s-off necessary for firmware

can we update the official firmware update with out using s-off? if yes how?
thx

Sorry, but I did not get the question? Can you please provide details, rephrase it?

my question is that is it necessary to update the firmware ? is there any official htc application or software which update the firmware, or we have to manually 1st s-off then install the firmware update?
hope you will get this time
thanks

you don't need to update the firmware necessary, but if you want to flash an unsigned firmware you'll need s-off..

Yes you will, as long as you are using the stock recovery. Even if you are rooted you would still get the update. But to flash the update you need to full unroot.

Install ota update

Hello guys
i want to ask how to install ota updates using twrp ,
please tell me the steps.
Thank You

There are two types of OTAs for this phone. One is incremental which checks for the apps and system partition to be unmodified before it applies the update. For this the script has to be modified to skip the checkimg part. Other is full which doesn't check and can be flashed directly from TWRP.

Get the latest OTA of 20160315 and flash it. Its the latest version and TWRP flashable. And it will update the system to Marshmallow too

With twrp installed you need to flash nocheck recovery which can be found in the guides section

You won't get any regular OTA. To install the next updates you need to use the no check recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho.../recovery-bkl-nocheck-recovery-flash-t3778085 with Huawei Firmware Finder
Or use HuRUpdater 0.3 with TWRP and also use Huawei Firmware Finder
But I suggest you to use the nocheck recovery

Are you on which version?
If you wanna update without losing root. Its quite impossible.
You have to download full rom and flash it through twrp along with root and gapps.
