Will I be able to flash or install the zip from CWM recovery?
haven’t tried
Bro…!! The best safe method is to unroot your phone & flash stock recovery via SP flash tool..then update your phone from settings>>>About Phone>>>System Update..& don’t forget to copy your internal data in PC.
while booting into recovery mode and clicking on install update package message received that cant install from update. update could only be performed through OTA client
Please let me know which device you are using

If you want to install any custom ROM then you can flash it via any custom recovery like TWRP or CWM

But if you are updating to a stock ROM then use the stock recovery
Well somehow found the beta version for Asus ZenFone ze550ml despite it having been removed some weeks ago. My ph was back to stock following a disaster trying to load a CM Marshmallow ROM that pretty much bricked my ph for a week or so. Became frustrated with how slowwwwww Asus are getting their release out so risked dropping the beta version into the root drive of my phone. Renamed it from ZOTA to UL -Z008-etc and bingo the ph straight away recognized this as an update and installed it without a glitch. So far been running just fine and really apart from getting rid of some bloatware I haven’t yet noticed any major differences but then I’m a pretty average smartphone user not a tech. A lot more straightforward for me then booting into recovery which can be a bitch on this ph.
