There is no other easier way to do this?
I had in mind something like download the update to the pc and apply it to the phone with usb connection. Isnt that possible. Could this method I thought brick the phone?
afaik OTAs cannot be installed via PC
name itself says Over The Air
I wanted to say if I get the OTA update from another source not over the air of course, could I flash it without porblem through usb cable?

yes, it can be so. I heard about the same situation from few people. But other still can not apply ota with rootReally? My XT1032 is rooted since i bought it and I was still able to apply the February OTA. Didn't wait for it to reach my phone though - I've downloaded it here on XDA, then checked for updates.

I think that people who have reported that they can't apply the OTA update had messed their /system partition in other ways than just rooting.
I've studied the update package and all it does is that it first checks if the files (and only those files) that are going to be updated are untampered with and if everything is allright, they are patched.
To sum it up - you can have extra files on your /system folder (like the su binary), but all of the updated files must be stock. The updater really doesn't care if su, xposed or other mods are present.
Is there a problem if some of the apps are disabled ? (not with titanium backup but through settings->apps->select the app ->disable)
