Red Wolf Recovery is custom recovery based on TWRP source code however some things are working here slightly different then you might expected. The main objective of this project is to provide stable recovery with features which you have never seen before in a recovery and which have not been accepted for adding to the official source code of TWRP. This recovery is also first recovery on the world with password protection.
Based on TWRP version: 3.2.1
For device: X00TD
Authors build: ATG Droid

Features

Translated to EN & CZ 
- Password protection
- Flashlight
- MIUI Incremental OTA Support
- Built-in latest Magisk, SuperSU & AromaFM

  Power+VolUp to save screenshot in to the external storage (Will be automatically saved in to the internal in case
  that external storage doesn't exist).

No

Sir, is there a way by which we can manually download the update files and flash it?? If we can will it unroot the device?

I was looking for flash the stock firmware, with fastboot/something that can restore my device to full to factory (example : restore to stock if got bootlooop). But i can't find it now, that's the reason why I'm not rooting my device yet.

No

so we need to unroot , remove all system mods
then we can ota right? but still keeping the rwrp??

 

[gusbalaa]

i think we need stock boot and recovery,
also locked bootloader to still get ota.
As long i can remember OTA can't installed on unlocked bootloader.

Correct me if wrong.

OTA can be installed with TWRP but it needs some special steps like,

Modify updater-script in update.zip and flash it in TWRP after unroot and removing Xposed
OR
Download full ROM package and install it via TWRP and re-root the rom.
OR
Apply OTA directly after unroot if TWRP supports it.
​

Which one is applicable here is still not known.
Also it is recommended to keep bootloader unlocked if you do not have stock recovery, so all above steps are with unlocked bootloader.

Better keep the device integrity intact before we have tested UNBRICK with fastboot mode .. then we can take calculated risks.

Thanks for the correction.
I just keep my devices fully stock without any mods or something, agree with you no news about unbrick with fastboot mode. So I'm gonna wait for it.
