You don't believe, huh? Ask Patambiz - he knows SOMETHING about that.
For all OTA updators
You mustn't update your ROM from 7.x to 8.x, also from (example) 8.0 to 8.2. You must firstly flash 8.1 and then 8.2. The same with 7.x: 7.x ---> 8.0 ---> 8.1 OTA ---> 8.2 OTA.
You can update via OTA Updater app only when your current version of ROM is only x.1 older. Example: you cannot update via OTA app when you are on 8.0 and the latest version of ROM is 8.2.
Only those OTA updating methods are proper and guarantee perfect ROM working.
Getting MD5 error in OTA Updater app? Try again by tapping on "updates"!
Updates for example from 8.x to brand new 9.0 probably won't be available via OTA due to big changes including AROMA and other huge stuff.
