Yes you get OTA if you flash via Odin but dont root or something if you stay on stock than YES

Today official OTA SB4 is available and i got notification for update, downloaded update twice and both times it said download file is invalid, i guess I'll have to update through PC? Something definitely is broken somewhere.

Do you get any error in recovery?Maybe is bad download...anyway i recommend flash it via Odin but use HOME_CSC if you wont lose data...home csc means just update if you flash with normal csc than is full install and means factory reset

Yes there are errors in recovery, recovery mode starts with "no command" error and then in recovery it give multiple errors, like recovery file is not found etc.
Can your please guide, what if i download official country firmware zip which i already have downloaded from updato for pak, now can i flash the zip file using stock recovery? Is it safe?
For odin my issue is tht i don't have pc or laptop with me, 2ndly i don't want to lose my data, there's a long long and reliable process of restoring and backup.

So in short would you recommend updating OTA ZIP from recovery? If yes what would be the way?
