You'll receive the OTAs as long as you are on the stock ROM, you just won't be able to flash them.
Download the OTA, and choose to install later.
Transfer it to your PC and open it with 7zip.
Look for the firmware.zip, and unzip it. Inside is the recovery.img
Put the recovery.img into your fastboot folder, hook your phone up to you PC, and
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
You'll now be able to install the OTA.

Check out Chainfire's thread. He posted a no-wipe version flashable through Odin. Follow the instructions there and make sure you download the correct version for your phone (GSM/LTE)!

If you want fresh clean stock then you can do two things:
1) on linux, extract the contents of the tgz package and use the sh script inside to flash.
2) since that's not possible on windows, you could use Chainfire's odin files first and next manually flash the bootloader and/or radioimage with fastboot. You can extract the bootloader and radio yourself from the tgz/tar package or look for them in the development section, someone posted them there.

You can flash it in windows using fastboot, you don't need to use odin for anything:
Extract the factory images
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
Thanks everyone...will give it a go.....Cheers

Thanks. Just checking, if I would like to do this, but without a wipe, can't i just flash the bootloader and radio like you suggested, and then use Odin to flash Chainfire's no-wipe version right? Just so i fully understand, thanks!

What I posted does not wipe. There's little reason to use Odin. Using Odin you *can* easily brick your device (Ask all of the folks in the Nexus S forums that used Odin to flash the wrong package for their device).
fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip <-- This does not wipe
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip <-- This wipes (-w wipes)

Give it some time, if it doesn't boot all is not lost. Pull the battery and restart.

I think that it depends on how many apps do you have...usually 2-3 minutes max. !
Is there a way to update to 4.2.2 using the stock .img from Google without USB? (Due to water damage) I would like to keep root too.
I was thinking to use Bluetooth to send boot.img, system.img, radio.img, bootloader.img and SuperSU.zip to /sdcard then use MobileOdin to flash them but unsure if it'll work.
Current state of Phone
Rooted stock 4.1.1 with latest TWRP recovery
Any ideas?
What's preventing you from downloading the new Rom via WiFi? Then flash in your recovery, or am I missing something here.. Are you trying to update to the latest 4.2.2 OTA? You can run ADB over your network, I personally would download the Latest CM10.1 and be done with it.

Sorry for not making it clear, yes I want stock 4.2.2 also need to update bootloader and radio, my new plan is this:
1) Download system.img boot.img JDQ39_radio_bootloader.zip (which I found Here) and SuperSU.zip
2) Using Mobile Odin Flash system.img and boot.img
3) Boot into recovery and flash JDQ39_radio_bootloader.zip and SuperSU.zip
4) Wipe
That should work right?

So, I got notification saying the new update is ready, I downloaded it clicked OK, rebooted the phone and said entering the recovery but it went directly to TWRP recovery ( previously I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my system and installed custom recovery)
So my question is how do I install this latest update ?

Not wanting to hijack the OP, but I'm trying to install update version 3.28.401.6 on an unlocked UK M8 and I'm in the exact same boat. I heard that the stock recovery for the M8 is different for different providers, so not sure now feasible it is to restore stock recovery to receive the OTA, then go back to TWRP. Is there a way to manually install the update using TWRP?

So you title the thread with your own solution as well. "Cannot install update due to recovery change..." How do I install this update? "
Obviously it would mean you have to have stock recovery, not twrp.
Flash a stock recovery, reboot, install OTA update. Custom recovery can then be reflashed after the update

Is there any way to install the eye update from twrp itself ?
This is an update file right, like zip where we can flash from twrp ?
The thing is I cannot find the stock recovery for my model 2.23.118.3
Edit : Found stock recovery of my phone
Huge thanks to @vm54 fore uploading it

If flashing stock recovery is too much of a hassle perhaps you shouldn't have started flashing in the first place, yes?
You won't be able to do OTA over TWRP, even the TWRP developers said as much.
Official Updates and TWRP
Excerpt: Installing official updates from your manufacturer or carrier is not supported by TWRP.
Period.
As for the stock recovery you need. Just copy the OTA.zip file to your PC and extract the recovery.img file within the firmware.zip file.

Yes, the main reason I unlocked my bootloader ..... was just for HK mod but then only I realized that my phone is S-ON and S-OFF is only possible using sunshine.
Ok now I have the recovery.img file for my phone.
What should I do with it ?
Using hassoon2000's toolkit select 'your own recovery' and flash that's it ?
And one more question my CIDnum is t-mob009
Does that mean my mobile is tmobile based ?
In my place we have only two carriers and we don't have tmobile,sprint or verizon here.
EDIT : @mroshaw I hope you got your answer from the post #6
EDIT 2 : @BerndM14 just flashed the stock recovery and updated my phone and happy with it
Thanks for helping me mate
Good Luck
Awesome, good stuff. This will definitely help me out too.
Can I ask one quick follow up - where on the phone is OTA.zip stored? I have Root Explorer so just a matter of knowing where to look.

Brilliant, thank you so much mate! Copied that down to my PC, flashed the recovery.bin and the update applied itself just fine! Restored TWRP and I'm back in business.

Flashing it will move your phone to stock recovery (Backup folder will not be deleted, you can delete it later on from file manager). But please make sure your device version is eyetuhl.

Than i still have twrp installed.. (Tried this a long time ago..) and than i cant install the ota.. Is there a zip with the original recovery..? Retue
My recommendation usually is not to flash twrp at all. Just use fastboot boot when needed. Disadvantage is that you don't have it handy if you're not at your computer, and you need the cable any time you want to start twrp.
Original recovery is contained in the stock ROM archive. Just flash only recovery. You can take the command from any guide how to flash stock ROM. But you need the one that is delivered with your software version. That's why I recommend not to flash twrp, if you want to do OTA it can be a hassle to find the right original recovery.
When you flash the original ROM it will have the stock recovery which will bring back your ota ability. Stock recovery is flashed by, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
