Hi all,
Sorry for the noob question.
Can I receive and install official OTA updates after rooting and installing TWRP ?
Thanks.
NO!
Ota
Oh. Can I flash the ota zip from twrp?
Kindly guide me as I am clueless.
Thanks
You can receive OTA with TWRP, but not if you're rooted. My method of getting OTA is by keeping a stock rom zip on my sd card. When an OTA comes out, I flash the zip, breaking root, boot into OxygenOS, accept the OTA, it should install, then I reboot to TWRP and flash SuperSu.
You can flash the OTA from TWRP, but when I tried that, it said I was on the correct version in about phone, but it still kept telling me there was an update available.
Here's a link to stock roms, and OTA zips.

Hi, I have a european S8+ fully rooted and with TWRP.
Everything's working great so far but I read somewhere that I won't receive further OTA updates.
Can I install them manually with TWRP?
If yes, 3 questions:
1. Where can I get them?
2. Do I need every single update or are the newest update always containing the older updates as well?
3. Do I lose root or TWRP after installing an update?
I've rooted with Magisk by the way.
Typically if you're rooted and modified the system partition (BusyBox or twrp or whatever) the update will not install in stock recovery. Usually you have to unroot reinstall stock recovery and flash ota. There's toolkits out that can do that. Or you can just find an awesome rom like a rooted debloated rom thats just recently updated and just flash that. Or you can what till somebody snags the ota update location then posts that.

If you installed twrp, then you can not flash incremental OTA rom.. You must always download full rom to update. Even if your phone not rooted.
Also, You could get bootloop / Brick your phone and get Relocked Bootloader and lose TWRP.
Like Rukijo said, just download the full rom (.Zip format) and flash it via recovery. You will keep the Unlocked bootloader and the TWRP.
I am on update channel retgb (UK) and have just received the first OTA update for this device. As I have unlocked my bootloader, install TWRP, installed Vanche's Modified Boot Kernel + wlan_custom.zip + magisk do I need to do anything special before applying the OTA update. (I followed the guide by Awesomeslayerg up to installing SuperSU)
I have looked around XDA but I do not know which stock rom I need to flash and then how to apply the OTA update. As I have magisk I don't think my system partition has been modified but because of the wlan_custom file and custom boot kernel I think the boot partition has been meaning from what I understand I can't install the update.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
I did grab the OTA update drive.google .com/open?id=0B0o6IYW5dPwHcExfSXVvMWVCWU0 (remove space between google and .com if thats is any help

It will not work, OTAs require the stock recovery. Since you hace TWRP there is also a chance that it might have mounted your system before, so your system image isn't vanilla anymore and the OTA will fail to apply. First try flashing stock recovery from here (search for the version you currently have, which is -33) https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/firmwares-moto-g5-plus-t3593160 and then apply the ota. Since the firmware you're on is quite outdated, you'll probably have a couple more OTAs on the way.
Now if that doesn't work, you'll need to back up everything you have (apps and data) and flash system, oem and recovery, and then apply the ota updates, then restore your data.
Hi guys. If i boot (no flash) twrp and root by magisk my phone, i will be able to update my phone by ota? Never have miui so asking. And if i can't then how to flash ota by twrp? Just install or i need to wipe something.
