Good morning, I wanted to know if I can upgrade to Android 7.1.2 beta with root and custom recovery installed. Do I have to remove them before upgrading or the upgrade will remove them automatically ? Will my device even boot if I update with root and custom recovery?
Thanks
Nope. Cant with custom recovery..

Your phone will boot loop if you don't go back to stock recovery first. I tried just to see what would happen and that's what happened. People who tried to flash it with Flashify reported no success.

Stock ROM? Important information you omitted. From a guy who always runs the latest stock ROM rooted and custom recovery here's how you do it: You do not have to remove them first, and although they (SU & kernel) will be overwritten with the new boot.img, it is very easy and straightforward. You need the TWRP flashable (beta) OTA zip file, in the OP here. Put the latest SU and your custom kernel on the device root, or wherever. (should already be there) and then reboot to TWRP recovery. Select "Install" and then select the OTA you downloaded above, and tap "Add more zips". Next you want to add the latest SU zip (2.79 SR3) and last add your kernel. Mine is EX. Once you have queued all 3 zips, in less than a minute you will be back up and running 7.1.2 , rooted and with kernel. Even if you flash each file individually you will still be ok. (OTA, SU, Kernel). See the same thread further down... Credit for the TWRP flashable OTA goes to @Displax.
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.
Have a LeEco Pro 3 (US Version) running 5.8.19s official stock version, bootloader unlocked and official TWRP installed. But my system update fails everytime eventhough it shows there is new update 5.8.21s but phone boots to recovery in TWRP and asking for password. I have tried several times but its the same thing over and over again. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some different file that I must flash?
How can I stock update with rooted and TWRP?

You need the official recovery for update to work

You can update to 21s on the US version (727) from TWRP with a few modifications to the updater-script file (see the below post/thread):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72815409&postcount=48
This will remove root but it keeps TWRP so you should be able to just reinstall root through TWRP.
Thank you. Will it keep my data and apps intact or will it erase them? I don't want to lose all my important data and setup.

I did a wipe before updating but it should work without wiping as the update zip file is the official OTA with only a modified updater-script. Do a backup from TWRP before you try it and if anything goes wrong you can revert to that backup.
Running into the same issue..did your script and that worked. Thanks for that.
Flash 19s using TWRP and needed a somewhat official way to get to 21s. Use the script of d/l the official 21s update and pushed the modified zip to sdcard to get flashed in TWRP. So hopefully this update, updated whatever it needs to update and maybe it will fix my other issue... why when I flash Lineage base ROMs they show my battery only at 50%
I followed the above instructions and replaced with the updated script however TWRP is giving me Error 7 and a quick google search is saying it is due to problem with updated script. How do you guys fix this?
Hi,
I've downgraded my phone ZE520KL couple months ago but I've forgotten that VOLTE is only available on 7.0...
I've recieved the OTA notification, downloaded the package on the phone, but when it reboots it is going on TWRP & then if I'm rebooting it doesn't continue the upgrade process.
What am I missing? (on my previous phones this wasn't so tricky...) Should I use the Install method directly from TWRP? If Yes on which zip? Is it possible to find the one that I've downloaded directly with my phone?

Same like me before. Have you rooted your phone yet? if yes then try this, it work for me though (Backup your phone is recommended)
1. Download busybox, supersu and no-verity file
2. Using flashfire app, choose flash zip or ota option
3. Add ota 'WW-ZE520Kl-.....'
4. Add firmware 'UL-ASUS-....'
5. Remove tickmark from 'Inject supersu'
And flash, it will reboot but do not boot to system. You must boot to twrp, flash no-verity file, busybox and supersu or your phone will not boot. Then reboot, done.
If this method is helpful, do reply to me
Btw, sorry for my poor english.

Thanks, works wonderfully! Flashfire flashed the new OTAs successfully but the phone didn't then boot (or it bootlooped). A quick Google search led me to your response and the dm-verity file fixed the boot!
I also didn't flash Busybox in case you needed to know and before flashing the OTAs I checked the "Automount" and "Mount systeam as R/W" in Flashfire otherwise the app would just get stuck in a blank screen.
EDIT: WiFI isn't working, tried already deleting the files in /data/misc/wifi, /persist and /data/misc/dhcp as suggested in various threads but still nothing. Anyone know how to fix it before I attempt to do a full backup and wipe?

Deleting files in /data/misc is not helped. Try this:
1. Check your selinux permissive or enforcing. If permissive, you should re-root your phone. Remember to flash busybox too or it will may some crash. Still not working follow step 2.
2. Re-flash the ROM using twrp. No data will be lost. Don't forget to re-root or it will not boot.
3. Try the lastest fw .68 or .75 though someone told that the .28 ota file had issue on wifi.

Reflashing through TWRP worked Although I did it after backing up all the apps and did a factory reset which didn't even fix the wi-fi problem. But then Flashfire is useless if TWRP is capable of flashing OTAs right?

Not really. Since OTA file can't flash through twrp. It really annoying for someone (like me ), so for the easiest way is just flash it using Flashfire, no need to use computer to flash stock recovery .
@vEEGAZ
yep, that's what I've been saying for months. I've never used anything but TWRP to flash my phone. I've downgraded, gone custom and back to stock many times.

I flash OTA's through TWRP every time there's an update.

Yeah that's what I encountered aswell back 2-3 years ago, I remember I couldn't flash any OTAs via TWRP but apparently now you can. That's why I also used Flashfire in the first place but after running out of all options for the wi-fi problem I decided to give TWRP a try et voilà, it worked

I JUST did it....on 1711.75 now. There was no recovery partition update either so I didn't have to reflash TWRP after :good:
I did have a bootloop issue after but fixed that by flashing the no-verity file. I'm not sure if that's related to having magisk installed though.

1. After reflashing rom through twrp, i lost my twrp. Oh, but when i use Flasfire, it isn't lost.
2. Not sure but after flashing ROM your boot will change to normal so it may not related to magisk or supersu. Maybe it beacause of the twrp, i've tried reflash stock recovery once and i can updated it without flash no-verity file though i've installed magisk.

1. You will only lose TWRP if there is a recovery partition update in the stock firmware, yes, but that doesn't happen with every update. I think I read of a way to block it from updating the recovery partition but can't find the article right now. If flashfire works, use it, I just like TWRP for the other features like making and restoring nandroid backups.
2. I dirty flashed the update again through TWRP, verified the bootloop issue and then installed magisk (through TWRP) and it resolved the bootloop issue. No-verify file not required.

1.Ok, i got it.
2. The way using TWRP is keep the root ( root or not boot) and stock recovery is contrary ( can't root but will boot) or just flash custom kernel through twrp (not root required).
simple question :
- you are talking about OTA & Firmware...
I've downloaded again from asus website Version WW-V14.2020.1711.75 (I assume it is the latest firmware). Are you simply giving the example of an OTA that is released post the firmware version I have to install to have the 7.0 base?
Or is it anything that I'm missing...
From your explanations I should only :
- install flashfire
- flash the latest firmware
- boot into TWRP & flash no verity
- reboot the system
Right?

Yep, you can also flash the latest .zip via TWRP instead of using Flashfire, it's 100% working for me. Just REMEMBER to flash the no-verity file otherwise you'll end up in a bootloop.
I have newest oreo fw from asus website. Ive unlocked bootloader with official app. Now i want WTRP and root with magisk. I want to know how to flash updates to get all wroking?
1. Flash TWRP via fastboot?
2. Flash Magisk via TWRP?
3. When update will release i must flash whole fw from asus website with TWRP and then no-verity file to boot?
4. Or can i use flashfire app to flash fw from asus website and then no-verity zip?
What is the best solution to have updated system without use PC? Step by step guide will be great THX

The safest and true way to flash any ota update without any issues by using stock recovery, don't use twrp or flashfire or any other apps.
follow the steps below:
1. When you are rooted and twrp installed, to getback to full stock boot and recovery without wiping data, flash the latest raw image available. For oreo the latest available one for ze520kl is WW_ZE520KL_15.0410.1712.31_M3.10.47.16_Phone-user.raw.zip.
2. Now flash the ota update available normally via stock recovery.
3. Flash oreo support twrp-3.2.1-0 and magisk zip.
4. Done.
I'm periodically upload the latest available ota update for ze520kl in the ze520kl ota update links thread.
Here is the latest one.
Hello all awesome members, i have searched google, xda and even bing for answers but none have answerd me yet.
So i have an OP5 wich is running Oxygen os 5.1.2 and now i want to update it to the latest.
Things i have tried:
Download and update through the phone updater: Fail
Recovery manager: Fail
ADB sideload: Fail.
To be clear i don't care if i loose root i just want my phone back to fully stock.
So how do i get there? what am i missing?
Can you tell us more details, what ROOT method you are use? If you are using TWRP + Magisk, it's easy to update. Just download Full Update (not OTA) mostly OnePlus 5 will detected if our device ROOTED then will download Full ROM.
Then Goes to Custom Recover, Clear Cache dan Dalvi, install Full Update ROM and flash Magisk again and done
