There are plenty of threads to answer your vague question.... But you have to be completely stock first.
So to be more specific, would I have to flash a stock recover, lose root and upgrade. Then root and flash twrp again?

That's right.
How about just flashing the OTA zip file in TWRP? That way you wouldn't lose data, right?
Could I upgrade to the latest twrp and is there a zip to flash?

Assuming you are on Android 5 (Lollipop) then things have changed and you need to use fastboot from a PC to install TWRP 2.8.1.0
That worked for me as I just upgraded my Nexus 5 with my Nexus 10 next on the list. Of note is that you need to root your device BEFORE installing TWRP due to some Android 5 specific changes. Chainfire's root fixes that issue with custom recoveries.
For example on my linux PC:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-xxxxxxx.img
All I did is flash the original 5.0 Lollipop release, then fastboot flashed TWRP and CFAR to get back root and done. Running the stock rom with TWRP and Root with no problems. I actually find this setup to run smother than the few ROMs that were created with options in them.
Hi
I have a non rooted Note 4 N901F, L.5.1.1.
I didn't plan to root it for now, that is, unless I have to.
What I mean is I would like to have a recovery, like TWRP, so I can do full backups, wipe caches, and so.
How do I install a recovery? Do I need to root first?
Yes you need to root if you want twrp, there are other ways to backup your phone mate

Actually, you can flash the recovery before rooting. The method I use to root my C variant, is that I flash the TWRP through odin, then flash a custom kernel to root. So, you can say I flash TWRP recovery before rooting...
I am a little unclear about how to flash new images such as the recent 3.2. I want to update my shield TV Pro and not lose root.
I currently have the bootloader unlocked, which is necessary in order to apply SU for rooting. I installed SU via TWRP which has been flashed to the recovery partition. Should I ONLY install the system.img. (I'm uncertain what the vendor.img contains although but I'm pretty certain it can be flashed and not loose root.) Of course I would prefer to keep the custom recovery (TWRP) so why flash over that?
I suspect that if I flash the boot.img (isn't that what is "unlocked" with the "oem unlock" command?) I will have to do it again before I can flash SU using TWRP. This takes HOURS and I would like to avoid it if the 3.2 boot.img is unnecessary. Am I right that the boot.img contains the bootloader?

try flashfire by chainfire search xda forums app is on playstore
I have chainfire. However my main question is whether I should flash the boot image? Does chainfire patch or unlock the bootloader?
if you are all ready rooted then your bootloader IS ALREADY unlocked i have used it default settings
I unlocked my VNS-L21 with this https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701
I want to root the phone now.
In the guide it says that i must install TWRP and afterwards i can root.
AFAIK, from my experience with other phones, when i install TWRP it will mess up my current OS so i would need to install other OS.
Is that correct or if i install TWRP and then Root, the phone will boot normally to STOCK OS?

you basically need to unlock the bootloader after requesting a code for it, then you can fastboot flash twrp, and then you can root it. your phone will be factory reset, but rooted.
twrp doesn't change anything in any rom.

Hi fellows
I wanted to root my Mi 9T, but I don't want to flash a custom rom, I just want to have root on the official rom (global stable).
As I understand, the correct procedure is:
-unlock nootloader
-flash twrp
-flash magisk
But I have a couple of doubts about this, in particular about updates:
-If my phone is unlocked and I have root, will I still receive official updates from xiaomi?
-if yes, do they install via twrp? Do they fail installation? Do I loose root/bootloader unlock if I install them on unlocked/rooted phone?
-if no, is there an alternative way to install updates without losing root every time?
In other words, what is the best way to have a rooted phone but with official, up-to-date rom? (I have no problems downloading/installing updates manually, but having to reapply root every time would be annoying)

As I know you could receive updates if you unlock your bootloader and flash magisk, I don't have experience with that, I've read that from other brands people do this and still get their updates.
If I'm wrong correct my.
• You will receive the ota but it won't install
• You'll have to install the full rom and reflash Magisk everytime
• Orange Fox recovery can install ota BUT not available for Mi 9T/K20
I'm not sure about Mi 9t (have to wait for bootloader unlock), but it was so on Redmi 3s: I can install OTA updates, it goes through TWRP, but after every update I have to flash Magisk.
It was several years ago, so probably they've changed something
Thanks for your replies guys.
I can now confirm (just tested) that to update a rooted mi9t all you have to do is this:
-flash update zip with twrp (you have to download the update zip from somewhere, like mifirm website, the one downloaded by the update tool is encrypted and won't work!)
-flash magisk
-reboot
Very simple! No need to reflash magisk modules, just the magisk base package and everything works as expected ?

First TWRP that came out (LR Team), but that is because it was the only one available at the time, there might be better ones out now, check the TWRP thread for more info.
Magisk, I used the latest stable release.

I think it is more simple to do the update and reflash magisk instead of searching for the update package manually, isn't it?

You mean flash the fastboot rom using a computer and then reinstall twrp and magisk?
Seems more convoluted to me, since you still need to download the rom from an external website and additionally you need a pc and you need to reflash twrp every time.... it'll probably work fine, but it seems more complicated to me

Nah, I mean you flash the update you get the usual way. And then magisk afterwards. At least I've never lost twrp with OTA updates.

You mean the one downloaded through the miui updater? I can't flash that with twrp, it's encrypted. In fact, I can't even open the zip file with file manager, it says the file is corrupted. How do you decrypt/use it?
Few days ago I got OTA update while having magisk root and TWRP installed. It rebooted phone into TWRP and installed itself through TWRP. So it seems Xiaomi can now detect what recovery you are using and instead send you recovery OTA instead? Sadly I lost TWRP and root this way and needed to find newer TWRP (old one didnt boot and caused bootloop). Rom also didnt boot (after flashing new TWRP) until I flashed magisk.
Thank you all, it's nice to find this post before I create a new with the same questions.
I bought a new "Mi 9t", it received the latest OTA update, and it has been unlocked after waiting 170 hours.
MIUI Version: MIUI Global 10.3.11 Stable
Android Version: 9 PKQ1.190302.001
Model Name: M1903F10G
Now I need to root it without flashing twrp, I need to be on the Stock recovery because I don't want to lose the OTA update.
I ran this command :
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot boot recovery.img
Downloading ‘boot.img’ OKAY [ 1.404s]
booting OKAY [ 0.127s]
Finished. Total time: 1.560s
but the device reboot to MI-Recovery 3.0, can someone correct me if I'm wrong? also which twrp version support MIUI Global 10.3.11 Stable?

Weird, I tried that (downloading update from the updater app and rebooting to twrp to auto-flash it), but TWRP said update was corrupted. I had to download an unencrypted version from mifirm site to flash it with twrp.
Maybe it's a problem with the version of twrp? Which one are you using? I'm using the one from LR Team

oh I wish I knew After update when I went to flash back old twrp and magisk it resulted in bootloop so I was flashing all twrp I could find just to make them boot and then be able to flash magisk. However name of my file is "recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0607-REDMI_K20-CN-wzsx150" I think its "fixed" chinese one.
Is "recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0607-REDMI_K20-CN-wzsx150" support for MIUI Global 10.3.11 Stable?
Can I boot from it to root Mi 9T without flashing?
