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've unlocked the bootloader of my Razr M and installed a 10.2 ROM. Right nowI'm doing some experiments with the stock Verizon 4.1.1 ROM, restored through a TWRP backup I've done... I just need to know:
Now that I've unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, if I accept the last Verizon OTA (98.18.78) am I going to lose the bootloader and TWRP? Basically, will I be able to get to the recovery / revert to CM10.2?
Thanks in advance!

You won't lose the unlocked bootloader but you will lose root. Also, the OTA probably won't install unless you use stock recovery and restore any apps that you got rid of. I didn't do the OTA, but these were some of the issues I've seen other have had. The simplest solution is just finding a stock ROM on here, I think there are a couple in the Dev area that are based off the latest OTA. Also, there is one on Batakang.
I'm on 19s, with an unlocked bl and rooted. I see that the 20s update is available. If I update, will I lose root and unlocked bl? Thanks!

I bought the phone it came with stock rom 5.8.018S. I installed TWRP and flash rom 5.9.020S (T.A.R.S by Steve/Grosshop/Google Edittion), all these rom come with pre-rooted.
Once you installed TWRP and backup your system, you can flash any rom really I haven't had any issue.
Root is easy anyway, just flash Supersu via TWRP from what I read for this phone.

Thanks for your response but it doesn't answer my question about accepting the upgrade to 20s and what will or won't happen. I also have twrp installed and am rooted on 19s. Ideally, I'd prefer to upgrade without having to re-root and unlock my bl again but if that's the case, so be it. Just wanted to know beforehand.

Sorry I was not sure it's OTA update by the system or flash it by yourself when you mentioned about the update.
Why would you accept the update when you can flash all the rom available, the update can only mess up/complicate things on your phone in my opinion.
You will get same stuff as in the 20s roms.
Based on what I have read I am pretty sure you will need to re-root and unlock the BL again (because you will need to revert these changes to actually apply the OTA, it will fail otherwise). I ended up flashing a Cydras ROM because I didn't want to deal with unrooting, etc, to receive the OTA (since I already had a rooted device and it would fail OTA).
If you want to do the OTA, then you should do it before doing any root/unlock bl. I would then do the BL unlock, install TWRP, and take a backup of the system image.
Today I Gott the OTA Update for the Lex720 for s20

That's what I was afraid of. Might as well give some of the custom roms a shot if I'm going to end up wiping, etc. Thanks!
Hi everyone ! I'm here because I want to do an OTA update. But i'm root and I have a custom TWRP and the ota file. If I flash it from twrp it will be working ? (Doesn't matter if I need to reroot and reflash twrp) Thanks !
you need to extract stock recovery from you current fw, and i am not sure if even then ota will work, I think you need full rom and flash it from huawei recovery
Install Custom B602 rom by persona, you won't regrete
Hi, I have an Axon 7 2017G with an unlocked bootloader, twrp, and root. Now I have the stack rom V1.0.0B09 and I have some OTA updates to do.
How I have to proceed if I want to update? There is some issue if I will update with TWRP or with an unlocked bootloader?
What is the procedure to have the last rom and, at the same time, maintain an unlocked bootloader, TWRP?
Thanks ,
youngz
Find a firmware thread, download what you need and flash in twrp. You don't get ota now.
Ok, so, if I will able to find the updates (also from the zte website?), can I flash them with TWRP? Have I to perform all the steps or I can install directly the last update for my device?

Use raystef66's thread. Download a stock recovery from there (for example some Nougat stock recovery) and the latest stock ROM. Then flash the stock recovery through TWRP and reboot to system. After that go to Settings - Updates, and it should find the update, just le tit update

In order to root your device, you need to flash TWRP .
Future ASUS firmware will be posted on ASUS website & you need to install the new update via STOCK RECOVERY

You need stock bootloader to install OTA updates [RECOMMENDED]
(I found a thread to flash OTA's using TWRP by flashing no-verity but I am not sure that it will work on TWRP 3.2.1)
I am not really sure about the Magisk Manager (I'm still new to Magisk)

When the new update released just flash it via twrp and reflash magisk, anything will okay. And the option patch boot.img it really not work since the oreo rom, you will get error while patching boot and installing module magisk.

I used tool for nougat from Asus website. So what is The best way for root this phone and make future updates?
I would like to finally know how it is with these updates. Unlocked the bootloader with the official application I would like to be able to upload updates. If I download TWRP and root my phone, I will be able to upload updates from Asus (the whole software file). Will the phone detect this file and update the system as it used to do? Will I have to upload it via TWRP? If by TWRP is how to do it step by step? dm-verity file needed? Is it possible to root my phone without uploading TWRP? Patching the boot.img oreo file with the Magisk manager does not work. Or give up magisk and upload supersu? Could anyone write instructions on how to proceed to root and upload system updates as they will be released by the manufacturer in the future? There are no step by step solution on this forum that can help me finally understand my problem and doubts

As you officially unlocked the BL, you will not get the ota notification in the future but you can download the full firmware zip from asus website and flash it normally ( you should be on the full stock recovery and boot to flash the ota or the firmware zip and remove magisk before flashing then re-flash it again after the update ). When you rooted your phone and don't have the stock recovery and boot images needed for flashing the updates, you can flash the RAW firmware and you will getback to full stock again without losing your data.

so one person says that I can install updates via twrp and then magisk or no-verity zip and the second one says that I must have stock fw in order to update .... so how exactly is that?
Can i flash updates from asus website for e.g UL-ASUS_Z017D_1-WW-15.0410.1801.40-user with TWRP then flash magisk? or no-verity? to boot my device normally and everything working?

No you can't and you don't need the no-verity zip after magisk 15.4 released.

if you want to use stock recovery, you don't need magisk or the no-verity file. If you want to use twrp, because it works for the 100th time, you will need either.
Ktl20, you will not brick your phone trying either method, so why don't you experiment and find out for yourself, that's the best way to learn.

I mean when updating ota via stock recovery then root with magisk we don't need to flash the no-verity zip after magisk 15.4 released.

Magisk only, no-verity file is not work. You can install the updates through twrp 3.1.1 and then flash magisk.

twrp-3.1.1 is not compatible with oreo and installing ota / firmware zips via twrp is NOT recommended and NOT the safest way.

Have you tried that yet. I have done it too many time to know exact it would be. And i agree with your opinion that flash raw file is the safest way but my way is not too bad to make it trouble.
