You can't install official updates over a non stock bootloader phone. Restore a TWRP backup

Hi all,
I am using XT1643 indian version. I have successfully rooted it using TWRP recovery. However, I haven't changed the rom. Today, it is showing OTA update of security fixes. Should I update it or is there any particular method for updating or should I ignore the update.
Thanks.

flash stock recovery and then update
FlashFire
or Just use Flashfire A handy Application for updating rooted phone. but remember one thing always keep backup and stock rom file to your pc if something goes wrong you can easily re flash your stock rom.
Both options doesn't work.
With FlashFire, it is impossible to find the update file, and with stock recovery, its gives an error when updating
If FlashFire doesn't work, you should first unroot your device, uninstall xposed if you already installed it, also remember to use stock kernal after that.. flash stock recovery than update via ota. Let us update what happen
Edit :- I tried my self
1. unistalled xposed
2. un rooted
3. wiped all data, dalvik cache, and other stuf..exclude system
4. rebooted
5. flashed stock recovery
6. reboot again
7. download ota
8. device reboot again in stock recovery
9. And failed to update
10. So we cant update our phone unless new updated stock images available...
Firmware Finder shows there's a new update available for my BTV-W09. It's B355 dated 06/05/18. It's a small OTA, only 190mb. Has anybody installed it? Does anybody know what's in it?
Firmware Finder provides the changelog. It has the June security patches.
No netflix hd update? ****!
How install? I don't remember. [emoji28]. Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any luck applying this update with TWRP recovery? Looks like it is going to require a flash back to stock to apply?
I was only able to install it with stock. Even then, it had to be the full install, not the OTA update. That install locks the bootloader and unroots; so I then had to re-unlock, which of course wipes the entire device, and then restore from a Google and Titanium backup. Not sure updating is worth the pain. really.
My rooted tab is now threatening to install this update when I reboot. Does anybody remember how to stop a firmware update when it wants to update on reboot?
I don't think there's much to worry about as if you're rooted with TWRP, it'll just reboot into TWRP and wait for you to manually apply it, if you can find it on the file system.
I'm currently trying to apply B356 which was recently released. This minor update contains the July 2018 Google security patches. The last time I did this from B351, this is what I did:
Via TWRP, Installed the 2 full OTA zip files for B352 downloaded with firmwarefinder. This replaced TWRP with the stock recovery but did not wipe my data.
Rebooted, and applied B353 via the normal OTA through settings. This installed the B353 full package (2.52GB).
Reinstalled TWRP with fastboot (twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img)
Booted to TWRP & installed Magisk
Re-enabled the 5GHz wifi radio
However, this doesn't seem to be working with B356 thus far. Installing the Firmwarefinder zip files failed (at least update.zip did, I didn't try the other two) so I installed the FF B352 images mentioned above. However, applying the stock OTA through settings wants to install 3 patches (B353, June 18, July 18) of size 786MB. They downloaded successfully but then it fails to apply during the reboot.
Anyone else have any luck? What did you wind up doing?
Thanks!
Every time I've applied an update, I ended up locking the bootloader and then having the phone wiped when I unlock the bootloader. I'd love to find a way to update without locking the bootloader. If you find a way to that with this update, please let post how you did it!
I recently accidentally overwrote my os when installing twrp after having updated to 8.1 Oreo and forgetting to re install magisk manager on my rooted phone. I re flashed the Tissot version of 8.0 and the phone factory reset after it had a fatal error . I then rebooted the phone and set it up. Then I reintalled magisk. I then checked if I could update to 8.1 and for the past 2 weeks I haven't received it. I tried forcing it but nothing happens. Any help?
Follow your name's meaning. Update has been delayed due to bugs
the update is up again.
Helpp!! I am running my STOCK ROM Android Pie March Update 2019. Previously, I decided to root my phone via Magisk, and then I unroot it today because I need to get the OTA update so I unrooted it.
I selected from the Magisk, restore images because I think when you choose completely uninstall you're going to bootloop because you're going to flash a stock and clean boot.img from the March 2019 Update.
After unrooting it, my phone is not a rooted, i even checked it via Root Checker on playstore and the result is not rooted.
Now, I am trying to install April 2019. I tried to factory reset my phone via settings and still the OTA update wont work.
It says -> Couldn't update, installation problem.
Would you help me please?? Thanks!
I had the same problem flashed the latest update from here via twrp and now my phone is updated.

I guess I am going to flash the new update, thank you for the reply!
Yeah, flashing latest the new update via TWRP on the link that you given to me works. Thank you again!
After a long time I finally decided to upgrade to PIE (stock).
The latest official Fastboot ROM I could find is from May (V10.0.9.0) - so this is what I used to install.
Everything went fine, and as expected I was prompted for an OTA upgrade to August which I performed. The Build number become ...V10.0.12.0
Afterwards I installed Magsik (V19.3) via Boot to TWRP - also with no problem.
But surprise: I was prompted for another OTA-upgrade this time to July2019, and the Build number shows V10.0.9.0 !
Ok, I uninstalled Magisk to get this upgrade done, but the upgrade failed..
Went back to re-flash the Fastboot ROM for May and .. and ... and the story repeated.
Any idea what's going on?
I would reflash whole ROM with the latest official Fastboot ROM again (do not forget to remove bootloader lock command from the flashing script or you'll lose your data) and flash Magisk from TWRP. For the OTA update follow this guide, you don't really need to mess up with TWRP more than once https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md.
One thing to keep in mind - do NOT allow system modifications in TWRP as it will mount system partition as R/W and prevent future OTA updates to install. If you allowed it somewhere in the past (or you don't remember) - delete TWRP settings from /sdcard/TWRP and pay attention on the first boot of TWRP.
