A new security update is available. It is 127.9 mb. Anyone know if security updates can be installed without losing root? I'm on 10q now, rooted with Magisk and using TWRP for recovery.

Hey I asked a simliar Q before, but wanted to make sure of something. Im rooted on H918 10D and have unchecked 'Automatic system updates' in developer options. Is this enough to stop the 10i update or does this only apply to Android 7.0?
Ive already read flashing the 10i via TWRP or LG Bridge will kill the current root exploit.
My fear is losing root without my choosing.
You could freeze both update apks with titanium that would keep update from running at all.

It won't install due to twrp blocking it. No need to worry if you already have twrp

Lol. Look at the screenshot you posted...
On a more serious note, hopefully DrakenFX is able to whip up a flashable zip for us rooted folks.

Im talking about the size of the download. Usually these minor updates are 200 MB.
Btw, this doesn't even include April security patch.
Just received B25 OTA but when I ask it to install, phone reboots into TWRP and I can't install from TWRP. Later I get a notification that update failed. I tried FlashFire, it detects the B25 OTA but will not install gives message "Unencrypted ....".

To get the stock OTA to work , you need the stock recovery (TWRP won't work).
Not sure about Flashfire?

It is 7.1.1 and is the March 2017 security updates. It does add night light and is supposed to fix the DND issues. It also has a modem patch.

Currently I am on 7.1.1 latest update and I am unlocked and rooted. Should I flash the 7.1.1 again?

Everything you need to know is in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484
Make a backup first, it (should) completely wipe your data.

Problem that I have found was with the Fingerprint sensor. Before I could unlock my phone easy. Now I have to stick my tongue out, while standing on my head, one leg horizontal, and he the other leg vertical. Wiping cache helps a little but not a lot. I removed fingerprints and re-added them. Helps a little.

I don't understand the question. If you're on B25, there is no need. If you're on B19 and want the B25 update, you'll either need to be stock or wait for a flash package before updating, since you've modified some partitions.
The OTA files only work directly on fully stock phones.

Try high end high ohm headphones, you will be surprised to see that they work correctly.

Sorry if I weren't clear, currently I have Nougat 7.1.1 and my version is 0B19 and I want to install the 0B25 that was pushed OTA yesterday. I thought I was running B19 stock. I am Unlocked, TWRP and Rooted. If there is something that has been modified in my system then as you stated, I guess I have to wait for a B25 ZIP to flash.
Thank you for your help.

Not true... I installed the OTA to my setup using TWRP just needed to delete a few lines from the updater-script to make it possible
Hello!
I have recently installed November Update and now I want to root my phone. Does anybody know a method so I will root my phone after that update (or maybe it isn't necessary)? I need certainty, that it will work.
Cheers!
Root using same method as previous updates https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-mi-a1-aio-tool-t3680211

Heh, I have noticed that. I think I'll just wait for November patch, then use AIO Tool.
A: Yes, you'll recieve official OTAs as long as you have stock recovery installed. But there are chances that after rooting if you install any OTA then it might brick your mobile.

Does it mean, that there is a chance, that after installing OTA update (with root), my phone may got bricked/bootloped/etc.?
I currently have the September patch on my Mi A2, but I cannot install the October update. The update downloads but fails to install. I heard that rooting can cause issues but is that really the reason?
hmmmm yes, that's really the reason.

You must flash stock boot and instlal it and again flash patched_boot
If you rooted by magisk, first restore stock images (Uninstall -> RESTORE IMAGES), then you can get OTA !!
The truth, this update so poor, I hope better from here to December, for now zero updates ..

Better update than be vulnerable to known security exploits
Hi I have a G5+ US version phone. I have TWRP and Magisk installed. I want to upgrade to the latest OTA. Where can I get the OTA, and what is the procedure with an unlocked and rooted phone? See screen shots of about phone.
TIA

You need to flash the firmware to update the device if you update it's with root then the device will hard brick, so you need to flash the whole firmware so you can upgrade the device.

Can I remove root, and update it with an OTA, of does the unlocked bootloader cause a problem as well?
Do you know where I can get the firmware?

You need to unmodified all things which you have installed,such as root, module's,etc. To flash the ota if there any modifications, then there are changes of brick. So suggest you to flash the firmware. And if you want data then use LMSA and make a backup and restore after upgrading it.
I think I am just going to do a custom rom instead.

Oreo is flashed, done, not messing around, thanks for your input. Used the NZedPred ROM, looks like stock and all my data was untouched.
