In order to have root you will need to install Twrp to push Su which means removing the stock recovery needed to install updates(Another way is to boot into Twrp without removing stock recovery and flashing Su but there is no benefit in doing that, Twrp is nice to have). What will happen when you have Twrp installed is you will be notified of system updates but you won't be able to install them unless you restore the stock recovery back which is easy to do. Now you may ask if i restore the stock recovery and update will i lose Root?, yes you will and you will have to flash Su again with every update that's why there is no advantage in removing Twrp unless you want to update your system.
So in short you will have to root with every update whether there is stock recovery or Twrp.
Updates what updates never had one yet.

If you are on Marshmallow then their isn't one yet. But if you are on Lollipop it will depend on what region and country you are in. Some regions get faster updates than others but you can install them manually if you can find a rom compatible with you phone.

Remove root from the SU app go to settings and choose complete uninstall. Then make sure you have the stock recovery installed not twrp if you have it on you should be able to update after that. I recommend you reset the device before applying updates.
I own the 6GB Ram version of the phone and wants to root it so as to use Titanium backup to restore all the contents of my previous phone.
But the Problem is that we are still going to get some big OTA updates regarding camera and maybe more bug fixes.
I know the general procedure for rooting the device i.e. first unlock the bootloader then install a custom recovery then root.
I just wanted to ask if I just install back the stock recovery after rooting the device then will I get the Ota updates?
And I am sorry if any similar question has already been asked, I searched but didn't find any. Thanks

im using twrp and magisk for root. i still get OTA updates. but only the full updates, the 1,5 gb size
after that i need to flash twrp again and then install magisk again too.
but no data lost or anything so if you can live with that, its no biggy.

i assume you know how to get root ? unlock bootloader, flash twrp, install magisk or supersu ?
well from there its just the same.
getting ota updates see attachment.
after the update you are back to stock recovery without data lost.
so just flash twrp again and install root again, thats all.

1. Unlock Bootloader and Flash TWRP
2. Flash and Download APK Magisk 13.3 (Root + Pass SafetyNet)
3. If there is a new update go to OnePlus 5 Downloads
4. Boot into TWRP and Flash the new update.
5. Everytime you flash a new update you must also flash Magisk Root.
6. Done

You don't have to flash twrp recovery again.
You can flash a root zip right after flashing the full OTA package
Hi guys! I'm on stock rom Nougat, since i installed magisk i'll always get error when i tried to update my phone from Update setting (samsung things...).
But when i installed Xposed and especially a module known as Firefds which set fake system status to "Official" (it was "Custom"), when i go back to check for a new update i found this (attachement).
So what do you think guys? Should i update? Maybe its November security patch...
But i don't want to lose twrp, magisk and all the stuff !!
This update didn't includes November patch so far I know. This will be listed in the patch notes for sure.
If you install the OTA update...this will end not well I think. You will running in an unstable system because of root, twrp etc. This update will replace files which are eventually needed and so on.
I suggest you flash stock rom with odin, then install the update then re-root and re-flash twrp. Yes it is annoying, but its better to be safe than sorry

What about flash this update using FlashFire and keep twrp & magisk? I saw it in many other phones

You can of course do so...but my experience is that such methods will not end well. Do it like @zzThrain wrote it and download firmware from SamMobile with DQJ3 and reflash twrp and re-root to be sure that your system don't come unstable.
Any chance for OTA updates with Magisk only (without Xposed, etc.)?
If there is no chance - is there a place to download only monthly security updates - since full firmware versions (found at sammobile) are at least 10x times larger than the monthly updates?
Yo all,
I've rooted my op5 and installed twrp recovery, and ever since - after downloading OTA update and rebooting, it always boots into TWRP recovery and when i'm rebooting into system i get notificaiton that the update was failed.
i don't recall i had any issues with TWRP and ota updates with my old op3, is this normal?
any suggetions on how to keep my phone rooted and get the automatic updates to work?
Thx:fingers-crossed:

That's normal. If you are rooted, you won't be able to install ota, instead you need to install full zip

Too bad
Once I'll flash the update and my root will be gone, will it work? I mean, it's related only to root and not to TWRP?

Just when flashing full zip, flash SuperSU or Magisk before first boot and everything will be fine. If you flash SuperSU or Magisk before booting, you will need loose twrp either.
I'm rooted with Magisk and can do OTA's no problem
My phone is rooted but I want to install TWRP so I can install Magisk to hide root status from some apps. I've tried downloading the TWRP official app but after I flash the latest img (3.2.1.0) and boot to recovery I get a "Start Up Failed" message.
I've also tried using Odin to flash it (without root status) and I keep getting "SHA 256" error. Any tips?

You can't flash TWRP if the bootloader is locked. Since it appears you have a US version of Verizon's S8, the bootloader is locked. I know they've released Safestrap which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/recovery-locked-nougat-7-0-safestrap-t3772760, maybe that will help? I don't think you'll be able to flash Magisk though.....

Get the exynos s8 if you want twrp.

Ah okay.. This is unfortunate hah. I only wanted TWRP to have Magisk in order to hide root status, but I guess I'd be better off unrooting then. Actually, I will try safestrap first. Thanks!
edit: Wait if I just downgrade firmware to anything 6.0+ that has TWRP working that should work right?
