So the ota doesn't mind having twrp as recovery instead of stock recovery?

No, you must have stock recovery, so you can't use persistent twrp. Only boot twrp with fastboot and mount read only system image.

I keep losing my root after reboot

Hi, just as the title says everytime i reboot my devices after successfully installing magisk through a patched boot image file i lose root. Root works i also checked with the root checker when i don't reboot my device. What is causing this ?
Try boot to twrp [yes, just boot if you don't want to flash it] and flash magisk thru it.

Moving on, what version of TWRP did you flash?
follow the TWRP guide here and use Magisk version 18.0

And i flashed fajita version.
You need to fastboot boot twrp image and then sideload twrp installer, then magisk 18 on top of that.

I did that in the first place. As i said i had root on the previous version. But after update. I just couldn't find magisk file in twrp recovery mode to flash it for root.

Updating removes root, so you have to do it all over again. It's what has to be done with A/B partitions (unless flashing full update from twrp or going the uninstall/restore images magisk-flash to other slot route).

Are you serious right now? Your can't find it either because your haven't downloaded it or haven't looked in the right directory for the zip. Download magisk boot into TWRP choose install navigate to the directory the zip is stored in then choose it and swipe to flash. And FYI anything you download normally goes to the Download folder.
Use one of the rooting tools it will do all for you, more simple.
9.0.11 don't prevent any method of rooting, it's in your side that something is wrong

Does anybody use the TWRP A/B Retention Script? Is this for stock OOS only? Or custom Roms Too? I'm a little lost on how it actually works hope someone can explain it.

When you install TWRP for Fajita (6T) you use a zip file that is run from inside a TWRP boot.
The zip install TWRP.

Yes, but if you are rooted with Magisk, you'll need to also reflash Magisk right after from within TWRP, otherwise it will boot loop to TWRP.

Yes, but the OP was asking about the script.
But in general if you install TWRP, you need to install Magisk.

Uninstall Magisk with the .zip from their site. Github here
Instal stock recovery like you did to install custom recovery.
Next, download the C.27 update and run it from the file manager. Phone will reboot and start updating
After update, just do the whole process to root C.27 version like for Android 9.

I tried several thins to install Magisk succesfully with no luck.
I received my Global x2 Pro this thursday and i successfully unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp recovery. But when I flask the magisk 20.4 zip and reboot my device, i get an error saying that my boot / recovery partition is corrupt. I have to install C27 again from twrp and it boots up.
Can anybody help me how to install Magisk succesfully? It's driving me nuts. Also, i cant download the vbmeta.img from the OP. So i tried to extract the vbmeta.img from the c27 image to flash, but also no lucck
Edit: Finally having it working with the Orangefox recovery with the vbmeta.img. I thought that the link in OneDrive wasnt working, but it was my home networks which was blocking OneDrive. Problem solved!

Isn't it possible to install ota update from twrp? (I use mauronofrio). Is it mandatory to unroot, install C27 and then re-root?

It's possible if someone makes a flashable zip, though I dont know of that can be done for every phone. Otherwise you need a stock recovery to install the OTA.

Like @adsubzero said. Unless you have a custom ozip file to flash on TWRP, you need to have stock recovery to install a standard ozip.
