Hi all,
Sorry for the noob question.
Can I receive and install official OTA updates after rooting and installing TWRP ?
Thanks.
NO!
Ota
Oh. Can I flash the ota zip from twrp?
Kindly guide me as I am clueless.
Thanks
You can receive OTA with TWRP, but not if you're rooted. My method of getting OTA is by keeping a stock rom zip on my sd card. When an OTA comes out, I flash the zip, breaking root, boot into OxygenOS, accept the OTA, it should install, then I reboot to TWRP and flash SuperSu.
You can flash the OTA from TWRP, but when I tried that, it said I was on the correct version in about phone, but it still kept telling me there was an update available.
Here's a link to stock roms, and OTA zips.

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

So when I flash Twrp recovery to root my phone when The update release i have to flash stock recovery to update? What about magisk manager option to patch boot.img and flash it with fastboot? Then I dont need twrp? Am I right?

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.
Which unlock tool did you use?
The nougat one unlocked oreo too? Great!!!!
This weekend, I try Oreo stock with Magisk, and Titanium Backup can't restore apps+data. I thinking Magisk issue and I return to LOS14 because I need my phone with my data.

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.

I've rooted my phone a few months ago but want to re-enable stock recovery to be able to install OTA updates. I'm running Nougat 7.0
Can someone help me out please?

First question... When first installing TWRP, did you do a full backup? You should have backed up, then had to repeat specific steps to install TWRP to make it permanent.

Umm I wouldn't worry about updates they are not coming anymore. I'm not a 100% sure but I believe you can flash the stock recovery. img. and uninstall root. Worse case reflash nougat.
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.
