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.

Can you throw some more light on this.I just want the latest updates. Download size etc doesn't matter.

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
Should we flash twrp recovery and root zip right away after flashing full ota package??

You don't have to flash twrp recovery again.
You can flash a root zip right after flashing the full OTA package
Hi,
I've downgraded my phone ZE520KL couple months ago but I've forgotten that VOLTE is only available on 7.0...
I've recieved the OTA notification, downloaded the package on the phone, but when it reboots it is going on TWRP & then if I'm rebooting it doesn't continue the upgrade process.
What am I missing? (on my previous phones this wasn't so tricky...) Should I use the Install method directly from TWRP? If Yes on which zip? Is it possible to find the one that I've downloaded directly with my phone?

Same like me before. Have you rooted your phone yet? if yes then try this, it work for me though (Backup your phone is recommended)
1. Download busybox, supersu and no-verity file
2. Using flashfire app, choose flash zip or ota option
3. Add ota 'WW-ZE520Kl-.....'
4. Add firmware 'UL-ASUS-....'
5. Remove tickmark from 'Inject supersu'
And flash, it will reboot but do not boot to system. You must boot to twrp, flash no-verity file, busybox and supersu or your phone will not boot. Then reboot, done.
If this method is helpful, do reply to me
Btw, sorry for my poor english.

Thanks, works wonderfully! Flashfire flashed the new OTAs successfully but the phone didn't then boot (or it bootlooped). A quick Google search led me to your response and the dm-verity file fixed the boot!
I also didn't flash Busybox in case you needed to know and before flashing the OTAs I checked the "Automount" and "Mount systeam as R/W" in Flashfire otherwise the app would just get stuck in a blank screen.
EDIT: WiFI isn't working, tried already deleting the files in /data/misc/wifi, /persist and /data/misc/dhcp as suggested in various threads but still nothing. Anyone know how to fix it before I attempt to do a full backup and wipe?

Deleting files in /data/misc is not helped. Try this:
1. Check your selinux permissive or enforcing. If permissive, you should re-root your phone. Remember to flash busybox too or it will may some crash. Still not working follow step 2.
2. Re-flash the ROM using twrp. No data will be lost. Don't forget to re-root or it will not boot.
3. Try the lastest fw .68 or .75 though someone told that the .28 ota file had issue on wifi.

Reflashing through TWRP worked Although I did it after backing up all the apps and did a factory reset which didn't even fix the wi-fi problem. But then Flashfire is useless if TWRP is capable of flashing OTAs right?

Not really. Since OTA file can't flash through twrp. It really annoying for someone (like me ), so for the easiest way is just flash it using Flashfire, no need to use computer to flash stock recovery .
@vEEGAZ
yep, that's what I've been saying for months. I've never used anything but TWRP to flash my phone. I've downgraded, gone custom and back to stock many times.

I flash OTA's through TWRP every time there's an update.

Yeah that's what I encountered aswell back 2-3 years ago, I remember I couldn't flash any OTAs via TWRP but apparently now you can. That's why I also used Flashfire in the first place but after running out of all options for the wi-fi problem I decided to give TWRP a try et voilà, it worked

I JUST did it....on 1711.75 now. There was no recovery partition update either so I didn't have to reflash TWRP after :good:
I did have a bootloop issue after but fixed that by flashing the no-verity file. I'm not sure if that's related to having magisk installed though.

1. After reflashing rom through twrp, i lost my twrp. Oh, but when i use Flasfire, it isn't lost.
2. Not sure but after flashing ROM your boot will change to normal so it may not related to magisk or supersu. Maybe it beacause of the twrp, i've tried reflash stock recovery once and i can updated it without flash no-verity file though i've installed magisk.

1. You will only lose TWRP if there is a recovery partition update in the stock firmware, yes, but that doesn't happen with every update. I think I read of a way to block it from updating the recovery partition but can't find the article right now. If flashfire works, use it, I just like TWRP for the other features like making and restoring nandroid backups.
2. I dirty flashed the update again through TWRP, verified the bootloop issue and then installed magisk (through TWRP) and it resolved the bootloop issue. No-verify file not required.

1.Ok, i got it.
2. The way using TWRP is keep the root ( root or not boot) and stock recovery is contrary ( can't root but will boot) or just flash custom kernel through twrp (not root required).
simple question :
- you are talking about OTA & Firmware...
I've downloaded again from asus website Version WW-V14.2020.1711.75 (I assume it is the latest firmware). Are you simply giving the example of an OTA that is released post the firmware version I have to install to have the 7.0 base?
Or is it anything that I'm missing...
From your explanations I should only :
- install flashfire
- flash the latest firmware
- boot into TWRP & flash no verity
- reboot the system
Right?

Yep, you can also flash the latest .zip via TWRP instead of using Flashfire, it's 100% working for me. Just REMEMBER to flash the no-verity file otherwise you'll end up in a bootloop.
I have newest oreo fw from asus website. Ive unlocked bootloader with official app. Now i want WTRP and root with magisk. I want to know how to flash updates to get all wroking?
1. Flash TWRP via fastboot?
2. Flash Magisk via TWRP?
3. When update will release i must flash whole fw from asus website with TWRP and then no-verity file to boot?
4. Or can i use flashfire app to flash fw from asus website and then no-verity zip?
What is the best solution to have updated system without use PC? Step by step guide will be great THX
Im confuse.
Im using 1711.75 with magisk 15.3 and twrp 3.2.1.0

The safest and true way to flash any ota update without any issues by using stock recovery, don't use twrp or flashfire or any other apps.
follow the steps below:
1. When you are rooted and twrp installed, to getback to full stock boot and recovery without wiping data, flash the latest raw image available. For oreo the latest available one for ze520kl is WW_ZE520KL_15.0410.1712.31_M3.10.47.16_Phone-user.raw.zip.
2. Now flash the ota update available normally via stock recovery.
3. Flash oreo support twrp-3.2.1-0 and magisk zip.
4. Done.
I'm periodically upload the latest available ota update for ze520kl in the ze520kl ota update links thread.
Here is the latest one.
I have a rooted (With magisk) L29 P10+...So I have tried direct OTA update from EMUI...downloads and on reboot goes to TWRP. I tried using Firmware Finder and same thing happens (with and without proxy). I then tried uninstalling Magisk (root) and trying again but that did not work.
What I would like is top go to the newest OTA update so I don't keep getting the NAG message of my need to update...but MOST IMPORTANTLY...I do not want to have to redo my phone, i.e. data and layouts with folders. Is it possible? I cannot seem to find a link for the p10+...I kind of see one for the Honor and TWRP install but I do not want to corrupt and have to start from scratch.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I have same issue. Did you get this resolved?
Well. i guess you have to:
a) install original recovery (may get one from update file or from forum, i saw download links here) with fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img
b) install update
c) install twrp with fastboot
d) install magisk from twrp
actually, there's this thread, which worked for me also. https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/how-to/flash-stock-updates-twrp-installed-t3819734
Hi fellows
I wanted to root my Mi 9T, but I don't want to flash a custom rom, I just want to have root on the official rom (global stable).
As I understand, the correct procedure is:
-unlock nootloader
-flash twrp
-flash magisk
But I have a couple of doubts about this, in particular about updates:
-If my phone is unlocked and I have root, will I still receive official updates from xiaomi?
-if yes, do they install via twrp? Do they fail installation? Do I loose root/bootloader unlock if I install them on unlocked/rooted phone?
-if no, is there an alternative way to install updates without losing root every time?
In other words, what is the best way to have a rooted phone but with official, up-to-date rom? (I have no problems downloading/installing updates manually, but having to reapply root every time would be annoying)

As I know you could receive updates if you unlock your bootloader and flash magisk, I don't have experience with that, I've read that from other brands people do this and still get their updates.
If I'm wrong correct my.
• You will receive the ota but it won't install
• You'll have to install the full rom and reflash Magisk everytime
• Orange Fox recovery can install ota BUT not available for Mi 9T/K20
I'm not sure about Mi 9t (have to wait for bootloader unlock), but it was so on Redmi 3s: I can install OTA updates, it goes through TWRP, but after every update I have to flash Magisk.
It was several years ago, so probably they've changed something
Thanks for your replies guys.
I can now confirm (just tested) that to update a rooted mi9t all you have to do is this:
-flash update zip with twrp (you have to download the update zip from somewhere, like mifirm website, the one downloaded by the update tool is encrypted and won't work!)
-flash magisk
-reboot
Very simple! No need to reflash magisk modules, just the magisk base package and everything works as expected ?

First TWRP that came out (LR Team), but that is because it was the only one available at the time, there might be better ones out now, check the TWRP thread for more info.
Magisk, I used the latest stable release.

You mean flash the fastboot rom using a computer and then reinstall twrp and magisk?
Seems more convoluted to me, since you still need to download the rom from an external website and additionally you need a pc and you need to reflash twrp every time.... it'll probably work fine, but it seems more complicated to me

Nah, I mean you flash the update you get the usual way. And then magisk afterwards. At least I've never lost twrp with OTA updates.

You mean the one downloaded through the miui updater? I can't flash that with twrp, it's encrypted. In fact, I can't even open the zip file with file manager, it says the file is corrupted. How do you decrypt/use it?
Few days ago I got OTA update while having magisk root and TWRP installed. It rebooted phone into TWRP and installed itself through TWRP. So it seems Xiaomi can now detect what recovery you are using and instead send you recovery OTA instead? Sadly I lost TWRP and root this way and needed to find newer TWRP (old one didnt boot and caused bootloop). Rom also didnt boot (after flashing new TWRP) until I flashed magisk.
Thank you all, it's nice to find this post before I create a new with the same questions.
I bought a new "Mi 9t", it received the latest OTA update, and it has been unlocked after waiting 170 hours.
MIUI Version: MIUI Global 10.3.11 Stable
Android Version: 9 PKQ1.190302.001
Model Name: M1903F10G
Now I need to root it without flashing twrp, I need to be on the Stock recovery because I don't want to lose the OTA update.
I ran this command :
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot boot recovery.img
Downloading ‘boot.img’ OKAY [ 1.404s]
booting OKAY [ 0.127s]
Finished. Total time: 1.560s
but the device reboot to MI-Recovery 3.0, can someone correct me if I'm wrong? also which twrp version support MIUI Global 10.3.11 Stable?

Weird, I tried that (downloading update from the updater app and rebooting to twrp to auto-flash it), but TWRP said update was corrupted. I had to download an unencrypted version from mifirm site to flash it with twrp.
Maybe it's a problem with the version of twrp? Which one are you using? I'm using the one from LR Team

oh I wish I knew After update when I went to flash back old twrp and magisk it resulted in bootloop so I was flashing all twrp I could find just to make them boot and then be able to flash magisk. However name of my file is "recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0607-REDMI_K20-CN-wzsx150" I think its "fixed" chinese one.
Is "recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0607-REDMI_K20-CN-wzsx150" support for MIUI Global 10.3.11 Stable?
Can I boot from it to root Mi 9T without flashing?

How do i root global stable rom 10.3.11 without bootlooping? Just rooting and no twarp .
I have OP6T OxygenOS 9.0.16 and I would like to update it to the latest 10.3.3 with root.
What should be my process of doing so? I have not been in touch with rooting for the past 3 years so I don't want to mess things up. Another note is that while I am on OxygenOS 9.0.16 I tried to root it which was failed, but now few banking and calling apps such as TextNow thinks that my phone is rooted and they can not run -- but my phone is not properly rooted according to root verification apps.
Please tell me how should I do the update to the latest version from this point and then I would like to unlock bootloader and install recovery and root it as well.
Please advice.
BTW my OP6T is global

Flash OOS full rom zip on both slots using TWRP also flash TWRP installer zip on both slots reboot recovery flash magisk reboot system. Easy peasy.
Example:
Boot recovery: fastboot boot twrp.img
flash OOS 10.3.3 full rom zip
flash TWRP installer zip, reboot recovery,
flash OOS 10.3.3 full rom zip, format data, wipe data,
flash TWRP installer zip
Reboot recovery, flash magisk,
reboot system.
Note: I use a USB stick. I flash magisk zip off my USB stick.
That's what I do when I use OOS on my 6t far as installation goes.

Are you sure there is no need to update to 9.0.17 and then 10.3.3?
I've asked once and someone said that 9.0.17 is neccessary before update to 10.3.x.
Also there is option to flash from system without losing magisk modules:
1. Flash manually from update center (do not reboot)
2. Enter magisk and flash to another slot (after OTA)
3. Flash TWRP installer like magisk module
4. Reboot
But I'm not sure if I remember it correctly.

10.3.3 is all that you need. 9.0.17 isn't the only way anymore.

I have a T-Mobile SIM unlock OnePlus 6t and I converted it to an international model so when my conversation was done I was on OOS 9.0.1.1 and I booted TWRP and installed 10.3.4 full rom on both slots and also recovery installer and all just like my previous posts stated and everything went fine. I used mauronofrio's TWRP the version just before the latest 3.4xx when I did this.
I always download quite a bit of various firmwares and also TWRP versions before I start flashing things just in case something goes wrong I already have other things maybe I can use and I don't have to stop and wait for some download to finish... And I'm quite sure you know this but definitely make a backup of everything beforehand to USB or transfer it to your pc just in case you end up needing it as a precaution.
Edit added:
I am assuming that you already unlocked your bootloader... I believe everyone knows to do that that's on XDA forums before you can do anything to any device .. I say this after reading post below me here. I guess I should have said that earlier but I just assume everyone knows that on the forums... My bad. ??
From fastboot on Linux PC:
sudo fastboot oem unlock (then hit enter on keyboard) use volume keys to move to unlock option and your Power button to select it and confirm. For more info see: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t-unlock-bootloader-root/
Super easy to unlock bootloader just remember it does wipe your device clean so move anything to want to PC or USB stick first...
I would think you could just update oxygenOS to latest then re-root no? Assuming your already bootloader unlocked which it seems like would be the case if you have an obsolete magisk installation.
Edit: re-reading your post maybe it is not unlocked as you failed to root. In this case just unlock then flash the latest fastboot image and then magisk as others have already stepped you through. You will lose data when you unlock so backup first.
So if I'm on 9.0.16 I could flash latest OOS directly from TWRP and then flash magisk? And no data loss? Of course I'm rooted with bootloader unlocked.
Oh dear this process is getting harder because recently I was busy doing other things it sounds way harder it actually is. Isnt there a way I pay someone on this forum so that user help me do this. Like download stuff links and proper version and follow me up with it because i want to do this without messing things up!

It is indeed a tough job. This A/B partition has had a lot of people bootloop/soft bricked their phones.
However, you need not pay anybody anything. If you are on stock, I would've recommended you upgrading it via Oxygen updater (a 3rd party app on the play store) and then using the latest recoveries (TWRP 3.4) and flashing it via Fastboot mode.
It is super easy.
