Hi,
I am pretty new to Oneplus phones and rooting overall. Can someone please list the steps for applying OTA after you root your phone so that the data is not wiped ?
Thanks in advance for the help !!!

Don't apply the OTA.
You need to unroot.
That means flashing the boot.img from the release you are on, then take the OTA.
After taking the OTA re-root.

Ah... That makes sense. So just flashing boot.img from the current release does not wipe my device, then take OTA. Then root again.
Where can I find the right boot.img I need?
Hello,
You can follow the instructions fr this thread; I can attest to the steps as I have tried them with success.

I saw in the other threads that it does not break any root or TWRP. I mean, TWRP just came out, there is no way that an update could be made and pushed that quickly. I'm still waiting to apply the update, I have not installed TWRP yet (waiting on that to be polished too).

true, i guess i could buy the phone tomorrow morning and just do root and freeze the OTA
The OTA does not break root or TWRP.
NO
OTA fixes things, doesn't break anything IF IF IF you don't have TWRP installed already. I personally took the OTA, root did not get broken. then installed TWRP, did a backup, no issues. Just make sure you read the directions on the TWRP thread, so that you don't throw yourself in a bootloop.
DO NOT INSTALL THE OTA IF YOU HAVE TWRP INSTALLED ALREADY.

If you haven't rooted yet and install the update or it automatically installs for you as other have said happened to them. You can still root your phone? I saw a guide on here that allows you to after the OTA update. But can you still install TWRP after the fact?
Yes!

Yes, use this guide to root, even after the OTA.

Then use this guide to TWRP it up.

Yes, this is what I did and had ZERO issues. Provided that you don't have TWRP already installed. Which by your post, i'm assuming you don't, putting that there for others.
If anyone is in a recovery loop because of installing the OTA with TWRP installed, there is a fix for that now as well.

Just wanted to make sure, thank you :highfive:
So how do I take the OTA if I am already rooted and on TWRP? I have read elsewhere that if you take the OTA with TRWP you get booting issues.

Two options:
1) return to stock (there is a thread for this), take the ota, root, twrp. This will wipe ALL OF THE THINGS on your phone, including sd card.
2) take the ota, then when in twrp (newest version w/adb support), when in tarp, apply the fix to flip the recovery flag (there is a thread for this as well).
I am still on the stock ROM with the exception of it being rooted and TWRP installed. Got the notification on my phone that 6.0.1 is available. But since I have a diff recovery, I doubt it will install.
Question is, is someone going to make an update flashable via TWRP for 6.0.1? There have been stock ROMs for the Nexus 7 2013 that were this way and all I had to do was dirty flash and kept all my data and kept my root.
Thanks

I doubt it, since flashing updates with fastboot is so easy. There are instructions in my guide:

Bummer. Thanks for the reply. Saw a link for a flashable OTA via TWRP...but damn thing didnt work and my backup wouldnt restore. Luckily your instructions on reverting back to stock does not wipe the user data (unless you tell it to) and I had a backup of my data anyway. So I just went back to 6.0 stock for now since I had all those files DLed. Will try your OTA instructions when I have some more time.
Thanks again,

OTA's aren't able to be flashed by TWRP so that'd by why that didn't work. The easiest way is just to flash the new build with fastboot, minus userdata.

What I am going to do for the OTA now. Just saw thought I would give that a try and had a little time to kill. Live and learn.
Hi guys
What is the least troublesome way of getting to 7.1.1 rooted/twrp from 6.0 rooted/xposed/unlocked/twrp installed ?
I'm willing to wipe, and would really just like a flashable zip but don't see any.
I'm not that familiar with update.zip's , but it seems like that might be the long way around, is to wipe system, apply the update.zip from ZTE and then accept the latest OTA? I don't know if that overwrites TWRP or whether an update.zip will even apply over TWRP ... ?
thanks for any advice

I don't know if you can get to 7.1.1 yet, but you can get to 7.0. I think you might have to wipe, and XPosed isn't availible for Nougat quite yet. The OTA update from ZTE won't work because your phone doesn't have the stock signature. Most stock ROMs you flash will take away TWRP and replace it with the stock recovery.
Miflash b15 full, take ota, flash twrp and su.

Thanks I muddled through by applying the B15 update.zip, then taking the OTA, and now I'm trying to get TWRP back and rooted.

You've probably figured it out, but I'll give you this just in case: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/upgraded-2017u-rooted-7-0-to-7-1-1-t3574033
I got the OTA update, and I stand corrected on not being able to receive them.

Thanks. It was a new development that I didn't know about that miflash can be used, so once I found where to get it, and got through it's idiosyncracies (what a horrible f-ing app it is) it was smooth sailing.
Hi all,
Was wondering if a rooted OP5 can receive OTA updates as a non rooted one.
Thanks in advance!
Also, will rooting wipe/reset the device ?

1. Yes you will receive the OTA but you will loose root so after the flash you have to reroot
2. Rooting does not wipe the device, unlocking the bootloader however will.
Read this thread first https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877.
In addition a rooted device will not receive incremental updates. It will alsways have to install a full package (as far as i know).

Yes you can download it but it will not install if the system is modified. You can flash it with twrp and reroot afterwards.
How could you download an incremental update? My system updates section did not even offer me a download of the incremental version.. and where else could i download it?
Hello,
I am on stock rooted (KyleBryant's method). I'm getting the OTA popup.
Should I take the OTA, and if I do, can I just repeat the rooting method?
Thanks!
Mike

You can take the ota, after you reflash full stock firmware, after which you'll just have to reflash twrp and Magisk to reroot. Or, you can just wait a little bit for me to make a ROM and partition updater from the updated firmware, which I was going to do some time today.

Goose, did you create that ROM and partition updater? Not sure where it would be, or how to use it.
