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?

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.

September Update is up now

Take a look here: https://developers.google.com/android/images
Download it now!!

Is anyone willing to try this to see if it works? I haven't gotten the update thru the Check for Update button in the system menu yet or I would try it. It never worked in the past but it seems they have updated this method to work w/ Magisk 17.0+. If i don't get the update by tomorrow evening, I will just install the factory image manually like i do every month.

I installed the Pixel 2 Update manually (walleye-ppr2.180905.005-factory-4895938f.zip) using this guide.. Followed by twrp-3.2.3-1-walleye and Magisk 17.1. Everything seems to be working fine.

wish someone would make the factory images Flashable. All this needing a computer to update is getting old!

I'm sorry I must not have been very clear. My ask was for someone to try the process detailed in the link I provided in my quote above. This is supposed to allow you to uninstall Magisk (don't reboot), take the OTA as you normally would on unrooted phone, and once it installs, apply Magisk to the new slot w/ the OTA installed, then reboot. No computer needed. As I stated above, I would do it, but have yet to get the update thru the Check System Update. I am well aware of how to install it manually, as I have done that process for every update. I just saw that the linked process was updated for Magisk 17.0+ and hoped it could be verified to work. Meaning this would simplify the monthly update process tremendously.

Hey, I'm following this guide to a T. But whenevever I push to install magisk, it fails.
Any idea?
flash-all
reboot to bootloader -> flashboot boot twrp -> push magisk to tmp -> push twrp.zip to tmp -> install magisk and it fails.

Are you using the latest twrp that was released end of August? I did and simply did fastboot boot <twrp image file>. Then right away in TWRP, instead of installing TWRP with the TWRP zip, I simply flashed the Magisk 17.1 zip. That's it. Done.

I actually figured it out. I had to use the Magisk uninstaller to remove any remaining Magisk, I guess, before I can reinstall. Now I just have another issue on the Pixel 2 9.0. Converting any user app to system app corrupts the phone.

I will try this guide as soon as the OTA is available.

I got another update today on my Pixel 2, which said: critical bug and performance fixes... I wonder what it is? The phone isn't as smooth after this and some glitches with youtube in landscape, there white nav bar appears, but I can't click 3 dots menu to adjust quality for example. I have to turn the phone in portrait and then do it.

No, it's not. Other manufacturers have released their patches via OTA.

So you think we have to sideload the patch?

How can I add the latest security updates to my Pixel 2 running 8.1 without transitioning to 9.0?

You can't. Google is no longer releasing OTAs for 8.1. Your best bet is to use a custom kernel such as FlashKernel, as I believe it is backwards compatible, and Nathan streamlines the security patches from both Google and the Linux kernel fork into his kernel.

Did anyone else got the OTA ? I'm still wainting

Installed TWRP, no access to sdcard

I've got my hands on this phone today. So I went on and unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP (with all in one tool).
But now when I want to root my phone through twrp, i can't access my files. I see the root folders, but when I go to /sdcard there are only a bunch of folder with random letters.
I don't know what's wrong. It is not asking for a password or anything.

Twrp has decryption issues currently. It's mentioned in the thread.
No need to install it yet, just boot to it.
If you're wanting to install magisk, just go into adb sideload in twrp and sideload magisk from your PC.

Thank you for your quick reply!
Is it bad that it is already flashed permanent? Or do I need to flash original recovery again?
I'll try and sideload it. Haven't done that before.

The current TWRP has decryption issues as its based on the Oreo tree and encryption/decryption works differently on pie.
Here is a post i did so follow it for easy instructions.

Nothing to worry about. You can dirty flash the latest full zip from my update thread or just wait for the next OTA as and when it comes flash the full zip that will overwrite the recovery partition to stock. For now TWRP is basically useless so i did not recommend to flash the installer instead just boot in it sideload magisk or kernel if you need to and retain stock recovery.
Feel free to ask anything if you are still in doubt :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the info! I'll wait for an update.
When that update comes, can i just install it from the settings? Or would i have to manually download it and install it thru TWRP/sideload?
And i guess I lose root after i update so i would have to boot into twrp and install magisk again.

As and when the update comes, just let the system download and install the zip. It will auto download and install the full zip when it detects root/system modifications, just make sure you uninstall/deactivate all mods/magisk modules/ substratum overlays before you update. You can check for easy instruction on the third post of the update thread. I will update the thread as and when the OTA is released.
Also you guessed it right the update will unroot the device so you have to root it again so you can either do the same sideload way or just do it from the magisk manager - uninstall - install ota (do not reboot) - install magisk to second slot - reboot :good:
I will again update the detailed instructions for easy understanding and and when we have the update :good:
Just stay subscribed to the update thread :good:

updating to latest OTA 11.0.1.1.IN11AA

I have unlocked bootloader + root with magisk. Is there anything special I need to do before letting the OTA update? What about afterwards, will I need to re root?
Sorry if this question was already asked and answered- I couldn't find anything. Just want to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid, thanks in advance.
For clarity I'm on the latest magisk canary and am using a U.S. phone.

If you're on ob3 I read that it needs to wipe, if you're on 11.0.0 stable then just update, don't reboot, disable magisk modules, patch after OTA in magisk and that's it

If you update then the kernel gets done too.
If you have modules installed disable them first.
You'll be fine.
PS: so are you on ob3 or 11 stable?

I'm rooted with an unlocked bootloader on 11.IN11AA (Global). How do I perform a local upgrade without the OTA file to put into the root folder? It seems like the Global version of the OTA file is nowhere to be found and I can't download it via System Update since it fails due to root. Do we need to just wait for the 11.0.1.1.IN11AA OTA zip file to be posted? Thanks in advance.

Yes, looks like we are in waiting mode for it to show up...

For those with trouble installing 11.0.1.1 AA update with root as Google server only pushed incremental OTA at the moment.
1. Flash your current version unpatched boot.img into both slots in fastboot
2. Use the following command to boot from a patched boot, but not modifying the partitions. (fastboot boot patched.img)
3. Update with system updater with incremental ota.
4. Don't reboot, but flash the magisk with magisk app to the inactive slot.
5. Reboot and done.

Thanks for these steps, it worked for me. After I flashed Magisk via the Magisk App to the inactive slot, I rebooted and had the latest version installed with root preserved. :highfive:

After I did it I'm getting the com.android.phone stopping and my Sims aren't recognized. I cleared cache, phone and SIM toolkit but didn't work. Grrrrr

I'm a rooted global user and update has never showed until today. It was only 405mb and Google play services was showing the update. Oxygen updater shows nothing and system update shows nothing. I'm gonna wait to see what happens since it's not a full update

Same here global 406 mb ota. It's like not recognizing we have root...

^^^^^^This -- easiest and fastest root upgrade I have ever done on any device.

This worked for me as well taking the actual partial OTA update from system update and going through the steps in Magisk.
A little nerve wracking considering the many times trying to update has failed on my last couple OP devices, but at least this time, it worked.
Thanks.

anyone have a patched magisk boot for IN2025?
I did the steps of flashing the stock boot.img, then booting the patched img, installed the OTA, used magisk to patch before reboot, but when it rebooted it said installation failed, and i was unable to access magisk after that as it was on the wrong slot... I had to apply the OTA update again, and now am stick without root
IN short, need either a stock IN2025 boot image to patch myself, or a magisk patched one...
TIA
