Mia1 April OTA Update couldn't install - installation problem - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

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.

updating rooted phone

Hi all,
I am using XT1643 indian version. I have successfully rooted it using TWRP recovery. However, I haven't changed the rom. Today, it is showing OTA update of security fixes. Should I update it or is there any particular method for updating or should I ignore the update.
Thanks.

flash stock recovery and then update
FlashFire
or Just use Flashfire A handy Application for updating rooted phone. but remember one thing always keep backup and stock rom file to your pc if something goes wrong you can easily re flash your stock rom.
Both options doesn't work.
With FlashFire, it is impossible to find the update file, and with stock recovery, its gives an error when updating
If FlashFire doesn't work, you should first unroot your device, uninstall xposed if you already installed it, also remember to use stock kernal after that.. flash stock recovery than update via ota. Let us update what happen
Edit :- I tried my self
1. unistalled xposed
2. un rooted
3. wiped all data, dalvik cache, and other stuf..exclude system
4. rebooted
5. flashed stock recovery
6. reboot again
7. download ota
8. device reboot again in stock recovery
9. And failed to update
10. So we cant update our phone unless new updated stock images available...

OTA update with Magisk

Hi guys! I'm on stock rom Nougat, since i installed magisk i'll always get error when i tried to update my phone from Update setting (samsung things...).
But when i installed Xposed and especially a module known as Firefds which set fake system status to "Official" (it was "Custom"), when i go back to check for a new update i found this (attachement).
So what do you think guys? Should i update? Maybe its November security patch...
But i don't want to lose twrp, magisk and all the stuff !!
This update didn't includes November patch so far I know. This will be listed in the patch notes for sure.
If you install the OTA update...this will end not well I think. You will running in an unstable system because of root, twrp etc. This update will replace files which are eventually needed and so on.
I suggest you flash stock rom with odin, then install the update then re-root and re-flash twrp. Yes it is annoying, but its better to be safe than sorry

What about flash this update using FlashFire and keep twrp & magisk? I saw it in many other phones

You can of course do so...but my experience is that such methods will not end well. Do it like @zzThrain wrote it and download firmware from SamMobile with DQJ3 and reflash twrp and re-root to be sure that your system don't come unstable.
Any chance for OTA updates with Magisk only (without Xposed, etc.)?
If there is no chance - is there a place to download only monthly security updates - since full firmware versions (found at sammobile) are at least 10x times larger than the monthly updates?

XT1687 running NPN25.137-83 - OTA update

Hey guys,
My G5+, which is running NPN25.137-83, rooted with Magisk, TWRP, Xposed just prompted me for an OTA update.
I'm guessing if i try to update i'll (best case scenario) break something, worst case brick my phone.
I'm running Aug2017 security patch.
This OTA update says it includes Security updates till Nov2017 + Stability improvements.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Do not apply the update, it will end up failing as you have TWRP installed, but every time you restart your phone, it will boot to TWRP and then you'll have to reboot from TWRP to bootloader and then system. Anyways, I recommend waiting until the OP of the TWRP flashable stock thread updates the links with that update and then flash the update via TWRP. Make sure you go into developer options and turn off automatic updates. You can also use an app to freeze Motorola update service if you don't want to be notified about the update.

Per the TWRP flashable stock thread guide, I downloaded the OTA and shared the zip there
Thanks @jeffsga88! I will disable automatic updates to avoid any accidents.

B355 Update

Firmware Finder shows there's a new update available for my BTV-W09. It's B355 dated 06/05/18. It's a small OTA, only 190mb. Has anybody installed it? Does anybody know what's in it?
Firmware Finder provides the changelog. It has the June security patches.
No netflix hd update? ****!
How install? I don't remember. [emoji28]. Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any luck applying this update with TWRP recovery? Looks like it is going to require a flash back to stock to apply?
I was only able to install it with stock. Even then, it had to be the full install, not the OTA update. That install locks the bootloader and unroots; so I then had to re-unlock, which of course wipes the entire device, and then restore from a Google and Titanium backup. Not sure updating is worth the pain. really.
My rooted tab is now threatening to install this update when I reboot. Does anybody remember how to stop a firmware update when it wants to update on reboot?
I don't think there's much to worry about as if you're rooted with TWRP, it'll just reboot into TWRP and wait for you to manually apply it, if you can find it on the file system.
I'm currently trying to apply B356 which was recently released. This minor update contains the July 2018 Google security patches. The last time I did this from B351, this is what I did:
Via TWRP, Installed the 2 full OTA zip files for B352 downloaded with firmwarefinder. This replaced TWRP with the stock recovery but did not wipe my data.
Rebooted, and applied B353 via the normal OTA through settings. This installed the B353 full package (2.52GB).
Reinstalled TWRP with fastboot (twrp_BTV-W09_5_greatslon.img)
Booted to TWRP & installed Magisk
Re-enabled the 5GHz wifi radio
However, this doesn't seem to be working with B356 thus far. Installing the Firmwarefinder zip files failed (at least update.zip did, I didn't try the other two) so I installed the FF B352 images mentioned above. However, applying the stock OTA through settings wants to install 3 patches (B353, June 18, July 18) of size 786MB. They downloaded successfully but then it fails to apply during the reboot.
Anyone else have any luck? What did you wind up doing?
Thanks!
Every time I've applied an update, I ended up locking the bootloader and then having the phone wiped when I unlock the bootloader. I'd love to find a way to update without locking the bootloader. If you find a way to that with this update, please let post how you did it!

If you are rooted using Magisk, look here.
Let me know if you need help.
thank you but i tried this and got installation problem when trying to update
For me it worked to do an OTA update with the same version installed.
For example, my phone was rooted to 1.1.7 and I could not update to 1.1.8. So I downloaded 1.1.7 and updated via OTA. After that I could update to 1.1.8 normally. However, the phone must be rooted again.
For the OTA update you have to download the whole OS (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-os-repo-of-nothing-os.4464039/#post-87101175) and then dial *#*#682#*#* in your phone. Now a menu opens in which you can select the OS by browse in the upper right corner. My data has been preserved during the update.

can you please explain the exact steps?
I'm currently on 1.1.7 rooted with magisk
using some modules and lsposed
Short Guide:
Pretty sure this works across the board with most devices.
If you're doing a OTA and not a manual update:
1. Go into Magisk ~> Uninstall Magisk ~> Restore Images
2. Update via OTA (Do not reboot)
3. Go back into Magisk ~> Install ~> Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)
4. Reboot

tried manual update and keeps getting different source build is required
I was on 1.1.8 rooted with magisk.
My knowledge isnt the best but my way to update is:
1. Deinstall Magisk.
2. Flash stock boot.img (my version was 1.1.8 so i flash stock boot.img from 1.1.8)
3. Install Update normal over stystem updater
4. Reinstall magsik, done.
I tried it also with restoring magisk and update it over OTA. It worked and it installed, but after I installed Magisk to new slot and restart, it bootlooped 3 times and go back to old version. I think the new Android Versions install the update while restarting. So if you install to new slot with magisk you'll reboot with no OS on the Slot installed. I think the best way is just to uninstall magisk, install update and patch boot img
