MIUI 10.3.6.0 with Root - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

There is a new update for the Redmi Note 7, I have the Bootloader unlocked so the OTA won't arrive, so I downloaded the update in a .zip file (about 400-500MB)
I have magisk on my phone. I will install the update via the Xiaomi updater, because it is recognized as 10.3.6.0
There will be some problems if I update like this?

OTA will arrive whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked. OTA won't affect by bootloader status.
If you have custom recovery in your phone such as TWRP, you have to download full ROM zip (around 1.6GB), not OTA zip and then flash from your custom recovery.
Let it boot once, then reboot to recovery again and then flash magisk.
You can't install update from updater app, even it recognized updater zip files.

Updating oxygen os without losing TWRP possible ?

Hello,
i am using oxygen os 3.1 with TWRP recovery. No root no modifications other than TWRP.
Is it possible to update without factory reset to the latest oxygen os without losing my custom recovery TWRP?
I read about signed flash able zips - but i am not sure on how to proceed.
Guidance is appreciated !

You want to upgrade to latest 3.5.5 ? You'll have to wait until signed flashable zip for 3.5.5 is made. For now 3.1.0 is the latest flashable zip.
Check this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/rom-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3209863
Thank you,
so i will wait for the full signed flashable zip.
still - my questions remain - i do not completely understand this :
Note: Since OTA incremental update zips will fail on rooted devices or devices with modifications to system files, it's not possible to use these to update without reverting back to completely stock, unrooted first.
To update you must either wait for the new, full, signed flashable zip to appear (usually a few weeks after the OTA update) or use the following workaround:
Boot into TWRP recovery
Flash the latest full signed flashable zip
Flash the new OTA incremental update zip
Flash the SuperSU zip
Reboot
Is it possible with the full signed flashable zip to keep twrp and my settings ?
Thank You

As it says you can't use incremental update zips if you're rooted or has a modified system. You can either Flash the latest full signed flashable zip & then Flash the new OTA incremental update zip (without rooting) OR just wait for the Full signed flashable zip & then flash it(whether you're rooted or not). As for now neither "Incremental" nor "full" signed zip exists for 3.5.5.
And Yes. You won't lose TWRP.
To understand more about "Incremental" & "Full" update packages, read this -> https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/tools.html
you can flash full rom zip and without restarting flash twrp image in twrp itself, its kinda tricky but it works
3.5.5 Full Signed Flashable Zip's now available. Check the thread I sent before.

I was on 3.1.0 with Hybrid recovery and root before the OTA for 3.5.5 came through. It installed itself via the ota (1.2gb) and when it was done I was back on default recovery and no root...which i fixed in few minutes..So I am now on the latest OS 3.5.5 with Hybrid Recovery and Root..everything is perfect! No network drops so far e.t.c
Edit: I didn't have to unroot for the OTA to work..It just did. Also didn't lost any data. all apps +data still intact
Thank You B!Gguy.
Signed flashable worked flawless

How do I flash Magisk to my Meizu m3 note?

Each time that I boot the phone up into recovery mode and select the system upgrade option it tells me that the firmware is corrupt (for Magisk). I was able to get the latest version of Flyme (6.1.0.0G) flashed to my phone without the firmware corrupt showing, however, I cannot for Magisk. How do I flash Magisk to my phone without the firmware becoming corrupt?

You cannot flash Magisk zip or any other zip from STOCK Meizu recovery.
You need custom recovery for it.
With STOCK recovery you ONLY can flash official Meizu firmware zips.
Only thing you can do is to root phone with root privileges option in Flyme account section in phone settings (you must have Flyme account created).
After you enable root privileges download Magisk manager APK from official XDA thread and install it(NOT ZIP,ONLY APK FILE!!!!).
And when you install Magisk Manager DO NOT TRY to install modules since you dont have custom recovery.

Axon 7 2017G OTA Updates with unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and root

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

It will not work, OTAs require the stock recovery. Since you hace TWRP there is also a chance that it might have mounted your system before, so your system image isn't vanilla anymore and the OTA will fail to apply. First try flashing stock recovery from here (search for the version you currently have, which is -33) https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/firmwares-moto-g5-plus-t3593160 and then apply the ota. Since the firmware you're on is quite outdated, you'll probably have a couple more OTAs on the way.
Now if that doesn't work, you'll need to back up everything you have (apps and data) and flash system, oem and recovery, and then apply the ota updates, then restore your data.

Phone going into recovery after trying to update the rom?

So I've got a little problem with my Redmi Note 7 - I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the TWRP recovery via fastboot and flashed Magisk v19.3 to root it.
Everything works fine but when I try to download and install the official rom updates the phone just boots to recovery and after restart it says that the update wasn't successful.
Any way to fix it?

When you unlock the bootloader it no longer makes automatic updates. You need to download the update and install manually via TWRP or OrangeFox in case of error.
