Hello guys
i want to ask how to install ota updates using twrp ,
please tell me the steps.
Thank You
There are two types of OTAs for this phone. One is incremental which checks for the apps and system partition to be unmodified before it applies the update. For this the script has to be modified to skip the checkimg part. Other is full which doesn't check and can be flashed directly from TWRP.

Get the latest OTA of 20160315 and flash it. Its the latest version and TWRP flashable. And it will update the system to Marshmallow too

So, i know that you cant update Android OS through OTA if you are rooted because it checks the device for files that were modificated...
But, can you install an update (with recovery, obviously) with an OTA ZIP file while being rooted ? Does it work this way ? Does it bypass the systrm check ?
No, it won't work. You have to restore to stock.

Thank you very much

When you install the zip through recovery the exact same thing happens - an updater script is run. The updater script is what performs the checks.
Good day all,
got a new OTA rolled in for my Droid Turbo, though I already have a clean flash from MM on this device.
The following update rolled in which failed to install per TWRP recovery (ERROR 7)
What exactly is this update?
Has to be installed with stock MM recovery, OR flash the full stock firmware, twrp version, in twrp (3020) worked for me. Don't forget to wipe caches, data unnecessary.

But I do not want to re-flash my firmware. Especially since this update is only 20+ mb it is not large enough for me to re-clean everything and restart it all. Stock recovery is the only solution?
Stock recovery only for tbe OTA. The OTA will likely fail if the ROM isn't pure stock. Flash the twrp version and wipe, and you'll only need to reload any ROM extras. Root with the beta SU after a simmered restart. It seems to like a settled ROM better. Update SU via PlayStore at restart.

If by re-clean you mean re-delete system apps that you don't want, that will be inevitable. The OTA will not install unless system is 100% stock, and the TWRP package will reflash everything to 100% stock. So either way, if you want this update, you'll be re-deleting some system apps.
However, if you're worried about losing userdata, don't. Neither the OTA nor the TWRP package will touch that.
As for your original question of "what is the update," it's just a security patch. It updates the android security patch level to January 2017, and it makes it so phones with locked bootloaders cannot be unlocked (but it will not re-lock and already unlocked bootloader).

Thank you for the info on the update. I will not do the effort for a patch like that.
Hello,
i have rooted my A2 through MAGISK and i was on october update and now there's a new OTA update available!
is it possible to download and install and root again or will i stuck in a bootloop if i installed this OTA
Thanks
You get the information about the new OTA available, but it will fail to install because of root, you can try to update....but i'm certain that it will fail.
You need to flash stock October boot.img, and maybe even system.img to be able to install new OTA update, and then root again.

Hey I have p20 pro EU version 6/128
Today I got a new update about Google security.
I want every update run on my phone
But I rooted my device.
I wanted first to ask guys , I tried to update but was unsuccessful. I do not have twrp because of the method I used to root p20 pro didn't allow me having magisk and twrp recovery.
So now if I want to update have to do it manually ?
2 questions
1) which program do I use ?
2) where I can find the firmware Official WITHOUT BEEING CHANGED ANYTHING inside from someone third.
Thanks John
You need to flash the stock bootloader. If you are running Pie and Magisk, you have a modified bootloader. I don't know where to download the stock one. Could probably rip it from a stock Pie firmware.
Me to have twrp on my p20 pro and i cannot update my phone.. Have new update but when I try system update after download, its entering to recovery mode for install the firmware but it cannot coz working twrp and unsuccessful installation.
Me to look for stock recovery for clt-l29 pie

The apk from this post will allow you to download the latest firmware for your model from firmware finder and flash it without needing TWRP or having to flash stock recovery. You will have to re-root afterwards though

Download the current version you are using. Extract recovery_ramdisk.img and flash. Reboot and take OTA update. You will lose root, as I said you have a modified recovery and need stock to take OTA.
Edit - Once your done, patch the bootloader from Magisk and flash to get root again.

i just flash recovery ramdisk hmm i think it will brick my device.
how do i flash it?
I've just installed Magisk on my device. I tried to update my phone via OTA with this tutorial https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/tutorials.html#ota-installation but the update fails.
I didn't flash the recovery image
I solved my problem.
I did few modifications on the system partition with Adaway, so that's why the OTA didn't work. So I reflash the firmware, and I followed the steps for OTA updates, and that works now!
I have that problem again : I tried to update from 7 to 13 and failed all the time. Before that, I installed the November 1st patch and lost the root. So I downgraded to 7 to get root again.
At Step 3, the update stops at 56% before the update fails.

Hi,
I'm having a similar issue with the OTA installation after getting magisk root using the Boot Image Patching method. The tutorial shows several different methods, but so far I haven't had luck with any of them. I tried the one for "Devices with A/B Partitions" and got as far as flashing the original boot image back but the OTA still wouldn't install. The flashfire method wouldn't work because flashfire says it isn't compatible with "20.1:MAGISKSU". I didn't touch the recovery partition and I am using the same file I used to create the patched magisk boot image (without the alteration) to try to get back to stock boot image. I'm not sure what else to do aside from using LMSA to reflash stock. My concern with that (aside from having to reconfigure everything) is that I don't have the latest boot.img from the 1-9 firmware to patch it in Magisk and I don't yet know if I can use the 1-6 firmware modified boot.img file.
