The [TWRP] Install of V6.6 PRIME update thread shows not to use that method anymore to update to 6.6 as it's not safe. What are the other safe methods to updating to 6.6 that allow me to root and de-bloat?

Hi, If I have a rooted phone, how do I update the rom? I have the stock rom. I guess you have to download the update and install it like you would any rom, but would this format my phone?

If you have a rooted stock rom, you will be able to receive update notifications from Sony and you can update using the offical methods.
However, the update will install the new stock rom without root, as this is not supported by the manufacturer.
There are some tricks to maintain root during an update, but there is no guarantee it will work.
(search xda forums)
FYI, for the current 4.3 stock release for V and T, there is a "one-click" root method.
Check this .

I can't update whilst rooted, the update fails to install. I would need to unroot before updating via the official method.

SuperSU has an option to remove root from your rom.
You can try that and see if the rom update works.

Here's the story so far. I'm trying to get root access on a Z3 compact. I was at the latest Ota firmware as of January 2016. I just unlocked my bootloader (in Linux) and now I guess I'm at at the stock ROM that ships with the phone? Android 5.1.1, build 23.4.A.1.200
I have downloaded CM12 nightly, but I'm afraid to flash it. I also have been reading several guides for rooting. Namely, this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343
Now I have the 23.0.A version downloaded. If I flash that, what next? Run giefroot? But wwherw do I go from there. If I upgrade through Ota updates do I keep root?
Are there any Ota ROMS that are already rooted that I can flash?
You should make your copy before open the bootloader.
Now with you open bootloader the next step is flash a custom recovery to get root acces
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-18-8-2015-t3181623
you can not update via OTA because your bootloader is unlock and your drm gone but if yu want update you can use flashtool and create a prerooted firmware with PRFCreator tool

I'm not too concerned with the DRM. But now my next step is to install Twrp? Can I just fash that from fastboot and the fastboot tool? I just searched (Googled) and couldn't find z3c specific downloads or instructions. Does anyone have a good guide to follow? I was reading that link you posted and I looked like you already needed root to install TWRP
I was wondering what sort of changes take place when you root the G5s Plus. I got several patch updates so far. Will the latest update stay once I root the device? I just want to root the device for now, not install any custom roms.
I received an OTA with an unlocked bootloader so I don't see any reason why you wouldn't with root. This only works with the stock recovery though, if you have TWRP installed I don't think it will work.

Rooting involves 3 steps. Unlock bootloader, install TWRP, and install Magisk patch. Just unlocked bootloader doesn't mean phone is rooted.

Unlikely that the OTA will install if you have TWRP and Magisk... I wonder if we can still use Flashfire to flash the OTA and keep recovery and root?
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.
