Hello,
I was wondering, I'd like to root my OP3T , following the guide w/e here or on OnePlus forum. But will be my flashed update as stable as if I keep it on stock recovery ? ( Since people w/e they have OTA on stock or flashing new update on custom recovery )
Besides, I'm already on Nougat 7.1.1 if I root, I won't lose it right ?
And I looked for the right TWRP and the right SuperSu but on their guide are for MM 3.5.1 and not on N 7.1 so where can I find the right version ? on their Website ?
So thank you very much for your help !
If you root your phone, the System Update app will detect it and download the full ROM for each update rather than the partial update. This occurs regardless of the status of your recovery. Since root modifies partitions that the user generally does not have access to, the updater will always overwrite all non-/data partitions during the update. Plus, when you flash an update, it removes root anyways.
My advice is keep TWRP as a custom recovery. When an update is released, you can still go into the Update menu in Settings and download the full ROM (it will do so automatically if it detects root). Then just flash the full ROM in TWRP, flash whatever you used to root, wipe cache, and you're done. If something goes wrong, you can always use TWRP to restore a prior backup. The same can't be done for the stock recovery.
Ok thank you very much for those informations !
Still, do you know which version I should download ? Since I'm on 7.1.1 , thread only shows for 7.0
I searched and I found : SuperSU 2.79 and for TWRP it's the 3.0.4-1 ? Are they right ?
Can anyone help me with the steps to update to Android Oreo (OOS 5) from OOS 4.5.1 retaining root?
Below are the current setup of my phone
Rooted - Yes (Magisk version 14.0)
Recovery - TWRP version 3.1.1-2
Current Rom - Stock OOS 4.5.1
I haven't had any problems in updating earlier but now when I try to flash the full oreo rom from TWRP, I am getting error 7.
Below are the steps I followed.
Downloaded the full OTA zip.
Rebooted to recovery.
Unistalled Magisk.
Tried to flash the Oreo OTA zip. At this point TWRP showed error 7.
Reinstalled Magisk and rebooted to system.
Phone is working fine.
you need to use latest twrp for oreo, for example blue spark version, search for it on xda...
Follow this guide here:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/how-to-install-oos-5-0-over-rooted-4-5-1.684519/#post-17134194
It's exactly what you need.
All Oreo ROM threads clearly state under the "Instructions" heading, that you need either AkhilNarangs Modified TWRP or Blu_Sparks TWRP V50. Using stock TWRP would result in an error.
If the error may still persist, try flashing a different firmware.
Just to get some more clarity.
I have the original OTA full zip. Should I download the zip file from your thread?
Can I install the custom version of TWRP using the official TWRP app? I am bit confused on how to install it.
Is it important that I should use Magisk 14.3 or will v 14 have the same effect?
Hey there,
I can tell you how I have done it yesterday (successfully).
1. Update TWRP - I prefer blu sparks version 8.52 (Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=27225); you can do it by using your installed TWRP Version (Install .img)
2. Dirty flash OOS 4.5.1 again (to remove root / magisk) - once finished DO NOT reboot into system, reboot into Recovery/TWRP to verify the new version and afterwards to system
3. flash OOS 5.0 (Oreo) - dirty flash is okay
4. flash magisk Version 14.3
These are the steps I have followed yesterday and all is running perfect and without any problems.

Which recovery is mentioned in this linked discussion resp. in the linked download? Is it blu_spark TWRP?
Regards
Clark
This worked perfectly for me.
Glad to hear that everything is good ?
I did the same and I was suddenly encrypted and no chance to get my data back. Still forcing clean my phone because I cannot format the device. I get always an error message in TWRP like: unable to format to remove encryption
I go crazy...
Enter recovery and wipe data and then cache.
Then reflash the rom and probably you will be good to go.
I have a oneplus 3t and am on OOS 4.0.3 and decided to upgrade to OOS 5.0. I downloaded the ROM, took a backup and then clean wiped my phone. Then I tried installing the ROM but it failed. So I decided to restore my backup from USB OTG. While restore failed and it showed error 255 while restoring data, so I wiped again and then restored everything except data. The phone rebooted and everything is fine except the phone is not detecting my sim card. I have tried restoring again and rebooting but it didn't work. I am using twrp 3.1.1
Please give a solution or tell me which ROM version to flash to solve this problem.
Just follow this guide to get back to factory default. And then try OTA update with the default recovery instead of TWRP.

You need a special TWRP in order to upgrade to Android Oreo. Just google for Oneplus3 Oreo TWRP and theres a OnePlus-Forum Thread where you can download the TWRP that is needed for the Oreo Upgrade. Your Backup should work without Problems after you installed Oreo
just install bluSpark TWRP v8.61 from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=27655
and download official 5.0.1 ROM zip file from oneplus official site.
then you can proceed. You can use Magisk 15.3 after ROM installation for root access.
Make sure to reboot TWRP once after wiping everything from TWRP otherwise you may lose TWRP where stock recovery may take place.
I am using Redmi 4a . Rooted with magisk and recovery is Twrp. It. I don't want to lose root access after update. tried FlashFire but it crashes when I open it .
Help appreciated !
I'm using miui10 (beta) developper Rom (miui_HM4AGlobal_8.10.25_d36c3e7df5_7.1.zip) and it is true that a big update (mean when it's the entire ROM) replaces twrp and crashes root.
You just have to install again twrp with fastboot method in order to flash SuperSu (the one i use) in order to retrieve root.

Hi, when used to use MIUI i installed pitchblack recovery and after the miui update it didn´t dissapeared so there is no need to always flash the recovery but the magisk fil you have to install again because the update flashs the stock boot img.
Received an update today , if i use standart ota updater via settings, does it overwrite the twrp and root stuff i have or it wont? Coz i never done this before, always using custom roms and now latest stock miui 11 with root.
You could flash the zip rom through the recovery, but keep in mind this. Let the phone boot with the new update, then go back to recovery (if you get the stock recovery, reflash it with fastboot), then flash magisk
So it is overwriting twrp and magisk even if i install it directly from twrp?

You will loose Magisk/root but not Magisk Manager app and all Magisk data like modules, apps granted root, etc - once you re-root, everything will be there again.
I only suggest that you first un-hide Magisk Manager (if hidden for you), at the end you can hide it again
If you update via OTA, you will loose TWRP. If you don't want to flash TWRP again, then download the same full MIUI 12 zip package you got OTA notification for, and flash it from TWRP (without wiping, formatting or so), and immediately thereafter reboot first back to TWRP, and only then to MIUI 12
If you would like to update truly by OTA, you would have to flash the stock recovery back before starting the OTA.
Hence the way as described above, you save first on flashing stock recovery, and later on flashing TWRP back
Ok thanks so after twrp flash i have to reboot back to twrp , do i have to install force encrypt then to prevent overwriting twrp by miui or not?
