OTA update with root and TWRP?

hi! my OP3T is rooted and have a custom recovery (TWRP). now i get an ota update. i have read somewhere in this case its necessary to flash the ota manually in TWRP because i will lost root after this and if i flash it in TWRP i can after ota update flash superSU and will have no problems after reboot the phone.
i have tried this but get "Error 7" in TWRP while flashing ota update. isn't it possible at this way? what is my mistake?
thanks a lot for help and pardon for my bad english!

You should still receive OTA notifications with root. And it should detect you have root, and will download the full update zip, and it will install with TWRP.
Otherwise, you can manually download the full zip update from Funk WIzard's thread which he linked in Post #2 above (which also has detailed instructions on how to update when rooted and TWRP installed).

Works like a charm with magisk 13.6

I just did it with my OP3t and was super easy.
1) download update.
2) go to hidden folder .Ota
3) move zip file to another folder
4) put Magisk in the folder, too
5) reboot to recovery, flash ROM, then Magisk
6) wipe dalvik/cache and reboot
Edit: updated following testing of redpoint73's correct advice

As long as you already have TWRP installed (which is the situation we are talking about) you just need to flash the OTA update zip, then flash Magisk.
Magisk prevents TWRP from being over-written (replaced) with stock recovery. In other words, you don't need to flash TWRP, since TWRP is already there.

This means I will keep all apps/settings/files?
Thank you.

Yes.
Although I will caveat that with my rule of thumb: "hope for the best, prepare for the worst". In that a "dirty" flash of an update is often possible (saving your a lot of work setting up the device again). But you should still be prepared to wipe and do a "clean" install if you run into any problems. So back up your data, by your method of choice, before you try to update.
In particular, for a major update (such as OOS 4.x to 5.x) a clean install (default wipe in TWRP - data, cache and Dalvik) is typically advised.

Shall?? You used the word 'shall' properly in context? Kudos to the school system (I here assume India's) you attended, and to you for paying attention, using the 'King's English' in it's most proper form.

OTA Updates after root

I have OxygenOS 4.1.6 with magisk and twrp.
I can update my phone with OperaVPN ?
or I need to uninstall magisk and flash stock recovery and update version device?
How disable dm-verity?

It should just detect you have TWRP, and download the full update (not the partial update for stock devices - which will result in a bootloop) and install properly.
I would advise to have Magisk on the phone, and flash it right away (after the update - before booting) as you will need this to get root again. And it will also (my understanding) prevent TWRP from being wiped out (which may happen if you reboot after the update w/o rooting first).
Alternately, you can get the full update zip from the Guides section, when it comes out. Then just flash in TWRP. Again, flash Magisk before rebooting.

It's discussed in the Guides section. Please read before posting questions that have been asked and answered over and over.

Best way to update

Hi all,
I have Redmi 4X with stock ROM, TWRP (not Red Wolf) and rooted with SuperSU.
Just received notification on phone this morning that an update is available, so what's the best way to install this without loosing my data? Note the MIUI download page is still off line.
Do I install update via the MIUI update software on phone, or should I download the update and install it via TWRP. Or, some other way....
TIA
Greg

You can update via twrp or you could instal redwold recovery (via twrp - install image - recovery) and enable OTA Miui update

Thanks for your reply. So just to confirm the steps:
1. Just download the MIUI update via About | Updates
2. Boot into TWRP
3. Install the zip downloaded in step (1) above.
4. Install SuperSU zip
5. Reboot.
Will this nuke my apps and settings?
TIA
Greg

Yes, i did the same thing with xiaomi.eu miui rom, but i suggest you to make backup in any case of problem cause i always used magisk so i dont know if supersu is okay with that. But it should be ok

Working TWRP for Mi9T Pro on Android 10 (QFKEUXM) **SOLVED**

Now that we have finally got the update in the EU region I want to know if anyone has successfully flashed TWRP or any other recovery?
In case anyone wondering I have managed to get root with the latest magisk via patched boot image method.
**UPDATE**
I flashed the latest TWRP from this thread and all went smoothly. Also managed to get Viper4android working which was my biggest concern coming from Android 9. Happy days :victory:

I'm currently on MIUI 10.3.4.0 Stable with OrangeFox Recovery installed, Going to attempt updating later since, afaik, OrangeFox has Support for OTA Updates.

Waiting for your feedback, because my orangefox is ready for OTAs but i think because i forgot to check DM VERITY and FORCED ENCRYPTION it asks for password when rebooting for update and ruins it...this is my guess. So please share your feedback and it you checked the 2 options unlike me.

Okay so, coming from 10.3.4.0 Stable, OFox Recovery and encrypted, the update ran through fine without any problems. Since I'm encrypted I had to enter my password first but after that it started installing the Update. as far as I remember, I've seen that Orangefox's script that prevents Orangefox from being overwritten after every update (it's called OTA.bak I think) already handles both DM-Verity and Force-Encrypt on it's own, at least I didn't had to take any further steps regarding Encryption and such stuff and after updating it booted into MIUI 11 just fine (which ofc since it's an Major Update took a little longer than usual but at least it eventually did)

So what do you do when you're on 10.3.4 pfkeuxm Rom and running with twrp and magisk installed?
Can't I install the miui 11 rom via twrp and then immediately flash magisk again?

Following the advice here, I've got the update installed with twrp and magisk working fine. The only problem I have is that I can't read/write the system partition so titanium backup isn't working. Any ideas how I could fix it?

doubt about updating firmware

hey i have an OTA update but im root, if i wanna update my phone what i have to do? just uninstalling magisk through magisk manager or i need to install the original boot.img as well?
thanks

quick one,go to twrp and wipe system and flash stock rom through odin.long one and less error prone if you time->remove root->flash stock rom->lock bootloader(update will fail if bootloader is unlocked)reset is needed->update->unlock bootloader->flash twrp & magisk.
