How to update to miui 9 with twrp installed without losing root and data?

Hello
My mi5 shipped with miui 8 global stable. I then unlocked the boot loader, rooted it and installed twrp.
Now that miui 9 is out I would like to try it. The updater notified me of the new versione and I can download it but I don't know how to install it considering that I do not have the original recovery.
It is not a problem for me to lose twrp if at least I can update and keep root access and my data. Is it possible? How to do it?

You must have stock recovery then this method.

Or try zcx-twrp
but anyway there's a risk of boot error so backup important data.

Your best shot is probably ZCX recovery. But you'll probably end up with bootloop. Also you can try flashing stock recovery if you have it.

Root MI 8 in MIUI keeping OTA updates

Is it possible to root MI 8 in MIUI keeping OTA updates with Magisk?
And keeping bootloader locked? (I guess the answer for this is no right now, since there is no bug found already)
I've found this guide for Note 4 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/guide-root-using-magisk-stock-recovery-t3718203) which, in a unlocked bootloader phone can root keeping OTA updates. It keeps the original recovery to achieve it.
Has anyone done something like it in the MI 8?

enable dm verity and everytime your phone boot it will replace recovery with original recovery, then ota updates will work. But everytime u update via ota, boot gets rewritten and your magisk will not survive. u have to fastboot flash via pc recovery rom then flash magisk again. U cant root a phone and keep bootloader locked, it doesnt work that way i dont think. Magisk modifys boot partition and relocking it will either softbrick or just not lock. Correct me if i am wrong

Rooting Xiaomi Mi 9 and possible issues when OTA update is available.

Hello everyone,
I'm thinking about buying an Xiaomi Mi 9 and I have some questions:
1) How simple is rooting it?
I read this guide and I would know if I need to download the Full ROM, or can I simply install Magisk. Indeed I don't understand the steps about going in Magisk Manager Settings (I never done it).
Can't I simply download Magisk Manager and install it as usual (adb sideload in recovery mode), after unlock the bootloader?
In an other guide I've read that LazyFlasher is required! Is it?
2) If I succed in rooting the Mi 9 with Magisk, when some OTA update is available, may I have some problems when I update it?
I mean... with my old Samsung Galaxy S5 (with LineageOS and rooted with Magisk) when I have an OTA update I simply download it, starting the install the phone starts in recovery... it flash the update, and after the first boot (not rooted anymore) I go in recovery again and I install Magisk for restore the root. Can I do the same thing with the Mi 9?
If someone have a tested guide or some advice about rooting I appreciate it.
Thanks everyone.

I think it's simpler to root with TWRP. I never really got the hang of the method where you use Magisk Manager to flash the stock boot image so you can perform a normal OTA. I tried on a couple phones but never got it to work right. Maybe you will have a better result.

k20 pro premium system has been destroyed

i had to flash global rom again because it wasnt booting after root. today i received ota update and now it displays the message the system has been destroyed.
bootloader is locked after flash. my computer still recognizes my phone and i can unlock after 83 hours.
my question is is it possible to flash rom after unlocking bootloader or not? or do i need to i need to follow another method?

i managed to fix my phone using the mi unlock tool and unlocking the bootloader.
one problem that im having is installing magisk. i managed to install twrp but everytime i try to install magisk 2.0.1 i get bootlooped to twrp. i cant boot to android. any help?

Either u can clean install whole system or use magisk manager for recovery to delete all the modules u had(I haven't tried tho ) or clean flash boot.img from latest fastboot rom.

1. Yes, but you must reinstall it every time you change ROM, since as it is a device with A / B partitions, recovery is integrated into the boot image, so when installing a ROM it will always be lost.
2. You can start TWRP via fastboot and a PC and just install Magisk. It's up to you if you want to leave TWRP "permanent" or not
3. You can receive updates via OTA even with only the bootloader unlocked, but for obvious reasons (and explained in the first point), you will lose root and TWRP

Ok,thanks you,I had install magisk patching boot.img and for now i'm not intersted in twrp or custom rom.I do what i want a redmi note 11 with unlocked bootloader and rooted with Magisk
