My phone M2102K1G came with IN ROM as I bought the phone in India during launch.
I unlocked bootloader and flashed Xiaomi.eu's fastboot ROM which is based on CN ROM and my model was then M2102M1C. I didn't like the Xiaomi.eu ROM and switched to Global MI fastboot Rom. Rooted as well. Very happy with this
I did not fastboot flash TWRP and left my phone on stock recovery. I have tested fastboot boot TWRP and that works well though the initial language (TWRP) is Chinese and you have to first switch the language to English. I haven't flashed anything via TWRP as yet.
My question is:
OTA zip file (Global MI Rom)
Can i flash it via TWRP?
Even though my phone is for the India IN region?
And if I can flash it via TWRP, then do I immediately flash with Magisk zip as well to keep root?
Thanks to anyone who had the patience to read through this and can hopefully reply.
In case you want update a stock ROM without TWRP and keep root throughout the updates here is my guide to do so.
Download on your phone latest recovery package manually from trusted websites. You can find the ROMs and firmware specific for your device on here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/star/ remember to download the recovery version
Disable magisk modules and reboot
Upon reboot go to settings->system version->Miui(top left button)-> in the updater click several times on the main icon to unlock hidden settings->once unlocked tap on the three dots on the top right and select "choose update package"->browse your folder to find the downloaded recovery package,select it and press the V button on the bottom->update will start->wait until completion and reboot
Once rebooted follow the procedure to flash magisk.zip
Reboot the phone into fastboot
Connect phone to the pc
Boot into twrp
Once in twrp flash dalvik and cache
Flash magisk.zip and rewipe dalvik and cache
Reboot system and voila

Ok thanks.
I'm definitely gonna follow these steps the next time I get an OTA update.
Don't need to be rooted to flash boot TWRP is it?
No, you don't need,but you don't flash twrp, you just boot into twrp
If I have a unlocked and rooted phone with stock recovery, what happens if I just update normally via the stock update procedure? Will it not work?
Without disabling Magisk or anything and just updating.
Honestly I don't know but I can say that magisk wasn't fully working after updating without reflashing it
Okay.
So I cannot flash the OTA zip.
But have to update using the full recovery ROM for the updated version.
And then flash Magisk via fastboot boot TWRP

How will I get boot.img from the recovery ROM?
Only fastboot ROM will have boot.img
I think you have a bit of confusion, only thing you have to di is download magisk.zip on your phone, boot into twrp and flash it, simple

Yes, you will probably have to reinstall Magisk as root will more than likely be broken. The update server still sees a stock rom and as long as you have stock recovery, the stock OTAs will work.
The guide posted above explains properly the steps. Will try that next time around.

I am having serious battery drain on any OOS 4.x.x rom. I used to have very good battery life in 3.5.2. can anyone give me a proper step by step guide to downgrade? Battery is a huge issue for me.
i have my own steps that i found it by my self but it will earse all ur data so backup ur data to pc.
here are the steps :
1. make sure u have unlocked bootloader, custom recovery (twrp) i prefer use blu_spark twrp latest version
2. pur ur 3.5.x firmware in internal storage
3. boot to twrp recovery and do a clean wipe(dalvik, data, internal, system, cache)
4. flash ur 3.5.x firmware. it will take a long time just wait it
5. reboot to system, ull get a no os installed warning in twrp just reboot it(swipe)
6. when the devices boot up ull get a enter password for decrypt data. just reboot to bootloader
7. when u in fastboot mode connect ur devices to pc
8. use op3/op3t toolkit to flash twrp from fastboot u can find the toolkit here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/toolkit-oneplus-3t-toolkit-unlock-t3507729
9. then wait when it boot to twrp and when it boot up wipe data, internal storage only
10. reboot to system. done
sorry for my bad english. i hope it works
Ok that sounds easy. Reboot to recovery after flashing ROM retains the recovery I guess. Do you have any suggestion of custom kernel for 3.5.x ? Also i have the latest twrp. Will is allow me to flash 3.5?

Thank you guys. It wasn't really tough. Flashed OOS 3.5.4 full zip. Rebooted to recovery then rebooted to system. However it was bootloop at the start then I restarted and flashed SuperSU zip, it booted up. Don't know why SuperSU is required to boot up. However I am not getting the support for Magisk. I tried cleaning up SuperSU and then flashing the Magisk zip but it didn't work. Any advice ?

You have to reflash stock boot image to get Magisk to work
Hello
I was on B180 (PRA-LX1C432) rooted with magisk
No updates available in settings/update firmware, but connecting to PC HiSuite B194 appeared (which seems to be for Honor 8 lite by the way). It downloaded it, pushed it to phe phone, but when rebooting it goes to twrp... so obviously I'm still on B180
I imagine we have to flash back stock recovery before updating ? And then twrp again, magisk flash, etc ?
Thanks !
About OTA over magisk I found that on P9 forum:
1) unroot by Magisk Uninstaller, find the download link in the post https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...63&postcount=1
2) flash from TWRP original stock boot img
3) wipe Dalwik and Cache from TWRP
3) flash from fastboot original stock recovery
4) let it make OTA update but select in the System Update settings to use Full (not differential) update - it will not delete your apps and settings
maybe the safest way indeed...
But as I "catch" the full ota, maybe I can use fastboot to flash only system and boot, and the reflash magisk to patch new boot img ?
anyone ?
Nobody updated after root ??
Ok, this is what I did and happened:
- In TWRP, flash magisk uninstaller script: ERROR 1. After reboot magisk was still here. That was a bad start...
- So I opened magisk app, click Uninstall and then Complete Uninstall. After that I made a reboot as asked, and device rebooted twice.
- Then, went to download mode and flashed stock recovery. And reboot.
- Then went to settings/updates/download latest full ota. It downloaded but refused to start the install process claiming to free up more than 900MB... Nothing on my internal sdcard so I had to uninstall some apps... cool !
- Then it reboot and installed the update
- First boot took a while, I still have "this device cannot be trusted" on start, and OEM unlock in settings is grayed and ON, so I think the bootloader is still unlocked
- Theme and wallpapers were reset with the update
For now I don't have flashed back twrp neither magisk .
In the meantime have you flashed TRWP and Migistik ? And again: do you have still to update your signature or something went wrong in installing fw B194.
Lastly: what do you mean by "went to download mode and flashed"...
Tried and tested method to update to DP4 with twrp and root working.
If you update to DP4 directly before installing twrp you will be stuck without twrp.
You need USB pendrive and otg for it.
Steps
1. Update your phone to latest available official version.
2. Boot to fastboot and install TWRP (of course you need boot loader unlocked)
3. Flash DP4 from Thumbrive (keep it in external storage only)
4. Flash Recivery TWRP.zip from thumb drive
5. Reboot recovery
5. Flash DP4 again followed by Twrp.zip
6. Reboot recovery and flash magisk and any other mods you need.
7. Reboot
If you followed every steps correctly you will have working TWRP and root on DP4.
I am using it since DP2 and never had issues.
Note. Since Q diesnt allow twrp to read internal storage you will need usb drive for flashing mod also.
I have uploaded a video with DP4 Features if you want to know about its features.
New features
1. Volte working
2. Names of themes changed
3. System UI settings changed
4. Fingerprint faster
5. Overall phone is faster now.
Removed google assistant swipe shortcut.

You need to use msm tool for reverting to stock
Or Stock reset rom for downgrade.
Then follow my steps
Is there any way to downgrade without MSM tool? I have a Mac. Local update doesn't work. Thanks for the reply.
Try MP version from DP Version package via local upgrade.
This will be available once the official thread is created by oneplus.
Or you may try DP to MP version for DP3

I was able to install twrp and magisk on dp3, i think you can do it with dp4 aswell.
I just fastboot flash boot twrp.img , it says slot a ok, slot b fail.
So i switched active slots and reboot, which boots to twrp installed on other slot. While in twrp (which cannot access data) i installed twrp through adb, switched active slot and installed twrp again. Same for magisk 19.4 installer.
After installing twrp and magisk to both slots i switched active to B and rebooted, which took me to rooted dp4.
Hope that made any sense
Oh and while in twrp, i used twrp installer (latest) to install twrp to both slots.
why do you possibly need to flash the rom and twrp TWICE? shouldn't the usual upgrade process for a rom if you are already rooted still work?
Flash the Q rom
flash twrp
reboot to recovery
flash magisk?
don't understand the reason to flash both twrp and the rom 2 times as posted in the instructions
regardless, i followed the exact steps and it didn't work for me. i boot to a plain black screen and can't get past it. any ideas?

Can you elaborate on step 2? Do we flash twrp.zip the same as the other steps? or do we flash the twrp-installer?
1. Downloaded the 9.5.11 update from Oxygen Updater (DONT REBOOT)
2. Went to Settings\System\System Update and click on the wheel on upper right corner.
3. Select Local Upgrade, then install the update (DONT REBOOT)
*DO NOT REBOOT after applying the update.
4. Remove Magisk modules that may cause problems (Call Recording is one of them)
5. Launch Magisk, and click the first "install"
6. Choose the "Install to inactive slot (OTA)" option
7. Reboot once completed
8. Download TWRP (from another location) and then go into Magisk and install it, but ***DO NOT REBOOT!!***
9. Install Magisk again. Click Install, then select "Direct Install" option.
10. Reboot
Will this work for DP4 as well????

I don't think so - what I've read on Oneplus page, when you hit restart (after installing magisk) it will reboot and during that erase all data. then reboot again to system. So you cannot restart via system updater,, you need use TWRP to flash it, so i would stick to the 1st post instructions (including 2-times install t ocover both slots). But hey, ican be wrong, you can try and let us know, it would be easier for sure
Is this the only way to get root on DP4?
Simple way
Info for TMobile gm1915 on 9.5.11
You must have magisk installed.
Update through local upgrade method and don't reboot. Then go to magisk select modules hit + and find twrp installer install twrp and then choose install magisk choose install to inactive slot. Then reboot.
Data does not get wiped but fingerprints need to be added again.
Also twrp decryption does not work so best to keep otg USB with you with whatever you may want to flash.
You don't have to flash to both slots it's not necessary but do as you wish.

Hi, I followed all the steps in OP and didnt. using latest twrp and magisk 19.3 (stable)
Now my phone is still starting its first boot about 15 minutes.
Update:
Probably the problem: installed magisk modules.
Anyway after some research default twrp is'nt mounfing local storage. The latest custom TWRP is! So no issues with USB Anymore, just use local storage like u used to do! This is actualy the only way to use the Magisk uninstaller because you need to mount data for uninstalling magisk modules.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
Anyway it took me a view hours of testing but now it works smooth! ?
So I've used TWRP r16 and it throws an "Image not signed or corrupt" error as suggested by other users I ignored it, but everytime I reboot to system and try to get to recovery "no command" show's up meaning TWRP was replaced by stock recovery all help will be appreciated.
Thanks

If you are on stock Rom, according to my knoweldge it is not possible to remove encryption, if you format your date in twrp for removing encryption then reboot to system you can see that the phone is again encrypted.
But in custom roms this doesnt happen.

You don't have to flash Magisk after flashing TWRP. The two are unrelated.
After flashing TWRP you have to boot into recovery, not system. Once TWRP was started, you can reboot into system. No need for Magisk (unless you want Magisk anyway).

It will not work in stock ROM, if you flash a custom rom there is no need to flash Magisk.
You should flash Magisk or custom kernel after flashing TWRP otherwise it will be erased.

I am using stock ROM, and yes, also Magisk (installed later). IIRC Magisk is not needed for TWRP to work. When I receive the next OTA notification, I will test this.
The thread you are referring to is for a OnePlus 3T. For our device this is the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-r7-t3694910.
Since there is no official TWRP for the Moto G5S Plus, I took the following text from the TWRP page for the Moto G5S.
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

Instead of that you can also use fastboot reboot-bootloader, and then from the bootloader start recovery.

Two days ago I received a notification for an OTA update, containing the August 2019 security patches.
After going back to stock ROM, installing all the updates up to the latest, I installed TWRP. After booting into recovery, and then into system, and recovery again, TWRP was gone. Strange, I don't remember this happening before. Maybe I always installed Magisk before booting into system.
Bottom line: you were right, I was wrong. Thanks for pointing it out.

As like you said this is the first time in my life i need to flash magisk to stick twrp.
I usualy doesn't use root or custom roms, install twrp, remove unnecessary apps from stock system, replace host files with adaway hosts, replace or edit gps config files. and continue using stock.
This is the main routine from Android 1.5
(Samsung spica (i think it was the first Android phone from Samsung)).
It may be due to security reason stock kernel or system delete twrp.
When installing magisk it patch stock boot image, that may be the reason of twrp remains after flashing magisk.
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?
