Question Root lost after official update - help? - Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

I was unlocked and rooted at Indian 12.5.2 ROM for the longest time. Got a notification for 12.5.5 and installed it. That took away root, but that was expected.
Now I've installed official TWRP, but as soon as I install Magisk (either via zip from recovery or patched twrp recovery image via the Magisk app), when I try rebooting to system, phone instead boots back to TWRP with a 'Android Rescue Party Trigger' error.
Happened every single time I've tried above - phone tries booting and then boots to recovery, and only way to boot system again is to install unpatched TWRP recovery, but then there's no root.
What should I do?

Install twrp with flashtool?

Hello, is it possible to install twrp permanently via flashtool?
I flashed twrp img with flashtool (select kernel to flash) but then my phone wasnt able to boot up, so I installed lineage os rom.
After that, I booted up to system without any problem. I restarted my phone to check the twrp recovery but I noticed that It reverted into the stock one.
I tried to install twrp via the twrp app, the app says it flashed successfully but when I boot up into recovery, my phone shows the stock one. Please help me someone.
nevermind, I managed to install twrp with rom toolbox app.

absolute cluster**** after attempting to move from 4.5.0 to 5.0

So... was tired of some miscellaneous issues with 4.5.0 (rooted w/ Magisk, TWRP recovery) and decided to finally jump to 5.0. Failed initially in TWRP (was using stock 3.1.xx), moved to the OOS internal upgrade option, and actually managed to boot into 5.0 (albeit stock recovery and no root) after that succeeded.
Powered off, connected to PC, fastboot flashed TWRP 3.1.1 blu spark, rebooted into recovery, reflashed blue spark img, flashed OnePlus3TOxygen_28_OTA_060_all_1711160447.zip (went fine AFAIK, "script succeeded, 1.0000"). Cleared Dalvik/cache, flashed SuperSU v2.82... and this is where things got weird. First, flashing SuperSU failed once at the point of compressing the ramdisk. rebooted into TWRP, tried again, and it finished without error messages. Wiped Dalvik/cache once more and rebooted. This time, I got a permanent boot where my OP3T appeared to freeze at the first OP logo on a black background and would go no further even after 10+ minutes. Swapped out my SuperSU zip with a download straight from their website, same frozen boot. Redownloaded OTA_060_all, same thing. Wiped dalvik/cache/system before each attempt, no luck.
Gave up, fastboot -w, reflashed TWRP blu spark, and now even just drying to flash the plain OTA_060 zip results in a "no OS installed" when I try to reboot. When I try to flash either Magisk v15 or SuperSU 2.82, TWRP freezes entirely in the first steps, crashes to a white notification icon, and requires a long power button hold to reboot. I am lost at this point. AFAIK, my OP3T is basically a blank, wiped slate, and I've never experienced full-on TWRP freezes while flashing before blu spark.
In the meantime, I've installed OTA_057 (4.5.1) instead, thankfully without a bootloop, but fully wiped any suggestions?
I've jumped from Nougat to Oreo too. These are my steps: while on nougat open the TWRP recovery (stock TWRP); MAKE A COMPLETE BACKUP; updated it to the latest version (3.2.1.0.- if you have it installed then there's no need for this step); complete wipe; install the OTA using USB OTG; boot to system; run the first setup; (now TWRP might got overwritten just reboot to recovery, if it reboots to TWRP great, move on, if not then reboot to system and install TWRP using ADB); reboot to TWRP recovery; flash Magisk 15 (or SuperSU, but I don't use it so I can't say if it works); flash kernel if you want; reboot to system; check if Magisk/SuperSU works and that's it. At this point I've made another complete backup just in case I skrew up something in the future. Hope I helped! Good luck!
Are you using supersu 2.82 SR5.
I had same problem with my 3T going from nougat to oreo.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yep, I believe that's exactly the version I tried I eventually just gave up after doing the complete device wipe through fastboot commands, am now running 5.0 with no problems but have the stock recovery and am not rooted :/ Now I just need to make a backup and then I can mess around and try and find a root method that doesn't basically soft brick my phone...
Even I am running OOS 5.0
The way I rooted is:
Flashed oos 5.0 using TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=27381&task=get)
Boot normally
Reboot to TWRP, flash TWRP using fastboot if you find stock recovery. Then boot to TWRP.
After you in the TWRP recovery, flash superSU 2.82 SR5
Then flash suhide (it helps you hide root from apps which are a bit finicky about root).
This works for me.
SuperSU v2.82-SR5 flashable ZIP:

suhide v1.09 flashable ZIP:

I just followed these steps coming from rooted 4.5.1 and worked perfectly.

[Q] how to update after rooting (magisk) ?

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"...

Recovery not possible after trying to flash Magisk

My phone is an Motorola 4G XT1072 Thea. Custom ROM LineageOS 14.1.
I wanted to change SuperSU with Magisk root. I therefore removed SuperSU and rebooted to recovery (TWRP) for flashing Magisk. I got an error code 1 flashing Magisk. I tried to reboot to recovery but I couldn't. It just reboots. It's like my recovery has gone. I can't even do a factory reset. I tried to reinstall TWRP through ADB but it's waiting for device forever. ADB recognizes my device. Anybody got some advice?
I managed to get my recovery back by deleting all moto drivers on windows and reinstalling them, then I could reinstall TWRP through ADB. But I still get error 1 when flashing Magisk. Is that because I need to flash a stock boot.img? If so do I then flash boot.img and thereafter Magisk.zip?
It all depends on what that "error 1" is actually about.
If you didn't restore the stock boot image after removing SuperSU, then that's a likely culprit...
If you want to know for sure you're going to have to share a recovery log with details about the error.

Help with Magisk root Pixel 2 factory Android 9.0.0 installed

Hello,
I have been struggling to root my device. I have not wiped and rooted it in some time and now coming back to it again magisk keeps breaking my device.
I have clean flashed the latest android 9.0.0 build. I have flashed TWRP custom recovery 3.3.0 successfully. I have tried to flash magisk 3 times now and afterwards my phone wont boot. I originally used magisk manager to get the latest zip and patch my boot image. I then rebooted to to bootloader and ran fast boot flash boot patched_Magisk.img. This wiped out my twrp recovery and my phone wouldn't boot, i couldn't get back into twrp recovery. I reflashed latest 9.0 build and wiped everything. I flashed twrp again and tried to flash Magisk 20.0 from recovery. It was successful but again i couldn't boot into my phone and it eventually restarted back into recovery which i still had twrp this time. I then tried it again with 19.3 and the same thing happened. can anyone tell me what is going on here? What am I missing? I have been having reflash factory 9.0 build each time just to get it to remove the patched boot image and boot up again.
Was either the TWRP version or the two check boxes it has now to install twrp app as system. Installed 3.2.3-1 and didnt install the twrp app through the recovery check boxes and it worked.
