Can anyone confirm this? There's a new OTA update available for mi max 2 but I'm not updating coz I'm waiting for 72 hours to complete so I can unlock bootloader. I'm kinda worried that if I update my device to miui 9.2 I might have problem unlocking my bootloader. So I'm thinking to unlock my bootloader first & then update my device thru OTA update.
I've got them but don't launch the upgrade because, if I do that, it remove my twrp by re-flashing xioami stock recovery.
I've got a global beta rom, bootloader unlocked, twrp installed and rom rooted.

oh wow, so even with all that ota updates are possible, good to know
flashing twrp isnt a big deal though, just boot into fastboot, connect to pc and input a command, thats it not like u need hours of work to get it done
would be interesting to know if the rom gets unrooted on update.

I received a phone with an unlocked bootloader. It just received V9.0.3.0.NDDMIEI
I don't know if it's just the China model reflashed with the English ROM or what, but it's definitely got an unlocked bootloader and I'm not sure why.

Am I correct in thinking that the update would have reflashed the recovery area and eliminated anything that didn't belong? I put TWRP on it and I'm going to load a stock ROM through TWRP.
I'm wondering whether I've gotten ahead of myself and I should have gone Stock ROM-->TWRP-->Stock ROM with root.
I'm also not sure if the rooted stock ROM will allow me to enable LTE bands just by changing NVRAM settings in QPST. Does anyone know if the bands are blocked in MIUI as well?
I run unlocked boot loader, global stable and Magisk.
Every OTA, I gotta reflash TWRP, and reinstall Magisk, but yeah, I can OTA.

How do you install OTA? from the updater app in the device OR full Rom in twrp?
I just use the updater app, it reboots, and then proceeds to flash and remove TWRP and Magisk.
The only time that I've used TWRP is to flash Magisk.
Just I want. I only need TWRP to flash Magisk to enable use of Titanium Backup Pro and any adsblocker.
So Flashing TWRP via fastboot, then using TWRP flash Magisk. Use mobile as usually and when i update via OTA, reflash TWRP and Magisk, true?
EDIT: After flashing Magisk, flash stock recovery via fastboot so mobile is ready to OTA update. Right?

Yeah, just choose to download the full rom press reboot and it'll upgrade, then flash TWRP and Magisk again.

so you are saying ota update through updater app is not working?
do i need mi app on pc to update,that too after downloading the full rom for every update?
status: bl UNLOCKED ,root-NO
I dont think so, if you allow replacement of twrp by stock recovery after magisk flashing i think it should be possible install ota using update app. When its done, then reflash twrp and magisk from it.

I have redmi note 11 pro (china) which it's bootloader unlocked and installed global miui rom cause with stock recovery and not rooted so will I receive OTA updates?
And is there anything I should do specifically for this case while updating the phone
Hello, I have a P10 L09C113 rebranded in L29-C432B360 and then rooted with Magisk V16 installed via TWRP 3.2.1-o by Blackball (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-t3734993)
Today I received a notification about a system update to 8.0.0.365 via OTA (about 300 MB) on system settings app.
Is it safe to accept the update?
Or do I have to flash the stock recovery first?
Or do I have to uninstall Magisk before and then to flash stock recovery?
Or ?

Exciting!
I recommend this method as it will ensure it works correctly:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-manual-updgrade-to-update-oreo-t3758286
You will indeed need the stock recovery, and this method does it all for you. Simply re-flash TWRP and Magisk after its installed and booted once. Good luck!

at the end I flashed stock recovery and used Firmware Finder App.
In this way I downloaded the firmware from system settings app and updated successfully.
Now I will flash TWRP, but I'm looking for the best one:
@Blackball that cannot decrypt /data or @espaciosalter20 that decrypt /data, but I don't know if is able to flash Magisk

TWRP 3.2.1-0 for P10 v0.1 from Pretoreiano80 works well for 8.0 ROMs (like stock firmware you have flashed.
(Blackball's is useful if you're exploring 8.1 ROMs (such as the available Treble images))

Thank you, but I read on thread:
Some of you have been reporting that mounting /system or another partitions doesn't work. I have discover that you need to decrypt data *before* to mount any other partitions.
I didn't set pin or fingerprint on my P10.
May I use this TWRP to backup and restore partition (system/boot in readonly image) and install Magisk v16?

The worst you can do is try. Seriously, backing up will not damage your system and if you see any errors then try a different TWRP version. You can flash as many of those as you like through fastboot until you find one that works for you!
Backup for sure, but flash magisk?
Could it corrupt system or data?

As of OOS 9.5.10 you can boot twrp by fastboot, then sideload twrp into both slots and finally flash magisk which patches the boot.img itself. Thus no need for patched boot.img anymore.
Does this work for the global version??
Patched boot.img is a silly way of rooting... If someone uses the wrong boot.img for their version it will fail to boot. Plus, booting TWRP and flashing the magisk zip is faster and more reliable

The only difference between the global and the EU versions are supposed to be the LTE bands.

Sorry for asking but I wanna root mine as soon as it comes. So if you install TWRP and flash with magisk the OTAs won't be broken?

I get still offered OTAs by the system. However I prefer to use Oxygen Updater app from Play Store to download it and flash directly in TWRP.

Oh cool. So like "dirty flashing". Will magisk also get killed in the proccess? I'm not sure how A/B partitions work. Do you just install magisk from twrp or do you have to somehow install it on both partitions?

I seem to have lost my root after I did the update for 9.5.11 this morning
Here is what I did
I did as stated
Download update, Install, DO NOT REBOOT
Went to Magisk, unistalled all modules, then did OTA Install
Rebooted
Went to Magisk installed TWRP, but my phone froze at that point and the screen turned all white and just sat there
So I clicked on the power button and rebooted
Got back into my phone and checked to see if I was still rooted via root checker app and now it says I AM NOT ROOTED
What can I do to fix this I can launch Magisk, but now it says its is not installed on the screen, so I click install, download the ZIP option
It says Select Method, Download ZIP ONLY which I did or Select and Patch a File which I am not sure what file I need to use?
How can I get my root back on the phones
I am on NOW on 9.5.11 GM 1917
Thanks all

If you don't need TWRP, first booting it and flashing the zip takes way longer than "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
Hello, I have a Mi 9T Pro with 10.3.3, TWRP and Magisk. I received the update to 10.4.0. As stated in the title, how could I update the system without losing the TWRP and root through Magisk? Thank you in advance

You can't. The best way to update is to download the 10.4.0 recovery ROM, then flash that in TWRP. This will still overwrite Magisk, so you will need to install that again straight after installing the update. If you don't install Magisk immediately, then booting into system would also restore stock recovery, so it needs to be done before you reboot to system.

Many thanks! In this way I could at least save the TWRP! Should I have to take some other precautions? Like deactivate all Magisk modules, perform a backup of apps ecc?

No, you can simply flash the ROM and right after that, flash Magisk. This way you won't loose twrp or Magisk.

I would just add to this that, although this is all that is required, I would still backup things, just in case.
It's always good practice when flashing things to backup what you can, even when it's not needed should things go smoothly. It only takes an absent minded moment of stupidity in TWRP to do some serious damage. As many people, myself included, can vouch for.
Thank you everyone!
I've read a lot about this, some say it's better with fastboot rom and Miflash, but twrp method with recovery seems to be easier method.
Can anybody confirm is it necessary to remove compatibility.zip file from flashable zip file before flashing?
Clean flash or dirty should work for 10.3.4.0 update?
I'm using 9T Pro (EU), rooted, stock 10.3.3.0, TWRP 3.3.1-15

Flashing a minor update is fine to do as a dirty flash in TWRP.
Doing a major update is 50/50 (going from 10.3.x to 10.4.x as it's s change from Android 9 to 10, or going from 10.x.x to 11.x.x). You may be fine, you may have issues. It might be a better option to try using the 'save data' option in the Mi Flash Tool, which is the same as a dirty flash, but will still update vendor and firmware files, should they have changed between the versions.
You might be guided by what the OTA would do. Occasionally when an OTA provides a major version change, it will perform a clean flash and give you big warnings that this will happen first. If an OTA tells you this will happen, then I would definitely use the Mi Flash Tool and use the 'clean all' option.
As for the compatibility zip, it depends on the TWRP you are using. Just try as is first and if your get an error about the wrong device, then remove it and try again.
Thanks a lot, your answers are very helpful in this thread! ?
I got the OTA update to 10.3.4.0 on my Mi 9T Pro, too, but it wouldn't install via TWRP (mauronofrios version 3.3.1-15). I also tried to flash the full 10.3.4.0 ROM (https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.4.0...EAGlobal_V10.3.4.0.PFKEUXM_964826982c_9.0.zip) with TWRP, but that didn't work either, not even after removing compatibility.zip.
I then changed my TWRP to OrangeFox Recovery 10.0_7 stable (via fastboot) and dirty flashed the full ROM via OrangeFox. That worked flawlessly, it even seems that it will be able to install future OTA updates, but that remains to be seen when the next OTA update arrives.

You need to confirm if orangefox is actually ready for OTA by checking in its settings.

Magisk will work.
@XblackdemonX I can't install Magisk since it's giving me an error message. Tried every possible way with no luck
@Turbine1991 I have tried install "twrp-3.3.1-15-raphael-mauronofrio"
After installing it the phone is always going back to Stock rom recovery.

Are you rebooting the device after installing TWRP? If you installed TWRP then rebooted without first trying to install Magisk it'll probably just stick the stock recovery back in place and overwrite TWRP if nothing is done to circumvent stock recovery overwrite. If this doesn't apply then no worries but thought I'd mention it.
That's also an old version of TWRP; have you tried a newer version? I'd say try fastboot boot recovery.img then immediately attempt to install Magisk. You're on MIUI11 so you'll want to go with Magisk 19.3.

You have to install Magisk to prevent the recovery from changing back to stock.
