Would it be possible to flash the stock rom, root it with magisk and still receive OTAs? With TWRP recovery installed.

No OTA with twrp

OTA are possibile even with TWRP.
But since Magisk overwrite the kernel partition, the installation works only with full rom packages.

Download and flash the full 3.2.4 rom, supersu and xposed. Your xposed modules/settings should still be there.
You may loose custom recovery. In this case you'll have to re flash it. Then flash su and Xposed.
if OOS notices you're rooted it'll automatically download the full zip to flash (1.3gb) and when you flash it you'll lose xposed and root but you just need to reflash those zips to get them back. The OTA will flash fine in twrp w/o replacing twrp.
If you want to use the incremental zips in the future then before you flash anything. Take a boot, system image, and EFS backup in TWRP (system IMAGE is important and you need official OP3 twrp to do it.) After you have that backup then flash to your heart's content. When an update rolls around grab the incremental zip from that thread here on XDA. Restore your backup and then flash the update, take a new backup for the next update and flash all your things again.
I have never rooted my OP3 and got this update. I'm now getting this after this update:

I installed TWRP from blu_spark and magisk the first day my 5T arrived.
Now there is the official TWRP and an OOS update.
How do I go ahead to flash the real TWRP and update OOS without wiping all my data? And do I have to re-flash Magisk?
Thanks for your help.
just flash OOS, magisk and then the official twrp .... done

In that order I won't lose any files?
And can I just use the OTA or Incremental zip or do I have to download and flash the full zip?
And since I am already on it, can I just flash a custom kernel afterwards without losing data?

Full zip.
No data loss.
Kernel is fine.
1. flash the official twrp image using blu_spark
2. flash the full OTA zip from official twrp
3. flash magisk
Just to add to the original question (and my case is with official TWRP), an Oxygen OS update notification just popped today.
I have read at multiple places that incremental zips don't work with custom recoveries.
Just wanted to confirm: even though the update notification pops-up, I cannot (am not supposed to) update the phone with the OTA, can I?
Hi I'm in Oreo 5.0.3 and I need a custom recovery and don't want the root.. I was rooted earlier using Magisk 15.3. Today morning I un-installed magisk using Magisk uninstaller.. after uninstalling it, twrp also gone.. is it mandatory to root to have custom recovery?
Or is there any other way?

Unless you have root, custom recoveries will always be replaced with the official recovery after every reboot.
While I won't say it is impossible in theory, currently all stock rom has recovery built in and they will replace the recovery if not rooted.
Perhaps somebody can strip off the recovery part from the stock rom?
I would like to get to the point where I'm able to OTAs instead of manually flashing factory images but I'm not passing safety net when I uninstall magisk and reinstall it when the update reaches step 2. I'm not sure what is causing the update to fail. I recently switched from system root via supersu (obviously wouldn't pass safety net) to systemless root with magisk. I'm running 8.1 feb. security update with the following apps installed: adaway, busybox, CF. Lumen, greenify, magisk manager, & titanium backup. (rootless substratum & andromeda as well).
I do not have TWRP installed, I only boot to it to flash magisk and kept TWRP systemless. The purpose for this post I guess is to try understand which of the installed apps listed may affect the /system files. I was under the impression that since i now root systemlessly I would be able to accept OTAs. What am I missing here?
As far as I know you cannot be rooted and/or have a custom recovery. You can have a unlocked bootloader but you have to be stock in order to receive OTAs.
I really don't get the problem. Just flash full ota file via TWRP and then flash again magisk and twrp again.
With TWRP, flashing full OTA files is a breeze... I think incremental otas can be done in the same way, but better to flash full ota files...

......... you can flash full OTAs from TWRP?? I knew I was missing something.
So download the full OTA to internal storage. flash in TWRP. then magisk and if i choose not to install TWRP (i usually only boot to it), I'm done?

Wait, doesn't flashing the full OTA get rid of TWRP?
Do you have instructions how to install full images without TWRP being uninstalled?
Also... How do you get ota to install if the original bootloader is replaced by twrp? I thought installing twrp permanently voids the possibility to install ota...!
I rooted my phone and I get an update from OTA.
But it says your phone will be un-rooted.
Why does this happened? Is that normal or there is a way to update my phone without un-rooted?
Just download the update and download superuser zip
http://www.supersu.com/download
Now flash the update in twrp and after that flash superuser so root will stay

Magisk is OK just flash it right after the update
download full zip,
flash it and then flash Magisk without rebooting.
you'll lose root and custom recovery otherwise.
