Looking forward to flash this rom. The uploader tells us to use miflash to flash this .zip file.
Wanted to learn if it was safe to try installing this using TWRP and re-flash twrp and supersu afterwards, assuming that MIFlash will send the phone back to stock recovery and unroot.
Thanks

Simple ans. Try it yourself.
Safe to assume no risk of hard brick ?
There is always some risk.
What happen. ??? Did you flash it ??
Most system apps crash flashed by TWRP, the safest method would be to use Miflash tool and play around after TWRP install

I recommend using the SP FLASH TOOL method for flashing stock ROM if possible.
TO FLASH THIS STOCK FIRMWARE via SP Flash TOOL Click here
THIS is Lenovo A7000 Stock "MARSHMALLOW [Android 6.0]" OTA UPDATE.
version : A7000-a_S223_160405_ROW_WC814D6764
This method is the alternative method to the SP Flash tool.
I have tested it and it works:-
First, when I am on stock Lenovo rooted lollipop ROM(ver.S153_151127_ROW).
Secondly, it also worked when I am on marshmallow rooted ROM (ver.S223_160405_ROW).
The third time it works when I am on vibe 3.5 custom ROM [MM based] with custom kernel.
If you have a rooted device, your device will unroot after installing the update.
If your device is not rooted then also it works like a charm.
To install or flash this OTA ROM
1. You should have Lenovo stock recovery installed. Use any one between method a or b
(a)If you want you can Flash stock recovery via TWRP. Click here
(Procedure is the same as installing zip file in TWRP).
(b)Flashing stock recovery via SP flash tool. Click here
(Run spflash tool Download and unzip the package, load the scatter file and flash it in "download only" mode)
After flashing recovery immediately boot into a recovery check if the recovery is installed or not if not then flash recovery again.
2. Download the stock ROM from the Lenovo server.
DOWNLOAD LINK: click here
3. Now make the two copies of the downloaded package first one in internal storage(not in any folder).
4. Rename the package to update.zip to the one in internal storage.
5. Then Boot into recovery (Power + half a second the two volume buttons), then select English as recovery language.
6. Now select install update package. It will give some warning click yes then the update will start.
In between, you will feel that update is stuck don't worry it is updating, after update your phone will reboot automatically. (update may take 10-15 minutes)
WHATEVER YOU DO AT THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. NEITHER I NOR XDA WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IN CASE OF ANY HARDWARE/ SOFWARE DAMAGES CAUSED BY YOU TRYING THESE METHODS. YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE.
IF THIS THREAD REALLY HELPS YOU THEN PLEASE TAP THANKS.

Than i still have twrp installed.. (Tried this a long time ago..) and than i cant install the ota.. Is there a zip with the original recovery..? Retue
My recommendation usually is not to flash twrp at all. Just use fastboot boot when needed. Disadvantage is that you don't have it handy if you're not at your computer, and you need the cable any time you want to start twrp.
Original recovery is contained in the stock ROM archive. Just flash only recovery. You can take the command from any guide how to flash stock ROM. But you need the one that is delivered with your software version. That's why I recommend not to flash twrp, if you want to do OTA it can be a hassle to find the right original recovery.
When you flash the original ROM it will have the stock recovery which will bring back your ota ability. Stock recovery is flashed by, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Unfortunately, you can't flash anything that isn't signed by OnePlus through the stock recovery.

Thanks bro
no .
need to use twrp.
My phone has unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and is rooted with magisk. Got the OTA for (global) 9.5.4.0 last night - it downloads/de-crypts ok, reboots into TWRP, and then fails to flash. I also tried to flash manually via TWRP by locating the downloaded file, still fails. During the night, it rebooted itself (to try again I suppose), and my alarm didn't go off.
So here I am, late in work, wasting more "work time" to ask you for a possible solution :angel:
Go back to original miui recovery then you can update your miui successfully. After update,reflash twrp and magisk.

Sounds easy, but I don't know how to do that. Could you point me in the right direction?
you can't flash an OTA with TWRP
Flash recovery img with fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then boot your phone
settings->about phone->system update->update
it will get in origin miui recovery and update system automatically
after update finished,reflash twrp and magisk
Thank you very much @jimandy60
With all the respect though, I would prefer downloading the file from a popular location. Is there any way to find this hosted somewhere else, maybe by Xiaomi?

Hello!
I got the same problem but instead to come here and ask for help I tried to solve myself. I downloaded the lastest TWRP version and the device was not going into recovering mode. Then I installed again the previous one without results. I downloaded the TWRP app from Play Store and trying to solve I made wipe data, cache and I am not sure but I think also choose wipe system. Now my phone is stuck on the fastboot screen. Does not start. Using ADB I installed back the stck recovery but the problem remains. Somebody can help me please?
reflash the full rom?
download&unzip full rom package,get in fastboot mode and run flash_all.bat

Thanks, I'll take a look.
Help. How can I go back to stock rom if im using custom rom right now with magisk and custom kernel. Can someone teach me the process of what needs to remove before flashing the stock rom. Do I need to remove the custom kernel that I installed, magisk and twrp? Sorry for bad english. Help will be appreciated
You dont need remove nothing
Only download XiaoMiFlash, download a stock rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/ota-v9-6-4-0-odlmiff-t3823913 (Fastboot) and unzip the file, Off the device and restart in bootloader, connect to pc and flash the rom
That´s all
Best practices should be followed - always backup your settings, data, photos & documents, anything else you do NOT want to risk losing with the partitions being possibly wiped clean with a fresh stock installation - a) onto a formatted mSD card and/or b) onto a PC's stoarge/data drive(s) ... just in case.
Then, you can dirty flash stock rom without wiping data; or, for best results, wipe it for a clean, fresh install (then, restore save data once it is rebooted & running smoothly, settled down)
I guess, being lucky, running stock Pie roms, not downgrading back to Oreo stock roms as the tricky partition_A and partition_B can be confusing to newbies just starting out to learn the ADB & fastboot basics, etc. Good luck !
