I want to root my xt 1775 while keep using stock rom , and keep the ability of future update . it. seems even twrp nand backup /restore stock rom caused somebody no boot , so i am thinking doing below steps . is it safe ?
1. unlock bootloader
2. use fastboot to load twrp (but not flash twrp , so stock recovery is still there )
3, in twrp , flash supersu or magisk.
4, reboot . now i have stock recovery and rom with root .
5, if next ota comes just update regularly . --this is my main concern , will ota work flawlessly since its rooted ?
6, if ota update successfully in step 5, i know root will be lost . but i can redo from step 2 to root again .
is there any potential risk in above steps ?

Yes. #3. Flash NoVerity_opt-encrypt.zip before magisk.zip to prevent stock issues.
If you try to update will Rooted in stock, you'll brick it. Reinstall 100% stock FW (Firmware) via fastboot before ya do any stock updates. At all

NoVerity_opt-encrypt.zip is only needed when using stock rom? or always needed even for 3rd party roms?
flashing no dm verity zip isn't necessary if you use magisk, it should work with latest version of magis, because, magisk now have the necessaries changes of no dm verity

Hi,
Problem starting oneplus 3, let me explain.
1) purchased oneplus3, 4 months ago.
2) Rooted,updated oxygen 3.2.8 with TWRP recovery3021 and super SU 2.74-2
3) updated oxygen4.00 with twrp32128 and super SU 2.79SR2 everything was fine.
4) Received OTA update through VPN for oxygen 4.0.1 (30mb), installed but unable start instead it was always going into twrp mode.
5) i changed twrp recovery back to 3021 and install stock oxygen 3.2.8,was working fine.
6) Now i wanted to UNROOT the device and back to stock so that i can get OTA Oxygen 4 and 4.0.1.
7) i followed steps below,
a) downloaded oxygen 3.2.1 and stock recovery.img
a) fastbootloader, and connect device.
b) fastboot devices
c) fastboot fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
d) fastboot oem lock - when i used this command and accept YES, screen got black and no further instruction for ADBsideload.
8) i used to restart the device in recovery but black screen, fastboot loader working.
FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT NAME - ....
VARIANT - MTP UFS
BOOTLOADER VERSION -
BASEBAND VERSION -
SERIAL NUMBER - .....
SECURE BOOT - enabled
DEVICE STATE - locked
9) and if i start the device in normal it asked for screen pattern lock but my existing unlock pattern doesnt work.
10) by using all the chance for screen pattern unlock it showed DECRYPTION UNSUCCESSFULL, clicked on RESET PHONE but again screen black in recovery mode.
11) NOW if i start my device it again shows DECRYPTION UNSUCCESSFULL and asking for RESET PHONE......
What to do now.....
regards,
Zahir

Device is back to stock, this method is used by One plus asstance for unbrick hard bricked device by remote control your PC. Then device is back to completly stock. No root no custom recovery etc. You Can now use OTA for update or using adb sideload or manually flash the entire ROM from sdcard. Thank you for appreciate :good:

just wanted to highlight the things you did that caused the issue
1- flashing the stock rom through twrp, it's possible specially with the latest TWR0-11 but not advisable, you better always flash stock recovery and then sideload rom (full rom not update) and then fast boot TWRP back and reflash root... any other method always causes issues...
2- the 30mg updates do not work on a rooted device
3- unrooting without immediately sideloading rom will always cause the black screen and loop to recovery, it's not required to unroot unless you want to go back to full stock experience...
4- this the biggest problem you made, you relocked the devices bootloader, you also did it while the device has a lot of issues (some mentioned above) so the device bricked instantly, if you are planning on unlocking the device again ...NEVER NEVER relock the device again , there's no need to do that , all you need to do to go back to a full stock experience is to wipe everything in TWRP , flash stock recovery then wipe everything again from there, then sideload full rom (latest stable version) , then for good majors in the new rom recovery wipe everything agian and boot to system and from system do a factory reset. then recharge your device to 100% and re encrypt it if it's not...after that you're 100% on a full stock exerience and will receive ota and it'll work... and at that state only (without root or TWRP) you can relock the bootloader (which is gain not necessary at all, there's no benefit to it)
I have received an OTA update for may Nova Plus from B332 to B341
here is the "dataversion.txt" file:
"ro.confg.hw_userdataversion=MLA-L11C185B341_DATA_MLA-L11_hw_meafnaf"
My phone is rooted and i have a TWRP recovery 3.2.1.0
the update contains 3 files ( update_data_public.zip, update.zip and update_MLA-L11_hw_meafnaf.zip )
Can i install updates with TWRP, or i have to go back to stock recovery ?
Now i'm uploading "update_MLA-L11_hw_meafnaf.zip" to mega, and i thing it's a patch file for Cust meaf and Naf Region
for MLA-L11 ( I will post link for who update fail to use it, but on your only risk )

I don't think it will work with twrp, but you can try if you want.
And what root method you have there? If it is a systemless one, it will somesort of persist, but probably you will have to apply it again, as your boot.img will be modified. If it isn't a systemless one, then you must remove root first

Hi all, I have an honor 7x (obviously) BND-L21 running EMUI 5.1 and Android Nougat. I have used a guide (which i am sure was from here) to unlock my bootloader and root the phone using twrp a while ago.
I have now noticed there is an OTA update to EMUI 8 and Android Oreo.
My questions are these...
I have downloaded the OTA update and tried to install it only to be taken every time to TWRP. After reading up on this i can see this is obvious but none the less i cant update my phone via this method.
I have copied the files downloaded from the update, (namely update_data_full_public.zip, update_full_BND-L21c_hw_eu.zip and update.zip) to my SD card.
So... 1) can i just flash the above zips using twrp and then reroot again with twrp and be on the latest firmware.
2) if not this method then do i have to remove twrp and then update to then put twrp back on again and root etc.
3) if anyone knows what i should be doing to update without bricking my phone then i apologise but i havent seen the correct thread on this. (seen many indian variants or others i'm not sure are applicable to my device)
Thanks for anything you guys can help with..
You need stock recovery for emui update. Flash stock recovery update. Then flash twrp of you need to root
download multi tool 8 for honor 7x
connect it
go to recovery section
install stock recovery
then u can install oreo update
Hey all!
Since the OTA of November is out, I wanted to know if Pixel 2 users know how to flash OTA zip files through TWRP (since it should be the same between the two phones).
From what I saw, it seems like it is possible to flash the Google OTA zip directly under TWRP without any modifications. However, it is necessary to flash TWRP after the update (after reboot of the phone) so that it applies to boot a and boot b (if you flash after OTA update, it will only apply on boot b?).
Is this true or is there a new way so that you can keep TWRP and root without using the PC?
Thanks!
.
The last I read ( yesterday . . . ) TWRP 's zip is not working / sticking_a_round . . . . so you need your pc and a happy ADP to do the magic with the TWRP image file. I can be patient. The dev's have a life and don't need our nagging them . . .

Hi guys, I just bought RN8 and I updated miui to the latest version ( miui 11 global stable ) , so if I want to install twrp and root my device (after unlocking bootloader) I assume the steps are :
1) flash TWRP
2) do a factory reset
3) flash magisk
and DONE ??
I saw on some sites and forums that I need to flash dm-verity-forceencrypt before flashing the magisk.... and on other ones that I need to flash the magisk and lastly the dm zip ???? (ffs) is it a necessary step in order to gain (permanent) root access to flash this dm zip or are the previously mentioned steps enough to gain it ? and btw for what purpose do I assume that I need to flash the ( dm zip ) ???
another question : if I format data after flashing twrp(which removes decryption) ,will I lose the ability to set new password and fingerprint for my device ? and which recovery is better twrp or Orangefox , and is there an orangefox version for redmi note 8 ?
ps 1: I had to sumbit here cause I couldn't submit in the development section I hope my post doesn't get deleted : /
ps 2: Sorry if I asked alot but my last phone was running android 5 and I had it for many years so I was living in the wild (wasn't rly interested in phones till now)
after unlock bootloader i have boot the twrp recovery (not flashed) and install magisk
thats all.
After this miui 11 arrived as updated and flash failed, reboot phone download full rom update and flash are ok
reboot twrp and reflash magisk.
No lose any data file and have phone update.
Flash twrp only when more modded rom for me.
Sorry for my english bye
