Enough said. You need stock recovery to do OTA.

Try to locate OTA file and flash it manually

You won't lose root if you have stock recovery.
Do you even have a stock recovery? If so, just place it inside the adb folder, open the command prompt change directory to adb folder, boot into bootloader mode and type fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img The same way you probably got custom recovery onto the device.
Won't lose root because of stock recovery. You'll lose root because of the OTA though, but even then it's easy enough to regain root. You can then either flash back the custom recovery OR boot the custom recovery. I'd suggesting booting the custom recovery that way you can make a nandroid backup of the updated system before you flash anything again.
fastboot boot custom_recovery_name.img If you're using TWRP then it probably won't make a backup of the stock recovery, CWM/Philz will work better for the nandroid. After you made a backup(If you choose to make a backup, again strongly suggested) then you can flash a custom recovery again.

Update from 3.2.7 to 4.1

Hey guys. I am still on marshmallow on my op3. I am rooted and have twrp recovery. My question is what firmware/modem do I need to flash before I update to latest Nougat update and if my steps below are correct.
I would prefer not to do a clean install.
My steps would be:
Download full rom
Flash any firmware if required - this is what I need to know
Flash Magisk as I need root
Profit?

this is stock rom, you don't need to flash any firmware...
if you're coming from MM, i would recommend sideloading the rom, wipe everything, then go back to stock recovery then sideload then before 1st boot fastboot TWRP again, then reboot to TWRP and flash Magisk...Profit.
if you want to flash from TWRP without going through this (which i don't recommend), make sure in TWRP to format data as f2fs, wipe everything then flash the rom, and then form TWRP flash TWRP again, then reboot to recovery (not system), then flash Magisk.

Thanks a ton for replying. Another question for you. I get the OTA notification. I could just let that run and flash twrp after the installation right.

if you're already rooted it wont install..and you can't flash the small ota file from TWRP, you have to flash the Full rom (1.4 GB)...
how you download is up to you, but why download from the update when there's many links available around !

Thanks for all the help. I flashed the new update successfully.

Unable to encrypt after root

Hi everyone.
I had a issue and i really want help
I had unlock the OEM,and after installing the twrp and format data (to remove the forced encrypt), i had flash the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt zip file.
Okay, after that i have restarted the device and configure as my away to use, after that, booted on recovery again and flashed the magisk.
But i wanna encrypt my device, and when i go to configs->security and encrypt area, says that my device its not encrypted. Okay, i followed the steps and when i gonna try to encrypt the device, the process start and... some seconds after, the phone just restart and nothing has done.
The onlys changes that i have made on system is: root and flashed a splash.img(without that stupid warning of unlocked bootloader)
I really want to encrypt my device, so, if i get stolen, the thief wont get my user data.
Can anyone help me?

Flash the stock rom and and don't flash the encryption disabler next time. You don't need to install TWRP to flash Magisk either, you can just boot it and then flash Magisk. Also you don't even need TWRP, you can just follow the guide in the forum to install Magisk by booting the magisk patched boot.img for your version of the stock ROM and then install Magisk manually via Magisk Manager.
TL;DR : Flash stock ROM and do the same things except flashing dm-verity-disabler, you don't need that for Magisk or TWRP.

Sir, i really need twrp now, its there any way i can enable encrypt after rooting the device? (to sure that, if gets stolen, the data need to be wipped out or the password must be given on twrp)
Same issue, i tried to encrypt on security menu,reboot and nothing was done.
@edit
Better, without TWRP, i can flash other zips via magisk/stock recovery?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, do you want to have TWRP + stock encryption?
If so you can just boot TWRP and flash the TWRP installer package (.zip) inside TWRP to do that. And you don't need to change anything, currently I have TWRP installed and encryption enabled on my Stock ROM.
But if you're trying to get TWRP's own encryption, sadly that doesn't work.
You can also use TWRP without flashing/installing it, just go to the directory TWRP is stored in, open a command line, connect your phone and boot it with this command :
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
then flash whatever you'd like.
DO NOT lock your bootloader after you flash something on TWRP, this will most probably brick the device.

I want to stick with the stock rom rooted, with the twrp installed and the user data encrypted
So i can flash things through TWRP even i have encrypt enabled?
@edit
dont worry about bootloader, i will keep unlocked

It's perfectly fine to have TWRP and/or Magisk and encryption using stock ROM.
Flash stock ROM (erase user data)
Install TWRP
install Magisk
Don't flash the encryption Disabler. As its name implies, it disables the automatic encryption of the userdata partition.

Question How can reinstall stock ROM over TWRP recovery?

Hello.
How can I please reinstall the stock rom via TWRP recovery without data loss, or how can I reinstall it via the Miflash tool?
I have a bootloop and would like to try reinstalling rom. Thanks

basically what u can do is flash stock rom using mi flash tool. ensure that down to the bottom u click save user data. and i think u should be fine flashing the stock rom and preserving your data in that sense. after flashing wait and let the device reboot for itself it usually takes a couple mins

I have already managed to boot into the system, in TWRP Recovery I wipe dalvik.
But I need root and I must to patch the boot.img again via Magisk. And then I must flash patched boot.img via ADB back to the mobile, but I'm afraid I'll go back to the bootloop.
Any other options to do root or avoid bootloop?
Thanks

Stupid question but did you extracted boot.img before or after update? Maybe you flashed patched boot.img from previous update to last update? That would cause bootloop

It's not a stupid question.
The update was displayed on my phone, downloaded, installed, restarted and booted into the system, everything is fine.
Then I had to download the update manually from the Internet and extract the boot.img. and I then patched it via Magisk and flashed it back to the mobile via ADB, and then a bootloop occurred.

basically to root its just best to flash the official magisk zip via twrp. it patches the boot img during the process. and u wont get bootloop

Question TWRP, Full OOS etc. Stuck without OS... please HELP

So I wanted to switch from OOS 11 to 13.
I was unl;ocked, rooted with magisk installed.
Updated to c47 and flashed magisk. all good.
Then flashed TWRP and tried flashing the full OOS c64 I downloaded.
The flashing failed and now I have no OS since I wiped before flashing as recommended.
At the past with previous devices I just flashed TWRP, flashed the ROM, reflashed TWRP and was done with it.
How can I recover my phone now? All of the data is backed up (contacts, apps, photos) so it's not a big deal if I lose all my data.
Currently I'm at TWRP
PLEASE HELP ME

Also when trying to activate sideload, TWRP is stuck on 'starting ADB sideload feature' and nothing happens, adb devices command doesn't recognize the phone and I have a red warning 'unable to decrypt FBE device'

Not sure but I think the problem was installing twrp, as far as I know it does not support installation, just start without installing like, (Fastboot boot twrp.img)
Why didn't you follow all the updates without inventing fashion?
Just download the complete package of the update and does the manual update, does not restart the phone, go in magisk, click install and mark the third option, which is to install after full Ota.

I don't think TWRP even support flashing OOS.

@N1ldo cause I wanted Android 13 and the OTA failed to update from C47 to C61.
Also I thought that my past experience with flashing the Oneplus 6 will still be relevant, which obviously isn't apparently...
Gonna try to follow the MSM guide.
But for the future, assuming I will succeed in restoring via MSM, what should I do in order to gain root?
1. MSM
2. re-unlock the bootloaded
3. Flash magisk via fastboot
That's it? did I get this right?

nope, you boot twrp-3.7.0-12.1 via fastboot (fastboot boot twrp.img) and there you can install magisk. if normal installation doesn't work, try using sideload. if you plan on flashing the twrp installer zip, do it before flashing magisk as it patches your current boot image.

great. and I can do it regardless of the oos I'm running right? I wouldn't ask that question under normal circumstances but after today, better safe than sorry

should work as I described. if you want to be 101% safe, just boot the twrp, but if I remember correctly, the installer should work on oos 13. if you want, you can extract the payload.bin of your current oos so you have the stock boot.img and vendor_boot.img in case anything goes wrong. you can find the exact description here.

Thanks, And one last question, if I'll unlock the bootloader now that I've installed all of the updates up to android 13, it will erase all the data but not the updates, right?

Never mind, it works, after the updates I unlocked the bootloader, patched the boot image, booted from it and installed magisk. I now have root.
Thanks all for helping me out!
