Will Update with OTA brick my phone ? - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

First of all i'm running official global rom on global variant. 11.0.6.0(PGGMIXM)
I have TWRP installed from the following post https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8-pro/how-to/recovery-twrp-recovery-redmi-note-8-pro-t4033695.
Now there's a system update 11.0.4.0QGGMIXM | STABLE 2.0G.
If i aply this update will this brick my phone or not ?
Edit:
1* The update 11.0.4.0QGGMIXM | STABLE 2.0G. did not brick the phone. But you will need to flash the TWRP file again from the post "v1210 for Android 10". Follow directions from post when flashing. You will then have Magisk en Root again.
2* For the update 11.0.5.0QGGMIXM | STABLE 2.0G. I did the same in edit *1

I came here to ask the same question as I am in the same condition as you. I would ask one more question:
I downloaded the OTA as a zip file. Could I flash it on TWRP? Wouldn't it case a soft brick or bootloop?

No it wont,i just did an update with twrp and its working perfectly,
if the update fails ( mine did) after restart it will ask you to download the full rom its 2gb,download that and update it

you did the Update?, did it work for you?.

can anyone confirm this?
i also have 11.0.6.0 android 9 global with twrp and magisk.so if i update it to 11.0.5.0 android 10 via ota update,will it brick the phone or no chance.
thanks

just as a rule of thumb any modification to the device will leade to problems via OTA. always manually update when you have a modified phone.

I'll go like this if I were you:
1. Unroot, uninstall magisk. Better search first if you dont know how.
2. Flash android 9 via fastboot then OTA.
Or
Flash android 9 via fastboot, restart then flash android 10 via fastboot too.
Remember: NEVER RELOCK YOUR BOOT LOADER when flashing via fastboot
Then twrp, root, etc..

i got it already on a10

Did you do OTA directly from your custom ROM?

i was on 11.0.6.0 android 9 stock rom.from there i flashed 11.0.5.0 rom with miui flash tool.

Replace the recovery to stock recovery and relock the bootloader. If you installed the modified firmware, reflash the stock firmware, you will be good

how to replace recovery with the stock one. Where I can find it.
Do i lose all my application data doing so.
No, I am using the stock firmware, so I suppose no need to reflash it.

Here you should find the stock recoveries: http://www.andromods.com/download-files/htc-one-m8-stock-recovery-verizon-sprint-att-tmobile.html
download the right recovery.img file and follow these instruction on how to flash - http://androiding.how/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-via-fastboot/ - in this just change the twrp recovery.img to the one you downloaded and run the code in command prompt.
It is recommended to do I clean install to avoid any further reported errors. Once you relock the bootloader you will lose all the data (like hard reset).

Thanks again for the info.
Unfortunately, I could not find the right stock recovery in the link you provided, so I use another one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860.
However, I have to ask, if I am on stock firmware; only rooted through SuperSU and with TWRP recovery,
do I need to reinstall (reflash) or restore to sotck firmware as in steps # 7 to 9 in the post (link) I added, or
can I directly flash the stock recovery and then relock the bootloder and start downloading the update 6.0
Thank.

First thing .. you cannot do OTA with a rooted stock ROM, you need a non-rooted ROM.
Secondly .. there is no need to relock bootloader - read the note in my thread.
Just read again post #1 and follow all the 14 steps, you should be fine.
Anything, you can ask in my thread as I'm not following your thread.

Global OTA 9.5.4.0 + TWRP = fail

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

Can a global rom with twrp and rooted be updated thru ota?

I've unlocked bootloader of my chinese redmi note 5 pro and flashed a global rom on it then updated to global v9.6.3.0, after that I installed twrp thru adb and root with magisk. Now, will I be able to update this to a new global version thru ota?
No. You can not

Is there a workaround to do so?
You can comeback to recovery stock or download update file to storage , boot to twrp then flash update zip. After update , masgik will not work

So the official update zip will work on twrp? I thought it's not possible on a custom recovery. Anyway I'll try that, thanks.
Work fine. But if you flash full rom , not update pack, all data will be earse , mi recovery comeback.

Install Global ROM, Revert Stock Recovery afterwards

Good Day all,
I was wondering, is it possible to revert to the stock recovery after installing the Global ROM on the mi mix 3 China Version?
Reason I am wondering is because when I/We receive a OTA update from Xiaomi while using the Global ROM, will the phone be able to update or will it just freak out on me/us and die?
Currently I am waiting for my Bootloader to be unlocked (ETA 70HRS), I have all files necessary files downloaded (TWRP, Global ROM, Magisk v17.1)
Help/Advice would be appreciated :good:
Kind Regards

I find you very helpful in the forum and I would like to ask you few questions, I am thinking about buying the device but only chinese version is available here and I cant wait for the global to arrive
my questions are:
1- global version only released with 6GB RAM , if I got chinese version with 8GB , will it be able to run the global ROM ?
2- I have never flashed a ROM before , but I have strong knowledge in linux and command lines, will this be a hard task for me to do ? is it risky to brick the device ?
3- After flashing the Global ROM , will I receive official OTA updates directly from xaiomi without any problems ?

1. Yes no problem, I'm on 8GB model and worked fine
2. Really hard to hard brick, soft brick possible but easily fixable via fastboot to flash new system, boot etc
3. I believe so, not tested as there isn't a 2nd global update out?

After ! have put the Global ROM on the phone, i want to:
1. revert the recovery back to stock
2. un-root

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Only relock the bootloader on the ROM base it came with. So if your phone came with the Chinese ROM do not relock bootloader with global. If you do it's goodbye phone
Stock ROM will install stock recovery once phone has booted up

You'd have to use the Xiaomi EU rom with or without magisk as the global ROM has a CTS mismatch so won't pass safety net.

No, flashing the ROM will keep TWRP installed as it's a custom miui ROM.
OTA works and will automatically flash the update via TWRP for you.

Just a quick update for you all that I have successfully, unlocked the Bootloader and installed the ROM.
Just a quick note to mention that after you do:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_perseus.img
DO NOT put in the command:
fastboot boot TWRP_perseus.img
After flashing TWRP just take your phone (either connected or disconnected from PC) and hold vol up and power. It will reboot in TWRP.
I tried rebooting into the recovery using the above command line and it just rebooted into MIUI Recovery.
Hope this helps :good:
GAPPS

Oh sorry for misunderstanding. Download fastboot rom, extract it, and flash recovery.img via platform-tools(command to flash "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img").
