Unlocking the BL doesn't stop OTA updates until you mess with System and Vendor partition which is flashing TWRP, Magisk or a custom rom/kernel. Hope it clears your doubt.

You will receive OTA update notification, but it won't flash as you don't have stock recovery. What you can do is, you can go here (https://www.realme.com/in/support/software-update) and download the ozip file and flash it on TWRP. Make sure you have latest TWRP installed which supports ozip.

Do the same thing as before? TWRP should work now, so Magisk or supersu should be good to go.

Yes, but you'll have to flash the stock recovery and boot images from your current update (2.38.617.6) prior to taking next OTA or it simply won't update. If anything you or apps do using root to mount system as RW (or modify it), you'll have to flash stock system image prior to taking OTA as well. Best way is to restore stock system image and boot from TWRP backup then find stock recovery on forums or extract from current RUU and flash stock recovery then take OTA.
So op 5t released a new update, whenever i open the update screen it says root detected, i would lose my root privileges if I update the phone.
I wanted to know whether i would only lose my root, or entire thing of bootloader getting locked etc?
After updating will I be able to just boot into recovery and flash root file? Or whole process I would have to do again
Thanks
Updates reinstall the stock recovery. You have to flash twrp then root.

When you install an OTA it will NOT relock your bootloader, it will reinstall the stock recovery since that is included in the OTA zip and is forced installed to be sure the update installs correctly.
You will lose the root temporarily until you flash a custom recovery again and your root of choice.

Wait, really? https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips doesn't say anything about having to flash twrp again...
When an OTA is available, please go to Magisk Manager → Uninstall → Restore Images. Do not reboot immediately or you will have Magisk uninstalled. This will restore your boot (or dtbo if available) back to 100% untouched stock images in order to pass verifications. This step is required before doing any of the following steps written below!

Or does "100% stock images" mean the stock bootloader = flash twrp again?
Just to clearify, updating my phone by an OTA does not lock the bootloader but I'd have to flash twrp and magisk again..?

yee, but after you have used the OTA you will need to flash twrp again since the OTA flashes the stock recovery, or modify your boot image but that is a pain in the ass. :silly:

Means if I'd like to unroot my phone by doing nothing, this is probably the easiest way?
Hey, so I installed twrp and root aswell, and i've done what i wanted and now I feel confortable with unnistalling root and twrp. I have already unnistaled the root and want to unnistal twrp t be able to install OTA updates, considering that oreo is out on Motorola phones. Can anyone help? I also am kind of a newbie on android costumization btw.

Flash only recovery.img from stock ROM using command code: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will not work, your mobile will do a bootloop, you have to reflash the complete firmware.

It should work if
you have disabled dm-verity
This can be done either with a zip file which disables it or by flashing magisk
but obviously you will not be able to flash any ota - you will need to flash stock firmware and it is recommended to lock the bootloader just to make sure everything is back to stock

I've finally unlocked bootloader and now I have MIUI 10.0.4 with TWRP, Magisk and Pixel 3 Camera + Night Sight working! I checked and my phone have ARBV4 enabled, I'm scared of updating MIUI. I will only upgrade if the next stable update is very good, because there's a very high chance that I'll have to root again with Magisk.

does twrp official supports OTA.?
OrangeFox detects OTA Miui packages and patches them when installed, preventing the recovery from being replaced.

The new Gcam is totally worth it! It's the phone we love, but better. We don't have an official developer to our phone, but BSG (the main developer) ported the latest Gcam with Night Sight (NS) working on Android 8.1. You can take amazing photos that can't be taken with the stock camera. Here you can find the latest Gcam releases: GCAM Port
I attached some NS shots (no editing and without tripod)!

With TWRP you can't update OTA. With OF and RW you can but you lose the root. This is not a problem because you can root it again with magisk throuth OF or RW.

You'll be just fine, just if you have Magisk, make sure you have Magisk-x.x.zip in your internal storage when you do OTA update through TWRP recovery. But don't download OTA update through MIUI OS, go to the MIUI website, download latest OTA update full package, put that zip file in your internal storage as well, and lazy flasher.
Reboot into TWRP, adveced wipe, wipe Dalvik cash and cash, go back, Install - install that OTA update you downloaded earlier, again, back, install - Magisk-x.x.zip, back, install lazy flasher, but don't forget to install lazy flasher, i think it's a must. And you're updated. Good luck :good:

fastboot boot twrp.img ....(sample)

If you have MIUI 10.2.1 then no data/cache wipe using OrangeFox recovery when updated to MIUI 10.2.2. I have updated it with no issues or data loss. From MIUI 9 to MIUI 10, it may required to clear cache.

Download the full rom
I downloaded the full rom from Asus website, the update was fine just dropping it at the root of internal storage. My is a chinese converted to WW firmware/fingerprint. All working fine so far.
I wonder where the VOLTE settings are, I find strange they are making it available for some regions only. Why not just make it available to everyone in any region? I can;t get my head around why VOWIFI and VOLTE is taking so long to get sorted. My oneplus 5 had this working fine 3.5 years ago!

If you're tencent to global (converted).
-locked Bootloader
-finger print should be WW
And flash the Full ROM not OTA
my bootloader was unlocked. Fingerprint was converted to WW. Not gonna flash OTA again if i can rescue my device.
Should I lock bootloader always before doing update ? I prefer to use rooted for blocking ads and easy backup/restore for titanium backup.

Unlocked bootloader but not rooted you can update through local upgrade. If you're rooted just unroot then after update root again
Ok, flashed full rom over twrp and rooted. Everything seem's fine now. Just dont pass safetynet test.

No need to unroot to update, or remove twrp. There's a couple of options.
For all instances FULL zip is required, as far as I'm aware
1. For those of you that are only rooted: (Recommended to disable magisk modules) Download the full zip, move to root of internal storage and reboot. System will detect and prompt to update, click update. Wait until it finishes but DON'T click 'restart', instead, click 'restart later'. Go to Magisk manager. Click 'install' for Magisk. Click the last option 'install to inactive slot after OTA'. Click confirm force flash. Reboot when prompted. Done - root kept intact.
2. For those rooted with TWRP you can either; A)
- Disable all magisk modules;
- Put rom.zip, twrp installer.zip and magisk.zip on your internal storage;
or B)
If you want you can also update a stock rom from phone settings with local upgrade:
- Update the Rom WITHOUT REBOOT;
- Open Magisk Manager;
- Menu/modules/+ button/select the twrp installer.zip and flash it;
- Always in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Direct Install;
- Again in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Inactive Slot;
- Reboot.
For all instances FULL zip is required, as far as I'm aware
Thanks to @mauronofrio for A and B and for all his (or hers lol) efforts generally
