Installing OTA update while rooted (Magisk) and with TWRP recovery

I'm on the stock ROM (Build number: OPNS27.76-12-22-3), rooted via Magisk and have the latest TWRP as my recovery. Say, an OTA update arrives (hopefully) in the future, could I just sideload it from my computer via adb? I know that downloading the file and installing it using the phone won't work as I'm on TWRP (it requires stock recovery). Erfan Abdi's website allows the download of the OTA zip from Moto's servers if one wants to sideload it via adb (https://erfanoabdi.000webhostapp.com/). If not, how can I apply the OTA update?

no you can't apply the ota with a custom recovery as you made changes on partitions that ota.zip check if has some changes and i believe twrp is not ready to aply ota in any way because every manufacture has a way to make changes by ota so its almost impossible to made a generic way to apply ota to all the devices that twrp suports

So I should flash the stock recovery back and then sideload the OTA?

flash stock, take the ota's via ota, and then mod system. At least that's what I do. pita but it works. I back up with TBPro and copy backup to PC (ota clears internal storage) before I do that so rebuild is pretty quick.

my last smartphone is just uninstall magisk and flash stock recovery to aply ota, but i never tried this on moto z play, so you should do a clean install of stock rom first, because i can't say with sure if it's gonna work as my last devices stops update on marshmallow , and magisk that i used on this phone is older

I just did an uninstall latest magisk uninstall and pogo doesn't work, so it's not clean, so will need to flash stock.

there some things that have be analised here, first when you unistall magisk, the safetynet verification is gonna fail, and pogo can broke, and pogo is especially case, the pogo app checks storage to see if has some folder related magisk, that in most cases are left there to backup. and the ota check partition if you change something ota fails too.
stock ota is horrible to install if you have some changes in the device, so in almost all case, especialy if don't have advanced knowledge about all android work, the recomended is reflash system in same version that you are, and after this update.

a) right. what I said. uninstall magisk is dirty - it doesn't clean everything up..
b) I could suggest TBPro to back up your system. Then be sure to copy that backup to your PC because flashing the stock will wipe internal storage. Then flash stock. Then use TBPro to restore stuff. At least that's sortof what I do.

what i did to update to latest security patch:
- flash uninstall magisk zip
- flash stock recovery
- take official ota
- reflash f2fs fix and magisk

August security patch is out so I tried these steps.
It didn't work. While I sideloaded the update through adb, it showed that the system was modified and that it was mounted as R/W 40 times, also showing the most recent date and time that it happened. Keep in mind, I flashed the Magisk and Xposed uninstallers and cleared Dalvik and cache before the attempt to sideload.
I just flashed the original June build (omitting the 'fastboot erase userdata' command to save myself from a potential pain in the ass) and then did I proceed to sideload the update via adb. After that, I flashed the latest TWRP and rooted using the latest Magisk (and f2fs fix as well). My data is intact (except for the root modifications and Magisk modules) but that is miles better than starting from scratch off a factory data reset.
I guess I answered my own question, then . You can't

Do you have an idea how to easily display if system is modified (when, how often etc.)? I'd like to know if OTA could succeed after restoring boot partition for some Moto X Play and Moto Z Play with installed Magisk.

Nope, sorry. Though, I failed to mention that I did flash the original boot.img after encountering the error and tried again. You guessed it, it still failed. Maybe try flashing both boot and oem to see if it would work?

OnePlus 8 Pro version 10.5.6 updates

OnePlus 8 Pro IN11AA OxygenOS v10.5.6 just dropped.

Im updating now. Thanks

Just updated. Two updates in one day. Unfortunately didnt fixed the problem with video recording lag.

If you're rooted, did you retained root without issues with Magisk?

The phone is not rooted (if you asked me )

If you do a local upgrade, i guess the phone automatically restarts at the end of the process. So... How to flash magisk to the inactive slot before restart the phone?

The phone will not reboot if you do local in place upgrade from the setting menu. After the upgrade goto Magisk and flash to the inactive slot then reboot.

Is the downloadable update available somewhere to do a local upgrade?

Does anyone have the firmware so that I can download it. I need to root my phone. Since the firmware is too new I can't find it anywhere.

Shoot, that was easy. As I've said, this is my first OnePlus device, and updating and keeping root with this was even easier than my Pixel.

You can either download it from system update or use the Oxygen Updater app from the Play store. once you have the file, it will be located on your phone root user storage. You can now do an upgrade. If you were already rooted with Magisk, it will download the full update image and you can retain root by flashing Magisk to the unused slot.

Did it all on my phone. Went to settings>system>system updates and selected download & install. After it downloaded, I rebooted my phone to stop the install. Then I used Root Explorer to move the OTA to the root file and installed it with local update option. Then installed Magisk to the opposite slot as previously posted by Poloasis.

Hello,
im New to the Oneplus and i have an Question... must i Install the Downloaded Image and after that, flashing Magisk to the inactive Slot, or must i Flash ist direct after the OTA Update?
Sorry für my Bad Englisch and thanks Form Helling

Could anyone share a boot image for 10.5.6? I can't find a boot image anywhere and need root. Thanks so much!

Can't really find any info online about the different model numbers yet, so I take it the iN2020 is the global version?

We don't have twrp yet on 8 Pro, so no you can't. You can update using local update from settings, just move it to root folder of internal memory, go to update app, local update, select downloaded file and let it do its job. If you want to retain root, after update don't reboot your phone, go to magisk manager and install it to unused partition, then reboot.

Question OTA OOS 1.2.3.3 AA Boot Image Needed

Just curious if anybody has been able to get the boot image from the incremental update of OOS 1.2.3.3 AA from Magisk ?
I recently got the boot image for 1.2.2 AA from someone using magisk so just wondering if anybody has gotten the latest.

oos 11.2.3.3 AA boot.img，you can patch it in magisk 22.0, then flash it via fastboot.

how did you get the image? You lose root after updating, since you need a stock boot image to update, and global is not updated on the website

Im pretty sure he was able to get it through magisk and installing an inactive slot to the latest OOS. and then got the stock boot image of 1.2.3.3 but i could be wrong lol

For what it is worth, I ended up not needing this, this time. I was able to use Magisk's Uninstall/Restore function and install the OTA. This OTA did not force a reboot, so I was able to go back into Magisk and reinstall to active and inactive slots before rebooting and all was good.

I did something similar, which is to restore the image in magisk manager, which requires a reboot to take effect. And after rebooting, I lost root, however, the update worked.
How am I suppose to reinstall magisk after that?

All you have to do is update to the latest os and then download the boot image that's in this post and then go into magisk
And select file and patch
then move it to your pc
flash the patched boot image.
and then go into magisk and direct install

Yes, the image provided sure works. But I want to figure out how you can get the boot image yourself.
I tried to set my active slot to the inactive one, but I get nothing and it just reboot to the previous slot after a while.

Something is weird with the process this time, IMO... so after the OTA installs, I use Magisk to install to both the current and inactive slot.

Great information and useful site.

Hey guys, just to be sure.
Would I be on the right track for installing OTA 11.2.3.3LE15AA on 11.2.2.2LE15AA OP9P AA:
Place OTA 11.2.3.3LE15AA on root storage
Fastboot boot 11.2.3.3 "Root lost"
Install local upgrade of OTA 11.2.3.3LE15AA no reboot
Magisk patch Direct Install then Magisk patch inactive slot, reboot.
Can anyone let me know.
Tx guys!

My question is how did someone get the boot.img from the OTA 11.2.3.3AA? I tried 3 different payload dumper and none extract the images.

Installed C.44 EU over C.38 EU using local update app, latest Magisk Alpha, and keep root using the Magisk OTA option before rebooting after the update.
No need to unroot to upgrade

i went from c.39 to c.40 the day before yesterday. i used mlgmxyysd's tool to flash c39's stock images to the device then updated through the updater.
found the flashed boot image, flashed it (just like the old way, fastboot flash boot.img).
i then installed c.44 ota, went to magisk, installed it to the inactive slot, rebooted, and it ran fine.
with magisk alpha, you don't need the toolbox anymore (i believe)

Anyone have problem with haptics on c44? Haptics feedback is just missing on some menu actions.

Looks like an issue with work profile. Work apps such as MS Teams forces closed and an 'IT doesn't allow multiple users' toast notification pops up. Dang!

Question OnePlus 9 pro rooted won't update

Hello there...
I am very disappointed with my oneplus.. lots of problems but the worst is that it won't update. I used oxygen updater and have the LE2123_11.C.47 version installed... It doesn't find the C.48 version. System update indicates that this version is available but I always get a message "installation problem". Have tried everything that I can think of...
Support wants me to send them the phone (which I cannot afford as I really need to be using my phone every day) after suggesting a procedure with GoogleOTARepair that didn't work... Possibly because my phone is rooted?
I asked them to send me the update so I can manualy install... they won't.
So I really need you in order to update... preferably without having to factory reset..
Thank you in advance

You need the full rom file to upgrade when rooted. And there is no EU C.48 file.
What you can do is:
1 open magisk
2. Deinstall magisk
3. Hit restore image
4. Don't reboot
5. Take the system OTA to C.48
6. Don't reboot
7. Go back to magisk and install to inactive slot.
8. Reboot

Then you need to extract the boot.img of your version, move it to your phone, select it in Magisk, flash it.

Thank you all for your input. Everything is fine now... I rooted again following instructions on the site and everything is fine...
It's weird though because in the past I had managed to update without problems several times. The only thing I did to keep my root was not rebooting, Magisk, install on inactive slot, reboot.
Anyway, all is well now, thank you again!

New upgrade same procedure, worked fine ;-). Got a bit scared as phone appeared bricked for several minutes but everything went smoothly...

As no Full upgrade package is available, i suppose that's also the reason why Oxygene does not show an update available?
Thanks
