Make sure to use download full package, then Before pressing reboot after it installs go to magisk and install magisk again using the install to inactive slot to preserve root

Hi, i have an acer t07 device. When I try to update my phone through ota, which is 400mb, during the installation it fails. And then i have to download again the update. Is there a way to backup or save the downloaded files so it wont download again? Without root if possible. And also, custom recovery does not still work for my last-year-released device. Thanks

If your device rooted or custom recovery installed then can't flash OTA update because of modifications in system partition. OTA check system if found any modification then OTA update abort.

As i've stated before, its not rooted, and theres no custom recovery flashed
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?
I rooted my phone and I get an update from OTA.
But it says your phone will be un-rooted.
Why does this happened? Is that normal or there is a way to update my phone without un-rooted?
Just download the update and download superuser zip
http://www.supersu.com/download
Now flash the update in twrp and after that flash superuser so root will stay

Magisk is OK just flash it right after the update
download full zip,
flash it and then flash Magisk without rebooting.
you'll lose root and custom recovery otherwise.

No, directly from System update. Oneplus will detect you are rooted and will provide you with Full OTA zip for rooted users.
->Download system OTA
->Once completed. do not restart
->Go to magisk, click install magisk
->install to inactive slot(after ota) and restart to inactive slot
->Now you are updated without loosing Magisk
(Remove substratum overlays before updating)
