guys just an FYI, because i didn't know about this and is possible that other people also dont know, but i have android Q installed and im rooted and have TWRP installed, and just now i have updated from the beta 2 to the beta 3 eventho i have TWRP and rooted, android Q does not install updates thru recovery, it does that from the updater itself so it does not requite stock recovery anymore and it does not matter if you are rooted or not, this is owesome.

it does work, you just have to flash twrp and magisk again.
TWRP failed to decrypt and also failed to mount /sysyem and /vendor when trying to flash TWRP or Magisk again.

I was using TWRP 3.3.0.0 and Magisk 19.1
PIN locked, unlocked and relocked again TWRP still error.
This also happens with Official Pie May updates.

The magisk still can be used from previous pie installation, however I can not modifiy system or data folder.

im not getting that error, i have installed mods like always on, and magisk modules like youtubevanced with no issues, when prompted for password i just hit cancell and i can do anything after that, just making sure im doing it on B partition.

It also happens when trying to flash TWRP and magisk on stock may updates.

You may check some workarounds here:

Yes Magisk still works, and I still can install any modules without any issue from this OTA. However I can not R/W system or data folder.

I guess it is TWRP issue.

you must do the following comand to gain storage access on Q, sm set-isolated-storage off

if on pc using adb it would be:
adb shell sm set-isolated-storage off

that enables storage access.

Is it possible to root android q beta 3 if manually flashed by downloading the full image?

---------- Post added at 02:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 AM ----------

it enables system and data access, vendor is only needed for Rom flashing, and it does writes vendor if you flash another rom.
Can you make another thread step by step how to root properly OGP adnroid q beta 3 please?
