So, I rooted my phone, for which I needed to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. Now, when I want to install an update on my phone, it downloads and when I want to install it, it jumps to TWRP recovery instead of the phone's recovery, so I can't update my phone. Does anyone know how can I install the updates from TWRP?

Else, reinstall the default recovery. (Only the recovery, not the entire OS since that would un-root my phone)

Thanks.

Edit: After it boots to TWRP, it apparently tries to install the update, since I can see it on the log, but when I reboot my phone it has not installed. It errors: "E3994: This package is for "2169B" devices; this is a "". Updater process ended with ERROR: 1. Error installing zip file '/data/ota_package/OTA/.otaPackage/my_manifest_RMX3370_11.F.04_3040_202302282047.44.36402b59_all.zip'

Edit 2: After failing to install it, it prompts me to re-download it and re-install it, but it jumped from ~500MB update to 4.76GB update.

I read in telegram channels, this twrp: https://www.pling.com/p/1922292 support installation latest zip. but I haven't tried.

one more thing you can do is ( may loose data)
1. restore twrp backup for recovery partition ( if you don't have backup. search recovery.img in upgrade zip )
2. reboot to recovery to check stock recovery is installed
3. install update
4. then follow steps to install twrp and magisk ( root again )

Your guide is incorrect and will definitely put the device into bootloop.

** The twrp link that you shared doesn't allow system updates to install, it is just a A13 compatable twrp recovery.

1) What if that person has not created any twrp backup of all system partitions? According to his explanation, I'm pretty sure he has not created any backup of the partitions.

2) only flashing recovery image and installing the update will again put the device into bootloop because as confirmed by the OP that his device is rooted and due to root the boot image of the device gets modified so it will put the device into bootloop.

3) unless the OP has stock boot and recovery images at his disposal he should not attempt to install the update to avoid bootloop.

** Kindly avoid sharing incorrect information you aren't sure about the correct procedure.

procedure that I follow to flash updates :

1) in magisk - uninstall magisk - restore images

2) boot device into bootloader and flash stock boot and recovery.

3) boot device and install update.

4) put device again in bootloader and flash twrp and within twrp flash magisk and reboot.

I haven't found any easier way than this. If anyone has, kindly put it below.

Recetly I succesfully updated my Realme GT Neo 2 5G via TWRP recovery, the latest version support OTA.
Attention! After update TWPR and Magisk gone. Just reflash twrp and flash magisk normally. No need to reflash modules etc. (Just update from settings, no need to manually flash ota package from TWRP)
