Hi I have a virgin mobile Moto g6 play. I recently rooted it with magisk and installed twrp. I just got a notification that pie OTA is ready however I know it might brick if I install the OTA. What is the best way to go about installing it. Do I have to manually reflash stock Oreo in order to update or is there another way? Thanks for your help.

Uses the Lenovo Moto Assistant. Remembering that the G6 Play stock rom will be installed on your device. That way, there will be no more root (however you can install later) and the memory will be formatted

Just reflash stock firmware and don't root. You cannot install updates from ota once you root

I just downloaded the full pie firmware from mirrors, flashed with RSDlite (servicefile). Rebooted bootloader, flashed TWRP. Boot to TWRP, flash encryption disabler and magisk.
Still unencrypted, all is well.
