OTA after root

[vaggosgr]

Simple question. Will I be able to do OTA updates if I root and install twrp? If yes, will I need to root and install twrp again after each update?

Yes, you are able to use ota. (full roms must be flashed, os knows if you have root so it will download it.

Yes, updates will replace boot img with stock so you need to get twrp and root again. You have two options:

1. Download full rom zip (Funk has links for both stable and betas here on xda in the guides section)
2. Boot to recovery, flash full rom. (DO NOT REBOOT)
3. Flash twrp (use Blu spark latest, it always works)
4. Reboot to twrp, flash magisk.


Option two:
1. Install OTA from system, when it tells you install is complete, reboot to finish DON'T DO IT

2. Open magisk app, go to downloads and search for a/b twrp and install it ( there is only one module) after install is done DON'T REBOOT.

3. Go to main screen of magisk, press install, install, install to inactive slot (after ota) and after that install is complete, it's done.


Things to think about when updating: some Magisk modules may not be up to date when you update, this can cause bootloop. Some modules can cause system UI to force close. If you get this, use magisk uninstaller and see if you can reboot, if it works, then atleast you know it's modules.

There is also a possibility that substratum and swift installer can cause system UI force close aswell. Before install uninstall so you can install again after all is done.

Simple reply.

No, you need full roms to flash manually.
And yes, you need to reflash TWRP after each update.
