How To Guide OTA Update process for rooted nord 2 : Any incremental Thread update Latest Feb 2022

[pankspoo]

Hi guys so Many users are facing issue while they are rooted and twrp installed on there phone.
They can't able to Flash update through stock settings OR via twrp if they tries to flash it via twrp manually facing no wifi and Bluetooth.
So here is the process to flash any incremental update via twrp just we need update zip, vbmeta image and boot image of old oos version respective to your new update means if. We are upgrading to V11 we need V10 boot img
U can use following commands to extract your current stock boot img after connecting to PC

adb shell

dd if=/dev/block/sdc49 of=/sdcard/boot.img

exit

Note: Remember this process will replace your twrp and removes root to gain root access. We need to repeat twrp installation shown in the following tutorial

SO finally I successfully rooted with TWRP and root access.thanks to all developers @Eastw1ng @TheMalachite Following are all download links combined in one post Also there are two threads like unlocking boot loader and twrp but there are some...

You can gain root acess only by flashing magisk.zip file after step no 7 given under instructions but I didn't tested it yet.

good Instructions! Reboot after flashing boot.img isnt necessary. OTA Update zip can be downloaded within OTA App in Settings (do not press reboot). After downloading you can reboot to TWRP and the file location is: /data/OTA-package/update.zip.

Yes but I don't want to go to automatic reboot and flashing process of OTA Update installation after download which may cause some issues for new users.

The old boot.img I image is the stock one not rooted right? How can you extract it from your firmware if you're not rooted? From the Nandroid backup maybe?

Edit, found out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-extract-your-boot-img-from-any-rom-adb.3760210/ Just had to google it

Just download above boot image given

Thx. OK I do that.
Magisk is installed (patched) to boot image so after OTA and Vbmeta I flash Magisk to keep root.

Download boot.img:
1) upgrade from v10 to v11(indian)

2) upgrade from v11 to v13(indian)

Do the boot.img files in the original post only work on the Indian variant? Where can I get the A11 boot.img for the European variant if I want to update to A12?

File folder on MEGA

Use boot images from stock folder

 

[NetSoerfer]

U can use following commands to extract your current stock boot img after connecting to PC

adb shell

dd if=/dev/block/sdc49 of=/sdcard/boot.img

exit

Still trying to wrap my head around this (although updating worked fine from A11 to A12 on my EEA variant, thanks @pankspoo!).

Can I actually extract a stock boot.img from a Magisk-rooted phone? Is it stock (in which case why is root removed by the update.zip) or is it modified (in which case, why can I extract it as stock)?

You can use those adb commands while booted in TWRP, without being rooted. So you'll extract the stock boot image
