Are you stuck at asus splash screen or twrp?

After entering

In some custom recoveries there are options to apply OTA via custom recovery. Example Red Wolf and PBRP for Zenfone Max Pro M2

It's TWRP. Applying OTA update overwrite some files and root and twrp will break

I Have Updated TWRP touch is fixed now

I have put decryption.zip and magisk.zip inside twrp image.
Now no need of a otg and usb,
just
flash twrp, go to recovery
flash those two files which will be available from inside twrp.
enjoy root etc.
