Hello everybody,

I'm little outdated on Android things, so please excuse my stupid questions. But I want to be sure my process is OK.

I was on LOS 16.1 / TWRP / superSU and updated to 17.1 / LOS recovery / Magisk. After a LOS Update I noticed that I have no more root. I wanted to install Magisk root again via recovery and noticed I can't do that from LOS recovery. Is that normal?

To get back root my plan is to flash again TWRP (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261695823), so I am again able to flash the magisk zip. Will this process keep my data an ROM as it is before? Is there any disadvantage? LOS recommends the LOS recovery. That's because I installed it...

Thanks a lot for your help!

what is your current setup? as long as you have OEM unlock,unlocked boot loader., you can just flash TWRP via ADB followed by magisk in general

Hello and thanks for your answer. Yes, it's OEM unlocked and unlocked boot loader. It's encrypted. But encryption shouldn't be a problem for that.
