Update a rooted 3aXL to Android 11

[boominski]

Sorry if this has been asked before (I couldn't find anything) but is it possible to upgrade a rooted 3aXL to Android 11? Or do I need to un-root, upgrade and try a fresh root on A11? Thanks.

Download the full image for Android 11 then use either the flash-all.bat file (will do a factory format so beware) or adb sideload it.

Going to a new version of Android it's always recommended to factory format.

Either way you will need to re-root after using magisk canary

This is pretty much what I thought. So there's no way to keep root then :crying:

Cheer up @boominsko you act like you loose root permanently. After updating just do the patch boot.img thing. Make sure to use the latest Magisk Canary. Also make sure to switch to canary channel.

Haha! Yeah, it's not so bad. Just a bit of a pain in the backside to fiddle around with files and ADB etc. Oh well. Thanks for the advice though!

You have to redo root even after security patches every month. This is no different
