Updates with root?

[Kr3Ep]

Hi! I've rooted a few devices in the past, but those devices were long past their software support period. The OP6 should be still supported for at least one more year so I'm not sure if rooting is worth it if it means I lose software updates. Am I going to receive updates if I root and install magisk?

Yes.. You'll receive updates. You'll have to use full rom zip to update and you'll also lose twrp and root.

Download full update zip (1gb+)
Boot to twrp
Flash rom.zip
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk

And also: please use search, this has been answered before a few times.

I'm rooted and I take the ota updates and never lose twrp or root. This is also old news of how to do this.

So how you do it instead?

So, you're saying that recovery and boot partition got separated from ROM?

After ota downloads and installs, do not reboot, back out and go to magisk. There is a module called twrp a/b retention. You run it, don't reboot yet. Open magisk up again, hit install magisk, you will get an option to install to inactive slot after an ota. Do so and then you can reboot and profit. I've been doing this since way back. It's like forgotten knowledge I guess. I just did it with ob16.

Well duh..
So, with your install type you still download full rom over OTA (yes... It does that).

Twrp retention is needed because ROM install sets stock boot/recovery. Same answer to root. (p.s I have flashed this way aswell, lots of times, the other way is more idiot proof since people seems to want to click reboot now anyhow).

Also, the way I wrote isn't an old way really, it's A way rather

Well the way you wrote it before could confuse new people, they would just install ota and think it's all good.. Reboot and boom... No root or custom recovery. That's the reason I asked.
