Updatet my rooted OOS over the Air, now I haven't TWRP and SuperSu

[m4l4g4]

Hi There,

I've the Problem that I havent't TWRP-Recovery and SuperSu after Updating to OOS 4.1.1 and Android 7.1.1.
Do someone know if i had to flash TWRP with qiping all Data? Or is there a Way to Flash TWRP and SuperSu without wiping? =(

Sorry I'm new to Android and started with the oneplus 3t. So i didn't know that i hadn't to update the Phone.

Or is the best opinion for me to choose a custom rom? But there are so much, i don't know what to choose.

Thanks for help! =)

Neither TWRP nor SuperSU will wipe anything.

It's totally up to you whether you need a custom ROM or not. If you want features like switching tracks just with your volume keys, you'll totally need a custom ROM since stock ones don't provide this feature. But this is just one example of many.

Hm okay, cause when I got my one plus I flashed trwp and had to wipe everything, cause of the encryption or something like that.

I'll try my best today evening, hopefully nothing will go wrong :-O

What do I need to center the clock?

I'll flash trwp and supersu and anything to center the clock today evening.

Don't know if I need a custom rom, are there reason for a custom rom?

Thank you so much!

If you need help with anything, just ask.

I never had to wipe anything. I just wipe the phone when I want to remove the encryption.

EDIT: regular security patches is one big reason for me to install a custom ROM.

Thanks, I'll ask my questions

But why did the update delete trwp and supersu?

I was happy with OOS but missed the future of centering the clock.

May I ask which custom rom you use?

Updates remove SuperSU because they essentially flash over all non-user partitions (everything except /data, where your files, settings and user apps are stored). To root the OS, SuperSU installs its files in the /boot partition, which gets overwritten during ROM flashes. Root gets deleted any time you flash any mod (including most custom ROMs, since they also replace /boot). The only exception to this is if you flash a custom ROM that comes pre-rooted.

TWRP does not get deleted immediately during flashing, but rather when you first boot up afterwards. OOS will attempt to replace any custom recovery with the stock recovery when it first boots up after updating. You can get around this by either flashing TWRP again, or rooting immediately after flashing a ROM update, before you reboot (flash ROM, wipe cache/delvik, flash root, reboot). Most custom ROMs will not replace your custom recovery.

There's a few threads containing OPSystemUI.apk mods in the Themes, Apps and Mod section, though most of them also contain a bunch of other graphical modifications. If you only want to center your clock and nothing else, it can be achieved by modding OPSystemUI.apk yourself, though there is a bit of a learning curve to it.

You are mixing things up a bit but don't worry, I'll explain.

You need to unlock the bootloader first, and that always wipes your data for security reasons. So if your phone is stolen, the thief won't be able to access your data by installing TWRP or a custom rom. After unlocking you install TWRP (custom recovery), and use it to flash stuff. (roms, mods, etc)
After that you only lose data if you (or a rom) mess things up, and your data becomes unaccessible, or you relock your bootloader for whatever reason. That's why you should always backup to a computer before doing major flashing/upgrades, etc.
If you upgrade the rom you'll lose root and/or TWRP, but you can flash it again as explained by others.

Hi there,

so I've flashed TWRP and SuperSu again. You are all right, i haven't to wipe anything. I really mixed up things. But now everything is working for me.
Okay, i have to learn how to get my OPSystemUI.apk modify it and flash it back?
I will seach the threads and learn.
