Unlock bootloader, flash twrp to recovery partition and flash Magisk file in recovery.

hi all
assuming that i've flashed TWRP + rooted the phone
will i still be able to update the phone via OTA updates?
as this does not work on samsung phones once KNOX is tripped
i was wondering if it would be the same on oneplus devices
your input is appreciated. thanks!

Short answer: No. Custom recovery can't process the OTA update. There's another thread talking about this topic here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/help/root-update-ota-t3712615
If you want the latest updates Funk Wizard usually posts their full zips (not small OTA zips) on XDA (just search in the 5T section) and OnePlus usually has them under the device support page.
I've not tried it myself but I heard once you root and go to software update section oneplus will detect your root and instead will download a full OTA zip which you can then dirty flash in your custom recovery (TWRP) without any issues. of course the flash will remove root and then you will need to flash root zip file to gain root again.
Well, actually I downloaded latest OTA (4.7.4) over wifi and then updated phone while rooted and with custom recovery (oficial 3.2.0 I think). And it worked! I lost root in the process (I rooted again later), but otherwise phone was updated and it was done via custom recovery. So far, I don't have any problems, but not sure if any problems will come later.

wow for real?
so if you're rooted. it will not download small zips of OTA but instead the full sized OTA?
then we can choose to flash in TWRP instead?
Hi I'm in Oreo 5.0.3 and I need a custom recovery and don't want the root.. I was rooted earlier using Magisk 15.3. Today morning I un-installed magisk using Magisk uninstaller.. after uninstalling it, twrp also gone.. is it mandatory to root to have custom recovery?
Or is there any other way?

Unless you have root, custom recoveries will always be replaced with the official recovery after every reboot.
While I won't say it is impossible in theory, currently all stock rom has recovery built in and they will replace the recovery if not rooted.
Perhaps somebody can strip off the recovery part from the stock rom?
Hi everyone
Sorry I am confused; there does not seem to be an ultimate universal root / twrp installation guide for the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite phone (my son's phone) in 2019.
No offense intended but all these various posts on the topic just help to confuse people!
I managed to unlock the bootloader but can anybody please tell me what is the easiest / user-friendliest way to install twrp (which version?) and root the phone so that I may proceed with flashing LineageOS afterwards to get rid of all the bloatware.?
what about these partitions A & B?
Thanks a lot in advance
https://github.com/tkchn/daisyinstall/blob/master/README.md
This is the guide youre looking for
@barumbads: Thank YOU!
[EDIT] er... this is for flashing a custom rom!
I did some extra research out of XDA
[Guide] How to root Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite
and
How To Root Mi A2 / A2 Lite (Magisk) and Install TWRP Recovery
but again... confusing! which one should I go for?
(I already tried the later one and created another post following an issue with it!)

It depends on what you want to do.
Root doesnt need TWRP, just Magisk. There's a guide on here.
Flashing custom ROMs needs TWRP. Each custom ROM has specific instructions.
There's no one-size-fits-all solution for this phone.

Hi @a1291762 & thanks.
This is what I am saying it is confusing; I have been thru a few phones (samsungs, LGs, lately Xiaomi...)
and the process was first install twrp then root and then you could flash roms
I know when you flash LineageOS, you get root included in dev options so from your explanations I will look how to flash LineageOS but currently I'm struggling installing twrp as you have seen in my other post

My last phone didn't have A/B or encryption or use Magisk for rooting... So for me everything about this phone was new and different.
I started with stock (android one means I didn't immediately want a custom ROM). Then added Magisk. I added TWRP after edxposed caused me bootloops (magisk manager CLI can run from TWRP). I haven't installed a custom ROM yet but I've got a custom splash and bootanim.
Hey, I've been trying to root my OPPO A12 for the past few days. I tried almost every method I found on different websites, but it seems not possible to root this phone. I even tried to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP (I found out later that there's no custom recovery compatible with this device) but I can't load into fastboot mode. Pls tell me if rooting CPH2083 is possible or not, if yes I'd appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
Please root my oppo a12

I did'nt tried because there is no profit of doing that as there is no custom rom or custom recovery for it you can only install magisk modules and voiding your warranty . I would port a custom recovery and then we can install a gsi im in the process of doing it

Rooting means gaining full acess on your phone and you do that for a specific reason and most of the reason is installing custom rom and if there is no custom rom then there is no profit.
And magisk is an app by which you can root your phone and install modules like viper4android which increases sound quality and other modules like that .
I would recommend not to root the phone. You can root after there is a custom recovery or rom

oppo a12 bootloader can be unlocked with the hydra tool. A new update comes from the hydra tool which claims that they can unlock the bootloader of oppo a12. You can see this by this latest update
Has anyone tried the hydra tool on an oppo device? I am looking into it. I hate my oppo because of the missing bootloader.
Sorry. XDA messed up. I did not want to post twice.

Hello,
I want to update my phone, but it's rooted with Magisk. I know I can download the update and patch the new image with Magisk but, what I do not know is if I can flash the new patched image via TWRP ?
Is Odin the ONLY way or would TWRP do the exact same job ?
Thanks
