Magisk will have no effect on OTA updates. You only have to restore the stock recovery prior to taking the OTA update.

If i root my phone BUT keep the stock rom, can i still receive OTA updates?
If i can get OTA updates, will it fail at any point because i am "rooted"?
How do I root?

Root but left stock = OTA update
Rooted but change any system files or install other rom = NO OTA update
[Note: You can backup rom first in CWM and go back to stock at any time you want.]
How to root = look at my signature for link
I ota updated this weekend from Eaglesblood 2.4, which is cm 2.37. I just wanted the new baseband. Now, it did wipe my phone completely stock, even erased my nv flashed cwm.

Yes, but installing a new ROM will deactivate OTA's. Either way, rooting and installing a ROM is always newer than OTA's either way.
If I root the latest stock 4.4.2, will I still be able to get future OTA Updates without braking the root or custom recovery, well if root gets lost I can always root it again. Just asking, maybe I won't be able to get OTA Updates at all after rooting but I don't know so that's why I'm asking it here.

The OTA will download but not install. You need stock recovery AND any system file that is updated by the OTA needs to be stock as well otherwise OTA install will fail.
Plenty of threads on XDA speak of this.
If you look at the OTA updater file you will see if uses MD5 (or similar) to check each system file it updates to make sure its as it was originally.
When you root it alters some system files.
Best thing is to install custom recovery and take a backup before rooted. Then root. When you get an OTA just restore backup and flash stock recovery. Then OTA will re-download. Let it install, then flash custom recovery and re-root.
Thanks, well I'll just stay unrooted and make the best out of it, the Moto G is just as amazing as Motorola developed it to be.
No stock recovery it's no need. I updated last ota with Philz recovery without problems.

Do you mean you downloaded OTA and flashed manually via recovery. You can do that I agree, but what you can't do is let OTA install naturally the way Motorola intended.
No. I had Philz recovery. System stock partition. Downloaded ota normally, reboot like ota update ask, phone reboots in philz recovery and this last flash ota automatically without any problem. There is not need to reflash stock recovery or flash ota update manually with custom rec, only need a non root stock system partition. I dont know if stock cwm or other rec like twrp work in same way but i doubt, always used only philz recovery.
You do not need stock recovery, I don't know who made this stupid rumour up. I use twrp and it flashes fine.

Hi, I'm very very new about Huawei devices, and I have a question..
I'm on build 8.0.0.120 (C432), and I can update my device to 8.0.0.130 (C432)..
I've rooted my Honor V10 with Magisk and I've TWRP recovery...
If I install this OTA update, I will lose root, or because the system partition on this device is read-only, I can update without lose anythings????
Thanks at all

Magisk has an add-on to survive OTAs, but I really don't know

I would be surprised if you can install an OTA with TWRP recovery.
To successfully apply the OTA you probably have to do something like this
Deinstall Magisk
Flash stock recovery
Apply OTA
Flash TWRP
Install Magisk

Update manager download the update but it fails to update in twrp recovery.

Can someone provide zip update package so that i can update in twrp??
You have to remove majisk
Relock boot
Then you will receive official update
Then unlock and reinstall majisk

Since when do you need to relock to install updates?

There is no need to relock.
I didnt whe 110 came out and it still updated... rooted with Magisk as well
@any_thing
Check the ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries section, there's a modified stock recovery that allows for updating w/o relocking the Bootloader.*
Once complete, put TWRP back & root, you will not lose any data/apps/etc...... as you would by simply relocking your Bootloader....
* YMMV,this modified recovery may not be compatible w/your model.

I have the BKL-L04 model & got an update notice earlier today:
While on stock rooted with TWRP & Magisk,the update downloaded & attempted to install,but,it failed.
So,just flash the stock recovery for your model & take the update w/o relocking your bootloader.
You will not lose any data from switching recoveries,at least on this phone.
(If you want to unroot 1st,that's fine,but,not necessary,flashing the modified stock recovery image unroots your phone anyway.)
After taking the update,flash the TWRP & Magisk (& Magisk Manager App,if it disappeared) as you did previously.
Just posting what worked for me,& in no way are my experiences/usage intended to contradict posts/suggestions from others,especially if they have the exact same model of phone as yours.
Hope this helps. :good:

Just install stock ram disk...
It would automatically remove twrp and root.. And u will b able to install update once updated just reflash twrp ram disk and install magisk zip to get root back..
That's how I did it on c675

No not at all... Ramdisk is a different partation
I had rooted phone with magisk installed, I received 2 updates like that - automatically lost root privileges, but I didn't receive .161 update (EIS update still not available for me?) any way to get this update?
PS my bootloader is unlocked... do I need lock it to get an update? and how to lock it?
