Updating rooted Google Pixel from Oreo to Pie? - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Hey.
I have a Google Pixel running on Oreo (8.1.0) rooted with Magisk. Earlier today i got the OTA for android Pie (9.0).
Can anyone help me out by providing steps as to what do i need to do in order to update to android 9? Do i unroot and install OTA update or simply flash the update package from the recovery?
Edit : My bootloader is unlocked (ofcourse) and i have TWRP recovery.
Thanks

Sideload the OTA file following the instructions here:
https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Keep in mind that you will lose root and TWRP. You'll have to repeat the procedure to (boot from and) install TWRP, then install Magisk, as you did before.
Let us know if you have further questions.

I have a Verizon pixel unrooted lock but on NDE63V. How do I get npf26j?

my verizon some how has the playstore rom NDE63V and not the X like most verizon models. How do I apply the newest update OTA?
Download the OTA and sideload it through the stock recovery with a computer. Reboot. Done.
There are a ton of guides online showing you how to sideload an OTA. It's fairly easy, the hardest part is usually just making sure you have your adb drivers installed.
I used the AndroidCentral guide here: https://www.google.com/amp/amp.androidcentral.com/how-manually-upgrade-your-nexus
If I already have TWRP (bootloader unlocked through depixel8) and am rooted, will flashing the zip through TWRP simply apply an update and let me keep TWRP and my previous data?
Edit: Read up a bit more. Seems like you'll need to be on 63V and then sideload the update (not through TWRP).

C567 Oreo Update with TWRP?

Hi everyone,
I got about halfway through the rooting process with my unlocked Mate 9 (unlocked boot loader, installed TWRP) but didn't end up rooting or installing any roms because for some reason backup is not working with TWRP.
I have received the Oreo OTA update but cannot install it OTA because of TWRP; is there any way to either 1. return to the stock boot loader and install OTA update or 2. install Oreo with TWRP? Thanks!

Should I install OTA update or not

Hi everyone, I currently have a mate 9 with Oreo 8.0.0 installed with an unlocked bootloader, TWRP and rooted with SuperSU..
I just got a notification that there is an update pending. My current build number is mha-l29 8.0.0.360(c567). The update in question is mha-l29 8.0.0.367(c567). Should I accept the install? What will happen to my root and TWRP? Thanks
it won't install on TWRP. you can revert to stock recovery or install through HWOTA8 where you will also loose root and TWRP but not data...

latest update, root magisk guide help

Hello,
I have a Honor 8 FRD-L09 8.0.0.521 (C432), I rooted it on previous version, but I don't remenber exactly why but I was blockedat TWRP step, so I could'nt root.
Now it's a stock unroot.
I would like to updated to latest firmware possible, root with magisk and reinstall everything back the easiest possible.
What is the latest version I could install?
I am a bit rusty, Is there a good tutorial around?
Thanks
just boot up twrp and flash the latest magisk zip, if you dont have the magisk manager installed after that just download it from the same thread and install it.
if you cant flash twrp to your device, make sure your bootloader is unlocked and try again
Ok thanks, usual procedure, I will try it, and come back here's, thanks

TWRP on Android 10

After recently bricking my Oneplus 6 by trying to flash the latest TWRP on the latest Android 10 OTA from Oxygen Updater, I found a post from official TWRP explaining how root with a10 will take a while to implement due to changes that Google has made to their partitions.
So I guess for anyone trying this out on their own, be warned. You will probably end up bricking your device like I did and will probably end up having a bad time.
Please correct me if i'm wrong though, peace!
Edit: can confirm fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-11-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img from the other popular post is working!
If you already have a working TWRP on OOS 9 you should be fine as long as you flash a working TWRP afterwards. Blu_spark TWRP 9.101 is compatible (please not 9.101 no earlier version will work).
Also don't use Magisk 20 only 20.1.
There is already a pre-patched version out there. You can fastboot flash it (as fastboot boot doesn't work). An easier way (without a pre-patched version) is currently being worked one as you pointed out already
just updated to a10
boot into twrp, flash new bluspark twrp
flash FULL ota a10 image
reflash twrp
reboot into twrp
boot into system
boot back to twrp
install magisk 20.1

Which build did u use mate? R108 is not working with android 9, I tried flashing it using my older installed twrp.
It says unsupported android version. And in github r108 says only for android 10.
r108 is the kernel not twrp
https://github.com/engstk/android_device_oneplus_enchilada/releases/tag/v9.107

I can confirm that this is working for me. I successfully upgraded from Android 9, Oxygen OS 9.0.9 to Android 10, Oxygen OS 10. Steps that I followed :
1) Flashed new twrp from link in the above post by akri1337 using my previously installed twrp : bluspark 9.85.
2) Flashed Oxygen OS 10 full update and added to queue latest bluspark twrp which I flashed in step one as it would be overwritten by flashing the full OTA update.
3) Rebooted into recovery again to switch to active slot.
4) Flashed Magisk 20.2 to regain root.
This process successfully upgraded my Oneplus 6 without any data loss.
Please note that I disabled all magisk modules just to be safe before starting the upgrade process but didn't uninstall magisk. I was on Magisk 20.2 earlier.
Hope this helps everyone.

Which magisk? Ver 20.1 ?
Why is it that I get an error when trying to flash the full OTA update using TWRP? Something about error 7 and not have a digest file. Is there a full OTA update file that everyone is using? I tried the signed full zip from here on XDA and the one from Oxygen Updater. I get the same error with both.

Still confused as to how everyone else can flash these zip files through TWRP and I cannot.
I'm currently Magisk rooted and have TWRP installed. Will I lose root and TWRP when updating through the local upgrade method?

Yes, you will need to flash twrp with adb and going through the hole process of installing twrp and magisk, but for me its not worked well, after first boot to Android Q with magisk 20.1 and granting some apps root access when I rebooted the phone its not booting to system and going to bootloader, I think its related to some problem with magisk 20.1.
