OTA Update Question - HTC U11 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I hava a U11 with Stock ROM but I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP recovery so I could root the phone via Magisk. The Device is still S-ON.
Yesterday it showed an OTA Update is ready for download, version 2.33.401.19.
Can I apply this update or will it brick my phone because I´m with a custom recovery ?
Can someone tell me the right way to apply the OTA update ?
best regards,
Mister.Knister

I'am 100% sure it will either not update or brick your phone. Do not apply the update!

You can unroot and update via OTA but when you have a unlocked bootloader OTA's are always risky.
Just download latest ROM for your phone and flash it, instruction are also given and is pretty easy and safe.

No. Just start flashing according to the instruction. Root is a system level thing and does not interrupt in flashing. You have to root again after flashing unless it is a pre-rooted rom.
But as you are upgrading first flash stock motorola rom whichever is latest.

Ok thanks... So just to be sure (sorry im just a noob xD)
I download lastet ROM from my phone.
I flash it with TWRP?
Phone will be formated and all apps will be deleted rigth?
Will be like a phone with stock data?
I Downloaded lastest room from my phone, its 750MB.
And one last question, if i use the option to "Restore fabric configuration" is the same as installing a ROM?
Thanks again and sorry for all the questions

Look you can do flashing and upgrading in more than one way.
Just follow this link and do exactly what it says: If you have any question PM me, I will gladly help.
Also by flashing this way your recovery will be replaced by stock recovery and you have to reflash TWRP.
Your phone will be completely stock and all data will be erased.
Note:
Read very carefully before doing anything.
Also download correct rom for your device. The model no. should match.

Recevied an update with rooted phone, is it safe to update ?

I'm currently on NXT-29C185B190 and I received update with NXT-29C185B1200, my phone is unlocked and rooted, I have flash fire installed and it recognized that update was downloaded.
My question is flash fire have big red huawei device warning, saying Huawei device is very easy to hard brick (also my mate 8 is my first locked bootloader phone) so is it safe to use flash fire ? or install update throught huawei system without losing root ?

Is this an EMUI update through the standard update menu in settings - updater?
The version seems a bit odd to me, the last update for C185 was B320, I wouldn't expect an official update to jump as high as that. Mind uploading a screenshot?
Anyway, as for actually updating, as long as you are running stock recovery (not TWRP) then it shouldn't be an issue. Just know that you WILL lose root after updating. And I'd strongly suggest making a data backup before the update.

Thanks for the help, I tried to user flash fire to keep my root but it failed to update, now I really think rooting huawei phone is more trouble than it worth as for what you said is version is typo
I'm currently on B190 and I got update to B200.
and yes the update is standard update from system updater
I have twrp installed so that means I can't update at all ?
Plz i want to know how to return to the normal situation after root and unlock bootloader in order to receibe update without problem

Well if you unlocked bootlader and rooted, it safe to say that you have TWRP installed, fire up SRKToolHuawei choose (2)install recovery then install stock recovery after that it reboots and then update using system updater from huawei.
PS: You will lose your root access and new to install TWRP then root again.

He probably just wanted a reconfirmation that it really works. I'm wondering the same Btw, because rooting for me normally means also to have a modified system folder by busybox or AdAway and all my previous phones did not allow to simply use an OTA file.
Would you be so kind and elaborate more? Thanks a lot!

Every time when update is coming you have to flash stock boot and recovery (current version).
Because, rooting process changed boot. And to get root you installed TWRP (custom recovery) before.
You don't need relock bootloader only, cause update will do it self (in most cases).
Finally, you have to unlock bootloader and get root again.

You will only lose root and xpose. Theres a thread in here about the twrp for emui 5. Start from that if you want root again xpose included.

In my experience the only solution to this is to backup data, then if possible, use firmware updater (can downloadn in playstore) then download the b360 update with the Full ota-mf-pv tag. Flash it using dload method. About thw dload method search the honor 6x threads cause i dont use it. I did not encounter this problem when updating

if you don't have a custom recovery installed and are not rooted with supersu or magisk, you should receive the ota ok.

It's uk sim unlocked. How I can see if I have custom recovery and if it's rooted or not. I ask because I didn't do the unlock myself and I don't have knowledge of that staff.

Hmm.
Power down the phone.
Press volume up & power until fastboot screen appears then let go.
Use the volume keys to select boot to recovery. If twrp shows up you have custom recovery.
Install a root Checker from the play store and run it. You should do this first before booting in to recovery.
Thanks very much.
Oreo isnt available for the eu wwe (401). If you can get the ruu of the software your phone is currently on (1.27.401.12) then you can just flash that when the update comes and the update will be available to download. Flashing the same software version just removes root and custom recovery, making the phone stock.
