Hi guys, is there any way to "uninstall" a pre-installed system update?? Currently at OS 5.1.11 but idk what happened suddenly it says "system update (OS 9.0.2) is installed, please reboot". So the last thing I want is to reboot, since I WILL lose my root, and afraid that my TWRP version not compatible for Android P. THANKS!
QUESTIONS
1) IF I were to reboot into recovery, make a backup and install that backup, will that help? Will the update be installed once I reboot into recovery or not? IF I am not mistaken, the updates are only applied when you reboot into the system., but I'm not sure now.
2) I already have a backup of my system but that is months ago. Would I be able to make a complete backup of today's sytem without applying the installed update?
3) Any other way to remove the pre-installed system update besides rebooting into recovery to do a factory reset and restore system settings?
4) Do I need to reinstall TWRP and MAGISK before applying the backup/system restore?
Thanks in advanced!

If you are rooted then update will not get install; you need to flash full package through twrp
If you dont want to update to pie then flash oos5.1.11 full package through twrp use bluspark twrp
Suggestion: update to pie build

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I think the update WILL be installed after a reboot. And I don't want that, which is why I am avoiding any sort of reboot atm.

Update WILL NOT installed if you have pached boot image
You can flash oos 5.1.11 or 9.0.2 directly through twrp but use only blu_spark twrp
If you have installed magisk then go to magisk manager select uninstall then restore image after select install magisk second slot after ota

So I unlocked by Bootloader and Rooted my OP6, the question I have is will the OTA updates be installed without any problems or will I have to install it manually?
Also when I install twrp (I have not installed yet) how will I need to update my phone through OTA?
Sorry if this is a noob question because the last time I rooted and flashed roms the software support was over so I never had any OTA updates.
Thanks
It will download the update but it most probably will download the Full 1.4GB ZIP
Meaning it will install the full rom and not the small update package.
It will install normally to the other slot and after reboot you should be updated.
This should work just fine with TWRP because it updates your other slot within Android, not in recovery.
After update, reboot phone, then reboot to TWRP and install Magisk!
I updated while being rooted and TWRP installed. Just download the update, then reflash twrp and root and everything works fine.
So if u want update your system but don't need TWRP you can just download OTA with system updater and install it.
If you want magisk don't reboot! Open magisk and press install and install to second slot. Then reboot. You will have an updated system with working magisk!

So the only hitch to get an official incremental OTA update, is the root? Unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed doesn't cause any trouble?
If you just remove the root and then check for the update, evrything gonna be fine, am I right?
But how does it work this "slot a" "slot b"? What does it mean? After an update will your OP6 get 2 roms in the same time? The new and the previous? What happen after an update and the reboot? Have you to delete the old rom?
Thx for the patience...

I didn't even remove root. I can't explain you how this a and b is working. but what I know is, that every OTA is change the partition. And no u won't have 2 systems.

If your current system runs for example on slot "a" the update will be installed on slot "b "...the slot that you currently not using

Yes, I'm not sure if you will keep TWRP.
But you can always reinstall TWRP and then reflash Magisk

If I'm not wrong, on a rooted device OTA installs a full rom. On a not-rooted phone OTA installs just the incremental update.
I only unlocked the bootloader to prepare for TRWP and root (So no TWRP and root yet) and it tells me it will download full update.

I guess it recognizes the unlocked bootloader and then it always downloads and installs full update.
Why would you unlock your bootloader and then don't root :laugh:

Because I was not sure I wanted root again there are always apps that even with Magisk hide won't work.
But just to make sure I prepared by unlocking bootloader so if I decide to go for TWRP and root my data and storage won't get wiped which would mean starting all over again and losing app-data.
So, if I update from a ROM rooted with TWRP, will not the user data be deleted? Should we just root again and install the TWRP?
I had rooted 5.1.5 with TWRP and Magisk. I just downloaded the full package, copied it to phone storage. Then went to system update, update locally, picked the file and it ran the update.
However after reboot and update complete I lost TWRP and root. So I went to fastboot, booted the official TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img). Then flashed the official TWRP and Magisk for root, rebooted and all was good again.
I'm pretty sure there's an easier way of doing this but this worked for me.

In theory, with the Oxygen Updater application you can install the OTA and Magisk in 1 step.

Yeah probably but it has a lot of mixed reviews and this takes me 10 minutes more or so oh well. I'll rather do it like this It's not like we get a new update every week
maybe to help you all
me: 5.1.5, unlocked bootloader, unofficial TWRP from thread by wuxianlin, magisk 16.4
my procedure was to change to official twrp which can be done easily by
downloading the twrp installer from official site, put to internal storage
flash twrp official installer
still in recovery, select reboot: recovery
flash magisk
boot system
now download full 5.1.6 signed flashable zip
recovery: flash 5.1.6
reflash recovery
reboot recovery
flash magisk
boot system
now you have rooted 5.1.6 with official twrp and magisk, no wipe needed
Hello guys, first Sry for my bad English...
I have an wired idea but I don't know it's Funktion or not because of that I quest you guys and hope that anybody have experience with these.
How anybody who use magisk know, you can hide your root to apps and system too, when I hide the root to system update then he only want to download an ~300 MB update (actually installed version: 1.5.6 because the problem in 1.5.7/8 (original os and no twrp installed)). Also it is possible to update my system at these way and I have root after the update or what can happen?
Your Patrick

To keep root with an update, you need to flash the full update in TWRP, reflash TWRP, reboot recovery then reflash root. Otherwise, you will need to do the steps all over again every time you update to get root back.

Thanx
Thanks for the fast answer
Also what I have to do now is:
1. Download the actual OS
2. Change recovery with twrp
Reboot recover
3. Flash OS with twrp (first full clean?)
4. Flash twrp
5. Reboot to recovery and flash magisk
Did I lose at these way my data? Or did I do here an dirty flash? When yes what data recovery tool do you recommend? Titanium?
And after these, I can update my device per OTA updates and I don't lose my root?

You can install TWRP or you can just install the OTA and then just follow steps to root again the same you did before.

Flash magisk 16.4.
As the title says I updated to 9.5.9 and I installed magisk to ota slot and then I got a bootloop.... I fixed it by using twrp option to fix bootloop but that removed root, everything I do now sends it into a bootloop, please tell me there is a way to reroot this without wiping my data
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-to-uninstall-magisk-module-t3940369#poststop
Just had the same issue an hour ago. Do this then re-root your phone again. Easy. Then re-install magisk modules.

Had the same issue.
Same here. I just reflashed TWRP (flash boot command), flashed the TWRP installer zip, rebooted recovery and then flashed Magisk. That solved it.
By the way, theres a new TWRP out for the 7 Pro.
I got the same problem but my internal storage is encrypted (it shows 0kb). TWRP is not asking for PIN to unencrypt the partition. What can I do now?
Do we have a custom boot image for 9.5.9? I'm looking to root and want to find the best method which will continue to allow future updates (even if I need to flash manually)

Your best bet is to use the oxygen updater app, download 9.5.9 and then copy it to a PC then use boot.img extract thingy and then use magisk to patch it and then use fastboot to to root it
Dears,
I have a OnePlus 6 unlocked and rooted with magisk and TRWP.
Currently I'm running stock firmware: oxygenos 10.3.
I got a message from system to update to 10.3.1.
Last time (when I have to update to 10.3) I tried to update in every way but without success and at the end I had to format everything and I lost my data.
So here is my question: which is the correct procedure to update software?
Thanks!
Look in TWRP and Root for OnePlus 6 on Oxygen OS 10 Stable/Beta thread
So you need to download latest Oxygen zip which is 042 buil if I'm not wrong...put it on your phone if you already didn't done that...then reboot to TWRP...and here starts the procedure....I HIGHLY RECCOMEND TO DO A WIPE WITHOUT FORMATTING INTERNAL STORAGE ONLY DATA...FOR AVOIDING ISSUES...but you can go without it...so here we start
Boot into twrp
Flash oxygen os zip(latest)
Flash twrp
Reboot to twrp(if it says no os installed just ignore it and swipe reboot anyway)
Flash magisk
and your done...thats it...nothing could go wrong.... I'm always doing it this way....

For me, the phone downloaded the whole package instead of just the little OTA. I let it install it, bit did not let it restart it. Then I went to magisk modules and installed "twrp-keep". Then in magisk manager I had it install magisk on the other slot. Then I restarted the phone. Everything worked great.

Try this method... im also done my update like this!
my way of doing it
Here's what i did and it didn't took me long at all i'm a newbie
I unroot my phone via magisk
install os 10.3.1 then flash twrp and root my phone again.
Dears,
Thanks for the replay.
I forgot that I was without TWRP.
What I did, and it worked, is:
- uninstall magisk manager by magisk
- install full update
- reboot
- flash by fastboot boot.img patched by magisk.
Thanks again
Hello!
I am on an older version of Android 11 and I would like to install the latest Android 11 OTA without losing root and TWRP.
I know that I could just manually flash the lasted Android 11 firmware, then re-install TWRP and Magisk, but this would mean losing all data and having to reinstall apps, restore backups, etc...
So I was wondering if there were a quicker way to install OTA updates without losing data and root.
I know that there are many articles on the subject but they all refer to a previous version of TWRP and Magisk. Because TWRP 3.6.0 sports a completely revamped codebase I would like to know what is the latest recommended method if any.
This is my system info:
Android 11 sargo-rq1a.201105.002-factory-2433e0c0
Magisk v23
TWRP 3.6.0-11_0
Japan region
PS I do not intend to update to Android 12 yet
I ended up flashing the latest version of the stock firmware and reinstalling TWRP and root. However if you have a solution please post it for future reference.
I was looking for the same thing, didn't find any good solution, however, you can edit the flash-all script so that it doesn't wipe your data (remove the -w argument if I remember well).

Yeah it does, you have to reflash them after
It's annoying that we can't choose the OTA android installs, it has to be the latest one. On some phones you can choose a local file, but I didn't find a way to do so with a pixel 3a.
If you were able to do this, in theory you could just flash the magisk module for twrp retention and preflash magisk on the unactive partition after installing the ota but before rebooting. Then just reboot and you keep everything.
I'm not ready to update to android 12 either (gravitybox, twrp), but I'll try then...

I don't understand. Just flash the Full Factory OTA zip in TWRP. That won't remove any data. And you can just check the box to "Automatically flash TWRP after zip" so that you'll keep whatever TWRP you're using. Then you just have to reboot recovery (so that you're on the updated slot) and flash the Magisk APK in TWRP. Reboot and profit.
P.S. This post belongs in Q&A.

I wondered if you could do this, apparently TWRP doesn't recommend it.
Also I had no idea how this works on a device with A/B partitions. Does TWRP automatically flash on the inactive partition?

That 'recommendation' is specific to incremental OTAs. Also, it not generally being supported isn't the same as it not being recommended.
TWRP will install the zip to the inactive slot, and then when you reboot, the device will automatically boot into the updated slot.
Thanks for the precisions, I'll know for the next time. TWRP really is awesome
hi everyone, i flashed pixel 3a to android 12 and now my imei is 004400.... and no service ..... what should i do?
