Ota and twrp - Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello guys, i have a question. What is the proper way of flashing miui updates from twrp. Atm i am on 10.2.2.0 but a new pie udpate has been released and i want to update to it. Also, do i need a certain recovery? I am on pitchblack atm.
I just don't want to brick my phone. Thanks in advance.

You can flash with no problem.
But after flash you lose twrp (it will be stock recovery). Need it reflash.

I successfully updated to pie, but a problem emerged. I can no longer flash magisk. Flashing magisk results in a bootloop and when i uninstall it from the recovery, the phone boots normally.
Any suggestions?

Did you flash that zip "lazyflasher"? For the dm verification thing.

Updating to 9.0.2 on a rooted device

Will there be any incompatibility issues with magisk and xposed?
No problem with rooted device on updating, althought you will get unrooted once you update with OTA.
Also, there is no xposed for Pie.
Not yet faced any issues. After OTA update done don't reboot the device. just come to Magisk manager -> install -> select install after OTA option and reboot so that you won't lose root.
Ok, I will stay on oreo for now then. Does Pie run better than Oreo on stock?
Should've read this **** before updating to Pie.
Currently in a bootloop after going from oreo to Pie :'(
What is the latest version of Oreo I should be able to get to with Xposed on OP6?
I faced some issues. After updating to 9.0.2 TWRP and Magisc were gone. So had to reroot and reinstall TWRP via fastboot.
Yes.. this will ALWAYS happen. if you want to keep root when doing OTA you have to do this after install is done, but before reboot!
open magisk app
press downloads
search for TWRP A/B
Install that module ( :::::...:.:..:...::::O NOT REBOOT:::::...:.:..:...::::
Go to main screen of magisk again
press install
press install to inactive slot (after ota)
NOW you can reboot and all will be kept.
If you do it from TWRP (like i prefer, since its just faster)
Flash full rom
flash Twrp (blu_spark latest)
reboot to twrp
flash magisk (latest)
done.
flashing roms will ALWAYS override recovery and boot partition
If I understand you precisely, you say, that this is a question of OTa roms. I am not very keen for OTA. Would TWRP and Magisk stay when flashing a non-OTA rom? If yes, are there non-OTAs of OOS?
No what I ment was using the update function from within android.
You will ALWAYS override recovery and Magisk. Follow the steps above when you flash..
Always like this from twrp
Flash Rom
Flash Recovery
Reboot to twrp
Flash magisk
And u be good...
OK thanks. I did wrongly to accept the automatic update instead of downloading the zip and install it via TWRP.

Losing TWRP and Magisk after update

I'm running stock ROM on unlocked bootloader with root through Magisk. I've been using TWRP, but changed over to Blu_spark TWRP recently.
Every time I update my OS Ota, I lose TWRP and Magisk. The Magisk app is installed, but the ROM is not rooted. If course, if I try to install patch the system so it's rooted through the Magisk app, it says that it can't unpack the file. If I reboot to recovery to install from there, I get the stock recovery, not TWRP.
I tried to re-install TWRP and Magisk once before, and borked my phone. I had to quote and start from scratch. I lost all data since I wasn't rooted and Titanium Backup would not run.
What is the proper way to get TWRP and Magisk back after an OTA update?
Flash them after you flash update zip. If you don't you will lose recovery and root every time. Gets overwritten by stock recovery. Normal behavior

So you're saying that instead of doing the OTA update, I should download the update from here, and manually update it ? Can I just install the update? I'm rooted, (well, I was) so the OTA will only download the full update. Is that required instead of the update?
I really have to do a full re-install for every update? That sucks. A lot.
Full reinstall? No. You just have to flash the full ROM. This doesn't mean, you'll loose all your data: Just TWRP, Magisk and (if you have it) your custom kernel. You only have to flash TWRP (or simply boot into it), Magisk and kernel (again: if you have it) after the update. Done.

Ok. Cool. I tried that last time, but it failed. As a result, I'm a bit anxious about doing it again. Hopefully, I won't have any problems this time.
Thanks for the info.
I have had similar troubles as you, here's an overview of how to solve those problems.
OTA through OS:
Download and install OTA
Use Magisk Manager to download the TWRP A/B retention script and install it
Install Magisk to current and inactive slot
Reboot
Guys I am using latest blu_spark twrp. my bootloader is unlocked and I am running oxygenOS openbeta23. Following is my problem.
My flash order: (Note: already I have bue_spark twrp recovery running without issues)
1. Flash the full OTA(openbeta)
2. Flash the blu_spark twrp zip file on both active and non active slots.
3. Flash the latest magisk zip file. If step 3 is not successful means I will try to reboot in to recovery and again flash the magisk installer zip.
Until some time back all this worked fine. But for last 2-3 times although the flashing process of twrp zip on both slots ends with success message, when I reboot to recovery from twrp in order to flash magisk, the device boots in to stock recovery. I don't know how even after flashing twrp zip on both slots successfully why the devices bootbback to stock recovery. Then to have blu_spark twrp I have to connect my device to a computer in fastboot mode and then boot in to custom recovery using the blu_spark twrp image file and again flash the blu_spark twrp zip file which is inconvenient and also requires a computer.
Am I missing anything here?? If yes why this method was working perfectly before? Please somebody help.
Regards,
Sivabalan K
I flash in following order my stable updates
Flash full rom zip
Flash bluespark recovery
Restart into bluespark recovery
Flash magisk
Restart into Android
Everything works flawless. Magisk installed with all the modules running
Hi guys,
Don't you need to disable lock pattern/PIN or fingerprint/face ID? And don't need to uninstall magisk modules?
I never update my OP6 from my initial unlock/twrp/magisk and I'm a bit anxious to do it now...
Thanks
PS : I'm using original twrp (3.2.3-1), is this a problem?

update to 9.5.9 bootloop, only fix was twrp bootloop fix but removed root

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

Updated to OOS 11.05.1.GM21AA, Magisk not working, TWRP too

Hi - I installed OOS 11.05.1.GM21AA on my OP7P today, and patched my boot.img file with Magisk 24.1.
After going into Fastboot Mode and doing a fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_boot.img, my OP7P rebooted OK, but my OP7P isn't rooted.
Is there something new that I am missing?
Also, is there a way to get both TWRP 3.6.x and Magisk to be available in the same patched boot image? It looks like TWRP completely overwrites the Magisk modded boot.img file, and then is stuck in a Recovery bootloop.
Thanks,
¿GJ?

I had the same issue, I had to downgrade to 11.04, grab a new 11.05 ota from oxygen updater app, extract boot from that and go from there

Is this the Oxygen Updater App you are referring to, or is it the incremental OTA that I would get from a "OnePlus system update" on a now unrooted and unTWRP'd phone?
Also ... Will I lose any data if I downgrade to 11.04? I've never downgraded before, so do I just install the stock 11.04 image via TWRP like I did the 11.05 image?
Lastly ... I'm assuming this will just get me root, but not including TWRP?

1. Yes that is the app Iam talking about.
2. Will you lose data? I always do a format (after the down grade) so I lost data but I never tried it with out formating, it might work, you could try it and see what happens .If it acts strange then it will need a format.
3. Yes you install 11.04 via twrp
4. Yes you will get root but if you want twrp you will have to reinstall
Once you down grade install the oxygen updater, let it download the update , don't let it install it, you can then grab the update from your root directory as it doesn't hide it, then your good to go, you can extract the boot.img by using payload dumper, then take the boot.img and patch that with the magisk app . ( Just install the magisk app on your downgraded 11.04 you don't need root to run the app ) ,,Then after your thru upgrading to 11.05 and after setup just reboot to bootloader and run the magisk patched boot.img, ( fastboot flash boot boot.img) reboot and wait a minute for the magisk app to appear ,it will want to install and do a reboot . Then you can install twrp if you want.
This is how I did it and it worked, you may find a simpler way once you start doing it ,, hth
I'm reluctant to go and do a total wipe (which I have been reading will be required to downgrade).
I'm wondering if the problem I'm facing is that my OP7P needed to be rooted for Magisk 24.1 to be able to successfully patch the latest OP7P build? My OP7P isn't rooted right now although I have v24.1 installed.
I accidentally had installed the latest 11.0.5 OTA before I had a chance to attempt re-rooting.

Right now I have 11.05 installed and Iam rooted, tomorrow I will unroot and downgrade to 11.04 without wiping and let you know what happens iam curious myself
I'm rooted now. I did have to wipe my OP7P to get root (due solely to my own heavy-handed approach to getting root again).
I posted in another thread, and I think that the thing that might have made a difference for me wasn't that I wiped, but possibly that I removed encryption before installing the Magisk-patched boot image.

I guess that's possible , I never thought of that, the only way to know is to do a fresh install only this time setup encryption then try to install magisk . But for now your rooted,, until the bug hits you or me to try another rom then we can start the whole thing over again,,

Question Install official RUI updates from TWRP?

So, I rooted my phone, for which I needed to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. Now, when I want to install an update on my phone, it downloads and when I want to install it, it jumps to TWRP recovery instead of the phone's recovery, so I can't update my phone. Does anyone know how can I install the updates from TWRP?
Else, reinstall the default recovery. (Only the recovery, not the entire OS since that would un-root my phone)
Thanks.
Edit: After it boots to TWRP, it apparently tries to install the update, since I can see it on the log, but when I reboot my phone it has not installed. It errors: "E3994: This package is for "2169B" devices; this is a "". Updater process ended with ERROR: 1. Error installing zip file '/data/ota_package/OTA/.otaPackage/my_manifest_RMX3370_11.F.04_3040_202302282047.44.36402b59_all.zip'
Edit 2: After failing to install it, it prompts me to re-download it and re-install it, but it jumped from ~500MB update to 4.76GB update.
( may loose data)
I read in telegram channels, this twrp: https://www.pling.com/p/1922292 support installation latest zip. but I haven't tried.
one more thing you can do is ( may loose data)
1. restore twrp backup for recovery partition ( if you don't have backup. search recovery.img in upgrade zip )
2. reboot to recovery to check stock recovery is installed
3. install update
4. then follow steps to install twrp and magisk ( root again )

Your guide is incorrect and will definitely put the device into bootloop.
** The twrp link that you shared doesn't allow system updates to install, it is just a A13 compatable twrp recovery.
1) What if that person has not created any twrp backup of all system partitions? According to his explanation, I'm pretty sure he has not created any backup of the partitions.
2) only flashing recovery image and installing the update will again put the device into bootloop because as confirmed by the OP that his device is rooted and due to root the boot image of the device gets modified so it will put the device into bootloop.
3) unless the OP has stock boot and recovery images at his disposal he should not attempt to install the update to avoid bootloop.
** Kindly avoid sharing incorrect information you aren't sure about the correct procedure.
procedure that I follow to flash updates :
1) in magisk - uninstall magisk - restore images
2) boot device into bootloader and flash stock boot and recovery.
3) boot device and install update.
4) put device again in bootloader and flash twrp and within twrp flash magisk and reboot.
I haven't found any easier way than this. If anyone has, kindly put it below.
