Hello! I have my OP6 with OOS but I unlocked the bootloader, installed Magisk and now I would like to update via OTA to the OOS 9.0.7 but I need to know if there can be some problemsor consequences like brick or I will lose something. The phone already said that after updating I will lose root :crying:
Can somebody tell me how can I update to Pie safely?
If I need to do a nandroid backupora backupof media I can do it without prob with TWRP and storing all my data in the cloud.
Thanks a lot!
Make a full backup
1-Download the full rom 9.0.7
2-boot to twrp
3-flash the rom (dont wipe anything )and dont reboot because you need to flash twrp just after the rom
4-reflash twrp while you are still in recovery (or you can flash twrp just after the rom by adding it in the queue)
5-reboot to recovery (dont boot to system yet)
6-flash magisk
7reboot to system

guys, i have a little confusion:
What's the correct procedure for reinstall the stock OOS from a custom rom and the procedure for change custom rom to another one?
i ask this because every time i try i brick the phone. (so msmntool and lose internal storage)
my latest experiment:
i was on Havoc, rooted and blue_twrp
full wiped (cache's, data and system)
installed Full 9.0 OTA+ twrp on slot A
rebooted to twrp
installed again Full 9.0 OTA+ twrp on slot B
installed magisk
rebooted to system...
keep boot on recovery and also i canno't decrypt sdcard because twrp doesn't ask me the pin....
someone suggested to me to format data, but i don't want to lose my internal storage anytime...
help?
The best thing to do to avoid all of thi bs is to follow this guide:

You dont have to flash the rom to both the slots. Just make a clean flash without format data.
First of all, Stay Encrypted :laugh:
Now from custom rom to Oxygen OS make a clean flash so follow the below:
Must Use Bluspark TWRP
1. Wipe Dalvik, System, Data & Cache
2. Flash the Full OxygenOS Rom Full Zip (Links available on my threads Beta or Stable Pie)
3. Flash the TWRP installer Zip
4. Reboot to RECOVERY to make sure TWRP stays and continue to root.
5. Flash Magisk Stable to maintain root (Avoid Beta)
6. Reboot System and Enjoy the latest firmware without any data loss
Make sure you follow above and also make sure:
1. Use Bluspark TWRP
2. Move from Pie To Pie / Pie to Oreo or Oreo to Pie might require a format.
Similarly follow the same if you want to move from Oxygen OS to Custom Rom, check the rom thread if the developer needs you to flash anything extra or firmware files.
Hope the above helps :good:

Thanks so much!
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.
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?
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.
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.
There's a way

So, any verdict on this new update for the people that did update to it?
