I'm running MIUI Indonesia rom, can I flash EU.Rom through TWRP without data loss? And is using Disable force encryption necessary in this case?

Use MiMover to back up your apps and data to your external SD card and make a clean flash according to instructions.
You only have to do it once

I am running CM-11 Stable version, which means I am rooted as well as custom recovery. If I update my ROM, will I loose any of my application's data?
e.g. if I upgrade to CM-11 Nightly, will be there any loss of data. Or if I want to install some different ROM's will there be any loss of data.
Is it possible to switch back to Stock ROM (Rooted) without loss of data.
Actually managing phone's data is big pain once you reinstall whole OS, So I am really doubtful here.

Do you mean with data your storage or your apps, settings? If you install a new rom you always need to wipe data (that is not your internal storage). If you update you only need to wipe cache and dalvik. You can backup apps easily with titanium backup for example
You should always nandroid backup before flashing roms and always keep a local copy of a titaniun backup.
Flashing custom roms dont wipe data. However, you may have to wipe data yourself to get it to boot.
Rule of thumb is:
Upgrading to a new version of the SAME custom ROM, no need to wipe. If you then find something doesnt work, wipe
Changing to a NEW rom, wipe.

Hi fellas,
I'm running OOS 9.5.7 GM21AA and rooted using Magisk.
I got a notification for the 9.5.8 system update. I would like to upgrade the OS but would still like to keep root (and don't wanna restore my phone). However, I have still backed up to Google Drive, and also using the OnePlus Switch app and copied the back up to my PC.
My question is, what's the best way to go about updating the system without having it touch my data?
I know the system update will unroot the phone automatically, which I'm guessing is going to delete all my data (because my device is rooted). So is there a way I can UNROOT separately so I don't lose my files and data, --> and then after that do the system update?
Can I download 9.5.8 from the web manually and install via TWRP for example, thus not messing with root and not losing data?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply.
Just to make sure, following those steps I shouldn't lose my data, correct?

Correct. I didn't lose data when I did it awhile ago but I would still make a Google back up just in case of any errors

Awesome, thanks again! :good:
See here, as the exact question has already been asked and answered: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/how-properly-update-t3942735
I know you did already got an answer, but there is additional info on the other thread.
In particular, I would reiterate would I posted about data retention when updating:
Yes, it should retain your data. I just updated to 9.5.8 a few days ago, and it kept my data intact (by the process of updating in settings, don't reboot, in Magisk Manager install TWRP installer in inactive slot, etc.).
But what I always say when attempting a "dirty flash" (flashing the ROM, but retaining data) is: hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Backup anything that is important to you before any big update, just in case. What should happen, and what actually happens, are not always the same thing!
@omar0aziz, no, losing root does NOT mean you lose your data. (This is not to be confused with locking or unblocking the bootloader, which will inevitably lose your data.) If you lose root, simply flash Magisk again.
The best way to update? I recommend taking full manual control of the update process. Use TWRP to update your ROM (that includes stock OOS) when you want to, and when you need to fix stuff.
- Flash ROM
If you are on slot A and flash a ROM, it goes to slot B.
- Flash TWRP installer zip
Keeps TWRP on both slots, patches boot.img
- Reboot to TWRP, not system
- Flash ROM again
This installs the ROM to the other slot, so now both slots are updated
- Flash TWRP installer zip again
Keeps TWRP on both slots, patches boot.img
- Flash Magisk
Patches the TWRP-patched ROM, allowing it to boot.
- Wipe dalvik
You can wipe data and dalvik instead for a clean flash
- Now reboot to system
(Keep in mind that in most custom ROMs, you will need to do an initial setup of the ROM, then reboot to recovery and flash Magisk again to get root.)
Consider flashing BOTH slots (A and B) whenever you update OOS, for two reasons. First, you don't have to keep track of which slot has which version of OOS should you flash a custom ROM or kernel with a specific version of OOS required as a base. The second reason is more compelling: the way the data partition changes encryption every update has nearly obviated the reason for A/B slots, in that if newly updated B changes data encryption upon boot and then something happens, you cannot revert to A because A can't read the new data encryption. So the solution is to update both A and B at the same time so both slots use the same encryption and can both access the data partition.
Or like me, run the device decrypted (i. e. without forced encryption).
Good luck!

Hi there,
so I just wanted to install Pixel Expierence, because i wanted something new after Lineage. After flashing the right Version with wiping cache, data, system and dalvic, the phone is starting in twrp again. When I tried restoring my full backup, it reboots to TWRP again. I tried installing many different custom roms but nothings happens.
I did have Magisk and some Xposed stuff to have Snapchat etc. .
Can somebody help?
You need to perform a data format even after using Lineage as it encrypts the file system. (this will erase everything from your phone so you need to make a backup)

You can use a remove forced encryption patch, or easier, just use orangefox recovery and remove forced encryption automatically. Then ofc you are not encrypted, but don't need to format data everytime when changing Rom.
Hi, i am currently using syberia os latest version and is facing a lot of freezing issues. I have several multi authentication apps which is needed for official purposes and cant do a complete wipe of data! How can i install a new rom on top of it? Will a dirty flash of another custom rom will help it? What should be wiped inorder to avoid losing of apps/data of them mainly data inside MFA apps?

Can't you just backup your mfa? They usually have export options. If not, maybe apps like titanium backup.
Even dirty flashing on top of working roms is discouraged. Dirty flashing on top of a broken rom will probably leave you with a still broken rom
