Question ROG 5s Update after Converting from CN to WW - ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s

I have been trying to update my phone for a while now but for some reason I am unable to, when I got the phone I followed this guide to convert it from CN to WW, and it worked well
But right now I am stuck at at version 18.1220.2109.126,
Every time I try to update to android 12 I am greeted with this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

}
if anyone could help me with this I would be really grateful, no matter what version I use I am always getting the same message

Update incrementally up to the version you want to get to.

its not working man, i almost tried every firmware

Flash RAW firmware (use the script / binary WITHOUT a wipe), then update normally.
If all else fails, you can perform the update with fastboot. It won't fix the issue and will have to be done for every future update, though.
Bypass "System update failed" - Update w/ Fastboot
Update notifications appeared, the update was recognized, but it failed instantly. I have since resolved the error by flashing a raw firmware without a wipe. This post is for archival purposes or simply an alternative installation method...

I tried both, but every time I try to run a script, be it flash raw or the flash_all, I keep getting waiting for devices, even though my phone is connected to my pc(through the side port) and is in fastboot/bootloader.

And when the system reboots, it brings me to the TWRP Bootloader screen.. even if i push the reboot to system button, the update failed to be applied.
Any tips?

You have to be stock to update OTA. No special recovery and no root

So, how can i make sure this message does not appear anymore, or can i just flash the latest image from code.google.com with the update included somehow, and everything will restore like it does now?

You can't flash any official OTAs with TWRP. It's a known fact, nothing you can do about it. Reflash stock recovery, or just use a close to vanilla custom ROM that gets the monthly security updates.

MT7-L09: Phone Unlocked BUT command not allowed when flashing

Hi,
I never saw this problem
My phone is unlocked (since a year more or less) and I can't install TWRP nor CWM. I tried many tutorials such as all the root methods listed on XDA for this smartphone.

There might be a problem with your drivers. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling them. Also, try using fastboot commands manually
Sent from my Mate
unlock again
Thank you. I'd like not to have to relock it as it's already done and rooted. Could you please tell me what drivers to install? I tested many of them (https://i.imgur.com/wBgsezr.png) but it seems I don't have the right ones then.
I'm using Win7 64bits.
Thanks again!
Use adbdriveinstaler and when it's install you can push recovery to add folder and try this command
cd C:/adb
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Change name your twrp or cwm to recovery
Send frome globe
Okay. Here we go
ADB driver installed (https://i.imgur.com/PWrZoHH.png)
Went to flash and... still not allowed.
And in fastboot/rescue mode on my phone it's written PHONE Unlocked.
WTF
BTW, is there any other way to upgrade the phone? Cause every time I go to the software update in the menu i'm told it's up-to-date, but it's not... Android 4.4.2 & EMUI 3.0.
I read about a "local update" but can't find out how to update from the SDcard, I only have OTA.

Cannot find updates on rooted phone

Hello,
I have a rooted EU phone (4a, not the 5g version). The OTA updater does not find the security updates, and all the rooting guides seem to indicate that they should show.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How can I check what's going on?
Long, more detailed version:
I have rooted my Pixel 4a (using Magisk). I think I have done things right¹, but my phone seems to be unable to find the November security update. I thought it was just a lag in the rollout of the update, but I got a message warning me that "it has been two weeks and I haven't installed the update yet".
When I go to Settings → System → Advanced → System update, it tells me my system is up to date, with Android 11 and the security update from the 5th October 2020.
I have tried removing Magisk to no avail, the update still does not show.
Does anybody know what's happening, or what I am missing?
¹ For what it's worth, the flashed version of the OS is sunfish-rp1a.201005.006 (using the flash-all.sh, then I have flashed the bootloader that came with it, patched with Magisk Manager beforehand).
You will need to flash back the stock boot.img and then search for updates, as if you mess with that (you did by rooting) you wont get OTA updates.
Thanks. I'll try that once I've figured how to do a full system backup.
You could simply sidleload the ota since you know it's there
Beware u will need to repatch your boot.img to have root again after applying the dec ota update.
I just tried sideloading the december OTA update (201205.008). It seemed sucessful from adb, but got stuck on the boot animation for a few minutes, and I ended up force-rebooting the phone. When the operating system started, I was still on 201005.006.
To be completely honest, I'm far too unfamiliar with the Android flashing and boot process to be confident in anything I'm doing here. I'm fairly comfortable with Linux and its boot process, but Android albeit similar is too different. I need to read up on that.

Unable to update oxygenOS after unbricking

So I have become member of the bricked-my-phone family. I have followed this tutorial https://www.getdroidtips.com/unbrick-oneplus-6/ and successfully unbricked it.
I have downloaded latest oxygen os (I tried two latest - one with android 11 and one with android 10), I have added the zip to the root directory and from system update I selected it, but in both cases I instantly get "System update installation failed" at 0%. It also says I am up do date from OTA (it it android 8.1 lol)
what should I do?
I want to install latest oxygenOS only for firmware, then I will be installing LineageOS again. I am afraid If I do it the other way around (LOS first than firmware) I will brick it again.

Download the latest OOS11 full version and install through Settings-- System Update -- Local Update.
Hope it helps.

That's exactly what I did and the result, you see on screenshot..
But later in the evening, I found the solution here https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-6-system-update-installation-is-failed.1314311/:
The OP6 must be on 9.0.9 before upgrading to Android 10.
You are still on Oreo/Android 8.
There is a link for 9.0.9 on this website:

If you are able to boot to Fastboot as well as able to unlock bootloader than do unlock the bootloader and flash this msm file
[ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP6] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 6
Things are changing with the advent of project treble and seamless updates. OnePlus will no longer release ROMs flashable via stock recovery (with twrp is possible but not recommended). The updates will be done on the slot not used for example...
forum.xda-developers.com
And after that reboot to recovery stock and factory reset. This will fix your issue than after lock the bootloader(if it's unlock after flashing the file) and update to latest rom (download the rom from oneplus updater app with advance setting "on")

Question Stuck in Download Mode: Error verifying vbmeta image

Hey there,
I have a problem with my A52 (SM-A525F/DS): It doesn't boot anymore, as it is stuck in the Download mode, showing the error message: "Reason recovery: Error verifying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header (6)"
Steps that lead to this:
LineageOS is installed. After installation of a software update, Magisk lost its root. So I tried to install an alternative recovery (TWRP) with Odin. Odin said "Pass", but now this error message occurs.
What can I do now to make the phone work again? Install the Stock ROM?
Would you please help me with this issue? Thank you so much.

Thank you and please excuse my stupidity.
@Simon1511, it worked, thanks again.
As this was inititally my problem: Is there a way to use LineageOS with Magisk and install Updates without losing the root access?

Not automatically. You would have to reflash magisk every time you install an OTA.

Thanks for your answer. I'm curious: Why doesn't it work anymore? It works with older phones like the Samsung A5 2017.

The problem is encryption. On the A5 2017 the Magisk re-install script would run after installing an OTA and would install itself again. But since encryption is enabled by default on newer phones (such as the A52) it doesn't work/behave correctly.
I'm fairly sure though it's an issue with Magisk and not with the ROM.
