Yes, you can flash the update via recovery without wiping the device. This is called a "dirty flash" and can only be done if you are installing an update of the ROM that you currently have installed. For example, if you have a LineageOS ROM installed and a LineageOS update is available, you could install that update without wiping the device. But, if you have Pixel Experience installed, you can not flash LineageOS without wiping the device. In your case, as long as the update is a Pixel Experience update, you can flash without wiping.

Thank you very much, I will be thankful if you could tell my in some detail how to do it
I thought it might be by choosing the "install" options from recovery, then install the file from internal storage. Is it right? Or should be done someway else?

Obviously. How else did you plan on installing it via recovery? I am not aware of a different way to flash a ROM via recovery.

Need help. most apps crash

I rooted my ZenFone 4 max and installed Xposed. Ended up installing an Xposed module that caused the system UI to crash on boot. So I did a factory reset from TWRP, which fixed the UI. But now most of my apps crash and force-close. Anyone have an idea how to fix this? Would flashing stock firmware work? And if so, where can I get the stock recovery? (I already downloaded the stock firmware from Asus website)

Whats your Android version. Try flashing gapps. Hope it will work. Use the stock gapps package.
7.1.1
Android 7.1.1. I tried gapps, it didn't help, and most of the gapps crash as well
solved(ish)

I got a notification for an ota system update, figured I didn't have much to loose, so I went ahead and told it to install. It started installing, then booted to recovery (twrp) and then crashed, and wouldn't load the operating system, would only boot to twrp. I restored a (bad [backed up after problems started]) twrp backup I had, and now everything seems to be working just fine. So the ota update must have fixed whatever was causing app crashes. At this point with everything I have done, the code probably looks like Frankenstein's monster, but everything works, so I'm happy and am going to leave everything the way it is. Hope this might help if someone is having similar problems!

Ohh.. flash to stock os again
Go to twrp> wipe > wipe everything (system,data,cache ,dal cache)
Back to install select the stock os
Install it..
( Is the installation fail. Go to fastboot and flash the stock recovery and flash the stock os through it)
Then reboot.
Install magisk manager
After opening it it will pop up "install "
Hit install and locate the stock os "boot.img" file.
It will download and flash some files.and will create a patched-boot.img file in your internal storage
After that copy it to your pc and flash it
( Fastboot flash boot "file.img" )
Reboot!!!
Install Xposed from magisk module. Its the stable one.

Lost twrp after miui 10 update

Hi, i have a problem with twrp. Lately i bought a Redmi Note 6 Pro, i waited the normal 15 days to unlock the bootloader, then I unlocked it and i flashed twrp, root, etc... The problem is that after the first update i made (MIUI 10 stable update) i lost root (which i think it's normal) and the twrp. TWRP recovery got overwritten by the default xiaomi recovery. How can i fix this? Because it's impossible to install twrp back after every update, i would have to format it evey time because of the locked internal storage! I'll leave some info below.
Ah and btw i tryed again yesterday with a new update and it happened again, so it wasn't just a one-time thing.
Phone: Redmi Note 6 Pro 4+64
MIUI version: MIUI Global 10.2 | Stable | 10.2.2.0(OEKMIXM) last version, i updated yesterday
TWRP used: unofficial twrp, the official one isn't out yet for my device. If it's needed i can send the iso or something
Used this recovery

Does it work for you or you lose it as well after update? Thank you anyway
Will this twrp work for latest version??
I lost root and TWRP after updating too.
I heard that everytime you update your phone, it replaces the TWRP and disable root. That's one of the reasons I will wait more before root my phone.
Guys i'm working hard to find a solution. If i find it i'll tell you. Please do the same if you find something
I think you'll need to do everything again (install TWRP and root).

The bad part isn't re-installing twrp or root. It's that every time you do that you MUST format the data because insthead you wouldn't have access to internal storage from twrp, and that makes it impossible to flash anything

That's indeed the worst part. Better to wait for a recovery that can decrypt internal storage permanently.

After flashing stock miui you have to flash disable vm cause the stock miui will replace the recovery with the stock one!
You all should learn about these topics more or stop experimenting with half knowledge.
When you are installing/ flashing any full MIUI ROM, you are also flashing the stock recovery that comes with MIUI. So it's natural that TWRP will get replaced.
So after flashing a new ROM, always flash TWRP and Lazyflasher too.
Always install/ flash a new ROM via TWRP and not through the System Updater app.
Hope this helped.
Flash TWRP then flash this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
for euopean country you should use EU rom, weekly OTA update and flashed by TWRP automatically,
only Magisk must be flashed again for root,
maybe for chinese developer rom it is the same procedure ?
Lost root

S7 G930F stuck in a bootloop after attempt to install TWRP

Hi everyone!
I wanted to finally flash a custom ROM on my G930F (vanilla, with the latest official update) and started by installing TWRP (twrp-3.3.1-0-herolte.img.tar) via Odin (3.13.1) following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770.
Everything was going smoothly until step 9, because after swiping right I tried rebooting before flashing anything (found a thread on Reddit advising to just follow the guide without proceeding with rooting as indicated in the last steps). So now I'm stuck in a bootloop and I have no idea what to do, I can only access Download mode but that's it.
How do I solve this problem?
Step 10 included scenarios for both if you want root, or if you just want to boot successfully
Did you download and flash the dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip as per the step 10?
Repeat steps 6-10 and flash that zip

Thanks for answering!
Yes I figured out, installed TWRP via Odin again and then tried flashing that thing without wiping as shown in the video, but then I got some error messages and the device wouldn't boot up again, telling me I had to do a wipe. So I just went into recovery and did a factory reset.
Now I'd like to flash LineageOS but I'm not so sure anymore since I've had so many problems, and I have a few questions:
Do I need to reinstall TWRP?
Do I need root?
What version of LineageOS should I download?
Is there a guide for flashing LineageOS on the S7?

Do I need to reinstall TWRP?
No TWRP will remain until you remove it or flash stock firmware.
Do I need root?
Not required to flash custom Rom's but useful
What version of LineageOS should I download?
Look at the ROM section and read up on which one you want, there are several different ones and builds so the choice is yours.
Is there a guide for flashing LineageOS on the S7?
There is always a guide contained in the post for the ROM usually at the beginning. The process of flashing Rom's is generally the same no matter what Rom you use.

Can't install Pixel Experience Custom Android 12

I have been struggling to install Pixel Experience Android 12 on my Poxo X3 NFC.
I had PE Android 11 before. When I tried to flash Android 12 I get following error
assert failed: update_dynamic_partition(package_extract_file("dynamic_partition_op_list"))
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file ...
What I tried
1, Install latest firmware
2. Format Data
3. Wipe data, dalvik, cache
3. Sideloading Custom Rom
Can someone help me to revive my device please?
Thanks a lot
Hello, on my wife's X3NFC I had to flash the latest Full ROM (12.5.7) via Fastboot.
Then I was able to install the lA12 PE. I don't know why I had to do this, but it worked.
She didn't like A12 PE and now A11 PE is running again on her Phone
Maybe (I heard about that) it works too, if you only flash the super.img from latest Fastboot-Image via Recovery.

Question Flashing LineageOS on X3 Pro. What do I do at recovery?

Hi y'all. I recently got an X3 Pro and will be installing LineageOS on it. I'm just currently waiting out the 1 week period before the Mi Unlock app allows me to unlock the bootloader. I read through the official installation instructions a few times and one of the first things it says is to ensure the phone is already running its stock Android 12 ROM, which mine is. Further down where it says to factory reset in the custom recovery, it only mentions erasing the data and cache partitions. Does this mean I'm supposed to flash LOS over MIUI or is it safe to erase system first then clean install LOS? It would be much appreciated if anyone could shed some light on this. If it helps, I also intend to use OrangeFox recovery.
EDIT: I found out about Xiaomi firmware flashing while doing some more research for this. Please let me know if I've got this right. I think the reason the instructions say to be on the latest stock ROM and don't say to erase system is because MIUI has a set of closed-source low-level drivers that are available for download separately but cannot be included as part of a custom ROM. Dirty flashing LOS will keep these drivers intact while removing MIUI. If this is correct, then this should mean it's safe to erase system as long as I download the latest firmware file and flash it before the ROM so that the drivers are there when the ROM is installed. Am I right about all this?
