I have a doubt..
If I make a twrp backup of the stock ROM without any modifications.. Then when I restore the backup in future will I be able to get the OTA update of OOS??
Anyone?
Yes you should be OK for OTA updates with a stock non-rooted backup

Yes if backup is of non-rooted ROM and with original recovery (not with TWRP) then you will be fine.

By simply restoring your device from backup (Original ROM) and then install OTA updates by doing system update.

So instead of flashing TWRP recovery on your phone, you can simply boot your phone in TWRP by -
Code:
fastboot boot <twrp img>
And once your phone is booted in TWRP, you can create backup.
If you noticed we are giving fastboot command to boot in twrp only (not flashing TWRP on our phone).

Yeah.. But what's the difference.. I mean making backup by just booting twrp and using a flashed twrp.. As now twrp also supports OTA updates..

Difference is - with Flashed twrp your backup will have custom recovery as compare to booting twrp in which you will have original recovery in backup.
Yes, now twrp supports OTA updates. So you just have to download OTA's and flash through twrp. But, I still prefer to make backup of originial rom just in case I messed up something.

I hope this works.. This would make it easier to change roms.. And would Save data too.. As I don't have to download full OOS

So I was on Exizentence ROM and wanted to try out CM11, so I did a backup just in case I didn't like it. Well I don't and now I can't get into twrp recovery...help.
I downloaded the TWRP app from the play store and flashed the TWRP recovery ...and now I don't have recovery. I can boot into recovery. My phone works and all but I would love to go back to the other stock ROM.

you cant install recovery normaly to xperias
twrp does not support Z2
it is required to have a unlocked bootloader
you can use flashtool to do that
you can also use flashtool to install recovery

you can reinstall recovery using nuts recovery for locked bootloaders
or if you know how you can use flashtool to flash one of the recoveries found in the dev sections

I do not think you will be lol if you soft brick your phone. use nuts dual recovery installer to get recoveries back. boot to recovery and flash a new rom, failing that use flashtool to go back to stock and start again. once new rom is on flash nuts dual recovery again
i am currently on crombi kk. I tried to flash a new twrp in twrp and now it has corrupted the twrp. Is there anyways of installing twrp or cwm without having to use adb?

If you can boot to system try that:

... if not, you have to fastboot new recovery.

Hi i have a GR5 KII-L33 model (single sim), can i use any rom for kiw-l21, l22, etc. (CM13 and others)?
do i need to do extra steps? i dont want to brick my phone :silly:
Hey
make sure that you take full stock backup before flashing the ROM
use fastboot boot twrp.img to run twrp without replacing stock recovery then backup everything
after that you can flash twrp with normal command then flash cm
after flashing the ROM, you need to follow these steps here, to get your single sim working
I answered you in cm thread and here to talk more [emoji14]
And yes you can use any CM/AOSP Roms, don't mess around with stock roms

hi, just curious about the backup everything.
does TWRP backup our stock recovery partition? because you said that we have to boot twrp then backup everything. i wonder if we restore using twrp, will our old/original recovery return? i know that we can use update.app to restore stock recovery and rom.
i am new to this huawei device since i've been using htc one x and did flash custom rom also twrp. but my device is KII-L22 and keen to flash crpalmer's CM.
thanks.
There will(hopefully) be a lot of otas coming to Poco F1 for bug fixing. So if we are rooted with Magisk we cannot install Otas directly as magisk modifies our stock boot image. And since poco doesn't have A/B partitions we cannot install OTA's and still keep Magisk. That brings us to Flashfire which can preserve root. Flashfire doesn't work on MIUI 9.6.14.0 (it doesn't work on mine) .So how do we install OTAs while preserving Magisk ? Is it possible or do we have to flash stock recovery and stock boot image and lose magisk ?
OTA update method according to topjohnwu:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md
Would be helpful if somebody can post a diy in the guide section on how to apply OTAs on Magisk rooted devices.
I would be very interested as well!!
Go to recovery.
Flash Magisk zip to restore old kernel backup.
Boot to system, you will not have root.
Update.
You still have TWRP, install Magisk again.
Profit.
I did flash my ota via stock recovery . You need flash stock recovery then go to system update after done go back to twrp and your magisk

Could you please be more specific?
1. Flash stock recovery (so you loose Twrp)
2. Boot to System and make update
3. Flash twrp again and root again with Magisk?
Thanks

Hi, just booted into TWRP and flashed Magisk zip file, I'm still rooted.
Do you mean then the uninstaller Magisk file? If so, it will remove packages as well and root will still be there... Could you please be more explicit? Thanks!

Magisk makes a backup of ur boot.img, which you need to use OTAs, to restore it, you can flash Magisk again to restore it. (that's how it should work)

In my case flashing Magisk again did not work. From Magisk Manager -> Uninstall either since it was "unable to download".
For those who would be in the same case, I did following steps to update:
- Download latest Magisk uninstaller (currently 17.3, I tested with 17.1 & 17.2)
- Boot into TWRP (I use an app for convenience), go to Install > flash the Magisk uninstaller zip and (optional) boot to system to make sure root is gone (with Root Checker e.g.)
- Power off device and boot into Fastboot, flash stock boot.img (you can find it in the ROM folder you used to install your ROM), boot to System and install OTA update via the update manager, then reboot
- At this point I was stuck in fastboot screen, I simply booted with TWRP (with decryption working) and it took care of installing the update, I then flashed Magisk from there.

It will but I am ok with encryption. If you don't want then flash disable force encryption from twrp after flahsing the ota or flash magisk which will disable force encryption.

I tried the latest twrp from the official website, but to no avail
Anyway, i installed PE+ with their official recovery, but now i can't flash magisk or any module
I'm wondering if it can be done (twrp or orange fox) without having to lose all my rom data, as i am alredy settled with my current ROM
Ps: when i tried i flashed at partition be, i have no clue as to why i didn't want to boot to recovery even tho the installer said it actually said it was flashed
Thanks in advance

Yes you can flash any recovery without loosing any of your data
Check the current partition and flash recovery in that partition

the latest official TWRP was released in June 2020. TWRP is not working for me as well after Mi update of Sept 2020.
Now if I install TWRP and boot into system via recovery, it takes me back to Fastboot. I was lucky to have a copy of Stock boot img. @Hugask
