I will enable miui ota incremental updates in settings but when i try to update over OTA it failed because of zcx can not create auto backup when i flashing full recovery ROM . SO that it will not work.

Just wanted to post my experience with the recent ota.
Yesterday I received Ota notification for 8.1.2.0 on Global stable mi5
The setup of my mi5 was global stable 8.0.5.0 with systemless supersu n suhide + official twrp
It failed to install couple of times. I tried to open to open the Ota zip, but it was encrypted.
Offical twrp couldn't flash it.
So googled for twrp with miui Ota support.
I found zcx twrp for mi5. It has the feature that supports reboot from updater app to flash Ota.
It failed again but now I can see the failure log in twrp. It was boot size mismatch.
Aah! Xiaomi now checking boot also while flashing Ota.
Left the whole Ota business and downloaded the full ROM and checked it's update script, no checks there! Cool.
Flashed it in twrp, peace of mind.
Whole thing done in 10 mins.
Rooted back again.
Suggestion: don't use incremental Ota unless you have nothing touched in the phone. Better go for full ROM.
But not everybody can afford to download full ROM.
Does anybody know how to decrypt Ota zip? Then atleast I can modify the update script to make it work
I am currently on miui 9.2.1 and i want to flash recovery and root my device.
So,i don't want to break miui ota updates and saw videos about redwolf recovery on youtube and my question is which rom file of miui should i flash on my phone
I have already miui 9.2.1 zip file which i used for flashing my phone via mi flash tool can i use that or any other zip?
And before flashing that zip should i clean data,dalvik,cache
Or should i directly flash that zip file
Before you flash MIUI, you will first need to install Redwolf Recovery. The version of MIUI can be your current one or the latest one.
Install Redwolf Recovery
Boot to Recovery
To enable MIUI OTA Support, click Advanced->Special Actions
Scroll to the bottom and check off "Include system in OTA survival", "Aggressive stock recovery deactivation", and "Support MIUI Incremental OTA"
Clear Dalvik/Cache, Cache (no need to clear data, unless you want to start fresh)
Install MIUI, and reboot (no need to flash lazyflash zip file as Redwolf does it automatically after any install)
Your device now supports OTA. Note that whenever you install OTA, it may seem like it takes forever or it's frozen. Don't worry, just leave it. (May take up to 10 mins)

You can use the current version of MIUI which you already have, or downloaded an updated version of the Stable or Developer MIUI to flash over.

As the title states, will I receive OTA updates for my Redmi 5 after I install TWRP and flash Magisk?

I installed TWRP and Magisk, and I received OTA update, but with custom recovery, the phone can't install it, (it just reboots to TWRP when you press update).
I've read that you can install updates via TWRP but I am not sure from where to download the updates as currently, the official Xiaomi page is down, I presume because of the MIUI 10 update...
You can re-install the stock recovery and maybe unroot the phone and then try again, at least that's what i've read on other forums, but didn't test it myself yet.

Yes, although we still receive OTA update package from MIUI host, we can't update OTA with TWRP recovery for rosy at present. TWRP hasn't supported ota incremental update zips yet. We need some one can build RedWolf Recovery for rosy to have OTA incremental update supported
Yes u will receive update but u have to flash it via TWRP

You can install ota after being rooted. There is a custom recovery ORANGEFOX RECOVERY which offers ota. You have to install miui from it and after that you can install ota from it.
You can try flashfire. Download it through google play. You won't lose your data nor root. You can google the steps or go to youtube for more info.
If you want to update to latest stable pie,follow these steps:
1. DOWNLOAD THE GLOBAL STABLE 10.1.3
2. disable all MAGISK MODULES
3. reboot to recovery and flash the latest GLOBAL STABLE PIE ROM
4. wipe cache and dalvik
5. FLASH FED 17.3.zip
6. reboot

wihout rebooting the device:
install OTA zip from TWRP
restore recovery image (TWRP),
re-install magisk
wipe dalvik/cache
voilà, that's all it needs. I've done it many times running llineage16.

Does ORANGE FOX works with updating OTA if the /system partion is modified? Getting error 7 in TWRP with decryption. Help please!
I use Magisk :
1) Uninstall Magisk to restore stock boot image
2) Flash the update through TWRP with encryption support
3) Flash Magisk again

See you have to flash ORANGEFOX RECOVERY using any other TWRP recovery. After you have flashed the recovery you have been asked for password just cancel it. Now go to wipe clear data and reboot to recovery(this will decrypt the device). After that you have to copy the desired miui rom and flash it(copy it from your computer or use sd card or usb to flash). After that flash magisk and you are good to go.
Today I got Update Miui 10.2.0.PEJMIXM & Im done to download that but when im try to install the stock recovery give me "Install Update.zip failed"
Can someone please tell me what is problem with this ota anyone have solution for that ?
Same here with twrp. Get error on downloaded .zip
Yes, im also try with TWRP but error still exist
somehow my twrp was replaced with mi pc suite. completely confused. gonna start over with twrp install etc.....unless there is an easier fix?

If you try to install the incremental OTA zip with TWRP, it will not install. You have to wait to download the full ROM and then flash it.
In case you don't want to wait, dirty flash the current ROM and it will overwrite TWRP with stock recovery. Now you can flash the incremental OTA zip through stock recovery and after setting up the phone, flash TWRP if needed.
