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
I've got a SGS4 (I9506) with Cyanogen Mod 13.0 and CWM and I want to switch to LineageOS 15.1 which states I should use TWRP.
1. Does it make a difference whether I use CWM or TWRP?
2. How exactly would I proceed to replace CWM with TWRP?
The only answer I found while searching was to "just use GooManager from the Play Store"...
Thanks in advance
Simple you going to go on twrp and see if a offical twrp exist for your device and if not go on the xda page for your phone and see if any modified twrp bulids exist for your phone and then you flash the twrp image in your recovery and reboot recovery will pop up and now you have twrp I hope this works...

1. It makes difference by not booting into rom when you flash with cwm or older versions of twrp
2. Download twrp from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832239230 .... and flash it with odin..
or extract that .tar and you will find recovery.img then flash that .img with flashify app if you are rooted..
Hope this helps

2. so I can just flash TWRP "over" CWM with Odin and there won't be any remains of CWM nor any problems?
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.

About that recovery, data partition will not get encrypted when you flash OTA update?

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 accidently upgraded my phone to Android 10 11.0.14 ( prehaps ). I want to install TWRP on this phone, and I attempted to install it without flashing the boot img, and it caused to entirely be bricked and stuck on fastboot, and I did also attempt to change the slot, but ****** off. I tried using MiFlash, ****** off, reinstall, ****** off. I still kept my OnePlus rom and I succeed to install and normally use it, and it still remained TWRP. I installed the stock rom for it cuz Oxygen is so unstable, and I did, but the TWRP is lost. I reinstalled it, but it bricked, again. I entered TWRP, wipe all data, and enter again, but lost TWRP. I figured that I did miss flashing boot img, thanks to a thread I accidently read. And I also figured how stupid I was when I just did upgraded my phone to the latest version, and there is no boot img compatible to that version, and I did searched entire internet for it. I didnt try to flash the boot img of the early version cuz I am afraid it bricked again cuz of the compatibility. So when will I expect for a boot img file to flash TWRP and when can I download and use it? Or technically I dont need that boot img file and just simply change the slot and flash it? Ty.
try this boot img, its compatible with android 10 also twrp is already installed in the boot img.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mi...HR_Q-v2.2-laurel_sprout-official.img/download (its for official android 10 rom)
then flash whatever rom you like then flash this zip, it will install shrp recover

Hang on. What do you mean by TWRP is already installed ? Does it mean that boot img file already contained TWRP or I do need to install it as a boot img to get the phone boot and work normally?
And btw, is installing SHRP Recovery an opinion or a must?

the boot img already contain twrp, and the boot img should be able to boot your rom (stock android 10) and no shrp is not a must you can use any recovery you like, but if you want to keep your recovery after installing a rom you have to install the recovery installer zip
