hey I have the redmi note 4 sd edition global stable , I wanna update to the latest V8.5.8.0 but my device is rooted and twrp is installed.. I tried by downloading from the updater but I got in the twrp recovery. when I root a device I know I can't get ota updates.. but I don't wanna lose my files photos etc... if I download the latest version with zip extension then I can get on the twrp recovery and flash it ? or I think there is way in the updater to flash a zip.. am I gonna lose files if I try any of these methods ? what about format ? do I need it?
Hi
I found myself in the very same situation, and despite a little bit of trial and error look at what finally helped me to update and regain root, I kept all my data and settings. No bugs so far!

Hi!
I just got my redmi note 2 and found the device full of chinese apps and the battery life was not what I expected.So I want to flash a new rom and a custom recovery.So I tried to flash TWRP 2.5.7 and I Followed these steps:
downloaded TWRP 2.5.7 and renamed it update.zip
Saved it to Internal Memory
Used the updater app, phone automatically went to the recovery mode
started flashing TWRP
but when The process reached 99% a error message read"update.zip signature verification failed"
I did a full wipe and did it all over again.Same error.also tried MI PC suite but it would'nt let me create a backup hence no flashing.So I am at my wits end here folks.Please help!!!!! And being new to MIUI doesn't help either
I am currently running on MIUI 7.0 stable (7.0.8.0)
SOS SOS!!!!!
You can't flash an unsigned zip file with updater/mi recovery.
MiPCSuite can't create Redmi Note 2 backups, it's a bug.
For install twrp recovery install an official developer rom (you can find it on http://en.miui.com). Now you have root access going into Security / Permissions / Root Permissions.
Install flashify, open it. It will say you haven't got root. Go in into Security / Permissions / Root Permissions and enable it.
Now flash the recovery.img file of TWRP with flashify as a Recovery image.

Thank You sir.I will definitely try this. I will let you know if this worked for me.
Also, can the official developer rom be flashed by the updater app? Or some other methods are required?

Never mind..I have flashed TWRP via fastboot mode.All is well now.Thank you
I'm currently running MIUI 8 global dev ROM with officially unlocked bootloader, and there's a new update for it. Problem is, I rooted my phone already and I'm not sure if updating it will get rid of root. Also, twrp doesn't stick for some reason, so it's not very convenient to just flash SuperSU.zip after updating.
Install zcx recovery (search on MIUI forums )..that'll help you to receive ota updates (so you don't have to download and flash the entire ROM all the time ).if you follow the instructions on installing zcx recovery then that twrp will stick ..after that you can install SuperSU after updating ROM .
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'm using Redmi Note 4 SD 64 GB variant. I have a question. I flashed the Miui 8.5.8.0 through TWRP recovery as I did something wrong with my built.prop file my phone was not booting up. So I downloaded the rom from the official site and flashed it using TWRP and again rooted it. But not I have unrooted the phone and uninstalled magisk. So will I get the OTA updates for Miui 9 or I have to flash it through TWRP again tho the TWRP is still installed but I don't have root excess. In older version of Miui 8.2 I used to receive OTA updates even tho I had root access and TWRP installed and one more thing I I'm unaware of it is my phone can't pass safetynet check. I'm unable to download Netflix from playstore also. While using the BHIM app it shows your device is rooted tho I unrooted it now. Please anyone give proper knowledge about it. Thanks in advance. ?
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.
