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. ?

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
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!

Well,a lot of people have debranded/to manually install Oreo VTR-L29C432 B360 with the Method proposed...
now,we need a nice/clean tuto for INSTALL TWRP and ROOT with magisk or phh superuser.
Question is... After installing
TWRP: will we get updates/security updates from huawei AFTER flashing twrp ? ... If yes,will they install normally and work like nothing happened
ROOT: about same things as TWRP .... and after installing updates,we loose everything (twrp/root)
cuz bootloader is unlocked.
When i was on Nova Plus, TWRP/ROOTED with phh superuser i couldnt receive any updates at all...I received a n update once (from ROGERS ),dloaded it,let it do its thing,install/reboot (it was an official update OTA) and it always ended in a fail install...even if ive flashed original recovery so.
so many things after twrp/root is installed and receive/install official OTA

To answer you questions, You can receive updates from Huawei even if you are on twrp it just won't install because you need stock recovery for it to complete the installation , that's the reason why when you debrand your phone it installs the stock recovery as part of the process. Second it is possible to root being on Oreo with magisk @Blackball has a tutorial covering that. I'm on Oreo and also I have root and twrp install. Also there are several ways of installing updates one of them is to go back to stock recovery and waot for oficial updates you can also use proxy method with firmware finder as long as the update is approved for your IMEI, anyways there are several tutoriales covering all of this and many other thing just have to look a bit more through the rabbit hole.

You are lucky if you directly updated using updater on unlocked bootloader and your phone didn't bricked.
Yoo need a locked bootloader to update official OTA or you can use Redwolf recovery using OTA servival feature to update it to latest stable.
