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

Hello,
I have received last week a notification about the new update (from 31th May). Once the file was downloaded, my device has rebooted and arrived in the TWRP recovery. Nothing happened. I checked where the zip file was and I tried to install with TWRP but without success. TWRP said me that META-INFO is missing in the zip file. Is there a way to update with TWRP or have I to wait a new complete ROM with this update?
Thanks
Worked for me,
Which version of TWRP do you have?
It is the 3.0.2.1.
The exact message is "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.
Not working take a look at TWRP site I also tried with 3.0.2.1 and after error update is automatically erased.

Thank you Mr. Claude... effectively, with this FAQ on the TWRP site I understand now why it is impossible to apply an OTA update with TWRP.
Have a nice day
You're Welcome. Also on my LeTv x600 worked with TWRP but is not identical update system like P9000.

For me OTA update worked just fine on the P9000 with TWRP 3.0.2-1
only had to flash SuperSU again after the update.
Hello sundawn,
Can you just explain how you made your update? Have you a link to download the update.zip with the META-INF missing ?
Thanks.

Are you sure there was OTA update (with stock ROMs and from Update menu) not regular ROM download .zip made for TWRP and update through TWRP?(in this case you need an TWRP update zip).
There is 4 methods of update of ROMs:
1. OTA (On The Air) in this case updates is downloaded automatically or no (depending you're settings) direct on phone.
2. Download update.zip and flashing from stock recovery.
3. Download ROM.... update.zip for TWRP and flashed from TWRP.
4. Full new update ROM.zip and flashing with SpFlashTools.
Edit: Today successfully managed to update latest OTA 31.05 (but only this because seems there isn't a full update) via TWRP 3.0.2.1.

Same here.
After getting the update notification, I just taped apply and TWRP actually started the update.
Could be you have to remove the sd card, move your SIM from tray 2 to tray 1, and then try updating with the OTA again. That worked for me, after getting errors trying to update with the sd card inserted.
Hi, please, I installed some OTA update and forgot that I have TWRP. And now phone will always boot TWRP. Does somebody know where update is downloaded so I can install it?
Thank you
why make something so difficult? i would just give up on otas if i were you, ive never received any of them, just update manually.. download the file, grab a cup of coffee, and install it
I have the same issue, would like to know how what to flash to recover from this, TWRP for me is working well, but I can not boot to anything else.

Full factory flash with SP Flash Tools was the only way I was able to recover, at least I became very practised at it.
I received the Nougat OTA today, but when it went to install via recovery I got the little dead android. I do have the systemless root. Should my nexus 9 be able to take OTA updates?
What Recovery Have you installed? If you Have a custom Recovery like TWRP, you cannot Flash the OTA update with it.
Use flashfire app, this works fine.
I had the original recovery installed. I'll look into flashfire. thanks for the recommendation.
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
Hi friends.
I have a doubt about what is needed for a correct OTA installation in official ROM.
For example, I was in 20s, fresh install, no root, and with twrp then an update appeared for OTA, the 23s, I did it from the update icon, it was about 1.8GB, even with the TWRP, it was installed normally, the TWRP was replaced by stock recovery. I flashed the TWRP again, and flash SuperSU too.
When I was in 23s, an update prompt appeared, the 26s, I did it by the update icon, it was about 500MB, after it downloaded and went for install it booted on TWRP but nothing happened, so I flashed stock recovery, and did the procedure again, it said installation failed.
So I don't know what I am missing? Do I need a special recovery, do I have to be unroot?
Thanks for your help.

I mean flash just recovery from this toolbox after 26s. It's ALL-IN-ONE TOOLBOX.
You don't need special recovery. You need stock recovery for official OTA update which is 26s. If you try to update official ota with twrp nothing will happen.
by the way how did you get OTA even after root?

When I was in 20s CN I was without root, just fresh install, so I did OTA to 23s, then I rooted. Now I can't do the OTA by the update app, I think it is because of the root.
OTA because of root? Strange!? it was booting in twrp?while flashing 26s

Sorry I missed a negation of "can"
Well. I unrooted, and the same problem EUI Update Failed Cause: Installation Failed.
I did many tests, but was not succesfull.
Anyway, I restored my 20s CN version, and then the OTA prompt for 26 appeared, when I was in 23s the OTA for 26s was about 500MB, now from 20s to 26s it was around 1.8Gb, and worked. Now i have the 26s CN.

You can only update full ota updates via TWRP delta ota can't be flashed via twrp that's why 500 MB 26S failed via twrp ( 1.8GB is full update, if you​ skip any delta ota next time you'll receive full ota update), so if you want to update delta ota you have to install stock recovery and most times you need a factory reset or complete wipe.
The strange is that I was on stock recovery pm 23s, evento like that the OTA oficina 500MB didnt work.
Hi,
same problem here.
TWRP was recovery. My solution:
First I replaced TWRP with stock recovery ("hxxp://xxx.leeco.re/topic/1942-updatedofficial-stock-recovery-lemax2_x820_x822-enus" (I'm not allowed to use links as new user...)) but TWRP was still there as "app". So I flashed s23 (with file manager, named as "update") again. Here it works.
Then I flashed the update.

If you flash closed beta which is usually the latest rom then you won't get otas if you flash open beta or stable version then you can get otas.
When you flash otas they replace your twrp with miui recovery.
Yes, but you should download the full rom update and install via twrp, because installing directly will remove twrp & root

When you install TWRP and Magisk, the OTA will detect the root and will download the full ROM. Then you flash the full ROM via TWRP, boot back into TWRP to avoid the ROM overwriting it and flash Magisk for good measure and then boot into system.
