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.

Today I've flashed the recovery with TWRP to install SuperSU.
Is there any possibility of installing the stock recovery to be able to install Android updates normally again without losing all data and SuperSU?
You sir, are not alone with this question. Been eagerly looking for an answer for the same question..

I can't find anything for the G5, only for other phones.
The only option I currently know of is to flash the whole KDZ and then install TWRP and SuperSU again. Is there another way?
As long as the system is modified in any way, the only way to install ota updated is through LGUP because before applying the update there is a system integrity check ran and if that fails you will most likely get into bootlops or worst
Here is what I did to get a 10D rooted system
Thank you @gwolfu.

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
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.

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.

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

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.
Just unlocked the bootloader , latest MIUI global beta. Here are the questions which needs valid answers
1. Need to flash TWRP and root. Which twrp image will not need any encryption disabler flashed every time I flash a rom? please give the link of the most stable and recent version of it.
2. I will flash magisk. How will it behave with OTA on miui global beta?
3. Will I receive OTA update? If I do, how to flash it properly? I dont want to roll back to stock recovery just to flash an ota and then again flash twrp. And I dont want to flash full rom either.
4. If I am able to flash OTA through twrp, do I have to wipe anything? Im asking if I will loose any data or not.
5. As far as I know, I need to unroot everytime before I flash OTA? what does that mean actually? If im rooted, will I not be notified of the OTA update through the updater app? Or do I have to manually downlaod the ota from the web?
6. And one more thing. I dont want the clock on the top left in any screen, lock or home. Which mod will remove the clock and add regular notification icon? (working with miui beta ofcourse)

I can answer your questions partially.
2 & 3. Flashing TWRP and Magisk will result in OTA zip not being downloaded. Instead, the full ROM will be downloaded automatically.
4. AFAIK, you can't flash the OTA zip through TWRP.
5. If you want the OTA, you will have to be completely stock, no modifications to system files. Only then the OTA zip will download and only then you can flash it. You will ofcourse be notified of the availability of the OTA zip even if you are rooted but it will not download because it does a check of your system before downloading. Only the full zip will download if you are rooted.
It is much easier (atleast for me) to accept the full download and flash it through TWRP and then boot back to TWRP (to preserve it and to avoid overwriting by stock recovery) before booting into system. If you only wipe Dalvik and cache, there is no need to reflash TWRP and Magisk. Ofcourse if TWRP gets overwritten somehow, then flashing it and Magisk again is not a big thing.

OrangeFox Recovery has a feature to disable force encryption without flashing the DFE.zip everytime you flash a custom rom.
And it supports MIUI OTA Updates.
