Will i get OTA updates if I flash Supersu through ADB and do not install any custom recovery? Will Supersu work properly?
This may be known to many but there are many users who were struggling with this.
Hello Folks,
Was getting few requests on XDA, Telegram and Facebook for this. As title says, there were few users reporting OTA failures while they were rooted with Magisk. Yes, that's obvious, it will fail as you have modified the boot.img (ramdisk) and stock recovery (Recovery_ramdisk.img) while rooting and installing TWRP.
Please follow below steps to update via OTA if you were rooted or using magisk.
Uninstall busybox binaries and Xposed framework (if you are using by any chance)
Uninstall Magisk (inside the app or by flashing the magisk uninstaller via TWRP)
Download update.app of your current firmware and extract stock recovery and boot file via Huawei extractor
Flash stock recovery of your actual variant as fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img
Flash stock boot as fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
Boot to system.
Perform OTA update and reboot.
Root your phone again if you want.
Enjoy.
You could just :
1.patch the new ramdisk's update via magiskmanager then,
2.update via HuRUpdater without removing your root before,
3.then reboot straight to fastboot, and flash your new patched ramdisk
4.reboot to your rooted updated firmware with magisk module still working and root mods still applyied.
PS: I don't know about xposed frameworks

Do we need to keep "Enable OEM Unlock" checked or unchecked in developer settings?

Doesn't matter unless you are rooting

It should be hwouc folder directly under root of internal memory and not data/update/hwouc
Hi Guys
I've rooted and installed TWRP On my A20(A205F) successfully.
Yesterday I decided to check for updates and I found that the A20 now has an October Security Update.
[I'd also like to state that I haven't been able to patch my boot.img in Magisk, It failed to download the Magisk v20 Zip all the time, so I got it from somewhere else and tried to get it to work. Eventually it worked and managed to download the zip and patch my boot.img for october update but once I tried it again it keeps failing to download the installer zip.]
So I downloaded the whole firmware and did a full on backup of all my stuff then I proceeded to flash via odin the updated firmware. I've managed to get Root via Magisk working 100% but then I went on to flash TWRP and came out with a bootloop, actually I've tried multiple ways to install TWRP and Magisk without a successful outcome I've now come back to the June Update so I got Magisk and TWRP back.
Some links on the Github page of Magisk isn't working??? Whats up with that? I couldn't download anything from there.
So is there anyway someone could help with getting the update and having TWRP and Magisk working again?
Hi everyone,
i have a rooted pixel 3. I rooted it without twrp, i used adb to flash the patched boot.img so i have stock recovery. The January update arrived yesterday and i need to update to fix the video camera bug. How can i update? Thanks
Get factory image. Extract. Open "flash-all.bat" and remove -w before the update part (if you want to keep data). Disable any magisk mods you might have and reboot to system. Reboot to bootloader and run flash-all.bat . If you want root again, use magisk manager to patch the new boot.img
There is a guide for it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/guide-pixel-3-xl-android-10-0-q-t3964117
For 3xl, but the same procedure
Thank you so much!

A simpler way is to follow this procedure to install the OTA update.
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md
I can't flash TWRP or Magisk Manually i keep getting this message.
Anyway to fix this?
Tabs7+ T970 Wifi
Bootloader Unlocked.
Edit:
Fixed: Installed Magisk Canary and Patched AP file was able to flash It with odin.
