So you have a notification telling you that MIUI has an update available - great! Unfortunately the process in the Magisk OTA Upgrade Guide doesn't work for this phone, for some reason even after "uninstalling" Magisk the updater still refuses to apply the OTA update.
If you have installed a custom recovery then you may be able to apply the update through that, but I'll assume that you've followed this guide to root and are still using the stock recovery.
Updating is a 3 step process:
- Flash updated firmware.
- Patch new boot.img.
- Flash patched boot.img.
We'll be doing a "dirty" flash, which keeps your device storage intact. This should be fine for minor updates, however if the phone won't boot then you'll need to do a clean flash which will wipe your phone, so you should backup your data using a tool like Titanium Backup before proceeding.
Flash updated firmware:
- In the Updater app find the MIUI version that it wants to install (e.g. MIUI-V13.0.8.0.RKEEUXM).- visit the MIUI Updates Tracker and download the matching Stable Fastboot update (if you can't find it read Extract boot.img from Payload below).- unzip the TGZ and the TAR that it contains.- connect your phone and run adb reboot bootloader to enter fastboot.- run the flash_all_except_data_storage.bat script to flash the updated firmware. Your phone will reboot when it's done.- (optional) if your phone won't boot then you'll need to perform a "clean" flash. Enter fastboot again and run the flash_all.bat script (this will wipe your data).
Patch new boot.img
- push the new boot.img to the phone using adb push .\images\boot.img /sdcard (you'll need to have selected "File transfer/Android Auto" in the "Use USB for" prompt on the phone).- in the Magisk App click Install in the Magisk tile, tap Select and Patch a File, select the boot.img file, and tap Let's Go.- pull the magisk_patched-*.img from the phone using adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched-*.img .\.
Flash patched boot.img
- boot into fastboot mode once again using adb reboot bootloader.- flash the patched image using fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-*.img- reboot using fastboot reboot
Happy hacking!
Extract boot.img from PayloadIf you can't find a fastboot image (boot.img) for your version then you might be able to extract it from the full firmware package. This will require the use of a third party tool such as payload-dumper (python) or payload-dumper-go. Note that you may be better off just waiting for the fastboot image to be released to the public.
I found only zip file but where i found the fastboot rom for V13.0.6.0.SKEMIXM?

As mentioned on the other thread, this isn't available yet. I've updated the post to note how you can extract it from the payload file of full firmware .zips, but personally I'd just wait.
I managed to updated to (V13.0.6.0.SKEMIXM) while rooted using the updater app. You are not able to download the update but you can apply the update by choosing the file from local storage and you need to obtain the file from a third party. If you follow Magisk's guide you can keep the root and you don't need a PC

Ich habe es geschafft, auf (V13.0.6.0.SKEMIXM) zu aktualisieren, während ich mit der Updater-App gerootet war. Sie können das Update nicht herunterladen, aber Sie können das Update anwenden, indem Sie die Datei aus dem lokalen Speicher auswählen, und Sie müssen die Datei von einem Drittanbieter beziehen. Wenn Sie der Anleitung von Magisk folgen, können Sie das Stammverzeichnis behalten und benötigen keinen PC

After the update some apps weren't working right so I don't know how successful my method was that's why I haven't respond. It could be that I updated with the de-bloater module on and it may be the reason that everything was messed up. If you want I can tell you what to do but no guarantees

First you need to download the update zip. I used the MIUI Downloader app from play store. Disable all the magisk modules from magisk manager and reboot. Then follow the official Magisk Ota upgrade guide but don't uninstall magisk. You need to enable a secret menu in the updater app to be able to install zips from storage. Just tap the MIUI 13 logo in the middle of the screen multiple times an you are ready. Load the file by opening the menu in the top right corner. Wait for the installation to finish and do not reboot the phone. Go to magisk and install to inactive slot then you can reboot.
Ps. Please backup all your data just in case something goes wrong.

You may be able to "dirty" flash it by following the instructions in the OP, but you should back-up your data in case it doesn't work and you need to fully "clean" flash afterwards.
I started bootlooping (at this point its become a joke to me lol) again right after flashing the patched boot img. Then I remembered from your magisk installation tutorial about this step :
flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
I entered this command and boom I booted back to miui and it has been updated along with magisk running just fine.
I don't know if this happened just to me, but you can add that vbmeta flashing step in your tutorial.
Thanks again!
That's certainly unusual, I have no idea why you'd get a bootloop that can be fixed by flashing the vbmeta! Glad you got it sorted though
Miui 14 has been released for our phones. I was wondering if its the same process for flashing Miui 14, as it's basically flashing a different o.s, from android 12 to android 13.
I'm afraid if my magisk modules may interfere with the update process, which may result in a bootloop and loss of data.
Any insight on this?
Major updates are more likely to fail if you do them "dirty". Just back up your data partition before you start, then you can always flash the old OS and your old data partition if something goes wrong.

I see that u r an xperia survivor, so im gonna explain a few steps.
In HTC, the recovery is not part of the kernel, like sony. HTC has a separate partition where recovery.img is flashed.
Kernel for ROM/OS booting is contained in boot.img and it is flashed in boot partition.
Recovery also contains a copy of kernel (zImage) so it is independant of the boot.img.
To root it, you have to somehow accomplish below steps.
1. Unlock Bootloader for your phone. Go to htcdev.com and search and follow instructions from main page.
2. Reboot phone in "FASTBOOT MODE" and Flash a custom recovery through fastboot.exe tool. Syntax is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Use any available CWM or TWRP (mine). Take care whether you want ICS or JB compatible recovery becoz they work is different.
3. Take a nandroid backup through recovery. (You probably know this as it is same in all phones)
4. Flash a custom ics/jb rom.
5. Reboot phone in FASTBOOT MODE and flash the recommended "boot.img" mentioned in ROMs thread.
Use a little common sense and soon you'll learn doing things the HTC way.

Yasir

You have to chose in bootloader "Recovery"- in Recovery mode (CWM) can you make a backup, not in bootloader
The backup is for cwm
i don't know how many files the backup with cwm had, with TWRP it has 7 files with 1.5 GB
http://tech-lounge.de/nandroid-backup-das-wichtigste-backup-fuer-gerootete-android-geraete/ (german site)
Gesichert wird im Ordner “clockworkmod/backup” auf der SD-Karte und der Dateiname setzt sich aus dem Datum und der aktuellen Uhrzeit zusammen, so dass mehrere Backups parallel abgelegt werden können. Backups haben bei mir allerdings eine Größe von ungefähr 400 MB, also solltet ihr darauf achten, dass ihr genügend internen Speicher zur Verfügung habt.

The Rom in my signature is a full sense rom. mySENSE-dx RC3.5
So now i have rooted my device. Please point me towards a suitable ROM to install and also the procedure...Waiting for reply.
Hello,
i was on EMUI 9 with my BKL-L09 and decided to give the custom roms a new try.
So i backed up my recovery_ramdisk (it was rooted with magisk before) and then flashed twrp (version 3.2.3-3).
Now i went for Wipe>format data and gave it a try. Result: it was hanging after makefs->(..) done. So i done the whole procedure again but it was still hanging.
Now i can't get back into twrp, because only the twrp bootscreen is showing up. Even after restoring my recovery_ramdisk backup with fastboot i can't get back into erecovery Is there anything i can do?
Thanks.
Ok, i solved this by myself through downloading the full ota update, extracting everything and flashing new kernel, system and recovery from ota update contents.
Can you put the CMD lines to do it?
Thank you anyway. I think i have the same problem.

I don't have this smartphone anymore but i remember the following:
1. Download the Full OTA Zip (e.g. here: https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei...-update-for-honor-view-10-download-available/
2. Use the Huawei Update Extractor to extract the partitions from the content in the zip file. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454)
3. Flash the partitions over the existing ones on your V10 using fastboot "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img , ...) - these contents are inside the full ota package
Greetings
Did it work out for you?
You can also try to flash the original erecovery using fastboot und use the download option inside the Recovery App. This will reset all partitions back to default. But also all data is lost.

Ah, So You've rooted your 6.1 Plus/X6 but don't know how to Install stock or having troubles with it? I'm here to help!
*All of the instructions and procedures below requires an unlocked bootloader. If you do not have an unlocked bootloader, Please refrain from asking about it here.
*Not having an unlocked bootloader and following this will definitely brick your phone. You have been warned.
Installing Stock ROM - Method 1A(Nost) --
1. Get NOST from here - NOST

8. Now select, Normal download and Erase User data option.
9. Now click on next and wait for NOST to flash the phone. (It takes 258 seconds or 2.3 - 2.5 minutes on my laptop)
Installing Stock ROM - Method 1B(OST LA) --
Same as NOST, It has the same UI.
Except You might have to change some values in the .mlf file.
An appropriate guide for the same - Here
Installing Stock ROM - Method 2(Hikary's Generic Flashing Script) --
I recommend this method more than NOST and OST LA.

The simplest way I've found to install Stock Rom is just using adb sideload.
Boot into TWRP and wipe as you would with any custom rom.
Go to advanced and adb sideload.
Send the adb sideload command from your computer with the relevant zip file.
Doesn't require any additional softward like NOST or OST....

Go to advanced and adb sideload.
Send the adb sideload command from your computer with the relevant zip file.
Doesn't require any additional softward like NOST or OST....

But does it also install the bootloader and stock recovery back? If yes then I'll add it to the post above.

That's a good question. I've just been using stock and hadn't considered it. How would one check that?

It's easy. Get an OTA .zip file, Re-Boot to recovery and flash it. Or Use the ADB Sideload method.
Most likely installing the OTA would fail if the device is rooted because, Magisk will patch the boot.img.
Then I'll need to wait for another update, the September one, right? Because I installed it with ADB and have Magisk installed so I don't really want to mess with it until I have to.

I just took an OTA with Magisk installed it went fine. (September patch)
OK, then it doesn't seem to work. Trying to follow the steps, the system update gives an installation error. I'm guessing that somewhere along the road I've messed something up, so it seems stock rom and Magisk isn't an option for me.

Restore images before you do anything, If installation fails keep trying again. It happens to me to.

Really? I did the restore via Magisk and that seemed fine, but then the update part didn't work. It downloaded then gave the error so I quit and started again with a fresh installation, minus Magisk.

Have you guys modified the system/vendor partition in any way? If you did, Then it will obviously fail.
@Bluebriz and @Hymix I agree. It's the september security patch causing the installation issue.
It fails for me no matter what, Unless I completely un-root. But this method works perfectly fine on the August update.
Lets see for the October patch.
Okay, I can specifically narrow this down to way the September patch. The september patch requires the August security patch as a precondition to install. And that's where something funky is happening.
Guys a quick update. October update has been released but it also fails to install. This time I've managed to find the cause, Apparently some service that needs to be used for the update is being blocked/used by Magisk. (I could be wrong here)
The error code according to the recovery is 20(kDownloadStateInitializationError)
Is there any update to this issue?
Tried removing Magisk, didn't help.
Yesterday I got November security update ..iam using magisk...so it is showing installation problem...I tried in recovery and ADB method both didn't work.. finally I ended in bootloop ...so I again installed stock ROM...any solution is there without resetting each time how to install security updates..coz each time my data balance was wasted??
This is the root method I used on my A21s.
Must Have: Unlocked Bootloader.
YOU CAN FIND THE FIRMWARE YOU NEED ON SAMMOBILE OR FRIJA. SAMMOBILE WILL SEVERAL VERSIONS FOR YOUR DEVICE, FRIJA WILL ONLY HAVE THE LATEST VERSION.
1. Download the firmware for your device.
2.Load Zarchiver from playstore.
3.Open Zarchiver and locate the firmware you downloaded.
4.Click on the firmware, a menu will appear at the bottom. You will then have option to extract.
5. The only file we need is .AP
6.Click on AP file and rename AP_xxx.md5 to AP_.tar so your just highlighting the file and removing md5 so it only says .tar at the end.
7.Once you have renamed AP file click and again you will be given the option to extract. Once extracted, locate boot.img.lz4
8.Then extract boot.img.lz4 leaving you with boot.img
9.You should have Magisk manager installed on device. Use Magisk to patch the boot.img. once patched locate magisk_patched.img and rename to boot.img
10.Return to Zarchiver locate the patched boot.img and compress to boot.tar.
11. Move compressed boot.tar to computer and rename to boot.img.tar
12.Put device in download mode, open odin 3.14.4 and put the boot.img.tar in AP and click start. Once odin says pass, your device will boot to stock recovery and you will have to do a factory reset so save anything you need before doing this.
13.once device boots reinstall Magisk manager and follow prompts. You should now have a rooted device.
Have Fun.
Can you verify if usb connection is working with this method...i did follow a thread titled "root possibility" and someone succeeded but usb was not working when connected to computer was the only catch.

Since you stressed that need an unlock boot loader device, you can include links of tutorials how unlock the boot loader or how to tell if our bootloader is unlocked. Is it as simple as toggling "OEM UNLOCK" in developer settings? A21s runs Android 10. What version of magisk you recommend to download and to flash? Pics? Screenshots? Videos?
You said magisk manager should be installed in the device to patch the boot, isn't the app will say magisk not installed when we open the manager app? Or we need to do this step using another phone thats rooted with magisk installed?
Thanks a lot for posting this have a nice day
Bro can you post boot.img.tar. Root patched which you are flshed in your phone
And also plz send AP of your phone
Plz bro upload root file.

Download the firmware and Follow the tutorial!
Can you post what magisk manager you used? I followed the procedure exactly amd to be sure that its my firmware i flashed a full sammobile firmware that went smoothly and patched the AP from that. But I end up on a loop of red msg like an error. Is the something i missing ?
what magisk manager version did you use? also why not post the patched file directly here, can you post screenshots that show magisk saying it works?

DONT use this RootMethod.
It is NOT possible until NOW, to root the A21s.
There is NO compatible Magisk and / or TWRP - Version out for the A21s.
This Methode is Bull**** ... There are many Methods on other Websites and YT - Video: ALL are NOT working ... They want only Visitors and Followers.
!!! U CANT ROOT THE A21s NOW !!!

honestly i'd agree with you, but again, i don't think this person is asking for any sort of visitors or views, plus he's not linking anything ( like a youtube video or wesbite)

... again: CURRENTLY U CANT WITH ANY METHODE ROOT A "SAMSUNG - A21S", because there is NO working Magisk and / or TWRP - Version, same with SuperUser etc.
Go on the MAGISK or TWRP Website, u doesnt find a working Version for the A21s. He will send u nothing or Bull**** !
If u try his Methode or use his Bull****, u risk a Break !
U will find many Methodes in WWW, but this all are NOT working Methodes.
If u find one, u will be a Hero for ALL A21s User

hello, i want to tell you that i got a A20 phone a year or so ago and back then it had no root, but i managed to root it with without TWRP ( i never had TWRP on the phone ) and i also rooted it despite everyone saying no method worked, just by patching some files
im going to be honesty with you, i have already forgotten how i did it but i think it can work
i'll try soon

... wenn du deins ANGEBLICH gerootet hast, mach doch mal eine genauen Beschreibung für Alle hier, Schritt-für-Schritt mit exakter FirmwareVersion, welche Version von MAGISK und TWRP (am besten alles mit DownloadLink) gepachter MagiskDatei und am besten noch Screenshots von deinem gerooteten Handy.
Das kannst Du aber nicht, weils Bull**** ist, was Du hier erzählst oder es ein SmartPhone ist, welches Du vor Jahren gekauft hast. Die heutigen A21s lassen sich NICHT rooten, egal, welcher angebliche RootBlödsinn hier oder woanders erzählt wird.
KEINER bietet auch deswegen Links (exakter Firmware zB. exackte Version von TWRP, MAGISK, SU) zum direkten runterladen an, weils auch garnicht geht sondern und sie das wohl auchs elber genau wissen. Sie wollen sich nur interesssant machen und Viewer, Likes auf deren Seiten erreichen usw. Immer nur irgendwelche dummen Beschreibungen, wie man es angeblich machen soll, aber Beweise, das es auch wirklich zum Erfolg führt, hat noch keiner im gesamten Internet gezeigt. Alles LaberTaschen ...
Denn komischerweise schreiben immer viele, das sie es gerrotet haben oder eine Methode die klappt, aber nie sendet einer auch irgendeinen Beweis dazu.
Translation: if you allegedly have rooted yours, make a detailed description for everyone here, step-by-step with the exact firmware version, which version of MARGISK and TWRP (preferably everything with a download link) leased Magisk file and screenshots from your rooted mobile phone. Because strangely enough, many always write that they have redeemed it or a method that works, but nobody ever sends any proof.
