ZE520kl OTA upgrade doesn't work

Hi,
I've downgraded my phone ZE520KL couple months ago but I've forgotten that VOLTE is only available on 7.0...
I've recieved the OTA notification, downloaded the package on the phone, but when it reboots it is going on TWRP & then if I'm rebooting it doesn't continue the upgrade process.
What am I missing? (on my previous phones this wasn't so tricky...) Should I use the Install method directly from TWRP? If Yes on which zip? Is it possible to find the one that I've downloaded directly with my phone?

Same like me before. Have you rooted your phone yet? if yes then try this, it work for me though (Backup your phone is recommended)
1. Download busybox, supersu and no-verity file
2. Using flashfire app, choose flash zip or ota option
3. Add ota 'WW-ZE520Kl-.....'
4. Add firmware 'UL-ASUS-....'
5. Remove tickmark from 'Inject supersu'
And flash, it will reboot but do not boot to system. You must boot to twrp, flash no-verity file, busybox and supersu or your phone will not boot. Then reboot, done.
If this method is helpful, do reply to me
Btw, sorry for my poor english.

Thanks, works wonderfully! Flashfire flashed the new OTAs successfully but the phone didn't then boot (or it bootlooped). A quick Google search led me to your response and the dm-verity file fixed the boot!
I also didn't flash Busybox in case you needed to know and before flashing the OTAs I checked the "Automount" and "Mount systeam as R/W" in Flashfire otherwise the app would just get stuck in a blank screen.
EDIT: WiFI isn't working, tried already deleting the files in /data/misc/wifi, /persist and /data/misc/dhcp as suggested in various threads but still nothing. Anyone know how to fix it before I attempt to do a full backup and wipe?

Deleting files in /data/misc is not helped. Try this:
1. Check your selinux permissive or enforcing. If permissive, you should re-root your phone. Remember to flash busybox too or it will may some crash. Still not working follow step 2.
2. Re-flash the ROM using twrp. No data will be lost. Don't forget to re-root or it will not boot.
3. Try the lastest fw .68 or .75 though someone told that the .28 ota file had issue on wifi.

Reflashing through TWRP worked Although I did it after backing up all the apps and did a factory reset which didn't even fix the wi-fi problem. But then Flashfire is useless if TWRP is capable of flashing OTAs right?

Not really. Since OTA file can't flash through twrp. It really annoying for someone (like me ), so for the easiest way is just flash it using Flashfire, no need to use computer to flash stock recovery .

@vEEGAZ
yep, that's what I've been saying for months. I've never used anything but TWRP to flash my phone. I've downgraded, gone custom and back to stock many times.

I flash OTA's through TWRP every time there's an update.

Yeah that's what I encountered aswell back 2-3 years ago, I remember I couldn't flash any OTAs via TWRP but apparently now you can. That's why I also used Flashfire in the first place but after running out of all options for the wi-fi problem I decided to give TWRP a try et voilà, it worked

I JUST did it....on 1711.75 now. There was no recovery partition update either so I didn't have to reflash TWRP after :good:
I did have a bootloop issue after but fixed that by flashing the no-verity file. I'm not sure if that's related to having magisk installed though.

1. After reflashing rom through twrp, i lost my twrp. Oh, but when i use Flasfire, it isn't lost.
2. Not sure but after flashing ROM your boot will change to normal so it may not related to magisk or supersu. Maybe it beacause of the twrp, i've tried reflash stock recovery once and i can updated it without flash no-verity file though i've installed magisk.

1. You will only lose TWRP if there is a recovery partition update in the stock firmware, yes, but that doesn't happen with every update. I think I read of a way to block it from updating the recovery partition but can't find the article right now. If flashfire works, use it, I just like TWRP for the other features like making and restoring nandroid backups.
2. I dirty flashed the update again through TWRP, verified the bootloop issue and then installed magisk (through TWRP) and it resolved the bootloop issue. No-verify file not required.

1.Ok, i got it.
2. The way using TWRP is keep the root ( root or not boot) and stock recovery is contrary ( can't root but will boot) or just flash custom kernel through twrp (not root required).

simple question :
- you are talking about OTA & Firmware...
I've downloaded again from asus website Version WW-V14.2020.1711.75 (I assume it is the latest firmware). Are you simply giving the example of an OTA that is released post the firmware version I have to install to have the 7.0 base?
Or is it anything that I'm missing...
From your explanations I should only :
- install flashfire
- flash the latest firmware
- boot into TWRP & flash no verity
- reboot the system
Right?

Yep, you can also flash the latest .zip via TWRP instead of using Flashfire, it's 100% working for me. Just REMEMBER to flash the no-verity file otherwise you'll end up in a bootloop.

I have newest oreo fw from asus website. Ive unlocked bootloader with official app. Now i want WTRP and root with magisk. I want to know how to flash updates to get all wroking?
1. Flash TWRP via fastboot?
2. Flash Magisk via TWRP?
3. When update will release i must flash whole fw from asus website with TWRP and then no-verity file to boot?
4. Or can i use flashfire app to flash fw from asus website and then no-verity zip?
What is the best solution to have updated system without use PC? Step by step guide will be great THX

Im confuse.
Im using 1711.75 with magisk 15.3 and twrp 3.2.1.0
I have the full firmware of initial oreo

The safest and true way to flash any ota update without any issues by using stock recovery, don't use twrp or flashfire or any other apps.
follow the steps below:
1. When you are rooted and twrp installed, to getback to full stock boot and recovery without wiping data, flash the latest raw image available. For oreo the latest available one for ze520kl is WW_ZE520KL_15.0410.1712.31_M3.10.47.16_Phone-user.raw.zip.
2. Now flash the ota update available normally via stock recovery.
3. Flash oreo support twrp-3.2.1-0 and magisk zip.
4. Done.
I'm periodically upload the latest available ota update for ze520kl in the ze520kl ota update links thread.
Here is the latest one.

Frustrated - Looking for TWRP flashable Stock rom - No Root - Faulty USB

Hello,
iam now very frutrated trying to unroot my Huawei P8.
Searched the net again and again ending on tons of crappy blogs with unusual information :-/
My Problem :
I have a Huawei P8 (Not that dumb "lite" )
The USB Port is faulty, so no ADB is aviable.
The Phone was on B370 and i used crappy Kingroot to install TWRP. This worked and i have a functional TWRP.
I tryed to unroot the phone for Safetyet by installing Magisk to get rid of Kingroot. This didnt worked (ERROR 1 insufficient partition sice at flashing boot.img)
I found a B370 Stock prerooted (FF) here and flashed it with TWRP. This worked and i got rid of Kingroot.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/development/rom-huawei-p8-stock-b370-prerootet-t3421507
But i need a unrooted B370 Rom to pass Safety Net Check.
I tryed to unroot with the preinstelled SuperSu, but this didnt work.
The B370 non FF in the linked post is no longer aviable on MegaNZ
So i tryed to flash the system partition from a unrooted Rom. I extracted the system.img from the update.app and created a flashable zip.
But the phone hangs on the first bootscreen and doesnt pass to the boot animation.
Does anyone know, how to unroot the phone without USB by KEEPING TWRP ?
Greetings Chris

OTA updates for rooted L29 P10+ ... without losing data

I have a rooted (With magisk) L29 P10+...So I have tried direct OTA update from EMUI...downloads and on reboot goes to TWRP. I tried using Firmware Finder and same thing happens (with and without proxy). I then tried uninstalling Magisk (root) and trying again but that did not work.
What I would like is top go to the newest OTA update so I don't keep getting the NAG message of my need to update...but MOST IMPORTANTLY...I do not want to have to redo my phone, i.e. data and layouts with folders. Is it possible? I cannot seem to find a link for the p10+...I kind of see one for the Honor and TWRP install but I do not want to corrupt and have to start from scratch.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have same issue. Did you get this resolved?

Well. i guess you have to:
a) install original recovery (may get one from update file or from forum, i saw download links here) with fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdis.img
b) install update
c) install twrp with fastboot
d) install magisk from twrp
actually, there's this thread, which worked for me also. https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/how-to/flash-stock-updates-twrp-installed-t3819734

Rooting with official rom?

Hi fellows
I wanted to root my Mi 9T, but I don't want to flash a custom rom, I just want to have root on the official rom (global stable).
As I understand, the correct procedure is:
-unlock nootloader
-flash twrp
-flash magisk
But I have a couple of doubts about this, in particular about updates:
-If my phone is unlocked and I have root, will I still receive official updates from xiaomi?
-if yes, do they install via twrp? Do they fail installation? Do I loose root/bootloader unlock if I install them on unlocked/rooted phone?
-if no, is there an alternative way to install updates without losing root every time?
In other words, what is the best way to have a rooted phone but with official, up-to-date rom? (I have no problems downloading/installing updates manually, but having to reapply root every time would be annoying)

As I know you could receive updates if you unlock your bootloader and flash magisk, I don't have experience with that, I've read that from other brands people do this and still get their updates.
If I'm wrong correct my.

• You will receive the ota but it won't install
• You'll have to install the full rom and reflash Magisk everytime
• Orange Fox recovery can install ota BUT not available for Mi 9T/K20

I'm not sure about Mi 9t (have to wait for bootloader unlock), but it was so on Redmi 3s: I can install OTA updates, it goes through TWRP, but after every update I have to flash Magisk.
It was several years ago, so probably they've changed something

Thanks for your replies guys.
I can now confirm (just tested) that to update a rooted mi9t all you have to do is this:
-flash update zip with twrp (you have to download the update zip from somewhere, like mifirm website, the one downloaded by the update tool is encrypted and won't work!)
-flash magisk
-reboot
Very simple! No need to reflash magisk modules, just the magisk base package and everything works as expected ?

First TWRP that came out (LR Team), but that is because it was the only one available at the time, there might be better ones out now, check the TWRP thread for more info.

I think it is more simple to do the update and reflash magisk instead of searching for the update package manually, isn't it?

You mean flash the fastboot rom using a computer and then reinstall twrp and magisk?
Seems more convoluted to me, since you still need to download the rom from an external website and additionally you need a pc and you need to reflash twrp every time.... it'll probably work fine, but it seems more complicated to me

Nah, I mean you flash the update you get the usual way. And then magisk afterwards. At least I've never lost twrp with OTA updates.

You mean the one downloaded through the miui updater? I can't flash that with twrp, it's encrypted. In fact, I can't even open the zip file with file manager, it says the file is corrupted. How do you decrypt/use it?

Few days ago I got OTA update while having magisk root and TWRP installed. It rebooted phone into TWRP and installed itself through TWRP. So it seems Xiaomi can now detect what recovery you are using and instead send you recovery OTA instead? Sadly I lost TWRP and root this way and needed to find newer TWRP (old one didnt boot and caused bootloop). Rom also didnt boot (after flashing new TWRP) until I flashed magisk.

Thank you all, it's nice to find this post before I create a new with the same questions.
I bought a new "Mi 9t", it received the latest OTA update, and it has been unlocked after waiting 170 hours.
MIUI Version: MIUI Global 10.3.11 Stable
Android Version: 9 PKQ1.190302.001
Model Name: M1903F10G
Now I need to root it without flashing twrp, I need to be on the Stock recovery because I don't want to lose the OTA update.
I ran this command :
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot boot recovery.img
Downloading ‘boot.img’ OKAY [ 1.404s]
booting OKAY [ 0.127s]
Finished. Total time: 1.560s
but the device reboot to MI-Recovery 3.0, can someone correct me if I'm wrong? also which twrp version support MIUI Global 10.3.11 Stable?

Weird, I tried that (downloading update from the updater app and rebooting to twrp to auto-flash it), but TWRP said update was corrupted. I had to download an unencrypted version from mifirm site to flash it with twrp.
Maybe it's a problem with the version of twrp? Which one are you using? I'm using the one from LR Team

oh I wish I knew After update when I went to flash back old twrp and magisk it resulted in bootloop so I was flashing all twrp I could find just to make them boot and then be able to flash magisk. However name of my file is "recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0607-REDMI_K20-CN-wzsx150" I think its "fixed" chinese one.

Is "recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0607-REDMI_K20-CN-wzsx150" support for MIUI Global 10.3.11 Stable?
Can I boot from it to root Mi 9T without flashing?

[Help] Be able to install OTA with loosing Root and Data

Hi,
I have a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Global with :
- Bootloader unlocked
- TWRP v3.3.1-0 (lastest)
- Magisk Manager v7.5.1 (lastest)
- Magisk v20.4 (lastest)
So I am rooted and want to keep it (with my data). ^^
Problem: I am still on MIUI v10.3.3.0 and can't install OTA because it makes me reboot on TWRP
I found some different posts like :
Link: https://www.the***********.com/install-ota-update-rooted-android-device-guide/
-> It doesn't work for me because I don't have the A/B partition (message from Magisk when I tried to flash it) and I don't have the "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" option...
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/guide-easiest-to-root-twrp-t4000209
-> I don't know if I have to do it, and when? (if needed, I have the boot.img of my current Global v10.3.3.0)
It seem I have to restore my stock recovery?
-> I see how to do it from TWRP, but I don't have the recovery.img file
How can I install OTA without lose my root and my data?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards.

You can keep TWRP and Magisk module, you will only need to patch the boot image and install it from TWRP to regain root after the OTA
- Download full Recovery/zip package 2.4 GB for your MI/IN/EU/RU you currently have with MIUI 10
- Flash that zip from TWRP (Install, zip)
- Reboot to TWRP, not to Android, otherwise you will loose TWRP
- Backup Boot in TWRP
- Reboot to Android. You shouldn't have lost your apps and settings. Magisk Manager will be there but no root
- From Magisk Manager take Install, keep Preserve AVB and Preserve Encryption (first two) but UNCHECK Recovery mode
- Choose to Patch image and navigate to the Boot backup you just made in TWRP, boot.emmc.win, 128 MB
- Reboot to TWRP, take Install, Image (not zip) and navigate to magisk_patched.img in Download
- Upon installing keep in TWRP and Wipe Dalwik and Cache, ONlY
-Reboot to Android - you will have root, your previous modules, rooted apps, all
PS: Doing OTA from System Update requires stock Recovery - that's why it reboots for you to TWRP and fails.
To be able to do OTA that way, you would need to first flash back your stock Recovery.
Then OTA update will fail and you wouldl have to force Full OTA.
At the end, you would also loose root - hence the above procedure is simpler, you even don't need PC, you will keep TWRP and you will only need to patch and install the patched boot image to regain root

Hi and thank you @zgfg,
So if I correctly understand, to be able to make OTA without losing my data and restore root, I have to :
1. Install stock ROM
-> When I did it on previous phone, I always lose everything, so are you sure?
2. Restart in TWRP (to not lose it)
3. Backup boot via TWRP
4. Go in Magisk Manager, and check "keep Preserve AVB" and "Preserve Encryption", but uncheck "Recovery mode"
5. Click on "Install" and choose "Patch image", then selected the boot image previous made with TWRP
6. Reboot in TWRP to install (image, not zip) this file created in the 5.
7. Wipe Dalvik and Cache
8. Enjoy
I found the following link on mi.com to allow me to download the Global v10.3.3.0 (zip and tar.gz) :
Link: https://c.mi.com/thread-2459743-1-0.html
Is it the good one?
Can I simply extract the boot.img of the file downloaded in the 1. and go directly to the 4. ?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards.

In the first post you said that you already have v10.3.3.0 and that you want to update
Hence why would you now download v10.3.3.0 - you should download v11 (supposidely), that the same newer version that OTA offers you
Yes, you can extract boot.img from that newer MIUI (v11) that you will download and flash but that requires PC - in my instructions you simply use TWRP and make backup of the boot image upon you do update
By extracting boot.img from v11 you will not save any step, you still must flash its zip (not tgz) from TWRP and you must nevertheless reboot to TWRP first
---
By flashing OTA zip (full, 2.4 GB) from TWRP, you should not loose your data and apps. I did it with Mi 9T (not PRO - you are not on the PRO forum) but things must work the same way for PRO for Global or EU (you must update to the same Global, EU, Indian, Russian as you already have, just fownload the same newer version that OTA offers you)

Hi back,
Yes, I am in Global (EU) v10.3.3.0 and I should want to use OTA (first I have, it is to go on v10.3.4.0, and I guess, I will have more after until v11).
So I can use directly v11 one?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards.

Better follow what OTA gives you. Find and download Recovery/zip for that Global v10.3.4.0 and install as suggested.
Later similarly follow the version numbers the same way as they come by OTA
