OTA update on unlocked and rooted device - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

I have a well working Note 7 with unlocked and rooted 10.3.5.0 Global PFGEUXM (TWRP recovery and magisk).
Today I got the OTA notification to update ROM to 10.3.6.0.
What I will lose if I update?
What's the best way to proceed?
Thank you

Nothing will be lost from a regular OTA Just check around for any bugs or problems that other people are having if any? And update if you like.

You have to download the full rom then go to twrp and wipe cache and dalvik flash the rom and magisk without reboot to system. After the flash of magisk you can reboot to the system. If you don't flash magisk before rebooting MIUI overwrite the twrp with the stock recovery and you have to reinstall twrp with fastboot

If you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete from the rom zip the file compatibility.zip

Thank you very much darhma.
Should I reflash Disable_Dm-Verity before magisk?

You're welcome. I don't think it's needed the disable_dm-verity (but also i don't think that's a bad thing if you reflash it). If you want to thanks somebody in xda forum just press the thanks button (the ok button).

Hi!
I am new here so please don't be angry for my next questions
I just want root my Redmi Note 7 and keep OTP updates.
I read so many threads and this is my conclusion:
First I must apply for unlocking bootloader. Then flash TWRP recovery from here. After this flash Magisk through TWRP and that is it!
When phone notifies me that there is a new software update, I must download recovery rom from here, put it in internal memory, flash it and flash immediately Magisk again (flashing Magisk is mandatory after every software update to keep root).
Can anybody confirm that this is right way?
Thank You in advance.

Can I do that in TWRP or I must unpack rom on computer and pack it as zip again?

I think that you can do that from twrp but i'm not 100% sure. From computer you don't need to unpack and repack, just open the zip with 7zip or unrar (i'm on linux and don't know which program you use for zip files) and delete the file

I'm getting Error: 7 and am unable to update through TWRP on Redmi Note 7. Anyone else facing this?

Are you sure you downloaded the right rom? Error 7 is a mismatch of the firmware

Just come to say that everything went fine.
I didn't need to wait for unlock bootloader. I bought phone 2 weeks ago and using it normally and when I start unlock procedure it unlock without waiting time (I saw that someone must wait 720 hours!!).
I flash twrp and magisk (I had fingerprint lock so after flashing I did data erase) and now I have rooted phone

So, I have a my Redmi Note 7 keeps telling me that there is a new update which is V10.3.10.0.PFGMIXM
I didn't want to install it since I was happy with my phone. But now the notification is not going away and it is always there. So I tried to install it from OTA but since my phone is unlocked and has TWRP on it, the update can't be installed.
My questions are:
- Should I download the rom and flash it through TWRP?
- How should I flash it without being have to make a factory reset? Is it posible not to loose any data? And if so, is it bad to flash it just like that?
- There is a kernel which is called EVIRA that I want to flash, too. So the order should be:
Rom + Kernel + Minsk, is that correct?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: There are 2 versions of the new rom:
Recovery Rom and Fastboor Rom.
https://c.mi.com/thread-2432115-1-0.html
What is the difference? Which one should I download?

1) download the full recovery rom
2) reboot to twrp
3) wipe dalvik art/cache and cache
4) flash the rom, the kernel and magisk in this order. Don't reboot to system until you have flashed magisk
5) reboot to system
6) enjoy
If you get a compatibility error when flashing the rom just delete the file compatibility.zip from the rom zip

Is updating ota with full recovery rom via twrp erase internal data or installed app?

[METHODS][Getting Back] to STOCK ROM after flashing Custom roms

This is fully a noob helping guide , Am just trying myself to help noobs instead of explaining them each time .
Method 1 :
Make a twrp backup soon after unlocking boot loader .
Am not going to explain how to unlock bootloader and also twrp flashing ,you can search different threads available in the same section .
Soon after unlocking bootloader , Just boot twrp before flashing it .
This can be done this way , Once you unlocked bootloader .
Upon firstboot ,just goto developer options and enable USB debugging and then Open the folder where you had setup minimal fastboot (Mfastboot v2 google for it) . You should have it as you can't unlock bootloader without minimal fastboot .
In any empty space in minimal fastboot exrracted folder , just press shift+right click and select "Open command prompt here" .
Now copy twrp recovery to Mfastboot folder .
Connect your phone to PC.
In command prompt type the below command
adb reboot bootloader
Hit enter ,
Now your phone reboots to bootloader .
Now type this command .
mfastboot.exe boot twrp.img
(Just rename the recovery to twrp.img before flashing )
Now just take a backup and keep it safe somewhere to access when required .
This is easy , but many may loose their twrp backup for some reasons or forgot to take a backup before stepping to custom ROMs , move to Method 2 if your in such group .
Method 2:
Download update.app from official site .
Extract and put dload folder in root of sdcard .
Power off the phone and press vol up+ vol down and power .
It will now fully flash stock ROM with all stock files .
(This method requires stock recovery so keep in mind to flash stock recovery before trying to update as twrp can't perform these tasks )
Method 3:
Its not hard and not easy too but you required to download some tools .
Huawei update extractor tool (google for it)
Once downloaded open the tool and choose the path where you placed update.app in your PC .
Now the tool opens update.app .
Extract system.IMG and boot.IMG from update.app
Put them in the minimal fastboot folder.
Boot your phn to fastboot using command adb reboot bootloader .
Now connecting your phone to PC in bootloader mode , type the below commands
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe reboot
That's it you are on stock ROM.
Method 4:
Flash the stock rom flashable zip posted by devs in your device specific threads and flash it .
Fully for noobs : METHOD 5:
Download the twrp backup posted in device specific threads and put it in sdcard and restore it. Its easy though .
Now your device is ready for flashing official updates "if you get them"[emoji14].
i try every method here and i found myself anytime with modaco custom rom in name build its normal ? ( sorry for my bad english )

Cache & Cust partitions need wiping and reflashing. Had the same issue when I reverted a Modaco rom back to stock.
Easiest method for L21 users is to flash this stock ROM: http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/377002-r3-custom-rom-starter-template-honor-5x-kiw-l21-b130/ then replace TWRP with the stock recovery image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/repository-honor-5x-file-depot-t3328288
yes, the rom says "custom rom starter template" but it's the stock B130 UK ROM repackaged into a flashable ZIP. Much easier than messing around extracting system images.
---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
I should mention one thing. If you have gone back to stock after a custom ROM then you may find the internal storage partition is the wrong size. Just do a full factory reset from Settings to resolve this.

Yes, if you just flash that rom then you'll be fully restored to stock, but with TWRP still in place. If you flash the stock recovery.img after then this will put the phone completely at stock and you should be able to apply future updates as the rom is completely untouched.

All the TWRP Backups in my Back to stock Guide include stock recovery
And also using the dload/update.app method does not delete your data but it will replace your custom recovery / boot.img and you can take OTA update afterwords

Hi I went from Cm13 to stock with emui 2.0 by restoring my twrp backup before I flashed my first huawei gr5 custom rom.
Now i am trying to restore back to stock rom to fully use OTA updates. Here's what I Did:
1. Restore twrp backup (emui 2.0 not rooted)
2. Flash system img and boot.img via adb using img file from update.app also by using update extractor.
Now i realized that im still in twrp. Do i need to flash recovery img first? Then can i do updates without problem? Or do i need to use the update.app via dload updating too?

I was trying to flash official lineage os downloaded from official website through twrp but ended up with an error i can't figure out what to do of. i am uploading screenshot of twrp. help.
Are you coming from Cos 12.1 ?
Than you need to flash ZUI 2.5 ROM first or cm-13 ROM .
Because even if you flash nogout some problem like sim1 will stay always active and sim2 will be greyed out.

Error 7 is caused by the custom recoveries. It occurs both on CWM and TWRP. Just wipe the whole phone and via ADB boot it to recovery (Command 'adb reboot recovery' -- without quotes.) Then copy the ROM to internal storage and now flash. It will work like a charm.

Huh? How will that help? Why do need a 6.0 M ROM before you flash nougat? You can't dirty flash Lineage. It'll end in a boot loop. You have to wipe and flash. So how will the ROM that was installed before influence nougat flash?

Moto X pure Boot only recovery

Good Morning everybody,
so yesterday was a rough day and when it eventually end i recive the october security update on the phone, without thinking i installed it and the phone does not boot up , instead i face my recovery (TWRP 3.1.1-0).
Of course i've made a mess because i was on stock rooted 7.0 on my retEU XT1572 phone with unlocked bootloader and status 3
i've tryed to restore a previous nandroid backup wihtout success, so today i downloaded the new RESURRECTION REMIX v5.8.4 (4 december wich is based on stock android 7) but i have no luck even with that...
Do i miss something?is there any rom to try with now? or i have to make a downgrade of my firmware to make it work again?
thanks in advice!
UPDATE:
phone boot now but always in recovery and after rebooting in bootloader i can reboot system from there.. it seems that if you download an update and the install process doesen't go in place every time you restart the device it always try to re-flash it, that's why i'm always in recovery.. i foun a similar post with this solution but i think it need some changes before it will work on our device (but i don't have the knowledge to set it right :S )
LAST UPDATE:
boot fixed by using this command in twrp recovery
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/misc
misc file running at the startup redirecting the boot in the recovery, put blank in the file let the system boot up normally
You missed very much.
Here is stock RetEu, before october update:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/stock-xt-1572-reteu-7-0-ddumped-files-t3712521
Wipe all with twrp and flash all. After it you can get OTA's.

oh thanx man! i've already seen that post but i wasn't sure that it can work for me. i have some question befor starting:
1) i need the new twrp 3.2 to flash resurrection-remix? because as i mention before i've already tried to flash it with twrp 3.1 and it doesen't work (the rom is the same that you linked page40 post #397 )
2) do i have to flash stock-xt-1572-reteu-7-0-ddumped-files before point 1)?

1. I think so. 3.2.x will be needed for future builds.
1a. You flashed RR for MM modem.
2. No, but this is only way to get ota update.
"swearing in italian" it was a twrp bug.. after a backup restore if you hit restart the phone restart in recovery, you need to boot into bootloader and reboot system from there -.-
thanks to all of you guys!!
strange fact, now if i turn off the phone and again on i'm still on recovery, i have to reboot bootloader and system from there.
i think something is pointing at the recovery instead system..
edit: it seems that if you download an update and the install process doesen't go in place every time you restart the device it always try to re-flash it, that's why i'm always in recovery.. i foun a similar post with this solution but i think it need some changes before it will work on our device (but i don't have the knowledge to set it right :S )
Ota update didn't end.
I think you can try clear data & cache otaupdate app and disable it. Link2sd can help with it. @Husky34

thanks, this command just saved me. but misc file in my XT1575 is under
/dev/block/platform/0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/misc
but now I can't check system update in the OS anymore, I think flash back factory recovery mine help. Do you know where to download stock 7.0 recovery for 1575?
Edit: found it for 1575 here.

you can also use link2sd to disable the update app so it doesn't bother you,
or wait untill someone create a zip of the update and flash it into recovery.
thanks, that worked for me as well.

Error when installing new rom

So Ive been trying to install multiple different pie roms and each one gives me error 7 during the install with twrp.
Ive updated twrp to the newest 3.2.3, I read that could be the issue.
I was using nolimits rom but due to no future updates I wanted to try something different.
Im sure its something simple, but I cannot seem to find any resources.
I even tried deleting the assert lines in the rom zip, still same error.
Im at a complete loss.
I just put nolimits back on it so I at least have a working phone.
Any info is appreciated

Please post your question only once https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/updating-to-beta-22-t3879346/post78437012
Please answer some questions:
Which twrp (file name)?
Which xXx rom(file name)?
Decrypted or encrypted storage?
Which rom do you want to install (exact steps)?
Sorry for the double post, Ive been super frustrated with it.
Right now im running twrp 3.2.3.0 from the twrp website, I have tried codeworkx with no change.
I was trying multiple different roms, but for the sake of troubleshooting I was trying PixelExperience Cheeseburger 9.0
Most of the installs attempted have been through twrp so Im guessing decrypted.
And I was following the steps on the roms thread.
Factory wipe, delvik and data, then attempt the install.

Decrypted or encrypted storage? Which rom do you want to install now? Please use latest codeworkx recovery.
Which xXx rom exactly you're coming from(file name)?
Ok, I am coming from xXx_NoLimits_12.0_OP5_Oxygen_5.1.3_full and Id love to install OxygenOS Open Beta 22 Full
I can certainly install the codeworkx recovery if needed.
How can I tell if I am encrypted or not? Ive always just left things as default
Btw thanks for your help

Just follow instructions in first post for clean installation, make sure you made backups: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-beta-1-android-oreo-t3710003
Encryption means, you cannot access your internal storage without entering a pin when starting twrp or accessing the devices memory from outside.
So Ive followed the new install instructions from start to finish, and I cannot get past the OS flash.
Continuing to receive error 7.
Also receiving cannot mount /vendor as well

For the error 7 make sure you downloaded the correct files, without download issues(maybe use checksum). have you removed compatibility.zip from the OB22 rom zip with either 7zip or total commander?
For vendor partition error try to mount vendor partition within twrp manually, if there's no checkbox, you need to flash what I suggested you here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/updating-to-beta-22-t3879346/post78437012
Earlier open betas created this vendor partion. You can try with OB13.
I have same problem, except I tried to fix it by flashing OB19 firmware and radio zip. Now when I boot the recovery I don't get "no vendor partition" and the bootloader unlocked error, but when I try to flash ANY rom (stable 5.1.4 /open beta 19 / PIE ), the system and vendor partitions would patcg unconditionally, but I get no OS error and the device reboots to recovery. Please help.
Ps: I have magisk and TWRP 3.2.3, and tried both clean flashing and dirty flashing. the unlocked bootloader error changed even after restoring the NAND backup. I had already removed the compatibility zip from the Pie zip. I tried blu spark and codeworx versions of twrp 3.2.3

Same as my answer above. Oneplus published every open beta as an update(even when it's a full rom) of the previous version hence when your last open beta was 10 and you want 22 you missed several in between(this was an example!).
FINALLY got it all to work.
Apparently I had issues with the firmware, had to go back and install codeworx 15.1 firmware, after that it seems to be good to go.
THANK YOU Strongst.

How did you fix it? Can you explain what you mean by codeworx firmware? Could you provide link for file or guide?
This is the firmware from Codeworkx
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ch...firmware/firmware_5.1.7_oneplus5.zip/download.
You might have to go to an older version of twrp as well, just to get this installed.

Which twrp version and developer? And after this can I flash Pie directly or should I install something before it? Did you dirty flash or did you use clean install? Sorry for too many questions but I tried it many times and am frustrated that it didn't work, but you fixing it gives me hope.

What exactly means "failed"? Which error? Screenshot maybe? And from which oxygenOS you tried to update?
Also you need to flash magisk after flashing oxygenOS to make twrp sticky. Also a format of internal storage may be necessary to solve a boot problem.
The Unlocked Bootloader Warning screen is normal cause it's a warning when you unlock your bootloader, if it changed, it's due to changes made by oneplus some time ago, they changed it.
I was able to flash pie directly after updating the firmware.
twrp 3.2.3 should work

By failed I mean that I would wipe the system partition for clean flash, install the ROM zip, which would run but say patching system and vendor partitions unconditionally, then when I want to reboot it says warning no OS. Continuing to reboot gets me automatically back to recovery.
I tried updating from xXx 5.1.2
