Hi, I have a european S8+ fully rooted and with TWRP.
Everything's working great so far but I read somewhere that I won't receive further OTA updates.
Can I install them manually with TWRP?
If yes, 3 questions:
1. Where can I get them?
2. Do I need every single update or are the newest update always containing the older updates as well?
3. Do I lose root or TWRP after installing an update?
I've rooted with Magisk by the way.
Typically if you're rooted and modified the system partition (BusyBox or twrp or whatever) the update will not install in stock recovery. Usually you have to unroot reinstall stock recovery and flash ota. There's toolkits out that can do that. Or you can just find an awesome rom like a rooted debloated rom thats just recently updated and just flash that. Or you can what till somebody snags the ota update location then posts that.
Hi guys! I'm on stock rom Nougat, since i installed magisk i'll always get error when i tried to update my phone from Update setting (samsung things...).
But when i installed Xposed and especially a module known as Firefds which set fake system status to "Official" (it was "Custom"), when i go back to check for a new update i found this (attachement).
So what do you think guys? Should i update? Maybe its November security patch...
But i don't want to lose twrp, magisk and all the stuff !!
This update didn't includes November patch so far I know. This will be listed in the patch notes for sure.
If you install the OTA update...this will end not well I think. You will running in an unstable system because of root, twrp etc. This update will replace files which are eventually needed and so on.
I suggest you flash stock rom with odin, then install the update then re-root and re-flash twrp. Yes it is annoying, but its better to be safe than sorry

What about flash this update using FlashFire and keep twrp & magisk? I saw it in many other phones

You can of course do so...but my experience is that such methods will not end well. Do it like @zzThrain wrote it and download firmware from SamMobile with DQJ3 and reflash twrp and re-root to be sure that your system don't come unstable.
Any chance for OTA updates with Magisk only (without Xposed, etc.)?
If there is no chance - is there a place to download only monthly security updates - since full firmware versions (found at sammobile) are at least 10x times larger than the monthly updates?
As mentioned in the title, I just got the Oreo update with the January patch. I'm currently running Nougat (December Patch) with just Magisk installed.
I have 2 questions :
1. If I end up installing this OTA, will it succeed?
2. If it does install, will the phone bootloop on reboot?
I don't mind doing a factory reset but I've read that has lead to people losing the OTA.
Also, I don't have TWRP installed. I just booted into TWRP to install Magisk so I can't uninstall it.

I was wondering the same thing. I've read the github link but im not sure if I should update like it is explained in there, especially since it's a new android version and not just a regular security patch. Should we follow it anyway? Im not too familiar with A/B partitions.
I have follow the GitHub way to make ota, but my uninstall magisk restore images have fail,show stock backup does not exist!what can I do now.

Did you install magisk via twrp?
After trying the A-B method (uninstall/restore image) I have an error message at second step of the Jan security patch installation. I'm not sure what's the process, don't want to go into bootloop. Cheers
Hey guys,
My G5+, which is running NPN25.137-83, rooted with Magisk, TWRP, Xposed just prompted me for an OTA update.
I'm guessing if i try to update i'll (best case scenario) break something, worst case brick my phone.
I'm running Aug2017 security patch.
This OTA update says it includes Security updates till Nov2017 + Stability improvements.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Do not apply the update, it will end up failing as you have TWRP installed, but every time you restart your phone, it will boot to TWRP and then you'll have to reboot from TWRP to bootloader and then system. Anyways, I recommend waiting until the OP of the TWRP flashable stock thread updates the links with that update and then flash the update via TWRP. Make sure you go into developer options and turn off automatic updates. You can also use an app to freeze Motorola update service if you don't want to be notified about the update.

Per the TWRP flashable stock thread guide, I downloaded the OTA and shared the zip there
Thanks @jeffsga88! I will disable automatic updates to avoid any accidents.
I rooted my phone and use magisk modules too. New update appeared, am I safe to install it OTA? Will I lose root or magisk if I update?

The update won't go through and you will encounter an installation problem error. Revert back to the stock boot.img of your security patch month (e.g. January, Feb patch) and then try the OTA and you should be able to update.
Google "how to apply OTA with Magisk" if you haven't touched the system partition. But no it is not safe, I bootlooped.
It is safe. OTA updates system partition. Magisk uses boot partition.
In other hand if you ever mounted system as read AND WRITE even if you didn't make any change to it the OTA will fail.
OTA also will fail if detects boot partition modification, what means you'll have to temporally restore boot (uninstall Magisk) to update and then reinstall it. You'll find how to in this forum.
