I'm currently running MIUI 8 global dev ROM with officially unlocked bootloader, and there's a new update for it. Problem is, I rooted my phone already and I'm not sure if updating it will get rid of root. Also, twrp doesn't stick for some reason, so it's not very convenient to just flash SuperSU.zip after updating.
Install zcx recovery (search on MIUI forums )..that'll help you to receive ota updates (so you don't have to download and flash the entire ROM all the time ).if you follow the instructions on installing zcx recovery then that twrp will stick ..after that you can install SuperSU after updating ROM .

Hey everyone, I've been using my hox+ rooted for some time now, never flashed a ROM and was wondering if I update to the new att software will I lose root?
Yes. Just make sure you have a custom recovery and flash the root installer zip. Or if you have TWRP, after a the flash, it will ask to install root.
Hey thanks for the response, I'm running twrp 2.4 the thing is I don't know whether to to let the phone update through its regular way of updating or do I flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235248, the problem with flashing this is I don't
Know how to flash boot IMG. Sorry I'm a noob any help would be greatly appreciated.
Use this command in fastboot.
fastboot flash boot /location/of/boot.img
If your bootloader is unlock and your phone has a custom Recovery, the official AT&T update won't install on your phone. If you want the update, or you wait for a custom ROM with the update to be available, or you relock bootloader, and flash the latest RUU to recover the original state of your phone. Then you can still unlock with the same token and install a custom recovery to root your device.
Thanks much fellas, you've been a great help!
I am on Global stable miui 8.2.4 but for some reasons i don't like it and i wanna downgrade to 8.1.15 . I have Twrp installed and rooted . Can i flash recovery 8.1.15 rom using twrp ?
Or i need to flash a fastboot rom using twrp ?
somebody?
I have flashed stock 8.2.4.0 from 8.2.2.0 with flashfire, although I have twrp too. No problems just put the zip in right folder.
Yes you can. I have flashed both dev and stable. @jazzh mentions something about folders. TWRP doesn't really care about that.
Be warned though that flashing the official zip also replaces the recovery and there is a bug with 8.1.15 where you cannot flash TWRP back afterwards.
If you go back to 8.1.15 and want to use TWRP for flashing a custom rom simply use
fastboot boot [recovery name].img
to soft load TWRP and do all your work from there up.
Yes, that's a good advice.
I soft boot twrp whenever performing backup or updating magisk.
I just mentioned folders because flashfire is started from os and it will look into the ota folder and if it finds the zip it will offer rebooting to perform the update.
Well,a lot of people have debranded/to manually install Oreo VTR-L29C432 B360 with the Method proposed...
now,we need a nice/clean tuto for INSTALL TWRP and ROOT with magisk or phh superuser.
Question is... After installing
TWRP: will we get updates/security updates from huawei AFTER flashing twrp ? ... If yes,will they install normally and work like nothing happened
ROOT: about same things as TWRP .... and after installing updates,we loose everything (twrp/root)
cuz bootloader is unlocked.
When i was on Nova Plus, TWRP/ROOTED with phh superuser i couldnt receive any updates at all...I received a n update once (from ROGERS ),dloaded it,let it do its thing,install/reboot (it was an official update OTA) and it always ended in a fail install...even if ive flashed original recovery so.
so many things after twrp/root is installed and receive/install official OTA

To answer you questions, You can receive updates from Huawei even if you are on twrp it just won't install because you need stock recovery for it to complete the installation , that's the reason why when you debrand your phone it installs the stock recovery as part of the process. Second it is possible to root being on Oreo with magisk @Blackball has a tutorial covering that. I'm on Oreo and also I have root and twrp install. Also there are several ways of installing updates one of them is to go back to stock recovery and waot for oficial updates you can also use proxy method with firmware finder as long as the update is approved for your IMEI, anyways there are several tutoriales covering all of this and many other thing just have to look a bit more through the rabbit hole.

I have read basically all the posts here on xda related to this matter. But, being a noob in "rom,kernel, recovery" world, I need to get spoon-fed in some area. Can any kindhearted fellow answer the following questions?
1. I will always use latest official MIUI global beta rom. I need to have the MOST stable custom recovery installed all the time (preferably TWRP official if possible). I want to receive OTA and flash them via custom recovery. Can it be done? if so, what are the MOST hassle-free steps? (want to have root for sum lucky pather action)
2. What are these "encryption", "force disable encryption treble" stand for and what it means for a user like me who wants to run latest Magisk all the time with custom recovery?
3. I can manage to flash OTA and then flash magisk again if needed to maintain root status, is that all I need to do before booting into the new updated and rooted system?
If someone can explain and provide insights, that will be a great help.
1. The most hassle free to do OTA updates is to revert back to stock recovery when the update.zip package is ready to be flashed because
2. Every OTA update in MIUI will encrypt /data partition. (This is Xiaomi's standard data protection). I didn't tried to do OTA updates with Official Twrp but you can try. That is why everyone when trying to flash custom rom, flashing DFE.zip (Disable Force Encryption) will of course disables the system to encrypt data during boot.
3. Magisk has OTA survival script so when there is OTA updates, Magisk will automatically install after OTA update is finished.
I have a Moto E 2015 XT1526 with an unlocked bootloader, and TWRP. After trying many roms I finally settled on the stock rom in the interest of having a reliable phone.
The stock rom I flashed isn't the latest so I get the update nag, what happens if I update using this?
I don't mind if it deletes TWRP or kills root I am just worried it will brick the device.
Don't install a stock ota update if you have TWRP... Device will hard brick!
Some users reported that if you want to get ota updates you had to (if i remember):
- Unroot phone and remove all mods
- Install stock recovery
-Get and install ota
Aftee this you can re-install TWRP and other mods.
