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'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 .
I am on MPL24.246.20 (i know its old, but I cannot find a later one for MM for X1650-03).
Anyway, after I unlocked the bootloader, I booted TWRP to back everything up - that worked great.
My next step will be to flash TWRP and then I want to root it.
It seems like all these threads have instructions to root N, but I prefer to stay on MM for now .
Which Root should I flash and what about the kernel? - can I just flash root or does the kernel need to be updated also?
Any help are highly appreciated, thanks.
Update:
I got it to work. I flashed TWRP from Fastboot and then installed SU. ON my third attempt I was successful and discovered that Chainfire's SuperSU from the play-store is not working (it did install but immediately told me to update the code - that process failed). I rebooted, re-installed SU from TWRP and then went back into playstore and download phh's superuser. That seems to work just fine.
SU requests are being satisfied and I'm a happy camper with MM on MotoZ.
Thanks.
Hey I just picked up this phone and decided I would like to maximize it to its fullest potential, and root it as I have done with previous phones. This ones giving me a hard time, and I just can't seem to find the proper info for it.
I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP 3.1.1 and want to gain root access. I have followed several guides, used every possible one-click unsuccessfully, and tried installing SuperSU with TWRP. After I reboot, SuperSU is installed. I'll open it up and it tells me the binaries are occupied. I've tried downgrading and updating the binaries but I get errors. (I believe this is because it must be rooted first - of course.)
So I'm stuck unable to get any further. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Is this phone with this configuration unrootable? There must be a way if I have recovery right?
Asus Zenfone 4 Z01KD/ZE554KL
Android Nougat 7.1.1 - 14.1060.1708.63 (NOT 1708.70)
TWRP 3.1.1 installed
One thing I have not tried is using Magisk. When I try it, it stops because I already patched with SuperSU (even though it failed). I never backed up before I did it with SuperSU I really thought it would work.
I read of people doing it with Magisk after updating to Oreo. I want to give that a try but I can't OTA or flash from TWRP. All attempts result in error 7.
I can't find a stock recovery to flash to do the update either. Is there a way to undo this, OTA and repatch with Magisk? Even if I don't bother updating, I would like to find a stock image to flash so I can try patching with Magisk.
Stock rom recovery.img anywhere? Am I alone?
i dont own this device but i read this and it might apply to you. also did you flash the supersu uninstaller and them try magisk?

I installed TWRP and Magisk, and I received OTA update, but with custom recovery, the phone can't install it, (it just reboots to TWRP when you press update).
I've read that you can install updates via TWRP but I am not sure from where to download the updates as currently, the official Xiaomi page is down, I presume because of the MIUI 10 update...
You can re-install the stock recovery and maybe unroot the phone and then try again, at least that's what i've read on other forums, but didn't test it myself yet.

Yes, although we still receive OTA update package from MIUI host, we can't update OTA with TWRP recovery for rosy at present. TWRP hasn't supported ota incremental update zips yet. We need some one can build RedWolf Recovery for rosy to have OTA incremental update supported
Yes u will receive update but u have to flash it via TWRP
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.
