Method that worked for me (Fi Pixel3 (blueline), on Nov update, previously rooted via Magisk 17.3 Patch Boot Image File method) has been posted elsewhere & doesn't require TWRP installation. This assumes your device is already OEM Unlocked, has Developer Options/USB Debugging enabled/setup and you have the latest ADB/Drivers installed on your PC:

Download Dec Factory image (blueline-pq1a.181205.006)

Download TWRP 3.2.3-0 bootable image (twrp-3.2.3-0-blueline.img)

Download Magisk 17.3 zip

Download Magisk Manager 6.0.1 APK

Download Magisk Uninstaller (Canary)

Move TWRP bootable image file to ADB folder on PC (Win7 for me)

Unzip Dec image contents into ADB folder on PC

Find the Dec Boot.img file from extracted Dec image contents and copy it to Device Storage (Download folder)

Move Magisk Manager APK & Magisk Uninstaller zip to Device Storage (Download folder)

Modify the flash-all.bat file from the extracted Dec image contents location in Notepad (remove the -w) and save/overwrite the file back to the same directory & close Notepad

Open up command window from ADB folder on PC

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blueline.img​

"Install" the Magisk Uninstaller zip (via TWRP) wait for that to finish then reboot to bootloader.

(Re)Open a command window from your PC's ADB folder if you closed it.

flash-all (with the -w previously removed in Notepad). Wait for it to finish.

fastboot reboot (if it doesn't boot back to System once finished)​

(Now in Android after 1st system boot) Check that Dec update has taken (Settings->System->About Phone->Build Number). No root.

To continue rooting Dec Image:

Install Magisk Manager APK (from Settings->Storage->Files->Download folder)

Open MM (ignore/dont install anything via MM if prompted). No root (as of yet).

In MM: Settings->Update Channel-> Change to "Beta"

Swipe down in MM to "Update" MM and "Install" v17.3 (17302.zip hotfix) via Patch Boot Image File method (using Dec Boot.img previously extracted and put into Device Storage (Download folder)).

Output Patched_Boot.img should now be located in Device Storage (Download folder).

Copy Patched_Boot.img file from Device Storage to ADB folder on PC

Open up a command window from ADB folder on PC again:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot_a Patched_Boot.img

fastboot flash boot_b Patched_Boot.img

fastboot reboot​

(assuming everything took) Open up MM, confirm Magisk 17.3 is installed & you have root

Re-Install all relevant MM modules (i did not have Active Edge module previously installed but heard there were issues with this module & root)

There's way more steps in that than needed and really doesn't address how to apply an ota to a rooted phone.

Line 13 is the only thing that would apply.

Glad the writeup helped someone else out. Congrats on the successful update & root.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] timothymcmackin:
I'm trying to use the OTA method for updates because it seems the simplest:

github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md

I've got a pixel 3 rooted with magisk, no TWRP. I open Magisk, click "uninstall," and then "restore images." A toast says "Restoration Done!" but the magisk screen still says that magisk and manager are installed and up to date. When I go to the settings to install the OTA update, it says that my system is up to date with the patch from Dec 5 (and it's Feb 7, I'm 2 updates behind).

Does this mean that magisk are still there and the stock images have not been restored? When I reinstall magisk, I use direct install and I see log messages that say "stock boot image detected" and "backing up stock boot image," so hopefully it can find the stock image to temporarily un-root. Any help here?

This is what I do when the monthly updates come out, and it's never failed me:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78624634&postcount=219

It's not using the OTA method, but it always works, and it's not as hard as the number of steps makes it look.

I get the failed message after flashing the bat file
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] CSX321:
Make sure your platform tools are up to date.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] gvsukids:
didnt know that I had to unzip those files to the platform-tools folder. Thought that I could perform the update from the desktop
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] JasMan78:
I've the same issue. The linked manual says that you should never had mounted or even modified the /system or /vendor partition. Otherwise the verification will fail and OTA will not work. I guess that's the reason why my phone (and probably yours) will not find any updates.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] 2LoT:
Does "Line 13" could be summarized as:

download factory image

edit flash-all to remove the -w flag

run flash-all

What is the meaning of -w flag?

Would the procedure above preserve existing TWRP & Magisk?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Yes, download the factory image, unzip it, and then edit the flash all batch file. The -w performs a wipe of the device, including the internal sdcard. Flashing the image does put the stock recovery and kernel back on the phone (twrp and root are lost). You will need to reinstall twrp and reroot.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] CSX321:
-w is for "wipe". It will not preserve TWRP or Magisk.

If you don't mind downloading the whole firmware instead of the just the OTA (the full image is about 50% bigger than the OTA), see my link in post 23 above for a fairly straight-forward way to install a monthly update + Magisk. (It assumes you already have the most recent Magisk Manager installed.)
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] 2LoT:
I have no trouble to flash factory image + reinstall TWRP + Magisk. However, I hope that the suggested procedure is not equivalent to a factory reset.

Can you please clarify more on the removal the -w flag to skip the wipe? Is that equivalent to a dirty flash (flashing a ROM without wiping the system partition)? ie. data is preserved (music, photos, download, google & other user accounts, finger prints, WiFi password). Would that also preserve the user installed apps AND their data + settings?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] CSX321:
Removing the -w has essentially the same effect as applying an OTA. It preserves everything, and is painless, really. I've been using that method to update my Nexus and Pixel phones for years now without any problem at all.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Just to clarify, TWRP & Magisk settings (what you backed up before in TWRP which is saved even if you only used the .img version of TWRP and Magisk Hide toggles and downloaded/installed modules ) will be retained since they are in user files/directories. You would need to reinstall them after the flash-all though.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] CSX321:
I also meant to say that, although I always used it on previous phones, I have not needed TWRP on my Pixel 3. Unless you're using it for backup/restore or to flash a kernel (something I also have not done on the P3), you don't need TWRP to install Magisk.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] 2LoT:
I have read a couple of guides before I rooted the P3. All of these guides began by the process of unlocking the bootloader then followed by installing TWRP before flashing Magisk. Can you please describe how to install Magisk without TWRP?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jd1639:
You boot twrp. fastboot boot twrp.img
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
You don't need it installed, and it is one more variable if you do install it. I have been skipping it since the OG Pixel. Boot to TWRP and install the Magisk zip.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] CSX321:
See the link in my post 23. It has my step-by-step process. In brief, you extract boot.img from the update.zip on a desktop, copy it to the phone, and patch it using Magisk Manager's install "patch boot image only" option. Then you copy it back to the desktop, and use fastboot to flash the patched_boot.img to the phone. Once you've flashed that, Magisk is installed. No need to install or even to boot TWRP at all.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] 2LoT:
I think you misunderstood the question. The trick was to install Magisk without having TWRP. While you advised to boot to TWRP. Which actually is possible, see answer from the author CX just above
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Since I always have the magisk zip on my device and the twrp image on my PC I find it much easier to boot twrp and install the magisk zip then wait for someone to post a patched boot image, download it to my PC, and then flash that from my PC using fastboot.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] neuTrue:
Before paying anyone.

Give this a try.

Search for a file called: "Miflash no auth", or "Miflash without auth", and even with these words: "patched", "mod", "cracked", etc...

Currently, if you searched for the first sentence in Youtube, you could easily find the file I mentioned (MiFlash 2018.5.28.0).

Personally, I haven't tried this solution but wouldn't hurt.

Good luck :)

Theres a group called OpenKirin that makes Custom ROMS for Huawei devices. They support a bunch of Huawei devices, you can check out on there website if your device is supported. They also have a telegram group. Huawei P8 Lite 2017 models PRA-LA1, PRA-LX1, PRA-LX3 is supported. They currently only make LineageOS, RR and Omni ROMS. RR is the only official rom. All of them is based on Android 8.0

They currently made Omni Pie based rom. It's in Alpha stage 2. You can flash it but there is some bugs.

Hello guys, I have an Xtrons Andrdoid 5.1.1 MTCD RK3188 head unit and I bought for it a nice Vgate iCarPro WiFi OBD2 Adapter, which, for it to work and communicate with the head unit, it has to be connected with the WiFi network of my head unit, but then, if it is connected the whole time with the head unit, then I can't use my head unit anymore to surf the internet, to use spotify, etc etc because now it is connected to the OBD adapter through the WiFi, and I can't connect it neither to my phone's hotspot network nor to the small mobile data (SIM card) router that I also use as a hotspot to have internet in my car, because I would basically have to be able to connect to 2 WiFi networks with my head unit which, as far as I know, isn't quite possible, any solutions for this would be appreciated.

I made it as simple as possible to change your prefered Calendar Manager, I use ThumbCal, which seems quite popular here. As downloaded, the script is setup for ThumbCal, but to change it all you have to do is edit the first 2 lines with a text editor.

Run the script and your Softkeys, links, and "Today Plugin" all call up Thumbcal, run again and it switches back to Office (Outlook) Mobile!

Does not support 3rd party software, for SPB Mobile Shell support see this thread.

MortScript is requied, download it here.

I hope you find this useful!

To use:

1. Download and unpack the ZIP file.

2. Edit the first 2 lines in the MSCR file, notepad works fine for this.

set AltCalendarName, "ThumbCal"

set AltCalendarPath, """\Program Files\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\ThumbCal.exe"""

3. Copy to your device, and make a shortcut.

4. Click the shortcut and answer the "Yes or No" question.

5. Repeat step 4 to swap between the two calendar managers!

NOTICE: I have seen this many of times, some softkey mapping software (most likely Spb Mobile Shell, this one does it the worst) hijacks the "calendar" softkey and redirects it to the "exe" instead of the "lnk". In any case this patch will still effect the Calendar Today Plug-in. You can remap your softkey with the mapping utility, how ever Spb Mobile Shell limits what you can select, so an additional one is recommended.

EDIT: NiteStalker, I checked my file paths, and everything is correct, when I press the .mscr file to toggle calendars, it tells me my default calendar has changed, but when I actually check my calendar "softkey" it has not changed.

Is there another script I could run to acheive the same effect?

UPDATE: I have also tried changing the File paths, and then changing the file location acoordingly with no result. I'm going to try to run it from the root, and see if it works.

UPDATE II: Launch off the root doesnt work, im going to check and see if the original Calendar is in the place referenced in the script for my device. (XV6900)
