There is no need to relock.
I didnt whe 110 came out and it still updated... rooted with Magisk as well
@any_thing
Check the ROMs/Kernels/Recoveries section, there's a modified stock recovery that allows for updating w/o relocking the Bootloader.*
Once complete, put TWRP back & root, you will not lose any data/apps/etc...... as you would by simply relocking your Bootloader....
* YMMV,this modified recovery may not be compatible w/your model.

I have the BKL-L04 model & got an update notice earlier today:
While on stock rooted with TWRP & Magisk,the update downloaded & attempted to install,but,it failed.
So,just flash the stock recovery for your model & take the update w/o relocking your bootloader.
You will not lose any data from switching recoveries,at least on this phone.
(If you want to unroot 1st,that's fine,but,not necessary,flashing the modified stock recovery image unroots your phone anyway.)
After taking the update,flash the TWRP & Magisk (& Magisk Manager App,if it disappeared) as you did previously.
Just posting what worked for me,& in no way are my experiences/usage intended to contradict posts/suggestions from others,especially if they have the exact same model of phone as yours.
Hope this helps. :good:

You will lose root as far as I know, but you can easily reisntall it via twrp. The bootloader will not be relocked unless you manually do so yourself.

S10e with Magisk installed, can I now update ota or flash updated rom ap via odin?

Hi,
I can’t seem to find a post about an S10e. My apologies if one already exists.
I have a g970F with unlocked bootloader, stock rom and magisk installed. Can I now update as I am having trouble installing unsigned apks over the top of original apks.
Thanks.
Hello, once the original firmware is altered, you cannot install OTA updates, only through Odin.

Many thanks for the advice. I will attempt to locate an updated ASBA version as I’m currently using a security patch from February.

Need help with Missing Waveline L1

Hello, I did Rooted my OnePlus 7pro last month after the latest update & security patch.
I did unlocked bootloader and did the patched image with fastboot. Installed magisk and did something based on search result from xdaforum to fix missing Waveline L1 issue,
But now yesterday I found that none of streaming service is able to play hd content with "DRM_SCHEME_NOT_SUPPORTED" error in all downloaded files. I've been trying to fix the issue without wiping the whole device with no success. If anyone able to fix it without reflashing/wiping please help
Unlocking the bootloader will end in getting widevine L3, but with any Open Beta or the lastest stable from OOS11 we get widevine L1 with unlocked bootloader and root, also we can get it in custom roms using the mentioned stock roms as base.

The method to get root doesn't matter, and you don't need to worry about getting your device bricked for installing any update just keep in mind that for rooted devices is mandatory to install full OTA and not the incremental OTA.
After installing the update don't reboot and go to magisk and select install>install to the inactive slot to keep root

Custom ROM

Hello, will it be possible to return from custom firmware to the original one and continue to receive OTA update ?

Yes, if you used TWRP to create a backup of your stock ROM before you flashed a custom ROM, you just use TWRP to restore the backup of stock ROM.
Or, if you didn't use TWRP to backup your stock ROM, you can flash your device's stock firmware using the flashtool designed to be used with devices made by your device's manufacturer.
But to install TWRP you need Root, and if you get it, then OTA updates stop coming or am I wrong?

No, installing TWRP does not require root. Yes, TWRP and root prevent the installation of OTA updates.
That is, to make a backup copy of the original firmware, you need TWRP, but if you install it, you lose the ability to receive OTA updates, and if you restore the original after the custom firmware, there will be no updates? Or can TWRP be removed and OTA updates will come again? I'm sorry I do not understand.

To be more specific, installing TWRP does not necessarily prevent a device from actually receiving/downloading OTA updates, it prevents the actual installation of OTA updates because part of the OTA update includes automatically booting into stock recovery to apply the update. If you have TWRP installed, the OTA update can possibly be downloaded to the device but when the device automatically tries to reboot into recovery, it is trying to boot into stock recovery but if you have TWRP installed, it can't boot into stock recovery to apply the update and when it tries to boot into TWRP, it will try to apply the update but it will fail, resulting in a bricked device and the device will have to be restored.
When it comes to OTA updates, all that is required is an unmodified stock system partition(meaning, no root or any other kind of modifications to the system partition), stock recovery(meaning, no TWRP) and the update has to be offered by your carrier if they offer the update for your specific device.
If a device is rooted, has other system modifications and/or has TWRP installed and you want to apply a stock OTA update, you have to remove root and any other system modifications and you must replace TWRP with the original stock recovery before you can apply the update. If you have TWRP and or root and you remove them to apply an OTA update, you can root the device again and install TWRP again after the update, provided that the OTA does not come with a locked bootloader that can not be unlocked, in this case, you will not be able to reinstall TWRP or root because the bootloader will be locked, which prevents you from installing TWRP again. Sometimes, users remove root and TWRP to apply OTA updates with the intention of rooting and/or installing TWRP again after the update but then get stuck in a position where they can no longer root the device or install TWRP because the bootloader gets locked during the update and there is no way to unlock the newly updated bootloader, from then on, they are stuck with stock with no way to get root, TWRP and custom ROMs reapplied to the device because they were not aware that the update came with a locked bootloader that can not be unlocked by any means.
