Problem description: i do not receive anymore OTA update because I guess, the dev version has been moved to android t?

merci beaucoup!

Just keep in mind there’s no guarantee a move to a new major Android version will work in the future in whatever way without wiping the phone in the process. It didn’t always work this way in the past, so we can really appreciate the times when it does :wink: .

Indeed, thank you for the information. I am clearly not an expert and this is why I am always amazed when something work!

Interesting, l’ll look at this solution. For the moment, I did a dirty flash from 1.17 S Dev to 1.19 S stable. But I miss the root solution… So I am willing to get the Dev version. Or can I flash magisk somehow on stable versions?

of course you can install the magisk app, patch the boot.img (or recovery.img) and flash it using TWRP or fastboot

how do I patch an .img for magisk, please?

Thank you @urs_lesse for the very straight-forward and comprehensive instruction including the download link. I can confirm that this worked for me as well in under ten minutes. :+1:

I did it now with this method (I always did the old method before), and it wasn’t as difficult as I thought. Thanks!
