# Installation of OTA on a Rooted Device
|
||
|
||
The installation of OTA updates often fails if the device has been rooted. Though it's still possible – without data loss. This guide shows how, using *TWRP* and *Magisk*.
|
||
|
||
***IMPORTANT:** Before you start **backup** everything that's important!*
|
||
|
||
-------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
## Prerequisite
|
||
|
||
1. The Update file of the version that's running on the device (*NOT* the update you want to install)
|
||
1. [**TWRP**](https://twrp.me/) for your device
|
||
1. [**Magisk**](https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445)
|
||
1. *ADB* and *Fastboot* inclusive developer mode the device
|
||
|
||
Don't forget to check the checksums of all files.
|
||
|
||
Doing the update isn't that difficult: Reset some system partitions, install OTA, refresh *TWPR* and *Magisk*, done. There are two versions of this guide: The short version is just a list of steps, while the long version contains each step and the commands necessary.
