**This tutorial is only for Magisk v14.1+**
**NOTE: In order to apply OTAs, you HAVE to make sure you haven't modified `/system` (and `/vendor` if available) in anyway, even remounting the partition to rw will tamper block verification!!**

#### Prerequisites
1. Please disable *Automatic system updates* in developer options, so it won't install OTAs without your acknowledgement.

#### Devices with A/B Partitions
(Includes Pixel family)
Due to the fact that these devices have two separate partitions and the OTA installation happens live when the system is still running, these devices have the best support: the out-of-the-box OTA installation works seamlessly and Magisk will be preserved after the installation.

The [FlashFire](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash) app developed by Chainfire is a great app to apply OTAs and preserve root at the same time. However, whether it supports your device/system combination depends on the application itself, and support may also change in the future. If you face any issues, please directly [report to Chainfire](https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433).

Unfortunately, there are no real good ways to apply OTAs on all devices. Also, the tutorial provided below will not preserve Magisk - you will have to manually re-root your device after the upgrade, and this will require PC access. Here I share my personal experience with HTC U11.
1. To properly install OTAs, you should have your stock recovery installed on your device. If you have custom recovery installed, you can restore it from your previous backup, or dumps found online, or factory images provided by OEMs.
If you decide to start by installing Magisk without touching your recovery partition, you have a few choices, either way you will end up with a Magisk rooted device, but recovery remain stock untouched:
If you decide to start by installing Magisk without touching your recovery partition, you have a few choices, either way you will end up with a Magisk rooted device, but recovery remains stock untouched:
- If supported, use `fastboot boot <recovery_img>` to boot the custom recovery and install Magisk.
- If you have a copy of your stock boot image dump, install Magisk by patching boot image via Magisk Manager, and manually flash it through download mode / fastboot mode / Odin
1. Once your device have stock recovery and stock boot image restored, download the OTA. Optionally, once you downloaded the OTA update zip, you can find a way to copy the zip out since you are still rooted. Personally I will extract the stock boot image and recovery image from the OTA zip for future usage (to patch via Magisk Manager or restore stock recovery etc.)

1. Apply and reboot your device. This will use the official stock OTA installation mechanism of your device to upgrade your system.
1. Once it's done you will be left with an upgraded, 100% stock, un-rooted device. You will have to manually flash Magisk back. Consider using the methods stated in step 1. to flash Magisk without touching the recovery partition if you want to receive stock OTAs frequently.

How to remove a file systemless-ly? To actually make the file **disappear** is complicated (possible, not worth the effort). **Replacing it with a dummy file should be good enough**! Create an empty file with the same name and place it in the same path within a module, it shall replace your target file with a dummy file.
## Remove Folders
Same as mentioned above, actually making the folder to **disappear** is not worth the effort. **Replacing it with an empty folder should be good enough**! A handy trick for module developers using [Magisk Module Template](https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk-module-template) is to add the folder you want to remove into the `REPLACE` list within `config.sh`. If your module doesn't provide a correspond folder, it will create an empty folder, and automatically add `.replace` into the empty folder so the dummy folder will properly replace the one in `/system`.
