OTA update with APatch retention
TIP
OTA update with root retention in APatch is consistent with Magisk.
Download and start installing the OTA update through your ROM's software
After the OTA update installation is complete (when prompted to reboot), open APatch Manager and click the button in the upper right hand corner
Select
Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)
WARNING
The OTA update functionality with root saving in APatch is currently not very stable and issues may occur. If an issue occurs go to the APatch project GitHub repository to submit an issue.
PAY ATTENTION
For MIUI/Xiaomi HyperOS users, here is what you need to pay extra attention for:
Different from Magisk/KernelSU, APatch currently will not automatically backup the stock boot.img when patching it. If you have not manually restored the stock boot.img before a system update, the verification will fail, and you will be forced to use a full ROM to complete the update process.
If you are using MIUI/Xiaomi HyperOS (especially Dev Edition), we recommend that restoring stock boot.img manually before system update.

The content described in this document is based on the latest version of APatch Manager. If you cannot find the buttons mentioned in this document, it means that the version of your APatch Manager is too low.
WARNING
Older versions are no longer supported and there is a risk of compromising the SuperKey.
In some major updates, newer versions of KernelPatch may not be compatible with older versions, causing loss of root after the update. If this incompatibility exists, we will specifically mention it in the release notes. If such a problem occurs, we recommend that you redo the installation steps using the original boot image.
There are a very small number of cases where OTA slot switching does not work. The sample is too small for us to determine exactly what the problem is. If this fails, please reinstall the program manually. Also, if you want, you can report the problem and attach logs on the page issues.
We need your help.
