If you are updating the same major version via OTA, you should not have to reflash magisk, I never do for OTA.  Now, I only use Magisk for SU, so maybe it is different if you use different modules. I only ever flash Magisk if I am doing a non-OTA major version upgrade.

Yes, after every update per OTA you have to reinstall magisk to the inactive slot before restart!

I have a black semicircular blob on the bottom corner of my Pro1 X screen due to drop damage. Fortunately, it doesn't block any important parts of the screen just yet, but it's slowly getting bigger over time. Yesterday I ordered what is apparently a replacement screen and digitizer for the Elephone U Pro from this Amazon link. Once it arrives, I'll test it with the Pro1 X directly, though I assume it'll need to be reflashed like all the others. Is anyone still offering this service? I live in the US, which might make things tough, but I'm willing to cover any shipping and import fees as needed. Edit: fix autocorrect

I recently successfully updated my Pro1 X to LineageOS 23, starting on 2025-12-08 nightly. When I updated, I installed Magisk as a zip after flashing the image. Today I successfully updated to 2025-12-15 nightly using OTA. After installing the OTA update, I always re-install Magisk to the inactive slot before rebooting. Is that still necessary to maintain root?

Lineage-23.0-20251215-NIGHTLY-pro1x with December 1st security patch installed smoothly via OTA. MindTheGapps16, and root was maintained.
