Magisk not working on huawei p9 lite

Hi,
I am on VNS-L31C437B371, nougat and whenever i install magisk my fingerprint settings and function disappear. I have got viper4android installed and am on elite kernel v5.1 with twrp recovery. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks
If I remember correctly, Magisk is not supported with that kernel. You should either use stock kernel and root with the TWRP by @OldDroid or installa the RocateX ROM.
I have tried it with and without elite kernel but it doesn't work both times
Did you follow this guide to get Magisk?
Yes nougat is working perfectly.

How to exactly root oreo with Magisk?

I found that nokia 5 oreo 8.0 and 8.1 already rootable. But how? Someone said that we have flash the twrp (idk if the to7 recovery work or not) then root the nougat and install flashfire then flash the oreo rom from there and then flash magisk right after the rom.
Is that way really work? Because he didn't attach all file e.g the twrp and the oreo rom. Anyone has an idea?

From OxygenOS 4.5.13 to OxygenOS 5.1/LineageOS 15.1

Hi,
I have Oneplus 5 with TWRP 3.1.1 running 4.5.13. I want update it.
Should I first update TWRP to latest version?
Can I wipe everything and straightly flash to latest OxygenOS and then to LineageOS?
When should I flash/instal Gapps and Magisk? Right after flashing LineageOS or I need to first need to restart it?
Thanks for help.

At first it's necessary to update to 5.1.4 oxygenOS and then 5.1.5. Directly to 5.1.5, isn't working for most people. You can install latest blu spark twrp recovery before or after the os update.
After this you're ready to to install lineageos, gapps, magisk in this order.
It may be useful to format internal storage, since it can be blocking the boot.
Good luck :good:
Thanks very much

[update] how to update OOS 5.0.2 to current - Root

Hi all,
I once tried to update my rooted onePlus 5 (Magisk) to the latest oxygen os version, and lost everything. (with a corrupted Nandroid backup haha)
Since then, I've been pretty careful not to update anything, OTA isn't working anyway.
But now is about time to update it all.
I have flashfire, and Oxygen Updater (currently downloading OOS 5.1.4)
My question, before I go any further is:
If I download ALL the updates on Oxygen Updater and then flash them with flashfire (flash ZIP & OTA --> Select downloaded firmware --> proceed), I should be able to gradually flash all the new update until OOS 9.0.2, Keep root, and more importantly, Keep ALL my data, apps and all.
Is that correct? Does anyone have a proper flashfire walkthrough?
I'm a bit hesitant as someone seems to have had issues with Magisk as per below source's comment

To upgrade from Oreo non-treble to latest
- From TWRP, flash OxygenOS 5.1.4, Magisk and all the other mods and boot up once (to create vendor partition)
- From TWRP, flash OxygenOS 9.0.8, Magisk, all the other mods and a Pie-capable TWRP

And that will NOT erase any of my data?
Is it not possible to do it with flashfire? I don't have TWRP anymore I think..
Thanks!

I actually don't know what flashfire is.
You will not lose data in theory, but it's a good thing to make a backup
