[Guide] (2017.12.07update) How to root ur Mate9 oreo (emui 8.0)

First of all, sorry for my awesome English.i am praticing my writing
if u understand Chinese,congratulations!these is the Chinese version:
Notice:
A. Warning! Flash phone might get it bricked. I am not responsible for it.
B. Phone is already Oreo firmware.
C. i cant guarantee these is no needless steps , but at least , i execute the steps from a to m, and i succeed to root my mate9 oreo {MHA-AL00 8.0.0.334(C00)}
-----------------------2017.12.07 update---------------------------
sorry for so many needless steps of the old method.
root mate9 emui8 now only need 2 steps (so please neglect the old method).
new method:
1. reboot to fastboot mode . and fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk this
2. reboot to recovery mode. flash supersu 2.82 sr5 mod. (download link)
done!
ps: i have compared the "supersu 2.82 sr5 mod" to official supersu 2.82 sr5
the only different is:
the 683th line of file: "/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary"
official package is : TRY="boot_a BOOT_A $TRY"
and the mod package is: TRY="ramdisk_a RAMDISK_A $TRY"
so the the mod package can be trusted i think.
that's all !
as the Chinese popular saying goes： 无图无真相！( no pictures! no truths ! )
but i dont know how to upload my picture, imgur?tumblr? anybody teach me?
HOPE THE ABOVE IS CLEAR.
GOOD LUCK
----------------------------------------------------------------
old method ( too many needless steps, please read the new method!):
Prepare:
1. FunkyHuawei Mate 10 Root/Rebranding tool (find lastest release here)
2. TWRP 3.1.1-0 for Mate 9/EMUI 8 (click me)
3. HWOTA8 Package ( get it from this post)
4、update_data_public.zip & update_all_hw.zip for the corresponding version you need (mine is MHA-AL00 8.0.0.334(C00), you can find wat u need at here)
5、supersu 2.82 SR5 (donwload link ,we only need the superuser.apk in /common.)
steps:
a. Unlock bootloader (backup all the data you need before this step)
b. Decompress the HWOTA8 Package on ur PC.
c. Copy the TWRP 3.1.1-0 to this folder (created by Decompression ),and rename this recovery img file (TWRP 3.1.1-0) to "TWRP8_3.0.3.img"
d. Connect ur mate9 to PC by USB cable and Use Vol-Dn +Power to boot into fastboot mode.
e. Use "Replace_Recovery.bat" in the folder (created by Decompression ) to flash TWRP recovery
f. Disconnect USB cable, use Vol-Up + Power to boot into TWRP
g. Format Data in TWRP, and connect USB cable again.
h. Reboot into fastboot mode .
i. Decompress FunkyHuawei Mate 10 Root/Rebranding tool Package on ur PC.
j. Run the "FHMate10Tool.exe" and choose Option 1 to root. and it will reboot later
k. Phone reboot ---> appare the warming interface ( it said:your device has been unlocked and cant trusted blablalba..... ) ---> appare the huawei welcoming interface -----> suddenly, phone reboot. notice!: please keep USB cable disconnecting from ur Phone. and after phone reboot suddenly , keep holding the Power + Vol up as fast as u can to reboot to recovery mode. (ps: why do we hold the keys as fast as u can? because it will prevent ur rebooting phone enter the huawei welcoming interface again. if the huawei welcoming interface appearing we cant execute the step l following)
l. flash the update_data_public.zip & update_all_hw.zip in TWRP. and reboot to system .
m. if supersu is not installed, please install supersu 2.82 SR5 manually.
the step k & l is not necessary,but recommended. because if you neglect them, u cant use the Theme( i am sure) and other.... important things (maybe) .

thanks very much!!!!!!

2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-oreo-update-package-t3699522
notice:
a. the part of post 1 --"2.1 Method 1 using HWOTA Tool–" works on my mate9 Android N (emui 5.0) .
b. the part of post 2 --"Downgrade Nougat" works on my mate9, i succeed to downgrade to Nougat emui5.0 MHA-AL00C00B233.
c. the attachment of the post 1 seem to be designed to work on mate9 pro(because of the "LON") , so i modified the package to fit mate9. i don't know if it's neccessary.
i have wrote a guide，but it's in Chinese . 2rd floor (2#) of this post

/recovery has a new name "recovery_ramdisk" in mate9 oreo
if you want to flash stock recovery , you should execute " fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk xxxxxxxxxxxxx.img" in fastboot mode.
"RECOVERY_RAMDIS" may be refer to "recovery_ramdisk", so try to execute " fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img" in fastboot mode.
i'm not sure.

Sadly goes into a bootloop for me - no idea why though

This worked for me. I had magisk installed and took the pie update. No more root. D/l the factory image and extracted the boot image to the files folder...pissmeoff they changed the name of the icon... and magisk patched the image and saved it in its folder. Found the file, moved it to the laptop then flashed it.

I think you made a mistake.

I always did that method pre Pie and it always worked but now I end up in a bootloop and I did everything according to guide

I think you use my file(boot.img) for patch_boot.img from magisk manager.
I think you must check your build number devices.
You must use file boot.img from your factory image for root.
9.0.0 (PPR1.180610.009, Aug 2018) >This is version for my devices
9.0.0 (PPR1.180610.011, Aug 2018, Telstra) >?

hey mate thanks for the input, I got a normal non testra (whatever that is) taimen - tried your boot.img and before that I tried the one from the factory image, both result in a boot loop.
I went through all stages of the Android p beta and in the end, to try solve this, I also non wipe flashed the factory image all to get the same result
could you sent me a drive Link to the patched version of yours or something?

Also doesnt work, i thought so - didnt do anything different than when it worked - no idea why it doesn't though
Is there a way to see or read out any protocols regarding this?

I receive also a bootloop and I didnt make any mistake. I also used this method pre Pie, I read that alot of users have problems with rooting Pie atm, even with TWRP

You use adb last version for flash patch_boot.img ?
I think you should flash factory image new again and factory reset your devices.
You are use stock kernel or other kernel on your devices.

I downloaded all the latest adb and fastboot. Never touched kernel or did custom recovery, always used the magisk method since i am on a pixel device. i also got the issue that my pc doesnt recognize my pixel from time to time, you think i should do a complete wipe?

I don't sure.
You are use platfrom-tool from sdk lastversion?(for flash via fastboot mode)

> If your phone runs Android 8 or later with latest security patch - then this service won't work!
I have the latest security patch(March 1, 2019), I've been searching for the past 3 days for a working method to root my mate 10 lite, found nothing.
Huawei stopped providing oem unlock codes, All the services that provided unlock codes for money are now obsolete too.
I'm trying to find a way to root this phone on my own, but I'm not sure where to go from here.
I've read this book today "XDA Developers' Android Hacker's Toolkit", but it teaches how to use rooting methods that are already out there and not how to create your own way to root a device.
Can you provide guidance on where to go from here to learn how to find vulnerabilities in android?

"If your phone runs Android 8 or later with latest security patch - then this service won't work! " it's true , you must downgrade to Nougat via HiSuite .

Sorry, I misread. xD
Well, you can either flash TWRP for Oreo. Not sure which is "best" though, take one with decryption support if available for RNE on Oreo. Then you flash Magisk zip in twrp.
Or you can take your stock ramdisk and patch it in Magisk Manager, then flash the patched ramdisk from fastboot.
I would provably go with TWRP and Magisk zip though, as you would need a stock ramdisk from an update.app of your build. So saves some downloading
Basically flash TWRP using fastboot: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
Reboot to recovery which will end up in TWRP. Flash latest Magisk using the Install button in twrp.

I can't find any TWRP with decryption. This one might work, it's from the MorfuZ thread: https://mega.nz/#!uD4FlCqL!ERBzP4ZWa2sR8f_wnn15F_cOFCdYVKgfYETjiehQkkQ
So it may or may not have working decryption. But if you have an external SD it doesn't really matter as you'd only transfer magisk to that.
Magisk from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Download latest stable.
Flash twrp using fastboot.
Reboot to recovery.
Transfer magisk zip to external SD.
Flash Magisk zip using the Install button
You will probably have to browse to /external_sd manually as it will default to /sdcard in the install browser.
If it fails to install using TWRP:
Open terminal in TWRP from the Advanced button then enter this command:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/ramdisk of=/external_sd/ramdisk.img
This will dump your stock ramdisk to external sd, which you then can patch in Magisk Manager and flash the output file to 'ramdisk' using fastboot. You will have to install Magisk Manager apk first though, it can be found in the Magisk thread.

And after flashing that TWRP can I still install Huawei updates like security patches etc... even if I don't have stock recovery?

Yes you can, although you have to download updates through firmware finder and update with HuRUpdater in twrp.

Then there is another solution - install TWRP over eRecovery (my own experience) :
- copy to SD card TWRP-oreo-smart.img
- in main TWRP menu tap Install image, then navigate
to the TWRP-oreo-smart, select
eRecovery_ramdisk and confirm Flash . System
reboot.
- Download and copy to the Minimal ADB and fastboot folder RECOVERY_RAMDISK330.img
https://mega.nz/#!I511VK4b!9cGodiCORHOvXndOCHyqcezpHmUk2zeTslqpbZe8pk4
Connect your phone to PC in fastboot mode and install recovery_ramdisk using command
- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK330.img
- fastboot reboot
How to boot into TWRP: reboot your phone and press Volume Up key up to 3 seconds to enter TWRP.

Okay, one can install Magisk without TWRP. There are plenty of guides on how to do these things in the Mate 10 forums. Of course, TWRP makes things easier ....

Emui 9 with Root Honor 8 pro ( tested by myself ...root 100% working ! ) July 2019

Hello guys , [ UPDATE ROOT for EMUI 9.1.0.210 .. at bottom ... there are some minor changes]
been reading here and there for a working root but didn't work and my worries to get phone locked / bricked / bootloop
was increasing at any failed test !
THIS method WILL WORK i tested it today and worked ! I'm gonna upload also my magisk recovery_ramdisk PATCHED (read later) so you can skip few steps !
let's start
(steps are copied by Athanatos81 post here in XDA that's basically what i applied with some minor changes )
I. Rooting your device
1. be sure ADB / fasboot are working on your pc(drivers) and smartphone - INSTALL magisk manager Magisk Manager
2. Download the patched file for your device and copy it to Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder.
( you can use my magisk recovery_ramdisk PATCHED it's created by using update.app from update.zip file of EMUI BUILD 9.0.1.175(C432E3R1P5)
that means IF you are on emui 9.0.1 with THAT BUILD NUMBER you can use it ... if you are on a different build DO NOT use it, I take no responsabilities !!!
link to magisk recovery_ramdisk PATCHED magisk recovery_ramdisk PATCHED magisk_patched_9_0_1_175.img
3. Start your smartphone in fastboot mode pressing [Vol-]+[Power] and connect it to your PC. ( you can NOT enter fastboot? read in next section)
4. Open a Powershell and check if your honor 8 pro is listed by writing :
Code:
fastboot devices
you should see something like BYJDU17803000088 fastboot
that means your phone in correctly in fastboot/connected
5. Flash the Recovery_Ramdisk:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched.img
(in this case MY ALREADY MADE magisk recovery_ramdisk patched is named like that IF you choose a different name that CHANGE it also in the command)
when the process is complete (you'll get something like this
OKAY [ 0.184s]
finished. total time: 0.879s)
you need to REBOOT follow these next steps as i describe them or it won't work :
6. from your pc command window write
Code:
fastboot reboot
as soon as phone reboot
- remove usb cable
- PRESS and HOLD DOWN " volume up " VOL+ , keep it pressed until you see HONOR text (blue screen)
doing this will INSTALL MAGISK
7. your phone boot regularly(hopefully) now open Magisk Manager
you will see MAGISK 19.x.x.
and MAGISK 7.3.2
click on INSTALL (magisk 19.3) --- INSTALL ---- DIRECT INSTALL
when it's done it'll ask you to reboot , click reboot
phone is rooted !!!!!
i hope it helps for any references have a look at these pages which helped me :
root emui 9
magisk download
Magisk info
ROOT EMUI 9.1.0.210
first of all thank you to @OldDroid and @Athanatos81 for support ...
DOWNLOAD my patched magisk: PATCHED Magisk recovery 9.1.0.210
I'll descrive here the process how to update and root from 9.0.1.175 to 9.1.0.210
in my case i was on emui 9.0.1.175 rooted and i couldn't enter recovery or fastboot or simply update through system update !
so before starting it go in system settings -> update and DOWNLOAD your update
when you end your download don't restart and update BUT enter in fastboot:
to enter fastboot i had to restart honor 8 pro (while connected to usb)
and keep pressing VOL DOWN
now in fastboot you'll do following steps
(to install official update YOU FIRST NEED to install stock recovery so in this case 9.0.1.175 stock recovery .. while if you just need root on your actual rom you can just use the patched magisk recovery)
check if your smartphone is seen
fastboot devices
now
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched_9_1_0_210.img ( in this case is the one i already patched for you )
fastboot reboot
let system start and than use ADB
adb reboot recovery
system will restart now open magisk manager
INSTALL MAGISK( in my case v20.1 )
INSTALL direct
reboot when asked
congratulations your Emui 9.1 is rooted !!!

It still works on my EMUI 9.1.0.210 C636.
Follow the instruction on the second half of the original post, and then download these files from the link by nanortemis.
1. Put the device into fastboot mode by connecting the USB cable to the PC and long press "Vol -" button
2. Install adb, and run
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched_9_1_0_210.img
fasboot reboot
3. boot into the device, and then open the magisk app, you shall see a pop-up asking for reboot again, click on ok.
4. reboot... and yeap... you're rooted.

Message of dm-verity on TWRP Recovery website

I'm using android Pie(stock rom) on mi a1. I want to flash Lineageos for microG. On TWRP Recovery website, it says this device(mi a1-tissot) uses dm-verity and in order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in fastboot.
I'm completely new in the realm of flashing custom roms. And no website and youtube video talks about dm-verity in a clear manner:crying:. So what steps exactly should I follow to install Lineageos for microG?
Also, my phone(data) is encrypted. And I can't find a way to decrypt it. Will it affect flashing TWRP Recovery or Lineageos?

wHY did not anybody answer guys?

Here are the steps to install TWRP and maybe a custom ROM:
1.Make sure to have USB Debugging activated
2.Put the Mi A1 in Fastboot Mode(Volume Down+Power)
3.Connect your phone to your PC
4.Make sure to have downloaded platform-tools
5.Download the .img TWRP file and copy it in the platform-tools folder
6.Hold Shift and right Click in the platform-tools folder,and click onpen a PowerShell window here
7.Type fastboot devices or .\fastboot devices(for me the second worked)
8.Now write fastboot boot twrp.xx.xx.xx.img(here Goes the name of your .img TWRP file)
9.After 15 seconds,you will probably see a warning that asks You to swipe to allow modifications.Don't swipe.Press on:Keep read only.
10.From this point,You can install every custom ROM,You can install Magisk.
Hope this helped You out!

I found this thread by doing something wrong that you mentioned. I didn't swipe to allow modifications and now the TWRP can't flash anything. Tried every remedy I can find but nothing. It can wipe system though, but not restore it so now I'm stuck in bootloops. Damn, idk what to do.

Dear Zentom,for me,that method worked.But,I can help you get out of that situation
1.Make sure to have your bootloader unlocked
2.Download the stock ROM for Mi A1
3.Boot into Fastboot Mode
4.Extract the stock ROM archive
5.Copy all the extracted files into the platform-tools folder
6.Find a .bat file names "flash-all"
7.Open it
8.After 15 minutes or so,your phone will boot.
Hope I helped you!

Thanks, but I flashed the stock rom from twrp anyway. Though I had to flash the October 2019 ROM. Do you know anywhere where one can get an updated one?
