Huawei P8 Lite (ALE-L21) Unsuccesfully rooted, unbricked and now into a boot loop - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm all new to rooting and I got a major issue.
Here's the story.
Wanting that substratum themes, I looked up for rooting my devices
I followed this guide to unlock the bootloader, and all was fine.
Next, I followed this one for rooting, but at the "installing nexus drivers" step, my PC wasn't showing off any driver setup or something related to a driver.
I pressed Enter, despite the fact that I didn't know if I had nexus drivers properly installed, and my phone didn't want to boot up. Stuck on the boot animation, for more than 20 hours.
Next day, I came back and found this mega thread about unbricking. I followed it, and now I'm in a boot loop: my phone reboot 1-2 secs after showing the home screen, but I can still enter in fast boot mode. My phone is still unlocked and when I enter Huawei's eRecovery (by long-pressing up volume button) to try to "Download new version and recovery" it connects to my Wi-Fi, then fails.
Thanks for your patience,
Mx3_

Do I understand correctly? Do you wont root your phone ?
1 st. With method which presented, you can only root your device if you have Android 5 or lower, if you have android 6 Marshalow - you must use " Systemless ROOT"
2nd. You must upload new ROM on your device ( i have special tool for do this "srktoolHuawei" - this is a special tool for flashing every new rom on a huawei device )
3.rd." HuaweiUpdateExtractor" - this is a tool for extract new ROM ( roms for huawei, you can find in huawei webside ) - download rom for your device, extract by this tool, copy and paste inside folder of "srktoolHuawei"
Next...
Plug you device to PC by usb, go to recovery mode and if you have unblocked bootloader, should be writen:" Phone is unlocked" - > Open "srktoolHuawei", go to Command Prop and then:
- IMPORTANT !!! - you must upload files: SYSTEM, RECOVERY, CUST, BOOT - you can do this using that commands:
1. fastboot flash system system.img
2.fastboot flash boot boot.img
3.fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4.fastboot flash cust cust.img
Reboot and system should starts correctly...
---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------
If you wont to root your device with SYSTEMLESSROOT method, you should do like that:
1. If you upload recovery by "srktoolHuawei" - > download TWRP recovery and upload into your device ( copy and paste TWRP img. file into this tool folder insted of traditional android recovery file, next change name from TWRP, to just recovery.img and upload using command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img )
2. Now - if you press volume + - and power together, you should have TWRP Recovery insted of Huawei Recovery, thats good...
3. Next...BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3 - upload this version of supersu into your SD card...
4. Next - go to TWRP mod, next to advanced, next to Terminal Command and write command like this:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
Confirm this command and back to install ( this command means that you will install SuperSU and it will make systemless root for you )
When if you have install, then select supersu which you downloaded before and now simply flash it by TWRP, next reboot and you should installed supersu and rooted device...

I successfully rooted, thanks ! but now i installed a substratum theme (pixel ui), uninstalled some huawei apps and rebooted to apply effects, and i'm stuck again in a bootloop ! tried wipe cache with TWRP, but didn't work :/

Please tell me you made a back up in TWRP if you did just use the RESTORE option in TWRP if not you will have to go through the above again to get back to stock but missing out flashing the recovery partition as yours is working.
When your phone boots make a back up in TWRP before trying out anything so its easy to recover

The method only applies to P8 and the author says it might not be applicable to Max as the recovery is P8.
However, just for the record
1. Unlock the bootloader

2. Fastbboot custom recovery *Need to create a TWRP recovery for the P8 Max
3. Root

Managed to root my phone.. even when I have updated the EMUI to B018, but there was an issue.. I tell you below
Step I follow from Chinese Forum below...
Preparation step :
1. download the tools from
https://www.mediafire.com/?9drsdo2f6hn4j34
2. Extract the content to your local. Note there are two folders :
- Folder 1 is for the tool that contains the TWRP recovery.img and the adb/fastboot tool,
- Folder 2 is for the original recovery
3. Copy the SuperSU zip to your phone (either in internal or external memory of your phone)
Installation step :
Step 0, unlock your bootloader (search around on how to do it)
1. Since I am using mac, somehow I don't need to install any driver, but if you using windows, install all the driver yourself
2. Enable the developer mode in your phone, and after that enable the usb debugging
3. Turn off your phone, and boot to fastboot (in off mode, connect the phone with your PC then press Volume Up and Power Button together)
4. Since now your phone has been connected to the PC, go to that Tool folder in respective of your OS, then overwrite the recovery with TWRP with fastboot command (install custom recovery) *note : for mac just add "./" in every command
- check the whether its connected : fastboot devices
- install TWRP : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Restart your phone and boot to recovery
- restart : fastboot reboot
- after reboot, turn off your phone
- reboot to recovery : turn on your phone by holding Volume Down with Power button
- Now you are at TWRP
6. Install SuperSU (root)
- Install SuperSU zip that has already been copied to your phone using TWRP (use the Install mode)
7. Reboot the phone
- Use reboot function in twrp
8. Profit
Theoritically the above things works but I have some issues following the above :
- After step 4, after recovery being flashed with TWRP seems like my phone Boot Partition is being overwritten too
- So when I rebooted the phone, it boot to TWRP instead
- So I tried to re-flashed the recovery with the original EMUI rom recovery (go to the folder "2.P8Max_Official_Recovery(For_restoration)" to find the original recovery.img). Also note that in the this folder, the adb and fastboot is only for mac. The one for windows use it in the tools
- This is done by going to fastboot again, then do command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- This time using the original recovery
- Now when I rebooted the phone, it goes to EMUI recovery, then I just clicked restart to system or something
- After this, everything fixed, and I have SuperSU install and phone rooted
You can follow the above, but do it at your own risk, I am not responsible if your phone brick hehehe..

Instead of flashing the recovery to the phone you can just boot it one time. Just use fastboot boot recovery.img instead. This will load twrp and not flash it.

Speaker is damn good... but when playing games or watching movie, it is covered by the hand... so it would be better if the speaker is front facing..
otherwise it's good... but I do hate EMUI though... its making the experience sluggish...

The stock recovery when it's launched, it's in English, dun worry I have re-flashed it as I mentioned in the prev post..
Anyway the stock recovery is extracted from the current available ROM for P8 Max, which is in chinese. There is no international ROM available yet for this phone.

Is this is TWRP for Marshmallow? Because the recovery files.you have uploaded are dated 25th September 2015?
@mfbcool yes...this is for Marshmallow... But dont swipe allow modifications!!
Member gettin error after swiping...just do read only...
I root my device by this method yesterday
but today root not work in titanum backup
I check it by root checker and everything is ok
Even though this method works, I would not recommend moving SuperSU to system partition. I didn't moved it and still SU permissions are working fine. I say so because Chainfire in his new SuperSU adopted a 'Systemless Root' method that roots without modifying the system partition so that apps like Android Pay work properly. He achieved this by patching the Boot image and so root is installed in boot image and is enabled at every boot (that's why you may experience some boot loops after rooting). This makes taking OTA updates and unrooting the device easier as you can unroot by flashing the Stock Boot.img instead of flashing the whole system partition.
I believe moving SuperSU to system partition destroys the main purpose and idea Chainfire had while making SuperSU compatible with Marshmallow. We all know EMUI won't update on Rooted devices. So it would be a pain to reflash whole Stock System Partition before taking OTA.
Hi thanks, I'm root my mobile I'm in android 6.0 now how to get back to kikkat a stock rom from twrp
@G E N E R A L open supersu app and tick the mount name separation and restart phone... Titanium, kingroot all will recognize root

Then flash the back pkg B320, then B070
If you gets error, flash middle pkg of chc rom and then flash directly KK Rom usin stock recovery!!

I have successfully built TWRP 3.0.0-0 for our device which fixes the weird swipe to allow modifications bug and is fully compatible with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495
Also, to re-flash Stock ROM, you don't need to flash Stock Recovery. Huawei phones have 2 inbuilt recoveries. The second recovery (which is the Stock) can be accessed by 3 buttons method (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down).
@mfbcool i saw that thread early... Great work man... I know huawei have 2 inbuilt recoveries but 2nd one is erecovery and thats of no use at all... I tried it too many times!! If twrp 3.0 can flash update.app files,,, it gonna rocks , wish u best of luck man!! You did it

Doogee X5 Max Pro Root Recovery OTA

******************Root Recovery Doogee X5 max pro*******************
Your waiting Time IS Now Finished Here is Complete Guide to Root Doogee X5 Max Pro install twrp And More,
Hit :good:
ADB & Fastboot
Before doing most things mentioned below you will need "adb" and "fastboot" installed. Two of your options are to install the Android SDK Tools or the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool. If you are somewhat new to this I highly recommend the second one. Go here, download the latest version (1.3.1 as of this writing), and install it. When setup is complete you should have an icon for the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool.
Note: I highly recommend you add "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot" to your PATH variable in Windows. This way you can open a Command Prompt anywhere and use adb or fastboot.
1) Unlock Bootloader
Power on the phone and skip through all of the setup options
Go to Settings -> About device
Tap Build number five times to enable Developer options
Go to Settings -> Developer options
Enable OEM unlocking
Enable USB debugging
Plug the phone in to your PC and authorize it
Open a Command Prompt
Type adb reboot-bootloader
The phone should reboot and in a very tiny font at the bottom you should see => FASTBOOT mode
Type fastboot devices to verify that your PC sees it correctly
Type fastboot oem unlock
Press Volume Up to say Yes and wait for this to finish
Type fastboot getvar all and look for (bootloader) unlocked: yes
Type fastboot reboot
You should see your phone reboot a couple times as it erases the phone
Install twrp-
Power on the phone
You can configure your phone now or just skip through all of the setup options and do that later
Go to Settings -> About device
Tap Build number five times to enable Developer options
Go to Settings -> Developer options
Enable OEM unlocking
Enable USB debugging
Plug the phone in to your PC and authorize it
Open a Command Prompt to wherever you extracted the .img file
Type adb reboot-bootloader
The phone should reboot and in a very tiny font at the bottom you should see => FASTBOOT mode
Type fastboot devices to verify that your PC sees it correctly, rename twrp to recovery.img
type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash recovery
Type fastboot reboot
Rooting-
Download BETA-SuperSU.zip and save it to the phone's internal memory or an inserted microSD card
Plug the phone in to your PC
Open a Command Prompt
Type adb reboot recovery
You should now be in twrp. Go to Install zip, find SuperSU.zip, and install it
When it finishes go to Go Back -> Reboot Phone -> No
Once the phone boots up launch SuperSU and configure it as you like
Other Solutions-
i have doogee x5 max-s (i geuss limited editon in algeria ) with mtk6735 . i do evrything and all steps but when i reboot to recovery mode i have ( no command ) in the screen .... how to fix that ? sorry for my ****ty english XD
I had the same Issue but i have found a solution!
After you have flashed the twrp recovery, dont reboot the phone! the "recovery.sh" will replace the twrp on every boot!
Just pull off the battery after flashing, disconnect usb and put the battery back in to the phone.
Now get in to the recovery by pressing volume up and power button together until the select bootmode menue appears.
select recovery with the volume up button and enter with the volume down button.
and now you should be in the twrp main menue.
i hope it works for you too!

It does not work from step 12, all the drives are correctly installed and windows recognizes the cell, the recovery image is in the internal memory and also in the sd but of the error "can not load Recovery.img". I tried all the tutorials on the net to do root and nothing worked.The flash does not recognize to pass the recovery also the installed drivers because windows recognizes the cell phone.

use sp flash tools to flash recovery, scatter also added with twrp
Flash does not pass the file in the download only option, the process does not start. I reinstalled ROM by firmware mode all ok, but the process of passing recovery on command 12 and 13 of the error message. I manually copied the recovery to the sd and internal memory but also from the error. Does not find the file speaks that it is not a command found.

Until today I could not do root on x5 max pro. In the method below even downloading the twrp when starting with the power + volume down button start with a menu in Chinese and if you start with volume up + power goes in the default recovery mode.
Same as Pitro1 I am on 16.01 update and I cannot install twrp no matter what I try.
I tried x32 and x64. I tried rebooting directly on recovery or first load system and then adb reboot recovery. I tried to format all first (now I lost my Imei and so on lol). I downgraded and updated again. Downgrading works only with 26.12 version. All others are giving me Colorado lines on the screen and nothing else...
OEM unlock, file transfer, adb, fastboot, drivers detection, are all working good. Only I cannot install twrp...
Also I cannot write nvram nor with SN Writer 2.1504 nor with Imei & SN Writer 1.7.2, MetaAP mode fails all the time...
I'm just about to send it back...

How i rooted my Doogee X5 Max Pro
- Unlock Bootloader tutorial in the first post By XN Logos.
- Updated ROM to Android 6 with SP FLASH TOOLS V.5.16.20
- boot phone for 1st start and activate Developer and USB debugging
- Installed TWRP-32x + SuperSu with SP FLASH TOOLS V.5.16.20
i returned the phone as i had no imei anymore.
i got a new one, i did not put any sim or whatsoever, i just unlocked bootloader, and updated to 16.01 version
then i tried to install twrp via fastboot and it did not work, i did it with sp flash tools as advised and removing the battery prior (don't forget to!). it worked !

How old is your phone and what build version was it at before you started? Because this doesn't work on mine. Which of the "Android 6" ROMs did you flash to start with as I've tried flashing mine back to an earlier one in case it's something with the later stuff that my phone has come with but they either don't make a difference or they won't even boot.
I tried the method in the first post here and the phone wouldn't even boot (switch on and you get the Doogee logo in silver for a few seconds then it reboots and does the same again). I had to flash the stock ROM from NeedROM to get it working again.
I've tried flashing TWRPx32 and x64 available NeedROM both with SPFlash tools and with ADB. Generally flashing it with ADB from the command line leaves the phone in that boot-loop. If I flash it with SPFlash when you try to boot into Bootloader afterwards you get the Doogee logo in silver for a few seconds then it seems to reboot again on it's own and boot normally - you don't even get the menu to choose Fastboot, Recovery or Normal. From then on trying to boot to the Bootloader gives you the menu but choosing Recovery gives you the standard recovery.
It's almost as if something is overwriting the recovery partition with the original after I flash TWRP onto it.
Anyone got any suggestions about where I might be going wrong or a way around whatever additional security they might have put in there?
Hi. I have tried to root my x5 max pro with flash tools to load TWRP, but it always restarts normally and the TWRP does not come out. I found you and I started to try this method to load the TWRP. Does everything good, unload bootloader and load recovery, but loading the TWRP gives me error .:
Device unauthorized.
This adb's $ ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is nor set; Try adb kil-server if that seems wrong
what I do?
rooting X5 Max pro in Ubuntu 16.04
Hi all, this is my first china phone and I basically bought it only to experiment, I'm a linux power user but this is the first time I 'play' with an android OS.
thanks to multiple guides and posts on this and other forums I'm getting somewhere and learning a lot about how to manage an android OS, I'm sharing a bit of info I unovered about doing this under ubuntu but I'm also stuck and in need of guidance, please help me.
Linux specific issues:
I'm running ubuntu 16.04 LTS, installed fastboot and adb tools from ubuntu repos, with these tools and no other modification to my system I could follow the tutorial on how to unlock the OEM bootloader with adb and fastboot.
accordingly to this post about SP flash tool in linux you might need to blacklist a modem manager module in order for SP flash tool to connect to the phone, you also need to install usb development tools (package libusb-dev) and check through dmesg that your linux OS can actually properly read mediatek usb devices.
After following the above mentioned instructions (both the linux sp flash tool tutorial and the bootloader unlocking howto) I could get SP flash tool linux (multiple version) to see the phone after you connect it while SP flash is downloading the new recovery image and flash it with an ok message.
If you get stuck with a BROM error 1013 remember to start sp flash tool with root privileges.
Phone specific issues:
I can get SP flash tool to flash my phone recovery with an ok message confirmation but the phone keeps rebooting with doogee recovery and not twrp. I'm on the newest stock ROM update (20170116) as of current post date. I've been using 32 bit TWRP images from multiple sources and linux version 5.1620 of spflash tool from their website
so my questions are as following:
1) after reading other posts I think I might have to play with different versions of SP flash tool and TWRP until I get the right combination, I think I might be using 64bit spflash tool for linux to flash a 32bit rom or something like that, can anybody confirm precise version number of the stock rom, TWRP and SP flash tool that worked out for you?
2) should I try to install the whole stock ROM posted in this chinadevices thread before trying to flash only TWRP recovery? please also check the linked thread for multiple custom ROM being ported to this phone, please also note that the full stock rom this poster uploaded (it's in the "all firmware" link) contains another flashing tools with chinese instruction called MultiDownloadTool.
www.china-devices.com/forum/index.php?threads/doogee-x5-max-pro-mt6737-custom-roms.20527/
3) I don't have access to a windows installation right now, but I do have a Win10 VM under Vmware workstation 12 pro, so I could try windows version of sp flash tool, do you guys think that USB passthrough would work?

Same here. May a work around would be finding out the oem commands in fastboot. I have seen a tutorial to get them, but you have to be root: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-discover-hidden-fastboot-commands/
I search a simple method
Why all so complicate? I am searching for a simple way to root.
For my old Doogee X5, I discovered just
update-ROOT-DOOGEE_X5.zip
Copy the zip to the micro-SD-card
Settings -> Phone info -> Update -> menu "update local" -> choose zip from micro-SD-card.
Start update.
That's all!
Now I search for such a simple solution for my new Doogee X5 MAX pro.
I do not want any methods with "volume down power", because my X5 MAX pro has the menus after "Volume down power" start in Chinese language.

Hi there,
I just tried the first file you posted, (twrp-x32-rom), and this one works for me after all previous attempts to boot up TWRP failed. Thanks for the link !
What I had tried before:
I have a relatively new X5 Max Pro, which I ordered a week ago. I updated the firmware to the newest version (20170116) using the OTA update function.
Then I tried to flash TWRP using the files from "needrom.com" which seem to have worked on older versions of the phone/firmware, but did not work for the newer versions.
I tried 32bit and 64bit TWRP versions and flashed them with SP flash tool, but when pressing Vol+/Power the phone would not boot into TWRP recovery. Insted, when selecting "Recovery" from the boot menu, the phone would show the Doogee logo in silver, then blink once, then boot up normally. When repeating this process, then phone boots into Stock recovery, indicating that the TWRP I flashed was replaced by stock recovery.
However, I just flashed the recovery.img from "TWRP LATEST" (the first file posted by Neaw) with SP flash tools and was finally able to boot into TWRP. I installed the superSU-zip 2.79 included in the link, and I am now rooted. Once again, thanks for posting this :good:

TWRP and root guide for 5S and 5G on Android 10 only - (these steps will NOT unlock your bootloader) - these steps use a bypass method to install a recovery without unlocking bootloader. the command below is to allow flashing of partitions. bootloader status is still locked during and after process is complete.
Note. if you already have ADB and fastboot drivers installed, this folder will work as is. if not I put an installer in the folder too to install a mini adb fastboot setup. which needs windows driver signing turned off (windows 8-10) this can be done by going to advanced startup and choosing to boot without driver signing.
1. Download zip file found at the end of this post
2. Extract to root of C: drive
3. open CMD prompt with admin privileges
4. CD to the ADB folder you extracted. (CD = Change Directory)
5. Connect your device in Fastboot mode (power off. hold volume down +Power until it vibrates. then release power but continue to hold volume down)
6. Once in fastboot mode, with cable connected to the computer run these commands
7. fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX659J (this allows you to flash the device partitions)
8. fastboot flash recovery TWRP-xxx.img (xxx being the version number of the TWRP image you choose to install)
9. fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_skip.img
10. reboot to recovery (from the fastboot menu) it should load TWRP
11. if TWRP does not ask you to keep recovery from being over written, go to advanced and choose disable replace TWRP. to keep TWRP as your recovery, and stop the system from re writing the stock recovery.
12. Reboot to system for the first time and complete the initial setup. this is to create the user space partitions data/media ( preferably do not make a pin or pattern at this stage)
13. once in the rom, connect to PC and copy over the Magisk zip to the internal memory. then reboot holding Volume up
14. once back into TWRP (if you created a pin during setup TWRP will ask you for your pin to access data) go into install and flash the Magisk.zip you moved in step 13 then reboot. once back into the rom, you will see a Magisk app, tap it and allow to update, the APK will install latest version of the manager.
More NOTES.
this must be done on a clean system. you need to wipe all data partitions to boot to system. re writing VBMETA causes encryption to break. until you reboot. so you lose everything Make a backup of your data partition on to your PC before doing anything.
its also recommended to have an update.zip of your current rom (which you can download from the post above), incase you need to reinstall the rom after flashing the new recovery or VBmeta.
OEM unlocking in the developer options is NOT needed. since you are not unlocking your bootloader. this step can be ignored.
I'll update this tutorial with newer steps if needed.
Thanks to those that created all these great tools.

I will update the thread once my tests are complete.
Hello. I can not flash (i cant even copy) the zip via TWRP. I see the storage device on my windows laptop. I have wipe data cache and dalvik, but it does not copy it and i can not restore my device. Help will be appreciated

Try putting update zip on a USB key and connect via OTG and flash this way. Moving files with TWRP for some reason corrupts or does not complete transfer.
Make sure to factory reset. If you're coming from a used update, backup your data partition and wipe everything. Then check to see if the partition is in fact empty. ( I noticed sometime my data partition did not erase)

Working fine after full data partition wipe.
I have an additioal question regarding further updates, and i would not want to open a new topic. so, after flashing the zip, i "lost" TWRP but i already have root access. I wonder if is possible to flash upcoming updates with the default recovery built in on the phone, if not, i would assume i need to install TWRP again.in any case, will side loading update make any problem with the current system? i hope my question and context is clear
As these are official ROMs, they will replace the recovery and remove root from the phone.
If you do not have root, flashing these zips from the system menu local update should work. But if you have root or TWRP it's better to flash through TWRP.
You could just flash TWRP again after flash, but I personally modify the zip and add the recovery to it to save me going into fastboot after each update.

I've spoken with another EU rom user, that has the same issue before. it seems it was an error in the stock rom.
reinstalling 7.07 from the links above should fix your problem.
both 7.07 (the EU rom) and 8.07 (the US rom) are exactly the same. the only difference is the languages from what I can tell.
I have a silly question. Unfortunately i unlocked bootloader and i lost the fingerprint capability. I have tried many times to do the calibration without success. I wonder if a factory flash (EDM or any nubia tool) can restore the capability and then use this guide to do the rooting? Thanks

No it wont.
There is a specific step by step that is required to get it functioning again. And it only survives until your next full wipe, which i assume you will do more often flashing non official roms.
I can grab the steps and edit this post for you.
Edit -
Prep.
have a black / very dark brown leather. (belt, wallet, etc)
a soft gel plaster / Bandaid
(something skin textured and in a pink / light beige colour) texture and colour are important.
First step is clear data in the infingerprint app in app info and remove permissionfor data memory - (you need to show system apps to find it)
- digit in call phone code:
*#9959#
(android 11 use Activity launcher (playstore) to enter fingerprint menu)
- uncheck performance checkbox , check only calibration checkbox
Steps -
1. Press start then wait.
2.Press next and with plaster / bandaid press on circle
3.Press next and use wallet / belt ( the display becomes black for black calibration)
4.Press next and use gel plaster / bandaid again but pinch it in so only the part with your finger touches the circle.
If you are lucky see success alert in green color
In system app in setting In-Display-Fingerprint allow access to data memory then reboot device.
Enjoy your Finger Print once more!
P.S. = do this procedure in a very dark room to improve the chances of it succeeding.
Thanks to qtr1st (Salem) and mikekrunk (Mike) for the steps and information.

this must be done on a clean system. you need to wipe all data partitions to boot to system. re writing VBMETA causes encryption to break. until you reboot. so you lose everything Make a backup of your data partition on to your PC before doing anything.
its also recommended to have a update.zip of your current rom (which you can download from the post above), incase you need to reinstall the rom after flashing the new recovery or VBmeta.
OEM unlocking in the developer options is NOT needed. since you are not unlocking your bootloader. this step can be ignored.
I'll update this tutorial with newer steps if needed.
Thanks to those that created all these great tools.

reboot to bootloader by... power off device -> press and hold volume down and power button until you see the logo -> connect device to your computer then do the steps 7 to 12
also once you are in TWRP make sure you ... this must be done on a clean system. you need to wipe all data partitions to boot to system. re writing VBMETA causes encryption to break. until you reboot. so you lose everything Make a backup of your data partition on to your PC before doing anything.
7. fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX659J (this allows you to flash the device partitions)
8. fastboot flash recovery TWRP-xxx.img (xxx being the version number of the TWRP image you choose to install)
9. fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_skip.img
10. reboot to recovery (from the fastboot menu) it should load TWRP
11. if TWRP does not ask you to keep recovery from being over written, go to advanced and choose disable overwrite TWRP. to keep TWRP as your recovery, and stop the system from re writing the stock recovery.
12. Magisk zips files are in the folder. copy to device and flash through twrp. and install the apk after boot. done twrp and root.

if you have not removed your pin before flashing any of the roms. it asks you for YOUR own pin that you made when you setup the phone. so use your own pin.
the process of rooting your device, clears a security partition. (the VBmeta partiton)
this deletes the encryption you had on your phone. so the devices partitions are unaccessable and need to be wiped before you can boot to system.
you need to clear data. all data. then check in TWRP file browser if your data partition is clear. .. if you see folders with random letters its not been formatted correctly.
so, in the wipe menu on TWRP you should go into advanced and change the partition type to ext4 then back to f2fs to clear the partition of data.
once your phone is clear you should be able to wipe cache and davik then reboot to system for it to start like a factory reset.
