How to root L29C432B584, if not how to downgrade back to B581? Please HELP! - Mate 8 General

Hello. I had B584 rooted and tried to update to B584 via huRupdater. The phone didn´t ipdate but the phone had lost the root, then I updated it to B584 via OTA. Now I see that there is not a root for B584.
Someone can help me with this problem or how I can downgrade to B581.
Thank you.

It was method 1.
Here is method 2, fat more easy:
Boot in TWRP recovery mode.
Install latest magisk.zip via TWRP.
Boot in normal mode, configure magisk manager and you're rooted !

It´s imposible.

-Be warned that magisk 17.3 was pulled off just after today release because causing problems or not working, so just use 17.2 for now.

please I need to remove twrp recovery

I need to remove twrp recovery and install stock recovery image
How I can do this gra ul10
Hello! You would be willing to change the ROM?
Uh oh. This reminds me 1 year ago when I had your same problem . The process is simple:
1. Get the UPDATE.APP file wich is no more than all the stuff for the P8 wich includes the recovery. You should find it on emui.huawei.com
2. To see what's in there you need a tool called "Huawei Update Extractor". Just look for it
3. You do the same process for installing TWRP but with the image file "recovery.img"
And you're done
PS. Do a full backup with TWRP just to be sure. To restore it just reflash TWRP and use the restore function
You could flash the original recovery via fastboot if you have a backup of it as raw image.
Or well what @Rome7643 mentioned works also. I submitted a profile for the gra-l09 for the update extractor.
command is like "fastboot flash recovery <path/to/recovery.img>"
There is recovery and recovery2. One of them comes up when usb is connected one when it is not connected when triggering the recovery boot.

Download the UPDATE.APP from a recent stock rom, use the Huawei Update Extractor, then flash the recovery/recovery2 partition with the recovery.img/recovery2.img.
Like "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" in fastboot mode.
This will only override recovery.
Note that recovery and recovery2 is the same but one triggers only when the usb cable is connected.

Please, next time you should be more careful when downloading the file UPDATE.APP or update.zip ! I guess you downloaded one from Huawei P9, but for sure it's not for Huawei P8 !
After you unpack update.app there should be RECOVERY.img and RECOVERY2.img along with others partitions images.
Good luck !

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 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?

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)

it seems that TWRP is not easily installable ; would there be a solution, especially to install MAGISK ?

You don't need TWRP to install Magisk; for that matter, they can't be installed simultaneously on EMUI 9 together anyway.
The EMUI 9 method for Magisk is to patch recovery_ramdisk.img extracted from update.app, flash the patched image, and boot to recovery from then on. (Huawei made it impossible to load a custom ramdisk on Pie otherwise.)
Thank you irony_delerium for info's, but is there not a tutorial explaining the steps of modification ?

1) Make sure you've got the stock firmware zip files. (I'm assuming you do.)
2) Extract UPDATE.APP from the main update.zip file (the big one).
3) Using Huawei Firmware Extractor on your desktop (search on XDA for it), load UPDATE.APP and extract the recovery ramdisk image. It's going to be "RECOVERY_RAMDIS" in that app as I recall.
4) Put the image into your phone's internal storage (MTP works, though I've never used it, I usually use adb: adb push RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img /sdcard)
5) Install Magisk Manager on your phone. You want the current release (18.1) at the very minimum. Canary builds also work
6) Select the Install button in the Magisk interface. Select "Patch boot image". In the file browser that comes up, select the image you just transferred in #4.
7) When Magisk finishes, pull the image back to your PC (adb: adb pull /sdcard/Download/patched_boot.img)
8) Reboot to the bootloader and flash (fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_boot.img)
9) Reboot to recovery (fastboot reboot, pull the USB cable and hold volume up).
Thank you irony_delerium ; very clear tutorial ; on the other hand, in UPDATE.APP there are 2 RECOVERY files : RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img and ERECOVERY_RAMDI.img which do the same weight; patching MAGISK with RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img I arrived at a system error and a dialogue asking me to either erase the data, or a factory restore; on the other hand with ERECOVERY_RAMDI.img it was installed alone? does it seem normal to you?

Hello
If you wouldn't mind confirming a few things from your post, as I'm trying to do this.
Is the sole purpose of extracting the big file to extract the recovery_ramdis ? You don't mention if anything is done with the big file.
The ADB commands didn't work for me, (error: push requires an argument).
But, I sent the recovery_ramdis via magisk manager, and it worked, then advised me that it put the image in /storage/emulated/0/Download/patched_boot.img but I can't find that location.
OK, edit ... I found the file and flashed it, rebooted into recovery and I get the message software installation failed.
I've had a whole lot of failures, phone won't root despite magisk giving no errors, dload won't work, superSU won't work.
Update .... root decided to work out the blue so I tried EMUI flasher and it looked like it was going to work ... but failed the update at about 10%.
Update - Bricked.

Unable To Root??

I sent my phone in for repairs and so i had unrooted and relocked the bootloader, then factory reset. I just got my phone back today, its on build 10.5.13IN11AA.
I enabled USB Debugging and the option to unlock the bootloader, so then i went and unlocked the bootloader, but i can NOT get TWRP to boot so that I can install Magisk. I'm guessing i need the patched boot.img but i cant find that anywhere either.
Does anyone have a patched boot.img for the global variant on 10.5.13 they can link? Or am i doing this wrong?
I got this figured out. I downloaded Magisk Manager and installed it on my phone, then downloaded the entire 10.5.13 update from a link a found here and extracted the boot.img file. I used ADB to push it to my downloads folder on the phone and used Magisk to patch it. Then I copied it back to my PC and used fastboot to install it, done!
Sir please post boot image

[SOLVED] How to root OP6T 11.1.1.1 ?

I have upgraded my OP6T to OxygenOS 11.1.1.1 after that I have tried to root the device.
But installing the last TWRP 3.5.2_9-0-fajita using the command "fastboot boot <TWRP>.img" I get a "Qualcomm crash dump mode".
Anyone have solved this issue? There is a new TWRP image to flash and gain root?
Thanks in advance.

Magisk patched image should get you rooted no need twrp.
What do you mean exactly?
I have to:
1) extract boot.img from Oxygen 11.1.1.1
2) patch the image with Magisk
3) flash the patched image with "fastboot flash boot <magisk_boot_patch>.img"
4) reboot
Is it right?

Simply go back to OS 10.3.5 using the MSM Download Tool. Upgrade via OTA to 11..1.1.1, fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-23000_11.1.1.1 from XDA 235Sanders15 post. (you are now rooted with Magisk. Via Magisk install TWRP-Installer-3.5.2_9-0 you are now unrooted but have TWRP installed. Using TWRP flash Magisk v23.0.You are now rooted on OS 11.1.1.1 with TWRP installed. Do not change the Kernel it will cause a Bootloop.
Thanks!
My steps only for rooting the OP6T were:
1. Download the file from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/magisk_patched-23000_11-1-1-1-img.5421231/ (magisk_patched-23000_11-1-1-1-img)
2. Put my device into fastboot.
3. Flash-it (fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-23000_11.1.1.1.img)
4. reboot (fastboot reboot)
Hi,
I'm on 11.1.1.1, and rooted successfully using the above method. I have received an OTA notification to download and update to 11.1.2.2. Can I update the OTA and upgrade? Will it cause any bootloop or wipe the device automatically?
Can anyone please help on this?
