Magisk on Mate 9 Pro

Is someone had more luck with Magisk than me ?? I have a rooted LON-L29C432B225. Was trying Magisk 13.3 but without luck. Phone restarts automatically during magisk installation through twrp.

I have finaly made it Magisk is working without problems on Mate 9 Pro (LON-L29C432B225).
1. Install latest twrp recovery - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-huawei-mate-9-t3515617
2. Unroot rom, easy way i to download boot.img and flash by fastboot flash boot boot.img (https://www.dropbox.com/s/sj5su702r8omp2u/BOOT.img?dl=0)
3. Thanks to @ante0 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2247733), he made a modified magisk package - https://mega.nz/#!QhMmRDgC!c3UqYIoaGtsekmJbWoP5x90spHbXVhircmmA_68s3pY
4. Flash magisk in twrp
5. After reboot you receive info about magisk update to 13.3. Mark in magisk manager settings "keep force encryption" and allow to update.
6. After next reboot you shuld have working magisk and SafetyNet status green
I hope it will help someone

On AL00 mate 9, followed the same procedure except downloading the boot.img as restored by huawei eRecovery, only unlocked the bootloader and didn't do anything else. Can install 13.2 modified version but safetynet fail, update to 13.3 with keep force encryption then bootloop. Checked the magisk log nothing seems wrong when can boot. Root works fine. Any help? Thanks

Guys any updates on Magisk v14 with xposed on our phone? fw B225

Help from Rooting to Xposed, rookie explanation

Hi guys. I had a multiple day struggle and all the manuals were only partial, so I try to summarize all the steps taken to unlock my phone, root it with magisk and install Xposed SDK28.
1) Unlock bootloader
It takes time and I had to wait that mentioned 168h (it may differ) and there is nothing you can do about it on your K20/9T
I used the official xiaomi unlock tool, latest version, and followed all the steps there.
2) Install TWRP
Oh god, on this phone it gave me headache and I almost bricked my phone and it convinced me to write you a manual just in case you are lost as I had been. Here you go.
There are three versions of TWRP on this forum and I selected the Chinese one (no greek nor russian)
After unlocking the bootloader, I only flashed the twrp (no other files, just the img with the rom) and then did fastboot reboot.
It stucked on booting. Here I pressed volume up and power and it took me to the newly installed TWRP. This didn't work with an other TWRP than Chinese. I ended up in the bootloop to fastboot only.
Then I installed the ROM. In my case Pixel Experience, latest version. The manual mentioned in this forum tells you to install Magisk together with your ROM. It again caused a bootloop on my device, so I wiped my device in TWRP, installed clean Pixel Experience ROM, and let it boot without magisk and permissive.
I checked via root checker if my device is rooted. And it was not.
3) Root via Magisk/SU applicable
Then I downloaded
Magisk Manager 7.3.2.apk and installed it with confirmation in settings that I allow the whatever file manager to install apps from unknown source.
In the Magisk Manager I downloaded a zip with Magisk and rebooted to TWRP (turn off the device, and then volume up and power)
I flashed the zip downloaded by that manager - no wipe
rebooted back to system and checked the root. Rooted.
4) Xposed
Download Magisk manager 7.3.2.
Install modules via Magisk Manager
- Riru Core v19.4 or higher
- Riru - EdXposed v0.4.5.1._beta(4463) (YAHFA)
restart your device
Then install EdXposedInstaller_V2.2.4-release.apk and check if it works.
restart your device and you can start installing modules. Even Gravitybox (P) works!
I really hope I briefly helped you guys. Viva la modding and enjoy your cool Xiaomi. Thanks to all the contributors on xda, thanks to them I was able to summarize this little manual.
In case you stuck somewhere and need to recover anything such as boot.img or any other shananingans you did with your phone, as I did too, you need to download the miflash tool, in this case the latest version didn't work so I used 2014.05.09.0, and downloaded the official fastboot rom davinci_eea_global_images_V10.3.7.0.PFJEUXM_20190602.0000.00_9.0_eea_eab1d1cc52, flashed it with miflash (around 6 minutes), stucked again in bootloop, rebooted to TWRP via volume up and power during the bootloop, and followed the steps from flashing the TWRP (after MiFlash it has only the default MiRecovery) and installed my ROM.

So how to root Android 10?

If we don't have TWRP,
How do we root the device?

Magisk has the option to patch a boot.img file. Technically, you could:
1. pull the boot.img file from the A10 OB1 zip
2. copy it to the phone's internal storage
3. install latest magisk manager, click on install - patch boot.img - choose the boot.img
4. copy the patched boot.img to a pc with ADB and USB drivers
5. put the phone in fastboot mode, sideload the boot.img
I have no idea if this would work, but you could give it a go. I believe that someone else already made a guide for exactly this here in the OP6T forum.

Refer to the twrp thread for OB 10.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/how-to-flash-twrp-android-10-beta-1-t3986345
Either do the OTA local upgrade and magisk uninstall then install to inactive slot method, or use the boot patch which there is another thread on that on the ROM Dev section.
I used the first, worked fine. But there is no supported twrp yet. Only magisk root is officially supported on Q.

Hello, After Root, it's impossible for me to boot on recovery mode
Always i'll want to do or, thé phone reboot on fastmode.

Yes, likely because the update flashed to the inactive, and there is no recovery now. So...if you want recovery, only way is to full wipe and do a MSM or flash all and wipe with older stable.
OP support/forums made announcements on their thread on what will happen with upgrading, or rolling back.
They have a rollback file you can download if you want it all working again including recovery. But you will get wiped as mentioned, and be back on the last stable and firmware. Then you can twrp and root all over again.
That is Beta testing for you!!

What is update process for OP6T 9.0.16 > 10.3.3 rooted [Global]

I have OP6T OxygenOS 9.0.16 and I would like to update it to the latest 10.3.3 with root.
What should be my process of doing so? I have not been in touch with rooting for the past 3 years so I don't want to mess things up. Another note is that while I am on OxygenOS 9.0.16 I tried to root it which was failed, but now few banking and calling apps such as TextNow thinks that my phone is rooted and they can not run -- but my phone is not properly rooted according to root verification apps.
Please tell me how should I do the update to the latest version from this point and then I would like to unlock bootloader and install recovery and root it as well.
Please advice.
BTW my OP6T is global

Flash OOS full rom zip on both slots using TWRP also flash TWRP installer zip on both slots reboot recovery flash magisk reboot system. Easy peasy.
Example:
Boot recovery: fastboot boot twrp.img
flash OOS 10.3.3 full rom zip
flash TWRP installer zip, reboot recovery,
flash OOS 10.3.3 full rom zip, format data, wipe data,
flash TWRP installer zip
Reboot recovery, flash magisk,
reboot system.
Note: I use a USB stick. I flash magisk zip off my USB stick.
That's what I do when I use OOS on my 6t far as installation goes.

Are you sure there is no need to update to 9.0.17 and then 10.3.3?
I've asked once and someone said that 9.0.17 is neccessary before update to 10.3.x.
Also there is option to flash from system without losing magisk modules:
1. Flash manually from update center (do not reboot)
2. Enter magisk and flash to another slot (after OTA)
3. Flash TWRP installer like magisk module
4. Reboot
But I'm not sure if I remember it correctly.

10.3.3 is all that you need. 9.0.17 isn't the only way anymore.

I have a T-Mobile SIM unlock OnePlus 6t and I converted it to an international model so when my conversation was done I was on OOS 9.0.1.1 and I booted TWRP and installed 10.3.4 full rom on both slots and also recovery installer and all just like my previous posts stated and everything went fine. I used mauronofrio's TWRP the version just before the latest 3.4xx when I did this.
I always download quite a bit of various firmwares and also TWRP versions before I start flashing things just in case something goes wrong I already have other things maybe I can use and I don't have to stop and wait for some download to finish... And I'm quite sure you know this but definitely make a backup of everything beforehand to USB or transfer it to your pc just in case you end up needing it as a precaution.
Edit added:
I am assuming that you already unlocked your bootloader... I believe everyone knows to do that that's on XDA forums before you can do anything to any device .. I say this after reading post below me here. I guess I should have said that earlier but I just assume everyone knows that on the forums... My bad. ??
From fastboot on Linux PC:
sudo fastboot oem unlock (then hit enter on keyboard) use volume keys to move to unlock option and your Power button to select it and confirm. For more info see: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t-unlock-bootloader-root/
Super easy to unlock bootloader just remember it does wipe your device clean so move anything to want to PC or USB stick first...

I would think you could just update oxygenOS to latest then re-root no? Assuming your already bootloader unlocked which it seems like would be the case if you have an obsolete magisk installation.
Edit: re-reading your post maybe it is not unlocked as you failed to root. In this case just unlock then flash the latest fastboot image and then magisk as others have already stepped you through. You will lose data when you unlock so backup first.

So if I'm on 9.0.16 I could flash latest OOS directly from TWRP and then flash magisk? And no data loss? Of course I'm rooted with bootloader unlocked.

Oh dear this process is getting harder because recently I was busy doing other things it sounds way harder it actually is. Isnt there a way I pay someone on this forum so that user help me do this. Like download stuff links and proper version and follow me up with it because i want to do this without messing things up!

It is indeed a tough job. This A/B partition has had a lot of people bootloop/soft bricked their phones.
However, you need not pay anybody anything. If you are on stock, I would've recommended you upgrading it via Oxygen updater (a 3rd party app on the play store) and then using the latest recoveries (TWRP 3.4) and flashing it via Fastboot mode.
It is super easy.

Rooting Help

I've been running custom roms since before android was a thing so I'm usually pretty good at this stuff.
I'm running 11.0.9.9 IN11AA
It refuses to root. I'm not sure if there is some step I'm missing that's so obvious nobody mentions it?
I was rooted, but when the new Magisk 23 came out without Magisk hide.. it was a big problem for me. I have corporate apps that will refuse to work on a rooted device. I restored the stock images (just like I do to get my OTA).. but then I uninstalled Magisk 23 and Installed 22.1. I then patched the bootloader (Dire3ct Install) and all was good, until I rebooted and had no root.
My bootloader is unlocked.
So I downloaded the full stock rom v11.0.9.9 IN11AA directly from Oneplus.
Extracted payload.bin
Used Payload dumper to get the proper boot.img.
Copied boot.img to my device and used magisk 22.1 to patch the file.
Downloaded the patched boot.img to my desktop.
Used ADB to flash it
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
Nothing. No Root.
I tried this over and over with different versions of magisk.
I tried downloading pre-patched version, and using fastboot boot patched_boot.img.
The device just hangs, and then boots using the stock image. No root.
I have no idea what could be wrong.
Ideas?

I just updated from v11.0.8.8 to v11.0.9.9 today on the EU variant.
Downloaded the update via Oxygen Updater, then used the built in updater with the local file downloaded.
Before restarting the device, opened up Magisk, then clicked "Install to inactive slot" since the new update gets put on the inactive slot. After it installed, rebooted the phone, and done. Updated to latest, and kept root. Didn't even turn off the modules, although I only have 1 installed.
This is my usual method to keep root while updating.
I'm not sure where you got your Magisk from, but i'm using v23.0 from the official github page (HERE), and it still has MagiskHide built-in, and currently using it for all of my banking apps, and it works.
Most likely the issue is that you have used the old Magisk version to patch the file.
Download the app from the link above, and use that to patch your boot.img file.
While the extracted file should work as flashed, I like to just boot from it rather than flash it and make it "permanent".
Use fastboot boot patched_boot.img to boot using the file once only.
After starting up, you should have Magisk installed in a couple of seconds. It might prompt you to restart the phone when opening it first time, but just ignore that and do not restart as you'll lose the root. Alternatively, you can install the app when you're not rooted yet, and when you boot using the patched boot.img, you won't need to restart.
When done, Magisk should tell that you have 23.0(23000) installed.
Then just use the built-in Install > Direct Install (Recommended) option within Magisk to install it to the current slot.
Do NOT install it to inactive slot. This option only to be used when updating via OTA.
Other option:
Download the Magisk app from the link above, and rename it to magisk.zip then copy it to your phone.
Download TWRP from HERE to your PC and use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img to flash this recovery.
Reboot to recovery. (Might take 2-3 mins to boot first time)
Flash the magisk.zip using recovery.
That's all you should need to be able to root.

I appreciate the help.
I was so hopeful you gave me what I needed, but it didn't work.
So, It wasn't an update issue... it was more of an attempt to downgrade Magisk.
I always OTA the same way as you and it always works.
I also always get Magisk from the official Github page.
What I got excited about was that I wasnt aware there was a working TWRP! So I thought.. THAT will fix it.
I didnt flash it, I just booted from it. I flashed Magisk that way, BUT... still not rooted.
Here is the interesting bit.. when flashing Magisk via TWRP, it detected that my boot.img was already Magisk patched and not stock (Which is right). It's like the boot.img is correctly patched, Magisk just isn't seeing it.
I'd be ok with a full wipe and factory reset at this point, but I'm not even sure that will fix it.
** Edit - I tried manually flashing the latest full OOS downloaded from Oneplus. It didnt help. I finally factory reset and it's working now.

Agreed, this is a great method. I tried that too before I ended up doing a reset... no good. I somehow broke something with the rom outside of Magisk so that Magisk wouldnt work. Whatever it was, A full wipe fixed it..
