EMUI 9 root updates - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

I just looked up a few threads about rooting EMUI 9.
The one and only who kinda managed to do it is the developer of Magisk John Wu.
If you wanna stay updated about rooting EMUI 9 on Huawei P20pro, you should follow this guy:
EMUI9 root
still NO EMUI 9 kernel sources released

Rooting / Magisk is one thing. I think in addition to that we also need a working twrp or some recovery for Emui 9 to be able to flash stuff with relative ease. On top of that the OEM unlock option is greyed out which is problematical itself. So, this is all gonna be a bit complicated.

Well, there is a modded versions of TWRP Mate Rs Porsche with working decryption and for most people including me, oem-unlock is not greyed out when you have unlocked frp and unlocked bootloader.
I'm on the final of EMUI 9. So the last important thing would be a rooted EMUI 9 to get some important things working.

Unlocked frp = oem unlock enabled in dev options
Unlock bootloader and frp itself doesn't cause "enable oem unlock" being greyed out. It's not getting greyed out just by upgrading to pie either. Upgrade to pie and factory reset does!
Good to know about twrp working on p20 pro

his point is, even you got the question wrong,
no files from that list will root your emui 9 simply by flashing any of it,
you gonna need a copy of RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img pulled from update.app of latest emui 9.0 firmware,
copy it to device with latest canary magisk & magisk manager installed,
patching the .img using that canary manager, and you will get patched_boot.img stored in download folder in that device,
copy it to your pc and flash it to recovery_ramdisk partition using fastboot,
or if you really are that lazy, simply download the prepatched one here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rhl405-ALbYrtGHilrNUR5Fuq4yATvTH/view?usp=drivesdk
and flash it from fastboot to your recovery_ramdisk partition

Thanks for help

It will seem dumb for some of you but important to me and others (i Hope there are some lol)..... so just to be clear :
1- do we have to follow these steps AFTER installing emui 9 ? coming from emui 8.1 161 with evira kernel and using mods i wanna start 100% fresh because first time i installed emui 9 163 i came back a week later because of battery consuption that was way worse and real bad SOT so it's major to me to proceed the best way - i have to go first to twrp and wipe all, data+system+caches before flashing emui 9 ?
2- any reason not to use the easiest way ? why to prefer the complicated one : pulling the file from update.app and copy and etc....?
3- magisk modules will be usable ?
Thanks to those of you who will bring light or give me confident in re-installing pie.
And of course merry Christmas everyone

1. Steps is for rooting, if you wanna start fresh, you can consider wiping /data after update. So none of your previous mods data no cache will tag along to your EMUI 9
2. Reason is, the difference of firmware versioning betweem region. You told me you updated to .163. My prepatched ramdisk is from C636 .168, although most of the time it can work universally across region and version (just like how custom recovery work in a universal way), there's no telling what huawei actually did between version update. So its always best to use and patch your own file. Since it will give you confidence, its your own doing after all.
3. I use youtubevanced, LKT, systemless host, swap torpedo, busybox and detach magisk modules, all work just fine on EMUI 9. You only need to redownload and reinstall all the modules (if you didnt wipe data, like me), because installation from oreo version wont work straight away on EMUI 9.
for extra information, SafetyNet and MagiskHide all working as well. I can use my banking app just fine.
as for precaution info,
i suggest you to use the flashy tools to install EMUI 9 from PC instead of using HuRU,
i did the HuRU way, and ends up with a messed up software serial number and broken recovery partition, meaning i can't flash TWRP, stock recovery nor a patched recovery ramdisk to acquired root. It will all fall to an error screen, telling me no recovery image available inside the system, and ask me to update system again. Fortunately the phone still boot just fine to system.
scratched my heads for hours until i manage to resolved it by flashing Recovery META and Recovery Vendor image through fastboot. After that i can reflash stock recovery, and the patched one (after i confirm stock one work fine)

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Kernel Patch for Android Pay (LineageOS)?

I'm creating this thread since we're not allowed to discuss a kernel patch for LOS 14.1 to make Android Pay work on the official thread. From my understanding the biggest issue right now is that Android Pay does not work on LOS because it cannot pass SafetyNet because of unlocked bootloader. We cannot lock the bootloader because we risk hard-bricking the device.
Some (most?) banking apps can still work by flashing Magisk 10.2 and then using Magisk Hide on the banking app, however Android Pay cannot.
Anyone who has any work-in-progress on a kernel patch feel free to post or let us know of any updates. Thank you.

Following the directions in that post I:
Flashed the Lineage addonsu-remove package because I was rooted the Lineage way
reboot
Flash the gemini-safetynetpass package
Reboot
That didn't work (Android Pay still rejected my device).
So I wiped System, Cache, Dalvik, then reinstalled latest LOS.
Reboot and reinstall the gemini-safetynet pass zip.
Still Android Pay won't work.
What is going wrong?
My final intention is to root the device with Magisk. If I install it now, will it help at all?
The patch is working for me. SafetyNet passed.
Please check SafetyNet at first.

SafetyNet fails... "CTS profile mismatch"
I'll try again with a fully clean install tomorrow - unless I can get a better suggestion before then.

I pass SafetyNet too now. Are you sure you removed root completely? Maybe run a root checker or something. Did you flash the kernel patch with "install zip" option on twrp? Which twrp version are you on? I'm on 3.0.3, it has a small bug for me (takes long time to start) but it's quite good and stable.

It's very weird. Seems like you do everything right. I'm very new to this, so maybe wait for an advanced user to answer. If I was you, I might try to play with the developer options (disable debugging, enable oem unlock etc) or reflash the patch zip or flash magisk zip (and then open magisk app and enable magisk hide).

Please try to downgrage TWRP to official 3.0.2-3 and install Lineage once again. Maybe that will help.
BTW, I've made first payment today on Mi 5 and it works flawlessly, so many thanks for the patch! [emoji1]

You must do something wrong, but I don't know what exactly. Did you try to downgrade your TWRP version to official? Can you upload screenshot from TWRP after applying the patch?

No. The only users I know who have it working are using TWRP 3.0.3 as well. I don't want to downgrade it.
My patch install dialogue all looks good, but nevermind. I wasted a day on this. Can't afford any more time, so I've restored my backup.
Maybe I'll try another time.
I have TWRP 3.0.2-3 and Android Pay is working fine. I've advised you to temporarily downgrade to official, because 3.0.3 is not perfect yet. Personally I had major problem with booting on encrypted device so I had to do that. You can upgrade again to 3.0.3 at any time, but it's your choice.

I've heard stories of people who had root left after a factory reset. Maybe try to re-flash SU uninstall zip? And if you ever installed magisk then flash magisk uninstall zip too... Just to make sure 100% there is no traces of root left.
Btw you are flashing the whole safetynetpass zip not just the .img right?
I'm running out of ideas...

Its ok. I'm over it.
I definitely didn't have root. I'm sure that wasn't the problem.
I even tried it with super clean install. No gapps, no other apps restored, just one to check safety net.
Thanks anyway. I'd still rather carry a credit card than go back to MIUI or waste more time trying.
Me too...
I tried that patch on my Mi5 32GB running RR v5.8.1 after unrooting it and found the device in a bootloop. Just like @AaronWhiting, I'm also flashing from TWRP v3.0.3 stable (but unofficial). Now that would be an entirely new case in itself (since he didn't have any bootloop), but I don't think RR could be an issue since it is also LOS-based, and in fact, I used the 'addonsu-remove-arm64-signed.zip' from LOS extras section to unroot the ROM (RR has built-in root enabled by default) and it worked. Just wanted to ask you guys @p8pepe and @AfouToPatisa , what setup did you have to get a positive result, like say the LOS/other ROM version on which you flashed the safetynetpass zip, device encryption state, and of course the TWRP version as well? Though I understand that you @AaronWhiting have stopped trying to get this thing working, I request you to post your device state as well.
As for me, I am presently on RR v5.8.1 official, GApps micro, no encryption and TWRP 3.0.3. Please add any other important parameter that I may have missed. Let us see if we can solve this out...:fingers-crossed:
Hey,
I have official TWRP 3.0.2-3, LOS 20170131 (clean install - no experimental migration used), opengapps nano. The device is encrypted.
I also had bootloops on TWRP 3.0.3 (probably due to encryption), so downgraded to official.
Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk
I'm also using TWRP 3.0.3 & LOS 20170131. Ext partitions all around. Nothing encrypted.
I have been with CM and now LOS since early days of Mi5. Used experimental migration to LOS originally, but went straight to latest version when I did the recent clean flash.
I suspect it's something to do with Bootloader / boot partition but don't have the know-how to troubleshoot further.
I sent @kyasu a PM asking him to check out this thread and help if he can since its his mod were talking about and he'll have the expertise, but haven't heard back yet.

Also, I'm surprised about your troubles with encryption on 3.0.3 @p8pepe since it was specifically meant to FIX those issues.

[GUIDE] Unbrick Huawei P8 Lite 2017 PRA-LX1 No Brand

Hi folks
When I get back the device from Huawei services, I receive a boot.img without encryption that let me able to backup and restore the firmware hundred times without errors .
In this tutorial I'll show you how to do that without need to bring the phone to Huawei services to reset the software, starting from now can be done as well.
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader, you know how to do that.
My own TWRP, that authorized Huawei store told should use my own TWRP to restore the phone, so get it from here by downloading the latest version.
Stock firmware, click here to download it, it's for single sim only.
Stock IMGS that needed for decrypt and to re-enable the encryption once firmware has been done with restoration, click here to download them.
7 zip to unpack the tar.gz.
Code:
[CENTER][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="4"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Please read the steps carefully because I'm not going to repeat them for each user, thanks[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER]
Reset Steps:
Download the C432B161.
Unpack the .tar.gz archive with 7 zip.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Rename from C432B161 to TWRP.
Copy to the Internal Storage.
Reboot to TWRP Recovery by the following command.
in the IMGS archive you will find a bootimage called boot.img, rename it to boot.emmc.win and copy to TWRP->BACKUPS->57UDU17709001769->2017-10-18--12-03-00_NRD90M_test-keys -> replace it and then follow the video
Go to the TWRP.
Wipe everything except the external_sd (the path where you copy the backup)
Tab on Restore.
Choose the copied backup make sure to rename from C432B161 to TWRP to match.
Select all partitions.
Swipe the screen and wait until finish.
Reboot to bootloader once done.
In the IMGS.tar.gz there is a file caller boot.img flash via fastboot as boot and will get booted like charm
Warning:
You are not allowed to copy or steal the files of my guide without ask my permissions.
Because I take almost week to upload the firmware after many times of failing upload.
Mention this guide for who looking helps to restore this device.
If I saw any piece of my contents in other threads, I'll report as abuse and ask a moderator to close his thread because I already saw someone rename my recovery and put it inside his thread without asking permission. that's all.
This guide could be helpful for who want to debrand his device, so we need tester.
to enable dual sim: you must flash an oeminfo partition from dual sim firmware.
Happy restoring.
Can I change from dualsim to monosim with this guide?

in case dual sim still appear even after restore, you have to flash the single sim oeminfo partition.

yup because some partitions is upgraded to b182 (dual sim), same thing happen to me b181 (single sim). for converting to single sim, I'll upload the oeminfo partition soon.
Note: this operation might will lock bootloader/frp automatically, so I recommend to check them via fastboot mod.

Wiped cache/data/system and restored everything that I was allowed to from your backup.
Meanwhile I changed name of directory: TWRP\BACKUPS\57UDU17709001769\2017-10-18--12-03-00_NRD90M_test-keys to
TWRP\BACKUPS\9DC7N17A17006059\2017-10-18--12-03-00_NRD90M_test-keys in order to make the backup visible in TWRP Restore menu.
(Hope that didn't change anything?)
Then I completed your "Reset Steps" tutorial, reboot and [...]
that hilarious green screen is still in place of previous Huawei:
After initial configuration my first impression was that I downloaded wrong backup, cause it looks more like the Elite ROM V6 (5 icons at bottom-screen menu, google searchbar, additional options (4 rows instead of 2) in upper-scroll menu and the pinkish-purple wallpaper) even the blinking NFC problem I had with that ROM is present there, but yet it's not that one. All informations in settings>about phone are from your backup, I even checked if the Android Studio will find my phone - and it did! That was unavaible in HassanMirza01's ROM.
So there's my question - does it suppose to look that way? Or I just messed something really hard and the visual theme files from previous OS's stayed somehow on my phone?
Don't take me wrong - after this tutorial I ended up with fully functional, nice looking (as soon as I change the pinkish wallpaper...) smartphone, so I'm really happy thanks to you!
Anyway I found it also interesting how the GreenScreen could ended up in such a place, so I'll try to figure that out.

even if downgraded will keep on b182 because some partitions will not downgraded since my twrp is designed to backup/restore only necessary partitions for fully worked firmware.
I also had to rename TWRP\BACKUPS\57UDU17709001769\2017-10-18--12-03-00_NRD90M_test-keys to

[GUIDE] How to install early Android Pie build on Nokia 5

UPDATE: ND1-612E released. If you have already installed ND1-612D or 558K, you can download it from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=287909 and install it manually by dialing *#*#874#*#*.
I strongly recommend you to unlock the bootloader before proceed - I won't tell how to unlock the bootloader in this guide.
Take a look to this video first if you want to know the experience of Android Pie: https://youtu.be/ay6CeonzoD8

In this guide, I'll provide two different methods to get Android Pie on your Nokia 5.
Both methods will erase your userdata.
I only tested it on TA-1024, but it should also work on TA-1053.
Here's an important hint: Nokia 5 (ND1) and Nokia 6 (D1C or PLE) can flash each other's stock firmware, including TA-1000 Chinese firmware.
So the TWRP ported for Nokia 6 can be also used on Nokia 5.
If you want to experience fully customized Android Pie (CN) on your Nokia 5, read this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-how-to-install-android-pie-build-t3879899/
To confirm your current firmware revision, please dial *#*#227#*#*.
If you're running ND1-558*-0-00WW-B01, you can use both methods.
If you're running ND1-560*-0-00WW-B01 or ND1-563*-0-00WW-B01, you can only use method 1.

Method 1: Use OST LA to flash my homebrew firmware
You should be familiar with this method.
1. Download "ND1-612C-0-00WW-B01.7z" from following site:
Or, you can also download ND1-558K-0-00WW-B01.7z instead then perform method 2.

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=287885
https://fih-firmware.hikaricalyx.com/index_en.html
2. If you have Android 8.x running with LOCKED bootloader, please downgrade bootloader back before processing. If you have unlocked bootloader, you needn't to downgrade the bootloader.
3. Open OST LA or NOST and load the mlf file, in download options, only choose "Normal Download" and "Erase userdata".
If your phone boots suddenly when flashing splash, close OST LA and force power off your phone then flash again.
You can download NOST from https://github.com/StollD/NOST
4. All done, enjoy Android Pie.
Method 2: OTA Update from ND1-558J or ND1-558K
1. Download packages from here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=287909
https://tpedutw-my.sharepoint.com/:...1BsF1FoPk--uIBfiMbYurDs7NCwOHd05fanA?e=MToYsb
2. Place both packages to root directory of internal storage.
5. Dial *#*#874#*#* to update.
6. After update installed, it will tell you "Encryption failed", click "Factory Reset".
If your phone encountered boot loop, you can enter recovery to perform factory reset manually.
Here's how:
1. Press and hold both volume keys and power key.
2. When you see "shutdown device:" on the left up corner of the screen, release these keys.
3. Connect your phone to a charger.
4. When you see a charging animation, press and hold volume up key and power key.
5. When you feel the phone vibrates, release the power key but only hold the volume up key.
6. When you see Android Robot lying and "No command", press the volume up key with power key holding to get the recovery menu.
7. I needn't to mention what to do next.

7. Enjoy Android Pie.
FAQ:
Q1: Can I root it?
A1: Yes, but you must have unlocked bootloader, and Magisk 18 seems unusable.
Q2: How to downgrade bootloader in case I want to roll back without unlocked bootloader?
A2: Rename existing Android 7.x or 8.x OTA package for your model to ND1-9999-0-00WW-B09-update.zip. Then you should know what to do next.
Q3: When will you unlock Nokia X7 / Nokia 8.1?
A3: I don't know!
Q4: When will you get Nokia 9 Penta Camera Phone?
A4: I don't know, don't ask.

You still need to check if you're running ND1-558J. If yes, download both packages and follow the guide.
You'll need to update twice.

(my device is TA-1027, and my version was ND1-558J-0-00WW-B01 before the process)
it is not necessary to unlock the bootloader of the device, in my case (I do not know if it was just good luck) but do not need to restore the phone to the factory state (keep my complete info, even some banking applications that are more delicate than usual with the updates)
-----
Installed on a TA-1027, method 2
No problems encountered after 3 hours of testing.
Does the temporary bootloader unlock method suffice for said unlocked bootloader requirements?
I can't get NOST working as it says i have to be in critical bootloader state(?)
When doing OTA update method, it says file not found
+1
One question
Would I be able to further update my phone by OTA updates or not
the link is broken
the link to download the file from nd1-558j can not be access
Looks like a great tutorial. Too bad that official version is just around the corner. On the other hand.. Are there any plans to make NOST linux-friendly? Not talking about wine.

Are you asking or telling?
I just ordered and my phone is on its way. It will be my first time with anything that is not a Samsung.
I'd love to root it with Magisk but I understand its a new model, I won't find detailed procedures etc. Anyway, do any of the more experienced rooters and modders have advice for me?
Should I start by trying unlocking the bootloader with some procedure from another OnePlus model? Which one? Thanks
EDIT:
let me elaborate a bit more on why I am asking. I realize it might not be possible to fully root the phone now, maybe some details need to be ironed out. But I would love to avoid having to do later any steps that involve losing data.
Typically, the unlocking of bootloader clears everything in your phone, right? So it would be nice to get that part done as soon as it arrives, even if I can only do the rest later, once the pros develop the tutorials here.
By "do the rest later" I mean install a recovery like TWRP or OrangeFox, and put Magisk on it, EdXposed, etc.
Does my strategy make sense?

Hey! Congrats on the new phone! I got it too. Your strategy does make sense to me but there are other things that need to be figured out too like the A-B system of Rom handling phones have. So I'd say wait for a bit and take a backup and restoe it when you root eventually.
The main reason I want root is to have proper, complete backups.
How exactly does one backup without root? I know, Google data is on the cloud, and I can copy files form the SD card, but that means dozens of wasted hours re-configuring every single option in every single app (I'm that kind of guy)... sigh...
Thanks for the tip on A/B updates, I went reading about it, it's news to me and it is quite interesting.

exactly, wait for a sometime and then rooting is better.
You can download the oos ZIP and extract the boot image, patch it with magisk app, unlock the bootloader (this will wipe your data!) boot to the boot image you made and install magisk via the app (direct install)
Rooting oneplus phones are fairly easy tho.

Safety net works with magisk hide + renaming magisk app
Installing ROOT
1. Reboot the device in TWRP recovery
2. Flashing Magisk
3. Reboot into the system.
4. Install Magisk manager. Rebuild Magisk with a different name and check the box on Magisk Hide.
5. Install 4 add-ons from under Magisk.
Checking.

Question How to root Redmi Note 11?

Hi. I am new to this site.
I want to root my Redmi Note 11 but I don't know how to.
I tried looking up online but all I could find were guides on other devices. And outdated too.
I read about Magisk and Magisk Hide which allows you to pass SafetyNet but I also read that it's developer joined Google. So I don't know if it will work or not.
Please help me.

The first step is to unlock your bootloader which usually takes a week. Do that first, then you can browse more and wait for answers while you wait
I have already requested Mi for permission to unlock bootloader. I had to wait 5 days and today is the last day.

Make sure to backup all your data before unlocking bootloader as it will wipe them.
I strongly recommend flashing Xiaomi.eu Stable ROM first as it offers more features than stock and also, you don't have to look for the boot.img again. But in case you want to keep it stock, you want to find the flashboot ROM with the exact same version as the one you have right now and extract the boot.img from it. Then you want to get magisk on your phone, transfer the boot.img to your phone, patch it, transfer it back to your computer, and then use ADB to flash the boot.img

Thank you for replying.
I am quite newbie in rooting.
I can understand enough to follow your instructions but not enough to really know what I am doing.
Can you please elaborate each step and what it does?
Or maybe refer me to a trusted guide where I can understand the tidbits.

I think this sums it pretty well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/installing-miui-eu-rom-and-root.4426937/
- Backing up data: Back up your data so it won't be lost during bootloader unlock
- Unlock bootloader: allows you to flash into your phone
- Flashing Xiaomi.eu (optional): Their ROM is based on MIUI Global/China which has way more features than region based ROMs and no bloatware. Cons is you have to manually update it and you can't update system apps (as they're also modified to disable ads). Pros is, you know the version you just flashed and the boot.img is also there.
- Finding boot.img: This is the file you want to patch if you want to root your phone. You can find this by extracting the fastboot ROM and it should be inside. In case of stock MIUI, you have to download the exact version that you have right now on https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/ , get the flashboot version, extract, and boot.img should be inside
The rest should be explained in the post above and I think this will also help in installation of Magisk https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
@notBradPitt Hey, is this the correct fastboot rom for my device?

Yes. After unlocking bootloader, make sure USB debugging is enabled (because you just reset the phone), boot into flashboot mode, and run the "first install" script. Make sure your cables are connected properly so it doesn't corrupt any files. First time booting will take around 15-20 minutes for me, so this is normal and you shouldn't panic.
After that you can continue with the root process. The boot.img should be in "images" folder. Once you are done with it, you can try the tools listed here (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-pass-safetynet-android/) to pass SafetyNet. You can test the SafetyNet using the tool in Magisk or you can use YASNAC (from Google Play or GitHub)

It's nice.
Xiaomi eu is certainly cleaner than stock. Adless and bloatless. It has new features although some of the stock's features are missing. Play Store is jittery for unknown reasons.
And when I try to open a file in another app, the app list appears quite late and it's laggy too. But that's all and I don't mind it.
Thanks again for recommending it.

Yes, data is only needed when you request for permission
Assuming you have unlocked the bootloader
Step by Step Guide:
1. Download Magisk APK and install it
2. Patch your Recovery (Stock, TWRP, Skyhawk, etc) in magisk app and copy the patched img to Computer
3. Switch it off, then boot to bootloader, and type "fastboot flash boot recovery_patched.img" where recovery_patched.img is your file name.
4. Reboot (Might take longer than usual) and open magisk to confirm the the result of actions.
