Hi I've unlocked the bootloader of my phone but I can't find any recoveries to push through ADB, therefore I can't flash SU. Does someone have a solution ?
Allright, for the newcomers, I've found a solution for this : (it is very important that you don't update your rom if you've rooted your phone, unless you want a 150$ brick I guess !)
Don't forget to install adb before anything
1. Enable USB debugging in developers option.
2. Connect your phone to a computer and then launch cmd. Type «adb reboot fasboot».
3. Once in fastboot mode we will flash TWRP by typing this : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img».
4. Unplug and reboot your device, on the nag screen keep pressing the up volume button to enter recovery. If it doesn't work then choose shutdown and hit all three buttons while it's booting.
5. Once you are in TWRP, backup everything to extsdcard.
6. Go to wipe and format /data and wipe it under advanced wipe. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER PARTITION !!! ONLY DATA.
7. Once it's done reboot the device. You should have a message telling you that the encryption failed, click reset phone.
8. It should launch TWRP choose reboot to bootloader.
9. Once in fastboot mode type this : «fastboot flash recovery 2ndreco.img» then type : «fastboot reboot».
10. Your phone should now display : «Factory reset low level» when you click reset phone. Once it's done it will automatically reboot but don't let it finish his boot sequence yet. On the nag screen keep pressing the up volume to enter recovery and then choose shutdown.
11. Boot in fastboot mode again and type : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img», then : «fastboot reboot».
Hold the vol.up button while on nag screen to enter TWRP.
If you don't enter TWRP after you typed fastboot reboot and hit the vol.up button but you enter erecovery that's ok, in this case what you need to do is to choose shutdown. Then hold vol.up, vol.down and power buttons to enter TWRP ! Go to install and flash magiskv13.3.zip and voilà your phone is now rooted !
I've not tried but I think you could restore the data partition with TWRP once you've done all those steps but I can't guarantee you anything so this is why I've told you to backup your data.

2ndreco.img file link here

Si I've been able to install twrp but when I try to flash SuperSu.zip it doesn't work. It's crazy !
For those who wants to know, I've tried everything and the only way to go is to format and wipe data in order to disable dm-verity. But if you do that you won't be able to go further because the rom asks you to crypt your datas before continuing....

Hi guys ! Sorry for the wait but here it is, my tutorial to the graal, root on this device :
1. Enable USB debugging in developers option.
2. Connect your phone to a computer and then launch cmd. Type «adb reboot fasboot».
3. Once in fastboot mode we will flash TWRP by typing this : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img».

6. Go to wipe and format /data and wipe it under advanced wipe. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER PARTITION !!! ONLY DATA.
7. Once it's done reboot the device. You should have a message telling you that the encryption failed, click reset phone.
8. It should launch TWRP choose reboot to bootloader.
9. Once in fastboot mode type this : «fastboot flash recovery 2ndreco.img» then type : «fastboot reboot».
10. Your phone should now display : «Factory reset low level» when you click reset phone. Once it's done it will automatically reboot but don't let it finish his boot sequence yet. On the nag screen keep pressing the up volume to enter recovery and then choose shutdown.
11. Boot in fastboot mode again and type : «fastboot flash recovery 1streco.img», then : «fastboot reboot».
Hold the vol.up button while on nag screen to enter TWRP.
If you don't enter TWRP after you typed fastboot reboot and hit the vol.up button but you enter erecovery that's ok, in this case what you need to do is to choose shutdown. Then hold vol.up, vol.down and power buttons to enter TWRP ! Go to install and flash magiskv13.3.zip and voilà your phone is now rooted !

Hey, great that you found your way home.

Can you tell us a little more about these two files? Where have you found them? (Not wanting to sound too paranoid but you know...)
I've found 1streco.img on a Chinese board. It's the work of a guy who managed to make TWRP available to us, users of honor 6c. The second one is the standard recovery image of Honor 6c. Those files are good, don't worry. Once your phone is rooted and everything works good, you can of course update magisk through TWRP to the lastest version.
OK, I have been trying around now for an hour or so... I have one real problem and one possible problem:
1. (the real one) Using Win7 64 bit, each time I send the the phone into fastboot mode, the system tries to install "MTP USB device" drivers... without any success so far. That's why the phone boots normally again. I haven't been able to solve that so far (installed HiSuite for example, didn't help).
2. (the possible one) Should the bootloader be unlocked? If yes, I have to admit I haven't found a way to do that so far. :-/
Of course the bootloader must be unlocked before doing anything, you can request a code here on Huawei website : http://en.ui.vmall.com/plugin.php?id=unlock
bravo there is machine back or full backup with recovery
Did you manage to root your phone ?
beautiful, can you install a module on magisk? if yes how because when installing the modules I get a failure when editing magisk.img thanks ?
No, you can't because of dm-verity, you.can manually install via recovery tho.
For the Russian version 6s failed to implant. ADB reboot fastboot this command does not put the phone in fastboot mode.
As you may imagine this simple guide will show you how to root your device with magisk from twrp recovery.
I know, there is already a guide by jashancheema that shows how to root this device, however it's difficult to update the system once you are rooted. In my opinion the way i'm about to show you is faster and easier.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for ANY damage done to your phone, act at your own risk.
That's how you can root your phone with magisk and recovery without disabling ota.
1. First download magisk manager and magisk flashable zip from here (official thread)
Install magisk manager and copy the magisk flashable zip somewhere in your device or sd.
2. Download mohancm twrp recovery (recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo) from here (official thread)
NOTE: do not download the installer, you need the .img file bootable from fastboot (recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img)
3. Copy recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img into the fastboot folder.
4. Enable developer option from in the device, enable OEM unlocking.
5. turn off your device and enter into fastboot mode by holding voume down + power button, then connect your device to the pc.
6. now open fastboot and type this to check the connection, if the terminal return an andress your phone is correctly configured.
Code:
fastboot devices
7. type this from fastboot to unlock your bootloader.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
8. now type this to boot your recovery (REMEMBER TO COPY THE RECOVERY IMG INTO THE FASTBOOT FOLDER)
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img
9. once your recovey boot flash the magisk zip and reboot.
NOTE: do not install or flash twrp into your device or you won't be able to update through ota.
---------------------HOW TO UPDATE-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you will receive the update the only thing you need to do is boot twrp, flash magisk unistaller (that you can find here ) and update.
1. type this to boot your recovery (REMEMBER TO COPY THE RECOVERY IMG INTO THE FASTBOOT FOLDER)
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img

All works!!! :good::good::good::good::good:
WORK
I tried, it works. thank you!
funziona da dio! fantastico! bella guida
Great work!
i already flash twrp on my device, so i cannot install update OTA until i go back to unroot?
@H.A.L. 9000, I'm sorry for my ignorance but I wonder whether the bootloader unlock passage (that'd reset everything) is inescapable after installing an OTA update
Can I install ota with the unlocked bootloader?
Thanks for this I was always confused on how to update the phone after magisk.
Edit: you think it's possible to use a custom kernel with magisk and still maintain ota?
Thank you, the rooting part worked flawlessly. :good: Now waiting for the next OTA to see if that will work well too.
1. USB debugging doesn't have to be allowed?
2. Updating Android can be done with PC only?
I did exactly the same (as nicely outlined in MP) for the last few updates, and can confirm it's working perfectly. I was using this as the 'normal' way failed due to unknown reasons.
This approach does not required a patched boot-image available, so imho it's more robust and reliable than the 'normal' method.

Can't I just install syst update through twrp?
Rooting Mi A1 using this method worked. But the guide needs updating:
1.You must enable usb debugging
2.You must install magisk manager after unlocking bootloader. Installing it before is useless because unlocking bootloader will wipe all data.

Well, that happened to me.. Total WIPE... So, i decide to stop. But this night i'll try again, after a full backup. For me this is important because i need to use Android Auto, with aamirror.
I do regular backups so it was ok with me. It also should be in the guide as a first step: backup your phone. It seems like the guide is not for beginners... After rooting, you can face two problems:
1. From time to time, Magisk crashes. Just open it again.
2. There will be a camera lag. Installing a Magisk module should solve it(I haven't tried it yet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqcQKqhL3ok
there is some indication that 'fastboot boot twrp.img' wipes all the data!
Not sure when it started and if there is a way to avoid it - any idea?

If you using Havoc 2.0, linke me, it's everything,you need! This twrp lets you boot up all treble GSI Roms....
And otas should be installed normal.
1. Uninstall magisk
2. Install ota, not reboot
3. install magisk
4. Flash twrp and boot up with patched twrp via fastboot
You never boot up without root... So everything's fine with modules and otas doesn't touch vendor and encryption...

Hey guys,
in the past I've been made a root to my phone, and I set it to unroot but did not relock the bootloader.
So - my bootloader is still unlocked.
There is any way that I can return to root device without losing data(without wiping?)?
Unlocking the bootloader is what usually causes a reset of your phone. If you have OEM Unlock still enabled, you should be able to just boot a Recovery (Nebrassy TWRP for OP7P) and install Magisk from there.
Download the latest Magisk apk from the github and rename it from .apk to .zip
Copy the .zip to internal storage
Reboot your phone to bootloader:
Power off
Hold Volume up+down and power button
Connect phone to PC
In bootloader mode and use following command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
"twrp.img" should be the name of the recovery you downloaded.
In TWRP:
Select Install
Flash Magisk zip
If you want to install the TWRP:
go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP
Reboot
You should now have Magisk root installed.

Not many these days. Swift module for theming, viper4android, busybox, soundpacks maybe and systemless hosts for adblocking.
I have a A127F and i recently flashed new firmware. I want to now root it but i cannot boot to recovery or bootloader, and it wont recognize my device on adb. oem is unlocked and usb debugging is on. what do i do? is this a common problem?
You need to unlock the bootloader. Just cause you ticked orm unlock doesnt unlock it. Power completely of. Hold vol +- and pwr and plug in usb cable. Should get the option to long press up to unlock bootloader. Then put it in dl mode and flash some stock to get it working.
To root it you need the ap file you used to flash. Download magisk, transfer ap to downloads folder, patch the ap with magisk. Transfer the magisk patched tar back to pc(rooting wipes data so you know). Flash the patched ap file. Reboot and set it up and redownload magisk and open it should say additional setup required and will reboot. Once back get twrp app to flash twrp to recovery. There you rooted and have twrp.
On my device data was encrypted so i had to do the following in wipe click format data. Then go to advanced and click terminal then run the command multidisabler. After you run that reboot to recovery then reboot to system. After you get the phone setup again reinstall magisk and redo the additional setup required and after that your data should be decrypted.
