Yes this is Systemless, OTA should be fine - I've manually flashed OTA via dload but not tested normal OTA upgrade

will this root method have any drawbacks compared to the standard method( installing twrp and then flasing super su) am i going to be able to do the same things that im able to do with any rooted device? thanks in advice

SuperSu does not currently work on the P9 with Nougat, partially due to lack of loop mount support in the kernel. Kernel sources are needed to rectify this, so I encourage people to email Huawei asking for their Nougat kernel patches.
PHH is not perfect (some apps don't work fully) but it's the best we have right now

ohh okay thanks for the info and also the work, i guess im waiting till the fully working method is out.
I've heard that they will relase the source near this month or the next when they finsh updating every p9

Is it possible to use this prerooted boot.img for l19 honor 8?

No. It's for P9, Honor 8 isn't P9, right?

Thank you for the guide, everything worked as described. I've got my P9 with c432 b378, rooted and TWRP installed.
By testing so far, RootChecker, AdAway (v3.2), Titanium and Reboot (to boot into TWRP or fastboot) all work fine with this phh's SuperUser
PS: It's possible to install Chainfire's SuperSU instead, and Viper4Android works too, see e.g.

Pokemon GO on Oneplus One custom ROM

Hey guys
Is there any method working with the newest version of Pokemon GO to allow Oneplus One custom ROM users to play this game? The Internet is full of methods, I've already tried some but didn't work. Do you have any working idea for now?
Thanks in advance
Check your inbox.
But for all the other folks.
1. Install suhide http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/suhide-t3450396 (via recovery)
2. Install root switch apk https://www.asus.com/zentalk/tw/for...wNDk1fGJmMjhjZGZifDE0NzY0MDUzNjB8MHwxNzM1NDI=
3. Start the root switch app and toggle the first switch off (this will "disable" your root).
4. Play the game
5. If your ready playing and you wanna use root again just toggle the switch back on in the root switch app.
Just search for magisk

In the topic of suhide you can find the following
Requirements
- SuperSU v2.78 SR1 or newer (link)
- SuperSU installed in systemless mode
- Android 6.0 or newer
- TWRP (3.0.2 or newer, with access to /data - link!) or FlashFire (link)
So yes, you need supersu.

This mean normally flashed SuperSU.zip or I need to do something more?
Because I just flashed SuperSU SR4.zip and after that I wanted suhide0.55.zip and I can't "error 1 - check if you have atleast SR1 installed"
Can it be because of some kind of "november update"?

Help!!!!

Hi,i updated my Htc A9 device from Marshmallow stock rom to Nougat official rom.
My Device Info:
***UNLOCKED***
S-OFF
CID BS_US001
MID 2PQ912000
Os 2.18.617.10​​I decided to root my device but i have problem on that!!!
Step 1- installed twrp 3.1.1-0 by fastboot mode
Step 2-installed Magisk Manager and download magisk v 12.0 zip file from magisk manager.
Step 3-Reboot to twrp recovery and select (Swipe To Allow Modifictions),then i flashed Magisk v 12.zip file from install menu and after that reboot device.(recovery log)
Step 4-Run Magisk Manager and see this Status:
installed magisk ver 12.0 --->Iatest version magisk installed and Properly rooted--->8:MAGISKSU
(tpjohnwu)Pic 1.
Superuser show on Magisk manager menu(Pic 2) and apps send request for permission to #superuser(Pic 3).
On the surface everything is OK but i have problem,for example i installed Link2SD app to use that for uninstall system apps and freez apps but does not work properly & show error msg(Pic 4).
I would be honored if you tell me what is my problem,thanks...
Hi, did you install busybox? I'm not familiar with Magisk nor Link2SD, but I can imagine there's an option to "ignore systemless root" so you'll be able to make changes to the system partition.
Do other root apps have problems as well?

I think you'll be better off if you install the latest LOS ROM (20170530) and flash SuperSU. I don't know about Magisk, but I've never experienced problems with SuperSU. Once rooted, install busybox from the playstore and install into "system/xbin/"
In SuperSU make sure you override LOS root settings since it's set to off by default. By the way, you can turn on LOS root settings manualy. That way you don't need Magisk or SuperSU at all. Settings can be unlocked by tapping the build number several times in settings-->Device status. A menu will be unlocked called Developers options. Within that menu you'll find the root settings.
Good luck

Want to root but new here

Hello, I buyed my Mate 9 after having a really Bad experience with the Essential Phone. I have no regrets getting this phone but I want root on it.
I have read some threads but all I can find is Oreo related ones.
I would love to have root on my phone, if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be awesome.
I have the MHA-L29 on Android 7.0
BUILD: MHA-L29C567B190

Thanks mate! I have read everything on that thread! Very helpful guide.
So if I just want root on my phone ( No custom roms or anything) the steps I need is
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Flash twrp using ADB
3. Flash SuperSu.zip
That's it? I have seen on another thread that I need some Data.zip and other things before flashing it but since the thread you pointed doesn't mention it I belive is not necessary am I correct?
Sorry for the questions mate, I am super new to this phone, I don't want to mess up.

That thread is a little outdated.
Unlock dev options in settings.
Open dev options and enable OEM unlock. (FRP Unlock in fastboot)
Unlock bootloader
Flash either Magisk v15.2 (get from official Magisk thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589) or SuperSU 2.82 SR5 (https://mega.nz/#!ZTBQXZra!JHUocH9oMEApULxfLYm9VO5UPhjHNMGLymkXDY_ihhI)
If you want to decrypt (Format data in twrp) you have to flash official SuperSU 2.82 SR5 or Magisk v14. Its not available in later Magisk builds as it breaks support for other devices.
You can edit boot image manually and remove fileencryptioninline.
And TWRP: https://mega.nz/#!9aoASShT!KJkpC_Ll8HZowWF1_fU0olWiHHaeSZuYE3xc3au8EIg (it's a special version I made that enables flashing from /cache and Copy Log button copies to external SD instead of internal. Just make sure you flash this or the twrp from the twrp thread in development)

Hw data zip and public data is only needed when you decrypt. That's because Huawei thought it was a good idea to place theme, wallpaper and update support in /data.
When you decrypt you must format the /data partition, which erases all user data including the hw_init folder. And when that folder is removed you can't set themes or wallpapers and the System Update app disappears. To get them back you need to flash those 2 zips.
The benefit of decrypting is that you can back up the data partition in TWRP. If you use Titanium backup or some other app its not necessary to decrypt.
What do you root for, I've always rooted my phones.
I don't need to with the mate 9,

Wow thanks man!
Let me check if I got this right.
I am going to flash Magisk 15.2 ( Downloaded it right now ).
1. I unlock my bootloader from Huawei official page.
2. I Flash twrp-3.0.2-2-hi3660.img using ADB commands.
3. Now that I have TRWP I go and flash Magisk 15.2
Is that right? And that's it? Do I need to decrypt data or is that only needed when I want a factory reset?
Another question is, after I flash Magisk 15.2 ant it's uo and running can I revert back to stock recovery and still have root available?

1. Go to settings - about and tap Build number a few times to unlock Developer options. Go back one step and tap Developer options. Enable OEM Unlock.
2. Request bootloader unlock code (login with your Huawei id)
If you don't have a Huawei id, add it as an account in your phone.
You might have to wait for 14 days after it's added to your phone before you can get code. I could probably unlock it for you if you want to send me your imei, imei2 (if available) and meid (imei, imei2 and meid is available in Settings - About), product id and serial number which can be acquired by typing/pasting *#*#1357946#*#* into dialer. Or there are paid services that does it too.

4. Flash magisk.
Decrypt is just if you want to backup /data in twrp, no other reason.
And yes, you can flash back stock recovery.
Download your stock firmware from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ (search for MHA-L29C567B190)
If you just need to extract recovery or boot select a OTA-MF as they're smaller in size (500mb compared to 2gb+ for full firmware).
Download Huawei Update Extractor and extract.
Extract update.app from the firmware zip.
Open Huawei Update Extractor. Click on the '...' button and open the firmware update.app.
Right click on Recovery and click on extract selected.
Now put phone in fastboot and flash recovery.img (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).
Now you have stock recovery.

7. Don't flash any superuser zips in recovery that are not made by me or use any other SuperSu apk
Rebooting Too Safestrap Recovery
1. Reboot phone as you would too boot stock recovery Pwr + VolUp + Home. It takes up too 40 seconds too boot recovery. Ignore the mount system errors on info screen

The tweak sets entropy to high by default I also include the SEFix app if you want to change the settings. I also set the swappiness settings to very high. If you want to change these settings you can download the speedup swap app from playstore. The above zip also removes knox and changes the fstab.qcom file to disable dm-verity on system files and remove all file encryption which makes it seem to work better and make it compatible with my no root roms that has to have this done to allow safestrap to work. Installing the above zip requires a data wipe unless you have already installed it or you are coming from my non rooted roms
S7_Oreo_Su_Binary_Only_ADB_Root.zip Alternative Root Zip
This root zip is only for oreo an only installs the su binary to the system/xbin folder giving you root privelages it has no tweaks and does not change the fstab.qcomn file to remove dm-verity and system file encryption. There is no SuperSU app installed either but you will have root privelages.

I've selected "1 - Yes SafeStrap is Install" in :MENU5 phone reboted to SafeStrap how to exit? It is always rebooting to safestrap back.
Note: After I selected that menu console fast closed and I noticed some error.

On the contrary, I cannot exit from safestrap, it enters always after reboot. Sometimes screen contain small image of original loockscreen, it looks like split view.
Nice!! Is this the binary you wrote and how did you get the script to fire off??

@jrkruse, there are two different Eng.boot for G935, which one should I choose? The 21.92MB or the 22.07MB?

System update 01/21

I've seen several posts that upgrading to Android 11 is causing serious issues with twrp and root. I have an update dated 01/21 that is ready to install and I'd like to know if I can install it and still keep twrp and root. I'm on stock model gm1925 build 10.0.9.gm27ba and as stated, keeping root is important for me.
Bump

You are on stable channel surely the notified upgrade is to version 10.0.11, so you can update and keep root and twrp working.
To do this follow the steps described by @strongst in the op7 forum and you will have no problems.
Here the steps to follow:
Optional but highly recommended, backup everything in case of issues.
Download the full rom zip file and the twrp zip installer file and place it into the phone storage memory.
Go to Magisk Manager and uninstall all modules.
Reboot phone.
Go to Android settings -> system -> system update and hit gear icon top right -> local upgrade, select the .zip file of the new firmware and wait for the installation to finish. Attention don't reboot yet!
Install TWRP within Magisk Manager App like a Module: Magisk Manager App -> Menu -> Modules "+" select .zip file of the twrp recovery installer. Attention don't reboot yet!
Install Magisk via Magisk Manager App again: Magisk Manager App -> hit install after your Magisk version -> hit again install -> hit "install to inactive slot".
Finally reboot.
Reinstall your Magisk Modules.
Done! Your device is now updated and you keep TWRP and root.
Very important: At the moment this procedure is to be considered reliable only if used with firmware based on Android 10.
