I've been on Nougat for a while now on my FRD-L19 with B380/381/389
Today I've upgraded to B398 with a clean installation and my question is:
Which Zip shall I flash for a good working root? I've used SuperSU 2.79 but that's outdated since ages.
I'd really like installing Magisk (14?) but i've heard of bootloops occuring with that.
What can i flash, that won't destroy my system?
Sincerely an Austrian Honor User
Go with SuperSU 2.79. dont worry we just need root and nothing much. Once rooted you can update anytime. I am on 2.79 on all the roms I tried but never faced any issue

So I've seen a few threads asking a similar thing but since they're quite old, I'd like to ask again.
Quick info about my setup:
running stock ROM, MOB30H
system-less root
system-less Xposed
kernel: ElementalX
TWRP recovery
I was hoping I'll be able to install OTAs with less hassle thanks to up-to-date SuperSU and a special version of Xposed. I indeed have received an OTA today - a small update, I believe 9 MB. When I tried to install it though, TWRP booted up and nothing happened.
Does someone run a similar setup? Have you been able to install an OTA after flashing stock recovery (which I guess is what needs to be done to install OTAs)? Would I have to reflash SuperSU and/or Xposed?
Hi,
I unlocked My bootloader successfully and installed twrp. Everythings fine so far.
Now I saw a thread mentioning a rollback to stock 6.0.0 is neccessary before installing cm13 because of the baseband. Do I still have to do that?
I also read about supersu. Do I have to install it before cm? In a rooted device? I thought supersu is for rooting the device?
And finally I thought cm13 is stable for My A9 but there are only nightly builds. Recommended for daily use?
Sry for all those noob questions, but I already read around for hours, without coming to a solution. Although flashing cm to My S5 Mini was alot easier.
I appreciate any help with that stuff.
?
Btw. I saw the supersu Thread and I found instructions on how to root the device.
The Instruction says I have to install supersu to root the device. In the supersu thread they say my device has to be rooted to install supersu.
Confusion is complete
On all devices I've had, never had to root (SuperSU) to install CyanogenMod. Just unlock bootloader and install twrp.
The SuperSU thread is wrong, I read the same thing when I had a nexus 5. I think it means just bootloader needs to be unlocked.
Only time I used SuperSU was if I was on stock rom. CM13 has root built in. Enable it in developer options.
As far as having to downgrade to 6.0, no idea if it's still needed. It's one of the reasons I'm still on stock. I don't like methods needed to downgrade.
thx
Thanks for your reply.
I installed CM13 nightly successfully on my A9.
No Rollback neccessary.

Really? Your phone had latest stock update and you installed cm13, and have no issues with it? No boot loops?
I've been using cm for some days. Some apps a crashing once a while, voice recording in whatsapp doesnt work without crashing the APP. AS far as I use My phone it is fine.
I booted the phone two times since I installed cm and no bootloops.
Bought it in germany.
Edit: Don't know it was the latest stock. I left the Version that was already installed on the phone. AS far as I remember it was 6.0.1
(Not sure if it is better to make a new thread or ask in the SuperSU thread...)
Hey all. I had previously been running the 7.1 OTA build with SuperSU installed. It seemed fine and I had done OTA updates with it installed with little issue. This was pre-2.78 SR3 builds of SuperSU, so I was using the boot-to-root. One day, I inexplicably noticed that root was gone. App too. I was very confused because to the best of my knowledge no OTA updates or security updates happened since I last rooted.
With that, I decided to sideload update to NMF26Q, which apparently was released about 12 hours earlier, and install TWRP since it was needed for newer SuperSU. TWRP installed fine and worked, but SuperSU did not seem to work. In fact, every time I attempted to flash SuperSU 2.78 SR5, I noticed it would remove the SuperSU app if it was installed via the Play Store. Finally, I noticed that it was installing in System mode.
I attempted to override this by running `echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" >> /data/.supersu`, but nothing I did worked. It did the same exact thing. Looking through the shell script, I'm entirely unsure how it is possible that my override did not work. I also reflashed the stock boot image to both slots and then reinstalled TWRP. This had no effect on installing SuperSU.
I try to do due diligence before turning to the internet for help, but I don't have any clue what's going on here. Maybe it is best if i reflash the entire stock ROM, but I'd love to avoid that if possible, as everything else seems to work great, and I have no idea why this in particular would be an issue.
Use alpha 2 of twrp and ask will be well
Yep, that worked great. Cheers.

Have problem rooting updated nougat for FRD-L09* 360
Have installed twrp 3.0.3 and patch the chainfire's latest root - su files or phh, but still no way to get it rooted.
Feedback if any1 else have the same symptoms and solution.
Thanks.

Hi @StratOS_HTC
Nice to see you again (coming from the Core 2)
I have the B380 and rooted it with this prerooted image:
forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563/post71274057
Try it with that prerooted boot-image. If it doesn't work try this older prerooted boot-image:

pHH's changed boot img and app works flawless ROOT
While CF's changed boot.img cause bootloops / system loops.
While changing the fastboot.img got bricked my phone - Were unable to turn it on, no USB connections possible, donno how the TWRP recovery accidently turned on ... No clue about it.
Got it back.
Need some feedback about CF's root. any1 has sent him a boot img's ?
Looking forward for cf's SU for HONOR ...
Is prerooted really the only way to go? I installed B380 today and thought there was a way to root with SuperSU. Must have misunderstood since the Emui5 version of SuperSU doesnt work for me. It installs just fine but then the app says "no binaries installled"..
It's not the pre-rooted, it's only modified boot image with changed security and other init stuff that the root app can use it.
PHH's is working great, CF's will go on ...
Ok. Which of the two links above did you use?
Edit:
If someone else out there had the same question, I followed the first link and downloaded the rooted boot img provided by @Atarii.
I was on B380, unlocked with TWRP 3.0.3 and flashed the rooted_b378_boot.img via adb. Worked like a charm. Then rooted with phhs superuser from Play store.
Stratos how do i check if my phone is model l09 or something else? My Honor 8 is dual sim that means its the version L19?
Do you know any way to install a working twrp + root l19 on nougat?
Hello, i have twrp installed, i dont know which supersu will work, i have tryed some and almost brick my phone.... but i saved it now... now searching for supersu that works on Frd-l09(b360), emui 5.0 and android 7.0
