Anyone running Xposed Nougat on rooted stock?

So now that the unofficial Xposed for Nougat is out, has anyone gotten it to work on a rooted stock mate 9?
It looked like it might be just for magisk, but root is via SuperSU for us.

First off you need to be on a B182+ firmware and flash Twrp 3.1.0-1.
For decrypted (Wipe - 'Format Data' in twrp then back to twrp start screen and Reboot - Reboot recovery, this erases all user data/apps and you need to flash public and hw zip after you've formatted) use the official Magisk 13.3 zip: http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
For encrypted (no need to format data or do anything special, downside is you won't be able to backup /data partition) use: https://mega.nz/#!I4FQzbyA!gBZelHmD3lGGwzGISUXkf7GQTUAq5i785d_qPHQOaVE
If you have any root flashed currently, flash back stock boot.img before flashing Magisk.

+1...I have been using Xposed for a long time on all my devices and would love to have it on my Mate 9. I am also rooted via SuperSU.

Transition from SuperSU to Magisk

So I'm currently using Honor 8 FRD-L09432 on B394 build. I have unlocked bootloader and am rooted with SuperSU. I wish to remove SuperSU root and switch to Magisk. From Magisk thread instructions I'm supposed have unrooted device and intact boot image.
When I try to unroot with SuperSU I'm greeted with "Uninstallation failed!" window. As an alternative to unroot I decided to just use Huawei Firmware Finder and download latest(B394) update.zip and extract stock boot.img from that. After successfully managing the extraction I tried to flash the newly extracted boot.img via TWRP. My device fails to boot with said boot.img so I had to restore the back up.
So my question is what am I missing here? Or is there some other alternate way to switch to Magisk without rollbacking to stock packages and having all my data wiped. Thanks for your assistance.

Osmosis' unsupersu script should work to remove it, then reboot, then flash magisk.

Hi,
I have the FRD-L04 with the B389 update. I am currently root with SuperSU, and I would like to change to Magisk. I have been reading some guides and posts but I want to be sure before proceeding. I found this guide for the Pixel and I would like to know the opinion from the experts if this would work for my honor 8. Thanks!

You will need stock boot image, that's pretty much all. So you can try to restore the stock boot image via unroot from SuperSU which is a bad idea and I would highly discourage it. So you either extract the stock boot image for B389 from UPDATE.zip or you restore stock boot image from your own backup if you have it.
After obtaining and flashing stock boot image, flash the Magisk zip from main Magisk thread. I can not verify that latest version works (16.0), I havent tried it. I'm personally on 15.3 and if you really want it I can test 16.0 for you.
After flashing Magisk install Magisk manager which you can obtain again from main Magisk thread. Ofc unistall SuperSU app as well.
You can't brick your device in any way as long as you make a full TWRP backup before attempting any of the above. If you run into any of the errors just restore it and ask for further instructions.

Thanks for the set of instructions, I did as instructed and it worked as a charm! Thanks for everything. I'm in B389 with Magisk now!

Hi, are you still receiving OTA with rooted and Xposed installed?
It seems TWRP disables OTA
I don't mind stock recovery, just need Xposed and OTA
Also, Magisk is optional for me. Don't really need it now

You won't be able to apply OTA with root. If you perform system modification (like in this guide), you'll have to flash whole system.img before applying new OTA. With Magisk and systemless Xposed it's enough to restore stock boot from within the app to apply OTA.

You are on Oreo, yes?
If so, flash this TWRP (3.2.1): https://mega.nz/#!4DYngAxL!OJEgQ4a4cSTypHgRBbMQbok2BRDuVHSDXNktAJ_PnKQ
Or this (3.0.3): https://mega.nz/#!AWpymRbC!ncVMIZL177b2OssrjSuKVq2AyyxzUqj_BKfsMEAajhw
Doesn't matter which you choose, both work fine.
And Magisk v16: http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
(The reason for flashing TWRP is because of the fixlinks.sh script. Magisk installer can't find ramdisk otherwise without modifying the Magisk zip).

Try this one: https://mega.nz/#!AP5DRA4Q!i02i8cCi_UWoF2XZl5gjLb5ESpeilpR_OD0MHSh6Ezg
I have one on my Mate 9 with decryption support as well, but it's at home :/
It's basically this one but updated which partitions you can flash: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/oreo-t3754483
That one works for Mate 9 so if you need decryption you could use it.

If you've been still having issues flashing magisk through TWRP then i recommend doing it the alternative way. It's the way I first did it and have always done it since.
I actually just wrote up and posted a guide...https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-install-magisk-mate-9-running-t3773878

[stupid question] OTA update when on magisk and xposed?

Hello XDA!
It's been a while since I did 'modding' on phones, I think I started with the OP1 back in 2014 but have not really been keeping up ever since. I am now on 5.1.5 and running official OOS with magisk and xposed for gravitybox.. Can I just disable magisk and xposed, do the OTA update and then re-enable or do I have to uninstall them fully? Or can I just do the OTA right now?
Sorry for what might be a really obvious answer.
Thank you!

You can do the OTA but if you want magisk (and then xposed systemless) i suggest you to install TWRP after update and you need in all cases to re-do root process

Ahh I see. Because xposed is now systemless it doesn't matter if I leave it enabled right? Is the new official TWRP without any dangerous bugs?
Thanks for your swift reply!!

maybe to help you all
me: 5.1.5, unlocked bootloader, unofficial TWRP from thread by wuxianlin, magisk 16.4
my procedure was to change to official twrp which can be done easily by
downloading the twrp installer from official site, put to internal storage
flash twrp official installer
still in recovery, select reboot: recovery
flash magisk
boot system
now download full 5.1.6 signed flashable zip
recovery: flash 5.1.6
reflash recovery
reboot recovery
flash magisk
boot system
now you have rooted 5.1.6 with official twrp and magisk, no wipe needed

oneplus6 ha a/b partition. so if you installed magisk 16.4 already. just OTA. when it's done don't reboot yet. enter magisk manager, choose install on the second partition. reboot.

TWRP official has no bug, the only thing i don't know is if backup/restore is working fine, if you install ota via TWRP and then flash (without reboot) twrp.zip and magisk, after reboot you'll find out that system is exactly the same it was before updating

The only thing u need to disable before updates are overlays through substratum, I also remove any security like finger prints, face unlock and pin or patterns too just in case. Once u flash update u will have to reflash magisk and xposed too
