Hi all. I have some problem with update. After update from root b021 to b023 system version not changed. it's b021 and huawei app remind me update via ota to b023 every time.
How i update?

2. Extract system.img & boot.img files (b023) from "app" and flash them via fastboot.
3. Reboot phone.
Why version OS after update system.img & boot.img has not changed?
May be i need flash not only system.img and boot.img?

2.Copy the stock boot.img of your device to your phone's internal storage or SD card
3.Launch Magisk Manager app
4.If prompted to install Magisk, select NO THANKS
5.If you are using a samsung device and wish to flash using Odin, then select Options > Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format > img.tar )
6.Select Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File >
7.Navigate to the location of the stock boot.img you copied earlier on, then Select it

When boot finished, touching on display does not work anymore.

Because you flash boot.img as recovery
That why your phone is getting that fault
You are suppose to flash boot
Fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img OK
Or use sp flashtool or miracle box
I included the scatter file

I have the twrp but it doesn't touch only if you use otg with Mouse

Alternative scatter file for MT6750
Hi lmkratos,
thank you very much!
This worked like a charm but I had to use a different scatter file (attached here) as the P8 Max has a MT6750 (not MT6755) and the PMT didn't match so spflash refused to flash boot ("PMT changed for the ROM").
If you happen to be on Linux: spflash works perfectly but take care to stop ModemManager (WAN modems) before flashing as it interferes, so
"service ModemManager stop".

rec Please send it, thank you

Download Termux and use that guide to extract the boot image from the OOS 11 update file. Patch the boot image with magisk, copy the boot image to your PC. Download magisk 23 apk and install then reboot to fastboot mode. Flash the patched boot image to both slots:
fastboot flash boot_a (place your boot image file here)
fastboot flash boot_b (place your boot image file here)
fastboot reboot Now you're rooted!

First flash the original boot image into your phone and make sure your phone can boot after you flash the original boot image.
fastboot flash Magisk-patched-boot.img
Patched boot image can be made on another phone.

This is what i did
The original boot run finely but the patched one give me a boot loop

Miui 13 doesn't support yet unless you patch the boot img. Just revert to 12.5.9

The safe way is to not flash boot image with TWRP or Orangefox custom recoveries. Flash with fastboot mode with PC is better to prevent issue.
What version of Magisk?
If you are using the latest Magisk v24.X but it bootloop, you may report issue to Magisk author in his github.
If you used Magisk v23, it is said not working on Android 12, so will not work on MIUI 13.

1. Download stock MIUI rom.
2. Extract two files: boot.img and vbmeta.img.
3. Compress the two files to a TAR file, like: boot_and_vbmeta.tar
4. Copy the TAR file to the device.
5. Open magisk app.
6. Choose "Install magisk to file" and select the TAR file. It will create the file magisk_patched.tar
7. Copy the magisk_patched.tar file to the PC.
8. Extract magisk_patched.tar to get boot_patched.img and vbmeta_patched.img
9. Enter in fastboot in device.
10. Flash boot_patched.img and vbmeta_patched.img to the device:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_patched.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_patched.img
