emui 9 - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Anyone know how to root mate 9 on emui 9? Just updated and twrp doesn't work

quate from @irony_delerium
1) Make sure you've got the stock firmware zip files. (I'm assuming you do.)
2) Extract UPDATE.APP from the main update.zip file (the big one).
3) Using Huawei Firmware Extractor on your desktop (search on XDA for it), load UPDATE.APP and extract the recovery ramdisk image. It's going to be "RECOVERY_RAMDIS" in that app as I recall.
4) Put the image into your phone's internal storage (MTP works, though I've never used it, I usually use adb: adb push RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img /sdcard)
5) Install Magisk Manager on your phone. You want the current release (18.1) at the very minimum. Canary builds also work
6) Select the Install button in the Magisk interface. Select "Patch boot image". In the file browser that comes up, select the image you just transferred in #4.
7) When Magisk finishes, pull the image back to your PC (adb: adb pull /sdcard/Download/patched_boot.img)
8) Reboot to the bootloader and flash (fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_boot.img)
9) Reboot to recovery (fastboot reboot, pull the USB cable and hold volume up).

For fastboot you can connect to pc wit cable and try.
But yuo don't boot recovery, because you patched boot image. If you flash original recovery_ramdisk, you can boot recovery.

If you install root (patched magic boot img) on recovery_ramdisk and twrp on the erecovery partition you can have both. You'll just have to hold in volume up at boot to enable root or volume up + volume down to enter twrp or don't hold in anything to boot up uprooted. Follow the instructions on the Mate 20 X twrp thread and it should work. Personally I can't flash anything to erecovery after manually updating to Pie.

Hello,
Based on instructions below I managed to install Magisk via patched_boot.img onto Mate9 Oreo 8.0.0.363(C432). I downloaded few modules like Xposed etc, after restarting I got a bootloop. When I back install ramdisk.img phoneboots but magisk is not installed. Any help is appreciated.
no need to extract ramdisk no more....the new one will install with twrp from sd card....starting 15v and also has to have bootloader unlock and be on stock oreo....

It cannot be installed any other way. Says no boot image.
Are you on stock android... I did root my mate 9...you need the special twrp for mate 9..its in the forum for magisk... Then just boot into twrp, do normal wipe, then install magisk, start with 15.4 version... Then it should update to 16..
Hi,
I've found an simpler method to root my Oreo Mate 9, which does not involve extracting the ramdisk.img of your rom.
This method comes for @ante0 in this post.
In my case (Mate9 with stock rom L29C432B366), this is what I did:
1) Start from an unrooted stock Oreo rom
2) Unlock bootloader
Note: Unlocking the bootloader will completely erase your phone, so backup before hand!
3) Download and flash (via fastboot) TWRP recovery TWRP-3.2.1-Oreo_FBE_Mate9.img
This recovery can be downloaded from the link in here
Note: to flash the recovery in Fastboot mode you have to type from the command line on the PC :
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP-3.2.1-Oreo_FBE_Mate9.img
4) Reboot in recovery and mount the System and Vendor partitions
Note: if you skip this step, your phone will NOT reboot after step (5) :crying: (I know, I have tested this )
5) In recovery, flash the latest Magisk. I Have used the latest beta, Magisk 16.4 which can be downloaded from here.
6) Reboot system, and you're good to go, rooted and passing safetynet
What I like about this method is (1) no need to extract a ramdisk.img specific to the rom you are rooting , and (2) I'm still decrypted in recovery
Note: Not tested with other rom versions than L29C432B366
how magisk works in mate9 C432 B369 ??
i try 16.0 cust and my mate9 soft brick
I need help guys.
I tried installing xposed from magisk app. After reboot, am stuck on bootloop after several retries. Was forced to flash new firmware using HWOTA8.Now,i have tried getting magisk to work but result to boot loop after boot is patched and flashed via fastbokt.Have also tried flashing through twrp by mounting system, vendor but still stuck on Huawei logo and reboot . Have tried flashing supersu but that does get root to work.
Please help because most of the app I use need root access and don't want to perform fresh installation.
Thanks.

[Guide] Mate 20 X root is here

Thanks to @topjohnwu, magisk canary builds officially support emui 9, albeit with some caveats.
Note:
This root requires replacing stock recovery with patched magisk init, which will then boot system with magisk support. This means that currently, TWRP or stock recovery and magisk can't exist simultaneously. Also, in order to boot with root, you will NEED to hold down VOLUME UP as the phone is rebooting or booting until the "device is booting" text is displayed. This tells the phone to boot into recovery, which is taken over by magisk init and booted into system with root. Failure to do this will result in the phone booting WITHOUT root or magisk.
I've gone ahead and patched the recovery_ramdisk for EVR-AL00 and EVR-L29.
What is needed:
ADB/fastboot
A computer
A bit of know-how
Step 1: You MUST be bootloader unlocked
-Start by downloading the relevant recovery ramdisk for your variant the AND magisk manager below
Step 2:
-Install the magisk manager
Step 3:
-Copy the recovery ramdisk to a folder with fastboot. Those with environment set up for adb/fastboot can ignore this step.
Step 4:
-Reboot your device to the bootloader. This is accomplished easiest with the adb reboot bootloader command. If you would like to gracefully put the device in bootloader mode, simply power off the device, remove all USB cables from it, but make sure one is plugged into your PC. Once the device is fully powered off, hold down the volume-DOWN key and then press and hold the power button and IMMEDIATELY plug the USB-C cable into the phone.
Step 5:
-Once the device is in bootloader and connected to the PC, run the command "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdiskMagiskVARIANT" with VARIANT being whatever ramdisk you downloaded. For example with AL00 you would input "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdiskMagiskAL00.img"
Step 6:
-Run the command "fastboot reboot" and immediately disconnect the USB-C cable from the phone. At this point you will want to hold down VOLUME-UP until the "device is booting" message is displayed.
Step 7:
-Once the system is booted, open magisk manager and profit.

All Mate 20 X users can now rejoice with root! Working perfectly here on AL00 20 X. Thank you @freeza :good:
Thank you freeza!
I saw you didn't have a link to the patched L29 so I patched mine and everything is perfect.
If anybody wants to use it or if you want to link it on the OT, it's fine.

It says that cause it detected root. Even if you choose to let it update, it will fail since the patched ramdisk replaces the recovery.

That means you didn't flash it correctly as your stock recovery was not replaced. You might have missed a step

Root EMUI 9.0

Thx to topjohnwu you can use magisk on EMUI9. https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/tree/master/canary_builds
What you need:
1. Unlocked Bootloader
2. be able to use twrp 3.2.3-1 (important! 3.2.3-1). In this case, im using latest offical twrp for the Huawei P20 Pro (charlotte). Only use ADB function, other features (backup/restore) are untested by me, it can harm your device eventually if you use other functions then ADB.
3. adb installed on PC
4. all-full-release.apk from https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/tree/master/canary_builds
5. magisk-release.zip from https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/tree/master/canary_builds
OK, so how we root the Honor 10 with EMUI9.0?
1. Download offical twrp from here: https://dl.twrp.me/charlotte/twrp-3.2.3-1-charlotte.img.html.
Be careful, this release was made for another device, but i had no issue with it on my Honor 10.
2. Download Magisk Manager (all-full-release.apk) from https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/tree/master/canary_builds and install it.
3. Download magisk root (magisk-release.zip)
4. Enable OEM Unlock (so you can flash recovery in fastboot) , Power Off the device, push and hold VOL DOWN and plug in the usb cable. The device will start into fastboot.
5. Flash Twrp withon the PC: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp-3.2.3-1-charlotte.img
6. This one is a bit tricky! Type fastboot reboot, push and hold VOL UP and after sending fastboot reboot immediately remove cable and wait for twrp to boot. If you not remove the cable you will end up in eRecovery and have to redo the steps above.
7. In twrp, go to advanced and start ADB. Than plug in the USB cable.
8. PC: flash magisk-release.zip with: adb sideload magisk-release.zip
9. IMPORTANT: Remove cable, select reboot, but keep VOL UP pressed during reboot, otherwise you are not able to use magisk. You have to press VOL UP everytime you reboot the device otherwise you have to do Step 5-9 again.
10. Done, your device is rooted.
UPDATE to .162:
To Update succsessfully to .162 you have to do the following things:
1. flash emui stock recovery_ramdisk.img in fastboot (extract it from update.app using Huawei Update Extractor) use "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDIS.IMG" You dont have to use recovery_ramdisk.img from .162. Just use the latest update.app to extract the recovery_ramdisk.img you can find in Firmware Finder.
2. Disable OEM Unlock and reboot the device
3. Go to Settings\System\Software Updates and Hit the 3 Dots on the top right. Select the Full Package Download.
4. Wait until download is complete and hit update. Now the device will boot into EMUI recovery and install the update the phone.
5. The device is now rootless, if you want root again, follow the instructions above.
Caution: Just in case: After the update and installation of magisk, adaway becomes unstable on my phone. It seems the "allow root" popup dont show up after adaway started. I have fixed this by autoallow root in magisk, start adaway, enable adblocking and set magisk to "ask permissions" again. After this, the popup shows correctly again. For now i have no clue why this was happen, another Honor 10 dont have this issue at all.

Just disable battery optimization for magisk manager and the "allow root" popup will appear

Notice for UPDATE .179:
You can use the guide above but you have to update (Systemupdate) twice, since the update comes with 2 separate packages. After the first run, emui recovery shows "update failed". Just reboot to system, go to settings, and start the updateprocess again. The second package is about ~220MB in size. After this follow the guide above to get magisk running again.
Notice for UPDATE .203:
Just do the usual way. Flash STOCK recovery_ramdis.img with fastboot, reboot the phone, do the update. After this flash twrp in fastboot again and adb sideload magisk-release.zip.
Notice for UPDATE .207:
Works! Flash STOCK recovery_ramdis.img with fastboot, reboot the phone, do the update. After this flash twrp in fastboot again and adb sideload magisk-release.zip.
Notice for UPDATE .216:
Works!
Notice for UPDATE .223:
Works, but you have to use latest Magisk release (19.3) from topjohnwu: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
At step 8. PC: flash magisk-v19.3.zip with: adb sideload Magisk-v19.3.zip
Notice for UPDATE EMUI 9.1:
9.1 Change a lot, you will have the latest stock RECOVERY_RAMDISK.IMG patched via Magiskmanager and install that with fastboot. After this, reboot and PRess VOL+. You will end up in eRecovery, hit Wipe/Factory Reset(Make BACKUP!) and reboot. This install magisk permanently. For Adaway: You need Systemless Mode activated in Magisk and Adaway.
Maybe i will write another Guide for 9.1, but for now im testing stability.
Thanks a lot man!
Well P20 hardware share similarity with honor 10. Twrp should work logically but you never know when you came up against something bad so I will for now hehe

Hi, either it's not working for me or i'm stuck somewhere.
Steps 1-5 are working.
Then it reboot the device with fastboot reboot and press&hold the vol up.
But my phone doesn't boot into twrp. All i get is erecovery.
When i turn the phone off, no usb cable plugged in and try to get into twrp by press&hold power + vol up i get:
error mode

please update system again

I just updated from 8.1 to 9 today fyi.
edit: after flashing my latest twrp image that worked i can access twrp recovery again.
but everything at /sdcard looks encrypted since all folders and files have crazy names like asdfASdfasdFGADSgm
I currently don't have any password etc. on my honor.

Android 9 comes with build in crypto, so its perfektly normal to see folders like "akgaufagkiugsduiphps". Thats the reason we have to use ADB with latest TWRP, only 3.2.3-1 has support for it. So i beleive, if you cant get 3.2.3-1 running, you cannot have magisk atm.

Thx a lot! Works fine
One question about 9. - I had to remove the cable first, otherwise by pushing VOL UP+reboot it goes directly to eRecovery-mode?!
Uhm ... just one question for my understanding.
How am i supposed to flash a new recovery in step 5 when i disable oem unlock in step 4?
As far as i know deactivating oem unlock prevents from flashing even if the bootloader is already unlocked.

You're right, i just went through without reading that point correctly. It's a little bit misleading
Sorry guys, i have edit the Post so now its more clear what to do. Thanks for the hints, it a pleasure to contribute to such a nice community! Keep rockin!
Haj
point 2
Installation Magisk all-full-release.apk. The application is installed, additional files are downloaded, but end with the message "Magisk not installed". Is this how it should be?
By keeping oem unlocked i was able to flash twrp, too.
And i was able to boot into twrp.
But for /sdcard it kept showing me the encrypted files and folders
What's the reason behind:
9. IMPORTANT: Remove cable, select reboot, but keep VOL UP pressed during reboot, otherwise you are not able to use magisk. You have to use this everytime you reboot the device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is magisk checking if vol up is pressend and then activates, otherwise it stays inactive?
edit:
i was not able to boot like mentioned in step 9.
1st try: i got stuck at "your device is booting now..." (still pressing vol up).
Then released vol up and waited for another 3-4 minutes but nothing happend.
2nd try: When not pressing any button my phone booted as expected but without magisk.
3rd try: Then i shut it down again.
Turned it on, pressend and hold vol up but i just got into eRecovery.
Any ideas?
Does this method keep magisk permanently after the first boot or do I need to repeat the procedure every time if my bootloader is locked?

You don't have to do the whole procedure except step 9, you have to push VOL UP during every reboot to keep magisk active.

ROOT/MAGISK Emui 9

Installing Magisk on Android 9/Emui 9 is straight forward and simple.
This is tested and working on my CMR-W09 9.0.1.160.
Follow @topjohnwu clear guide for EMUI 9 and you can't go wrong - https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
You can use @Apo11on root guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/how-to/root-root-guide-huawei-mediapad-m5-t3786157 to find your tablets firmware, how to extract the img and patching the file via Magisk. Remember for EMUI 9 you need the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img NOT the RAMDISK.img
If your having trouble finding your devices firmware, download Firmware Finder for Huawei from the Google Play Store and find the firmware relevant to your device. Once downloaded (it'll be 3GB plus), transfer over the file to your pc and then use Huawei update extractor to get RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
Once the file has been installed via ADB, boot into recovery (not erecovery). The tablet appears to boot into recovery but instead boots straight to the home screen. It still boots if you forget to boot via recovery mode but without root/Magisk.
As stated by topjohn, you lose recovery but the process can be reversed by reflashing the stock RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
Rather than ask others to share patched img's, it's worth doing it yourself as you can learn how to get yourself out of any potential issues.
It is important you read and understand topjohns guide regarding what file to download and what partition to flash it as it is different than installing Magisk on EMUI 8.
Good luck
We always have to boot into recovery to have root???

Do you have to always boot to recovery as stated in the instructions?
I had several instances where I was unable to boot into recovery, always ending up in erecovery, and of course, didn't have root when I rebooted into the system. The only way I found of booting into recovery and not erecovery was precisely with adb (adb reboot recovery). After that, root is working, and rebooting apparently always passes by the recovery, so I always have magisk installed.

Strange that you have issues booting into recovery without using adb. Once you have root I found it easier to install one of those quick reboot apps that give you the option to boot into recovery if you need to restart it.
I´m trying this command, following the instructions of topjohnwu page:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk /path/to/patched_boot.img
But I get this error:
error: cannot load '/path/to/patched_boot.img': No such file or directory
Any help? Thx

Put the patched file in the same directory as ADB and do not enter "/path/to/"
Or....read the directions as fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk (put your path here) patched_boot.img
Ok, now here is what I did:
- Extracted the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img of the Update and transfered it to the tablet
- In the M5 , I opened magisk- Install - Install - Patch Boot Image File. Select the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img. A file patched-boot.img is created. I move it to the adb folder of my computer
I use this command in my computer :
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_boot.img
Everything seems to go ok, but in the tablet there is no magisk installed and there is no root
Suggestions?
Thx

After having root, yes. After flashing magisk into the recovery_ramdisk, no, booting with vol-up pressed would always go to erecovery.

"adb reboot recovery". I could not boot manually into the recovery and activate magisk until doing that with adb.

I know, but it's not totally clear for me, sorry
So, what I should do to undo the process is:
1 download the emui 9 firmware
2 extract RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img from update.app
3 flash it using the command
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk /path/to/RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
Is this correct?

No, you can't. You need to unlock your mobile.
No, you can't. First of all, you need to unlock bootloader your device.

Does it have gg services installed?
This rom has gapps. You can use gapps without any problem.

I was wrong

hi, i need your help.
I followed the instructions to the letter and everything was fine until step 6 out of habit when I installed magisk I set it to restart without installing vbmeta.img and now it is in bootloop.
trying to get into recovery or fastboot, on one occasion I entered fastboot but did not know what to do and ended up restarting it to see if it entered recovery but it no longer enters recovery or fastboot.
is in bootloop.
I would be very grateful if you could help me.
I installed TWRP and root successful but storage was encrypted so I cannot flash gapps in TWRP. I tried to flash "DM-Verity, ForceEncrypt, Disk Quota Disabler" but TWRP show "unable to mount /nvdata file not found"
