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

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.
Hi. How can I restore my normal recovery? Is it possible? I don't mind if lose root

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?

If you are having a weird bootloop where the phone just reboots after few seconds of booting like shown here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YcWsWYQVGQ) then you're in the right place, here's how you can fix the issue.
Before proceeding make sure you know your risks as I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war and anything really.
Steps:
1) Download Mi Flash Tool and install it. (For the drivers, skip it if you have installed the drivers already)
2) Download and Install minimal ADB and Fastboot Tool, persist.img and temporary twrp.img links will be below.
3) Copy the persist.img to your internal storage.
4) Copy the recoveryxx.img to same folder where you've saved the minimal ADB/Fastboot tool.
4) Goto the minimal adb fastboot tool folder where you had put the recoveryxx.img
5) Open cmdhere.exe
6) Put your phone in fastboot mode (Volume - and Power)
7) Type the following commands:
- fastboot devices (you should something like this:
Fastboot dsad5454sfs, If not, re-install the the fastboot drivers correctly. )
- fastboot oem unlock (This is just for unlocking the bootloader you can just skip it if you have unlocked bootloader.)
- fastboot boot recoveryxx.img *(basically the filename of the image file.)
Now you will boot to the temporary twrp and once you're there follow these steps:
8) Open Terminal in TWRP Custom Recovery (go to “Advanced” > “Terminal”).
9) Type the following command:
- dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27
10) Go to reboot and select system and that's it!
Voila!

Try other builds then, that occurs if the size of persist.img is different than what your partition allows. For most the August one should work.

Hi,
Flashing the persist.img seems to have resolved the issue for me also, once I have completed the steps in the guide can I re-lock the bootloader?
I assume as we didn't flash TWRP and only booted into it temporarily should be fine?

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.

If you using Havoc 2.0, linke me, it's everything,you need! This twrp lets you boot up all treble GSI Roms....
And otas should be installed normal.
1. Uninstall magisk
2. Install ota, not reboot
3. install magisk
4. Flash twrp and boot up with patched twrp via fastboot
You never boot up without root... So everything's fine with modules and otas doesn't touch vendor and encryption...

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.

Thank you. And i will thank him too. But after a lot of reading. I think. Mate 9 users can only choose between magisk and TWRP. I hope i am wrong. ?

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.

I flashed to pie with EMUI Flasher but hurupdater should work. You'd have to try it.
Hello fellow A2 Lite owners!
I just got this device today and would LOVE to root 10.0.7.0, However it seems like the only way to go through this is by using a patched boot image which is not viable because none have showed up for 10.0.7.0 yet.
Will there be any other solutions for this? Thank you.

Obviously, It is my preferred way since I used it on a couple of devices including my Redmi Note 4 and Mi Pad.
My concern is not OTA but whether it would somehow break the ROM
Yes, I am aware of Mi Flash, Flashing stock ROMS, and other techniques but it's just that i don't have time for such long endeavors and would like to have a safe-ish way.
However I will try to get twrp running temporarily to install magisk.

No it will not break the ROM I'm running the March update with twrp n magisk the only thing that does not work is backup n restore there is a new twrp 3.3.3.0 but I haven't installed it yet.

How did you get TWRP to work? I am using the official image but whenever i boot into the .img, click cancel as instructed, and install the twrp zip, the result is that when i try to boot into recovery it says System has been destroyed (recovery only, normal boot is ok)

I have followed this guide but it would always result in the installed version of TWRP not installing correctly, and the system mentioning "The System has been destroyed, Press power button to shut down"
How can i resolve this?
I just uploaded the boot and patched_boot imgs for 10.0.7.0 (March update) here are the links:
Stock boot.img : https://drive.google.com/open?id=17ukUahutrGCcx38ZXfzMaCCle71M_QuP
Patched boot.img with latest Magisk (07.04.2019 - I suggest patching the stock on your own to root the device) : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RxFZcwi0utL3qGp9LKDMneBbggNMHmGY

Search before asking : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-install-magisk-proper-support-ota-t3836952
I did search and I followed procedure.
My phone fails to boot on step 10. when I load temporary patched boot.img over fastboot.
Thats my current problem.
I tried to load up downloaded pached boot.img for version V10.0.7.0.PDLMIXM
I also tried to make patched boot.img from original boot.img over phone via Magisk. It doesnt work, bootloop again.

I'm stuck with the same problem.
Booting with patched_boot.img (made on my own or downloaded from this forum) make the phone not starting, blocked on white screen.
Have you already solved?

Only boot twrp not to Flash it...
Boot twrp command » fastboot boot twrp.img
Flash twrp command » fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I assume you tried "flashing twrp" command, if that's the case it will replace your boot.img to twrp.img that's why it appears the "system has been destroyed" error... Try the "boot twrp command" if you want to access twrp temporarily... Coz right now we cant do(flash full twrp recovery) that as far as I know....
