Hello,
I have a Honor 8 FRD-L09 8.0.0.521 (C432), I rooted it on previous version, but I don't remenber exactly why but I was blockedat TWRP step, so I could'nt root.
Now it's a stock unroot.
I would like to updated to latest firmware possible, root with magisk and reinstall everything back the easiest possible.
What is the latest version I could install?
I am a bit rusty, Is there a good tutorial around?
Thanks
just boot up twrp and flash the latest magisk zip, if you dont have the magisk manager installed after that just download it from the same thread and install it.
if you cant flash twrp to your device, make sure your bootloader is unlocked and try again
Ok thanks, usual procedure, I will try it, and come back here's, thanks

Just got this phone new from cricket. I'm having issues making calls. I downloaded the update. But am wondering should I use it. I'm wanting to do custom roms exc. I have not unlocked boot loader or anything yet. If I do the update will I still be able to unlock the boot loader and root custom roms exc? 6045o is the type
First of all I suggest unlocking the bootloader, because if you update to MM you will lose fastboot commands (you can have them back but it's tedious). Then maybe install the latest TWRP, update to MM and then systemless root or custom ROM If you want to update to latest official firmware but don't want to lose TWRP/root just download the update without installing it and then flash it with chainfire's FlashFire.
thanks

First of all make sure you never mount /system as rw when using TWRP.
Then just do a systemless root (download SuperSU from chainfire website on your phone, launch TWRP's terminal and type "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu", then flash SuperSU as usual), systemless root won't be detected by apps/os. Will probably be detected by SafetyNet but i'm not sure PoGo uses it. In case you have problems with root detection you can try suhide by Chainfire.
Also note that systemless Xposed (rootcloak, etc) and V4A are possible via Magisk (just search it on XDA).
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!

Hide function works well with apps that don't work with root, like Google Pay or home banking?

Sorry but I don't use those apps... maybe somebody else can give you feedback.
I have a Honor 8 with Emui 5.0.1, Android 7 model FRDL09 , build FRD- L09C432B394.
I have unlocked the bootloader and installed 3.0.3-0 Twrp but when i try to install SuperSU from the recovery i can't (the phone start the operation but after 2 or 3 seconds on the screen there are some very fast message and the phone just reboot. I was able to read the message that is:
- System-less Mode, Boot Image Support required
- creating image
I tried with 2 different version of SuperSU (sr3-SuperSU-2.79-Sr3- 2017 0114223742.zip and SuperSU-v2.82-Sr5-Permissive.zip but i have the same problem
Anyone can help to figure out what i'm doing wrong?

Install twrp 3.1.1 from open kirin thread.
I use magisk for root, and any problem with this recovery.
I use EMUI 5 b402.

Yea i just did that reading better the forum and i figured out that i was using the wrong twrp version
I still used the official SuperSu 2.82, do you think it is better go for magisk?
Thank you for your reply
For me is better magisk.
When I want update my device, I uninstall magisk with the uninstalled twrp zip, and then, I update with the full update package and 0 problems.

update it from system update and it will lock your bootloader and frp.

I suggest you should uninstall Magisk. Then remove all security (finger, pin...). Then factory reset. After that do the update using hurupdater.
I got many strange issues with Magisk….
Thanks but I already did that without reset or anything. Just uninstall Magisk and flash. But now I want to go back to stock and uninstall TWRP recovery. I read that it can only be done via flashing another recovery. So where can I find stock recovery for BLN-AL20. I tried Googling. No luck. Also after the flash I noticed my sim didn't have any signal. It happened once when I rebranded and was fixed by Changing a line in build.prop. now after the update it was fixed the same way. So do I have to do that every time I update i.e. root and edit it? Is there a work around? Thanks for your help
Hi guys,
I tried to update my Bln-l21 from emui 5 (nougat) to emui 8 (oreo) using the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-update-to-emui-8-t3807806
It worked so I went on to install TWRP from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-emui-8-0-0-honor-6x-dual-sim-t3794079, as suggested in a comment on the guide.
Only then I realized that in order to install Gapps I needed GSM installer, so I downloaded it, but it didn't work because it loaded TWRP instead of the stock erecovery.
I started to panic real bad
I tried reinstalling the firmware using hwota8 (since i had upgraded i figured i had to use that), but it completely destroyed my phone.
Now it wont boot, recovery wont boot and neither erecovery. I can only get it to enter fastboot.
I know, I am a total noob, but PLEASE help me out on this, i'm desperate.
Thank you so much
If you can enter into fastboot, just install twrp, boot into twrp and flash the ROM using HuRUpdater. Use your external storage for the HuRUpdater and the ROM files. The instructions are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
Before flashing through Hurupdater wipe system Cache Data Internal and Dalvik/ART Cache.

Thank you for the answer, I was able to boot in TWRP (the one in the original post) and I downloaded Huru, but I'm unsure of which firmware to use. I want to downgrade back to nougat and rebrand back to europe (since the guide in the original post made me change to china).
Thank you again
Just use China and then install a custom ROM

Just use the original files you used in the first place. The ones you downloaded from the thread. In terms of a custom ROM there is a thread in Custom ROMS section for Pixys OS. Just search stable Pie ROM for Honor 6x and install it. It's very smooth, etc.
This is a EMUI 8 ROM. If you want to go back to EMUI 5 don't use this. This will only restore EMUI 8. After that flash Custom ROM Don't go back to EMUI 5

Hi, I successfully flashed with Hurupdater and I'm going trough the installation of the pixys rom. The guide says that i need to flash the stock recovery for my device, where can I find it?
Can I pull it from the firmware I used for Huru? If that's the case, how?
Thank you again
I do have instructions over there but cause you asked I will tell.
Extract the Update.zip the large file. In it you will have an Update.app. Now serach for Huawei Update Extractor on XDA and Download it. Run the application and navigate to Update.app. Select it and in settings of Extractor uncheck the first option. Now extract Recovery_Ramdis.img and flash it. Luck.

Thank you so much! Now the phone is working again, I'm only having trouble flashing magisk (it doesn't show up among the apps) but i guess i can live without it for now...
Have you got a paypal or something? I wanna buy you a coffe, it seems the least I can do to repay your kindness and patience!

Really there is no need for that. I did what anyone would do. Your thanks is enough.
Can you tell me what version you flashed. What TWRP did you use and what was the message after flashing.Now regarding Magisk, I am gonna assume you flashed the ZIP and the Magisk Manager app didn't show up, correct? To solve that just download Magisk Manager v6.0.1 and install the apk.
If that's not the issue then download any Root Checker app to see if device is rooted. Although I guess you need Magisk Manager to validate Root access. So just install Magisk Manager and let me know what it says. If it says device is unrooted then you probably need to flash Magisk again.
P.S: I don't have a PayPal. Not yet available in my country.

I really appreciate your kindness,
I flashed the latest version of magisk available from the official thread using the same TWRP from before (king of mezi TWRP from elemental rom thread) and it looked fine... Yes, the app didn't show up, I will try with the manager and I'll let you know.
[edit] I installed the manager and turns out it actually worked the first time and I'm already rooted!
Thank you again, you've been wonderful!
Glad to help.
