SAFE rooting to HUAWEI MATE 9

hi guys ,
I`ve read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986
my ask : Does this rooting goes well with MHA-L29C185B172 ?
if not , then how can i root my device SAFELY ?
thanks all

one, post, no experience with rooting android phones, do NOT root this phone unless there is some important reason to.
do ALOT more reading before you even think about rooting

Thx to reply. Like the others i wanna root to have root apps in my phone ,

Thx . Wanna have apps requires root in my phone . That simple

You don't even need to decrypt if you don't want to.
Unlock Developer Options (Settings - About: tap build number until it says it's enabled)
Go to the Developer Options and enable OEM Unlocking
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp 3.1.0
Flash SuperSU no-decrypt (https://mega.nz/#!lkV0jbYJ!b1h-5uVksvpt7rw0tRHV7Qxjwk2xkKox0w-iRsCLlbU)
Have fun.
For decryption follow the decrypt guide.
To undo root and relock (Bootloader Locked) flash a stock firmware using the Force flash guide under Guides or use firmware finder).
For Magiskv12 root you need firmware B182+

Original SuperSU 2.79 won't install. We have no loop support in kernel pre-B182. And even with support it doesn't install. The one I linked is a phh supersu hybrid. It uses phh su's method of installing, but installs SuperSU.

Hi. I just happen to come across your post and noticed you said that there is no loop support pre-B182. I have the Chinese version with B213. Some apps, like Linux on Android need, unless something has changed, loop support as well as root. Do you have a reference or a link about the loop support on this phone? Thanks!

I failed install su however still waiting for any updates

Just would like to say that it's not fair to say him that in case that the second entry said: One post on xda and he wants to root!
I think the problem is the order you gave him @ante0 (MAYBE!)
Unlock bootloader
flash TWRP
And I think he now has a BIG problem bc you DIDN'T said or forced him to go into developer settings and turn on OEM-unlock!
@nawraz did you turned on OEM-unlock in developer settings?
if you boot into fastboot mode are BOTH (bootloader and FRP = unlocked (in red letters), or and I really hoper NOT is FRP lock (in green letters)???
Maybe that is now the problem for him, not being able to flash SuperSU?
If you have luck @nawraz then try to flash TWRP 3.0.2-2 and with that SuperSU2.79
If you have root then you can install latest TWRP (3.1.0-1)
If you can't flash anything... oh oh!

He already unlocked and flashed twrp.
3.1.0 installs SuperSU fine. 3.0.3 does not.
And if oem was locked he wouldn't even be in twrp as you can't flash anything with fastboot if it is locked.
But I'll update my post in case anyone does miss to unlock oem.

Hope you don't get me wrong!
Just said that bc I had that problem 5 days ago and the only thing that helped was funky!
I had a softbrick and a reboot always kicked me into eRecovery
I just had eRecovery and fastboot!
Bootloader relocked and frp locked!
Stupid me relocked the bootloader bc I read that you then can unlock oem, then unlock bootloader again!
Well, that was a mistake!

Yeah. Only way then would be to rebrand to C636 using the DLOAD method, then rebrand back to your stock version using the Update thread under Guides. The latter requires twrp though so you'd need to rebrand first to get a working system.
To be honest I just figured he had already unlocked and flashed twrp as he was in the decrypt thread
Missing oem was an error on my side. It was long since I had to unlock oem xD

Weird. I tested with 3.1.0 a few days ago. But I guess it could have to do with builds. 3.1.0 is using kernel for B182. Maybe it's fixed if you use 3.1.0 with B182.
Oh well, good you managed to install it anyway.
Edit: I tested with the SuperSU I linked.

All I know is that it wasn't present in builds before B182.
 @st_voss is the one who found out it was added in B182 (Kernel build April. 11th probably as that's what I have on B182.).
It might be present in B181 on C636 as well, that was released 8th of May.

mr. ante0 ..... u r the man , thank you so much

Anyone Willing to Help a Newbie Pixel User.

Hello guys is there anyone willing to help me out?
Im long term HTC user in the past 15 Plus years i was flshing whatever i want and im familiar with this but i switched to Pixel 2 and i want to clear for myself few things prior before to brick it.
I also read this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-walleye-t3702417
But its seems like the thread is not updated and some users mention problems with flashing Magisk etc.
Im fully Stock locked bootloader with the latest Android Pie from 5 January 2018
The Pixel i use is Google Edition worlwide version not loocked to any network etc.
The main reason to want to Bootloader unlock it is because i need the Magisk in order to be able to flash and use few of the must have for me apps that i use all the time.
1st is SAURON audio - without Magisk and TWRP this is not posible.
2nnd few additional Magisk modules that i use non stop in the past few years.
What is not clear for me is the steps and exactly the second steb with Flashing Flashing factory images?!
In HTC i need to get the bootloader unlock S-OFF is i want and flash a TWRP in this case i can flash on top Magisk so here is different and not very clear for me as well.
When im now on the latest Android version from 5 January do i need still to flash FACTORY IMAGE after unlocking the bootloader?
Is anyone willing to help to clear the things out before to mess the device.
Thanks in advance

Hi If you just want to unlock bootloader, there is no reason to flash factory image again. Just allow unlock bootloader in developer options, reboot to bootloader and run fastboot flashing unlock, this will fully wipe/factory reset your device.
Now you could boot/flash TWRP and install magisk.
When will be new monthly update available, flash it with help of this thread:

Good luck :good:

Thank you for the info.
So this mean i dont need to flash Image if im with the latest stock Version.
I prefer to stay stock just miss some Magisk modules thats why i wondering what to do.
Can i flash just a Kernel for example KiriSakura after unlock the bootloader and install TWRP just to flash Kiri Kernel with the stock rom im now and other Magisk stuffs like Sauron etc.
Thanks again

Hi exactly, if you run latest stock you havn't flash it again after bootloader unlock.
If you want to petmanently flash twrp, you have to do it before flashing magisk, othetwise you willn't be able to boot os only twrp.

Question about low level of android

Hi guys and girls,
I bought a oneplus 7 pro recently and wanted to unlock the bootloader and root it to install the xXx Nolimits mod except I made some errors (I believe I removed too much bloatware with the .profile file, my WIFI and my mobile data were no longer working), so I re-lock the bootloader except that I got this error message: "Your Device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot", I was scared for a moment but I managed to access the fastboot and re-unlock the bootloader this time to remove everything that was not there in the stock phone and re-lock the bootloader.
I did all the checks after re-locking my bootloader (root check, safety net check, sensor check, Widevine check and stock recovery check).
My question is: is it possible that something has been changed in the low level of android? (I just install TWRP with fastboot, flash Magisk with TWRP and finally flash the xXx nolimits mod).
Thanks for your help !

oops I created another thread by editing my old one. Sorry.

Just use MSMtool to reflash your phone. The links are in the guides section

From what I've seen from a few people on here, nolimits doesn't really do anything useful. Debloat a few apps but everything else it doesn't isn't that good, apparently. I used it before and thought it was good. But I'm pretty sure I get better battery and performance on stock with a custom kernel and used something else to debloat.
Also, as some else suggested, MSM tool is great to get back to stock with everything proper.

Thank you for your answers @Jinsuke32 and @GeekMcLeod
I would like to know if you can use MSM Tool with a locked bootloader and does this tool erase all data during flash?

Not sure if it can be used with locked bootloader. But it erases everything.

Rooting Failed

I just bought a new Redmi 9a with hopes to root this device. But after much time and effort in attempting to root it. I was just stuck with a boot loop. I did all the necessary requirement in order to root. Unlocked Bootloader (waited 7 days) Downloaded and Installed Updated Drivers..etc
I was successful in almost all steps of the rooting process until the one where im supposed to enter the twrp recovery mode. Is there a solution to this? or is because the twrp file is unofficial? Is there no chance to root this model of phone just yet?

There is actually no reason to install TWRP because nothing seems to be working after a flash, like Magisk.
I rooted mine by flashing boot.img from Tigrouzen, you can find his work in dev section. The only thing you have to do is to play with ADB commands, it should take 5 minutes at most.
Important point : I'm on MIUI 12. I really dont know if it work on the newest update.
To finish, like everytime, sorry for my scoolish English.

What would happen if you install Magisk without unlocked bootloader

I have installed Lineage OS (Android 10) on my phone and TWRP through download mode and ODIN. The instructions I followed had no mention of unlocking the bootloader but it worked. I did not check the bootloader prior to the process nor did I find anything in the settings menu indicating anything about the bootloader. I therefore assume my bootloader is almost certainly unlocked but in the interest of being 100% certain that I will not brick my phone, I would just like to confirm with some more experienced members of the community if this is indeed true. Can I attempt to flash magisk using TWRP? If my phone has a locked bootloader and I attempt to install Magisk, is there any hope of recovery or would my phone be completely unusable? Thank you.

Which device?
Samsung didn't need an bootloader unlock until i think Galaxy S5.
Also since you already successfully flashed TWRP and lineage, i assume flashing Magisk won't make any difference

S6 Edge (G925F). I flashed Magisk and it worked. I asked on Reddit as well so a guy told me I wouldn't be able to boot a custom ROM or TWRP if my bootloader was locked so it should be okay. Thanks.

The same here I have Samsung galaxy tab a6 and I flashed twrp using Odin successfuly
and install lineage custom ROM without unlocking boot loader and I install supersu and it worked perfectly but l wented to use magisk and for that l fully unrooted SuperSU and flash latest magisk but the problem is here after flashed magisk successfuly rebooted and magisk app icon is not showing up on homescreen I install it manuly from file manager the app icon uninstalled it self again a don't now what I have to do
