Hi Guys,
Note : By doing this, you know that you're gonna do a modification to your phone, and im not in any way, responsible for what happen after. Escape Route for if something wrong happen is provided, but YOU DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK
since this phone is fairly new, at this moment a clear rooting method haven't established yet. This is what this thread for.
Based on information gathered from P20 Lite Forum (the rooting guide for that device even already up - here), it seems the old trick of rooting (from Mate 10 Pro) using Patched Boot Method is working fine. And Magisk is working
Basically this method need few pre-requisites :
1. Unlocked Bootloader (by getting the code here ) - and if you not sure how to do it, go here for the guide
2. Stock Boot (or RAMDISK to be precise for this phone) - I managed to extract it from 8.1.0.106 ROM version for CLT-L29 (download here)
3. Magisk Manager 5.5.4 (from Magisk Thread) to patch the .img above, or
4. Patched RAMDISK image (i patched it) from here
5. and of course computer with ADB & Fastboot installed (make sure you have latest SDK to prevent something not working)
Now, to Root it, all you need to do is,
1. Boot into bootloader
2. Type
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
(patched_boot.img is the file you download from prerequisites number 4, placed it in the same directory with your adb & fastboot - i assume you know that already)
3. Reboot
4. You now should have root access, download Magisk Manager to manage modules and superuser
(you might need to flash this module if you failed to pass safetynet)
In case something go wrong, flash back the stock RAMDISK from pre-requistes number 2 above using same method as what u did to flash the patched one.
That way worked. Thanks.
Edit:
Just as a hint. To get magisk work as it should..
After boot into the system and installed Magisk Manager, install Magisk from there again, so you dont get any /data/magisk problems.
SafteyNet passed then.
Fingers crossed twrp is possible soon
Works on CLT-L09
I have a German single Sim from Vodafone tested the root yesterday and works very well
Would this method work on CLT-L09 model? Thanks

The post before you just confirmed yourbquestion, LoL
Yes it does
This is awesome, thanks for sharing! I thought I could live without root but after only half a day, I've decided I can't!
Before I do this, I was wondering where you managed to get the stock rom (quote below)?

Hey guys, I need some help please! I unlocked bootloader through Huawei website which went fine and then when I flashed the patched boot.img through fastboot and tried to reboot my phone has told me there was a critical error while booting. It won't boot to system and just loops a few times and then boots to Huawei eRecovery. This is my first Huawei device and I'm clueless as to how to recover
Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks
**EDIT*** false alarm! I managed to boot to fastboot and restore the ramdisk from the first post

The ramdisk.img was taken from .106 ROM, so its actually newer than what installed on your phone. That might become issue,
But, do you managed to revive the phone using the stock ramdisk from first post ?

Yes thank you, the stock ramdisk from the first post allowed my phone to boot normally again. Do you think if I use magisk manager app to patch the stock ramdisk it will work for me? Or is that the same as what you did to make the patched boot.img anyway?

If you have the 103 rom, and able to extract the ramdisk yourself, you can try patch it yourself.
Have you tried to flash the patch ramdisk one more time ? In case it just a bad flash.
Because if you manage to boot using stock one. It means your system has no problem using .106 boot image and the patched one should work as well

It's hosted on bigota.d.miui.com which means it's official. That is Xiaomi's OTA server.
Thanks for the link, but did you try with the mi tool? If you tried and the message about the bootloader persistis, then my suspects are true: You have to wait to unlock the bootloader in order to flash even with an Official ROM and this official tool. I was hoping this could be avoided if you have both: xiaomi tool and Official Xiaomi Rom.
Well, on this link it does not mention you need to unlock the bootloader for it: https://androidmtk.com/use-xiaomi-mi-flash-tool

this tool only fastboot rom
does this require twrp to install or a normal way to install this room
I've just tried it. Yes, you need to unlock your bootloader in order to install it. The rom doesn't seem to be complete because it keeps bootlooping after you set your location during initial setup, I guess we need to wait for a fastboot rom for now, or for Xiaomi to officially announce it being available.
EDIT: Yes, you'd need TWRP to install.

Nice work Can I lock my bootloader after following your tutorial? I really need my Google Pay working and I want my device to be as stock as possible (so no root, Magisk etc.).
But I remember in old xiaomi devices you could flash the rom directly from updater /settings. Why Is this not possibile now?

Now it warns you that you can't install older version on top of a newer one. We can possibly get around it by flashing V9.5.4.0 first through MiFlash, but I can't find it anywhere.
EDIT: Found it, will try to flash through TWRP, lock my bootloader and flash Global from Updater app.

I've just tried it and the bootloader has to be unlocked, otherwise the phone will not boot. But thanks for your guide, I have succesfully installed Global, many thanks so to sum things up, to install Global rom you need to:
Unlock your bootloader
Flash TWRP from Xiaomi.eu
Flash Global from first post and WITHOUT rebooting flash region fix from carburano's guide
Now you can reboot to system
A small yet important edit as I've seen my post being quoted multiple times: you need to format the data partition (which means erasing all of your user data, including all your files) during the installation process, otherwise the system will not boot. A normal wipe (without wiping your personal files) is not sufficient since the data partition is encrypted and thus unreadable for the newly installed ROM, leading to a bootloop.

Yeah, I don't know what's going on as well, probably dm-verity kicks in and prevents booting because you can see the bootanimation with the MIX logo. I hope fastboot version will get rid of such problems
P.S. If you try to boot with locked bootloader, it will reboot to recovery with a red "This version of MIUI can't be installed on your device" text.

ah ok now is clear. I hope fastboot version will solve everything
Oneplus updated the OnePlus 6's Bootloader and you may ask yourself 'Can i still root?'
The answer is yes. It is easy.
1. At first, your bootloader has to be unlocked
2. Just download the Twrp.img and the Twrp installer from twrp.me, then the latest magisk installer
3. Put the magisk.zip and twrp installer zip into the root of your device and boot into bootloader
4. Now you have to open a new shell or cmd window in your adb folder, then type "Fastboot devices" there
5. If your phone is recognized, then do this command: " fastboot boot .\twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img"
6. The op6 should boot into the TWRP, there type in your pincode, pattern, or what so ever you have. If you get a message because of system modification, click 'Keep read only'
7. Go to 'Install', then flash the TWRP installer zip, then magisk right after it
8. Just reboot and enjoy
The procedure is the same as always. I can confirm it's working because i rooted a few minutes ago
Just keep in mind the kernels and custom roms haven't been updated to 5.1.7 base yet and may not work until they are.

i understand butttttttttttttttttttttt this forum is flooded with how to flash twrp, how to root with 5.1.6, how to install 5.1.5 with twrp ect ect ect lol just trying to reduce clutter and make things a tad bit simpler. No offense guys lol
So if I already have twrp and Magisk installed is the method still the same?
Will this update lock the bootloader back?
Pretty sure I swiped to allow system modifications on my first twrp installation so will that matter?

Hey Folks,
I recently stumbled upon Team MT's quite useful Huawei Multi-Tool – but didn't find anything about it in the Honor 10 Forum although it's compatible!
First of all I have no connection to Team MT at all, so this thread is just about the usefulness of the Tool and what you and I might experience using it.
Also I'm not responsible for any damages/issues caused by this tool.
The tool might come in handy for people that are uncomfortable using cmd/terminal commands or get confused too easily.
Of course there are still a lot of things that could go wrong so if you're not sure what you're doing or what the consequences might be, just don't flash anything.
To use the Multi-Tool, you'll have to have your bootloader unlocked and the phone connected to your pc with adb installed.
When the tool shows you the (right) phone model in the lower right, you're good to go.
With the help of the Multi-Tool, you can
ROOT your Honor 10 with Magisk
flash TWRP
flash STOCK RECOVERY
unlock various small features
All with just a few clicks.
You can download it at Team MT's website:
http://pro-teammt.ru/huawei-multi-tool/
I for instance used it to flash the stock recovery after I had installed TWRP, so I could get regular OTA updates through the system again.
I'm curious to see if there are other people that have used the tool as well or what people that just heard of it now will use it for.

The Stock recovery just appeared inside the Multi-Tool, where I was able to download and flash it, I didn't download or back up anything beforehand.
Isn't there some dropdown menu where you can choose the recovery to flash?
I've been flashing it onto my COL-AL10 AND my L29, so it works either way.
