Yes this is Systemless, OTA should be fine - I've manually flashed OTA via dload but not tested normal OTA upgrade
will this root method have any drawbacks compared to the standard method( installing twrp and then flasing super su) am i going to be able to do the same things that im able to do with any rooted device? thanks in advice

SuperSu does not currently work on the P9 with Nougat, partially due to lack of loop mount support in the kernel. Kernel sources are needed to rectify this, so I encourage people to email Huawei asking for their Nougat kernel patches.
PHH is not perfect (some apps don't work fully) but it's the best we have right now

ohh okay thanks for the info and also the work, i guess im waiting till the fully working method is out.
I've heard that they will relase the source near this month or the next when they finsh updating every p9
Is it possible to use this prerooted boot.img for l19 honor 8?
No. It's for P9, Honor 8 isn't P9, right?

Thank you for the guide, everything worked as described. I've got my P9 with c432 b378, rooted and TWRP installed.
By testing so far, RootChecker, AdAway (v3.2), Titanium and Reboot (to boot into TWRP or fastboot) all work fine with this phh's SuperUser
PS: It's possible to install Chainfire's SuperSU instead, and Viper4Android works too, see e.g.

Hi all, is that ok to flash on my current P9 L09C432B383 ?
The stock and pre-rooted boot.img states its form .378 but would it be ok on .383?

Hi,
I am running Magisk 16.0 on my OnePlus 3. I would like to install my modules via the manager, but I always get that error. What's there to be done? Thanx.

Latest magisk is 17.2 version so it seems you need to update it
I currently have Magisk 17.1 installed and when I open Magisk manager I am notified about the new update to Magisk manager v7.0.0. When I update to the new manager and try to open it I am told that it came open because Magisk is below v18.0.
My question is what is the best/safest way of updating to 18.0/18.1 from 17.1? I don't have TWRP installed currently. Do I need to uninstall Magisk, patch a system.img with the latest version (18.1), then reinstall that way? Supposedly you can easily go from 18.0 to 18.1 but I haven't found any straight forward answers to go from 17.x to 18.x.
Thanks for any help
I see the magisk method but it require boot.img, something that lineageos doesn't have. Any clue?
Thanks.

With lineage, the 'recovery' image is the boot.img. It's just the boot image with lineage recovery 'injected' into it. You can use it and inject magisk.
I think the better way to do that though is to adb sideload the magisk apk, but you first have to rename the 'magiskxxx.apk' to 'magiskxxx.zip'. Doing it that way will also add a needed script file to the lineage system, so that when u do a lineage update, magisk and it's modules will be in the updated slot.
cheers
I have seemingly done everything that's needed to have a functioning nethunter kernel on top of lineage os 18.1 - My oneplus one starts up with kali nethunter -
On the Nethunter Startup notification, it states ROOT: No root access is granted. Also when I click on the nethunter app, it says no root access...
I used the SuperSu.zip and flashed using twrp and it said everything went fine....i think I am missing something between using SuperSu or flashing magisk.
Can someone enlighten me?
