Hi guys. Just wondering... in terms of optimising mate 9 pro is there any advantage or major differences at all in rooting with magisk?

Extract and put the HwVPlayer folder in /system/priv-app/

The libs in lib/arm are supposed to be symlinks to /system/lib/ but I don't think it really matters. You could set that up if you want too.

You might have to delete the .odex in oat/arm/ if it doesn't want to work after rebooting.

There is a pc app which calculates the product ID. I can not say if it's working save and correct.

But first try factory reset to get back keyboard.

My device: Mate 9 supersu B190 Mediapad X2 GEM 701->703 B212 KangVIP (AJ mod)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
He fixed it. The product id generator for older devices (Huawei Y300-0100 to be exact) works. You just need to set it up as that same device when requesting unlock code ("Before emui 5.0" needs to be selected). The code is the same as you'd get if you input your Mate 9s product ID.

hi, will my phone work if i root without flashing the 2 files in OP (HW, public)? if so which apps will be missing and why can't they be installed as APK?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Settings app/dev options usually break, System Update disappears, themes stop working. And a few other apps. There are some xmls in there too.

It's not recommended to decrypt without flashing them. And why wouldn't you?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ystokar:
thanks

just trying to understand the process... will indeed try with flashing them

btw, i see some people had success with magisk 12.0 based root. is there any advantage to this method?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Use 13.3 instead. It requires b182+ firmware and twrp 3.1.0-1.

But yeah, it has a few advantages. Mainly MagiskHide if you use PokémonGo or Android Pay. And it has modules (example busybox and adblock) for stuff so you don't have to modify your system partition.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ystokar:
thanks

so if i use magisk do i still need to format and reflash firmware? or none of that as it doesn't decrypt data?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
It removes encryption by default. I use a zip that doesn't remove encryption so no need to format or flash HW and Public zips. Downside is that you can't backup /data in twrp, or use internal SD card in twrp. I use Titanium for backup anyway so it doesn't really matter for me.

Here is zip if you want to stay encrypted, else you'll have to Format and flash official 13.3.

[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkkesler:
anyone can't help me?:(
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
What root did you use?

As for twrp. If you didn't decrypt you won't be able to see your files in your internal SDcard, or most subfolders in /data, in twrp.

And it doesn't make sense... If you Format Data in TWRP, reboot to system, go back to TWRP it would re-encrypt. If you then flash superroot or supersu they'd remove the fileencryptioninline flag and you'd bootloop.

Some apps use the wrong command to mount /system, they use "mount -o remount,rw /system" rather than "mount -o rw,remount /system". The first is not really incorrect but it just says /system is busy.

Stericson busybox can't mount /system when installing busybox, and that's probably why. It installs fine if you mount it as rw first in root explorer.

Hello,

I have upgraded my Mate9 to b190 version, unlocked but phone is still encrypted (I don't want to decrypt). When I install Magisk, it causes bootloop. Can I find any version of Magisk which will be working?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tboooe:
Hi guys. I successfully rooted my MHA-L29C587B190 following the great directions at the start of this post. As noted, I now no longer have things like magazine suscriptions, etc. After installing Public Data and Hardware zips I still cant get back magazine subscriptions. Any ideas?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
You can use this one https://mega.nz/#!I4FQzbyA!gBZelHmD3lGGwzGISUXkf7GQTUAq5i785d_qPHQOaVE

Or extract magisk zip, edit common/boot_patch.sh, go to line 106 and change keepforceencrypt=false to =true, save and zip it all up again.

Or use the terminal in twrp before flashing, and use the following command:

echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk

Hi [MENTION=2247733]ante0[/MENTION]

Does Magisk 13.3 solve the pin issue when MagiskHide enabled?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Yes. And fingerprint works.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Wow, finally works.

I have Magisk 12 now, and I should just flash the Magisk 13.3?

Would the sd card be decrypted after i flash Magisk 13 3?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Seems unable to flash the magisk 13.3
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Oops. I wiped my system but I restored it to magisk v12. Then I tried to flash the magisk v13.3 in twrp, but still no luck.

Do I need a specific magisk zip for decryption or do i need to update my twrp?

My twrp version is 3.1.0-1-0
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
It says what you need to do :P

Flash stock boot image in twrp. Lmk your model+build, I might have it extracted already. LXXCxxxBxxx
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Oh thanks.

Here is the info

MHA-L29C636B180
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
B180? Are you sure?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Yes. Why? I didnt update it since May i think. Because I put the phone aside as the pin doesnt work with Magiskhide
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Ah, B180 was a beta.

Anyway, flash this in twrp to boot, then flash Magisk.

https://mega.nz/#!xtskkQYS!ujMUD4PKrlCDDZps8DFJ4lBLjIBufo9cbnXJDI39Uaw
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Thanks. It works finally after flashing the boot image u provided.

May i know if the Magiskhide needs to re-enable after reboot in order to pass the safetynet?

After every reboot, i hv to go to the hidden menu to enable the log and switch off and on the magiskhide to pass the safetynet.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Mine did that too on B186 and on B193. After flashing B190 and factory reset it worked from start without even enabling log.

USB debugging was bugging out too, it refused to pass SafetyNet with USB debugging off. It's supposed to be the other way around if anything xD.

You could try in B187 since that is the latest C636 now. And factory reset (I did after bootloader unlock) if it still refuses to work correctly.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
After i upgrade to b187, do i need the stock boot image to flash the magisk 13.3?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Found something interesting.

The magiskhide will be turned off after reboot.

I have to go to hiddenmenu after every reboot to enable the log and turn on the magiskhide in the setting of magisk manager, then the safetynet passed.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
No, you'll be at stock. Just a caution, B187 has a bug in camera. But only if you use raw mode. It's the same with C432, B193.

Yeah, same thing for me in previous builds. I wonder if they enabled full logging by default as I didn't even have to enable it once now.

I guess you could try doing a factory reset right now, you'll need to flash stock recovery though so you get to stock factory reset. And make sure to backup everything first (titanium backup or what have you. If it's a setting that causes it to bug it might not work to backup in twrp and restore, the bug would probably remain) :P

Or you could backup /data in twrp and factory reset, if it doesn't fix it you could just restore the backup.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Updated to B187. Did the factory reset in the stock erecovery. Still the same, or worse because now the ctsProfile is false no matter what i do.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
That means Google didn't approve of the build yet :/

I guess, if you have time and want, you could try B183.

It's named differently: L29BC636B183

BC instead of just C after L29.

That or go back to B180.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] serKhl:
Not work for me I don't get root. That's can be cause I'm used twrp not from this post?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Will try it as soon as i get home.

Are you using this build L29BC636B183 without any problem?

Should I choose [same brand update] or [rebrand] ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
I'm on L29C432B190.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Should I choose [same brand update] or [rebrand]??
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
If you update/downgrade from C636 to C636 its same brand update, if you go from C636 to C432 it's rebrand.

However, don't. You will most likely get problems with sim if you rebrand to C432.

Also when you downgrade you will probably bootloop. Factory reset from erecovery if you do. That happened to me when I went from B193 to B190.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Haha ok. I saw the build is BC636 instead of C636, so i thought it might be different brand
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
It means it's a beta. Same as B180 :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Do u know which version works best with magisk?

Tried b180, b187.

Should I try the b188 instead?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Oh, that's a new one. SafetyNet will most likely fail in B188, because it's not approved by Google yet.

I'd try B181 or BC636B183
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tboooe:
Just an FYI...rooting with the latest version of SU and TWRP on a c567b190 (US version) doesnt have any issues with Magazine unlock.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Tried b181 but no luck.

Magiskhide will be turned off after reboot. And i hv to enable the log and switch on n off the magisk hide in order to pass to safetynet.

Will try the bc636b183 later.

A strange thing, there is no factory reset option in the erecovery after i flash the b181 firmware.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Thats weird. :eek:

I noticed this, for me anyway.

After updating firmware I have to make sure USB Debugging is functional, else Magisk hide keeps turning off.

I did this by plugging in device and running adb devices, if it shows nothing I know it won't work correctly. If it says Unauthorized it will work as soon as you turn on debugging.

I don't know how to make it work when it doesn't say anything... Seems like a hit and miss.

I had B190, flashed B193, went back to B190 but this time debugging kept turning off. Went to B194 and now it works again. It works but it's uncertified so CTS profile fails.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Just noticed the usb debugging will turned off every time i exited the developer option.
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
Still the same in bc636b183.

Magiskhide is off after reboot. The usb debugging seems a bit weird too.

[MENTION=2247733]ante0[/MENTION], Do you think it is the problem of magisk or huawei?
[Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] calchung:
I will just stick with the b183 and just installed the xposed as well, i think it is gd enough for now as i will hv root cloak in xposed

I appreciate the help. Turned out to be the firewall at work. At home now and everything is downloading fine

Okay, here is the xml list for the MHA-L29C432B190

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1366/g104/v89804/f1/full/filelist.xml

I am guessing that the path for the public.zip is public? I used that path along with the file name and it did download the public file.

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...04/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip

The other file has me stumped. I am guessing that the path is /MHA-L29_hw_eu/ When I put that at the end of the location along with the file name, update_full_MHA-L29_hw_eu.zip. It tells me file not found. Am I using the right link to download that file?

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...l/MHA-L29_hw_eu/update_full_MHA-L29_hw_eu.zip.

And all of this was for naught. I woke up yesterday morning and my beautiful Black Mate 9 was dead:crying:. I had not plugged it in the night before and I just figured it was out of juice. Plugged it in and no response at all. The phone would not recognize it was plugged in or even that it was taking a charge. I messed with it most of the day. Different cords, different chargers etc. It was definitely dead. Luckily, the seller I got it from on Ebay offered 30 day returns and since I hadn't even had it a week, they accepted the return. I turned around and bought one off of Swappa and it should be here tomorrow. So I guess I get to start all over on sunday:( Good news is my Nillkin case and Super T+ screen protector should be here on monday.

At step 3a I am not able to backup Data, it says authorization is not allowed. Do I need to back up Data? If so, how do I get past this error?

After backing up without Data, I rebooted the system.

Then after reading some more comments I flashed TWRP 3.1.0.1 and then rebooted to the system.

Huawei downloaded L29C636B183 and rebooted to TWRP but there was no way to update from TWRP that I could see, so I rebooted.

Now I cannot get the phone to boot to TWRP. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Also, the latest build is MHA-L29C636B183. Will the Public_data.zip and Full_HW_data.zip work with this build?

Hi guys, really sorry to trouble you senior members with this question but I can't seem to find any info on this issue of reverse charging. There's plenty of info on reverse tethering but not charging. My mate 9 pro has been rebranded from Chinese version to lon l29c636b228 rooted and Everytime I connect otg, which is very often, it automatically goes to reverse charging. In default settings it's set to mtp and yet upon connection the device goes to reverse charging. I have to go into settings and set it manualy to mtp again. Can I can get some help with this?
