Yes,its working...

REMOVE ALL OTHER ROOT...working or not befor installing magisk....may end with....something you dont want...

Maybe it would be best to start with a freshly factory resetted phone.... (anyway,to erase all errors in TWRP,youll format/data so... )

you need bootloader unlock... followed instructions HERE don't forget to OEM UNLOCK in /settings/Developer section on phone..(enable it while pressing repeatedly on Phone version (in ''about phone also in settings)

You need MINIMAL ADB on pc...HERE

You need TWRP recovery installed...HERE

but before doing all that...BE SHURE to have the original UPDATE.APP (firmware from huawei) somewhere on your pc

you will need the BOOT.img from your original firmware... (extract it from the update.app (update.zip for huawei firmware)

HERE

extract the boot.img somewhere on your pc... like on your desktop...

then,youll need 2 magisk things...

the LATEST magisk ZIP file...

and the LATEST MAGISK APK...

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS (from Magisk post...i did it and its working :silly: )

Installation Instructions

If you already have Magisk installed, you can directly upgrade through Magisk Manager

For installing Magisk the first time

Make sure to remove any other root, best to restore your boot image back to stock

Via custom recovery:

Download the latest Magisk zip file

Reboot to a custom recovery and flash the flashable zip

Via Magisk Manager (Only support v14.0+):

This method does not need root, and also does not require a custom recovery.

However, you MUST have a stock boot image dump beforehand, and also be able to flash the patched boot image, either through fastboot/download mode or ODIN

Install the latest Magisk Manager

If you're planning to flash the patched boot image through ODIN, go to Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format, and select .img.tar. For normal users leave it as the default .img

Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file

Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]

Flash the patched boot image to your device and reboot. Voilà!

Check whether Magisk Manager is installed and the version matches the latest one in the OP

If for some reason Magisk Manager isn't installed/upgraded automatically, please install it manually

the ADB method is the best...

after reboot,in magisk app,youre supposed to be GREEN checked....

after that,if all green,you can FIX that DATA problem in TWRP...saying cant mount or blablabla... :(

DO a backup cuz yess,youll loose everything... Hisuite for your apps ;)

in twrp, FORMAT DATA... ...wipe data factory reset...re install your things then,youll be able to do recoverys ect. in twrp

dont forget to RE INSTALL magisk APK after formatting and factory reset

IT WILL take some time TO BOOT... so let it do its thing...

Now about magisk modules...all of them ive tried ended in (blablabla not a magisk module)... :confused:

no big deal....just dload the zip and look for the app or file in it... and apply to where it belongs... like new Oreo Emojis...ive dloaded the zip,found the file, then paste the file in /system/fonts...then reboot

now...if i made a mistake somewhere in my explanations well... sorry....

WARNING

IF youre device is bricked or what so ever... its not MY fault....you do that on your own...;)...Ive done it,followed MAGISK instructions and its working....

Not shure about it...DONT DO IT.... :D

DON'T DO TWRP backups with fingerprints/nip/code unlock methods activated on your phone... i had to factory reset phone cuz code was not working.

YES there's a way to recover anyway... THANKS HENKATE

Regarding fingerprint, boot in recovery and go to advanced > file manager and delete data/system/locksettings.db

Then advanced > terminal and type:

cd data/system

rm -rf *.key

Then reboot and you won't have secured lockscreen
