Thanks to [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION], magisk canary builds officially support emui 9, albeit with some caveats.

Note:

This root requires replacing stock recovery with patched magisk init, which will then boot system with magisk support. This means that currently, TWRP or stock recovery and magisk can't exist simultaneously. Also, in order to boot with root, you will NEED to hold down VOLUME UP as the phone is rebooting or booting until the "device is booting" text is displayed. This tells the phone to boot into recovery, which is taken over by magisk init and booted into system with root. Failure to do this will result in the phone booting WITHOUT root or magisk.

I've gone ahead and patched the recovery_ramdisk for EVR-AL00 and EVR-L29.

What is needed:

ADB/fastboot

A computer

A bit of know-how

Step 1: You MUST be bootloader unlocked

-Start by downloading the relevant recovery ramdisk for your variant the AND magisk manager below

Step 2:

-Install the magisk manager

Step 3:

-Copy the recovery ramdisk to a folder with fastboot. Those with environment set up for adb/fastboot can ignore this step.

Step 4:

-Reboot your device to the bootloader. This is accomplished easiest with the adb reboot bootloader command. If you would like to gracefully put the device in bootloader mode, simply power off the device, remove all USB cables from it, but make sure one is plugged into your PC. Once the device is fully powered off, hold down the volume-DOWN key and then press and hold the power button and IMMEDIATELY plug the USB-C cable into the phone.

Step 5:

-Once the device is in bootloader and connected to the PC, run the command "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdiskMagiskVARIANT" with VARIANT being whatever ramdisk you downloaded. For example with AL00 you would input "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdiskMagiskAL00.img"

Step 6:

-Run the command "fastboot reboot" and immediately disconnect the USB-C cable from the phone. At this point you will want to hold down VOLUME-UP until the "device is booting" message is displayed.

Step 7:

-Once the system is booted, open magisk manager and profit.

Only huawei service employees have access to codes. If a trader finds such an employee, they do business until Huawei blocks such an employee. That's why today the code is gone tomorrow and it is back in a few weeks.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] amgreenhawk:
Huawei officially stopped giving out bootloader unlocking codes. Period. Full stop. The only way the dubious sites like funky monkey and other rip off sites are getting the codes for you are through some of the greedy Huawei employees who have access to the phone services to provide the codes. These people join with the other rip-off sites like funky to send you the codes. They are expensive, because people rushing to unlock and willing to pay any money. Part of the mponey goes to the leaking employee and part to the rip-off sites.

It was not like this before. XDA initially was a dedicated community on giving tutorials and contributions towards making the best of our phones. But with more companies blocking bootloader unlocking, everyone started to become greedy. We already paid so much for this Mate 20X and still willing to pay to get the unlocking codes to rip off sites?

Even after rooting, there is no proper support for this phone with other apps because of the locked bootloader limitations. Developers can't freely experiment and tinker with this phone because the codes were expensive once, and now there are no more codes, possibly because the employees concerned were fired and these rip-off sites are unable to get the codes from them.

Even custom roms do not have support for this device, or at least fully working ones, because of this.

When will you guys learn? Wake up. Don't fall prey to the scams. Don't pay just because you can and promote this new trend.

The only lesson I learnt is to do research next time BEFORE buying a phone and make sure that bootloader unlocking is supported by the company.

As for me, I already bought this and the only reason I wanted to root is because of removing phone-wide ads. Right now, I am okay with DNS66 which does not require root. It works well, though I need to restart the service manually Otherwise this phone is perfect, and I can always have official OTA updates without breaking anything.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] VeEuzUKY:
Thank you for your insight. Just to say, I agree with you 100%.

In fact, I bought this phone thinking it would be very easy to root it after getting it unlocked through a third party service. Only after I had already bought the phone did I realise that it's almost impossible to get it unlocked. It's a shame because I love this phone, and like you, aside from getting rid of ads, it's an exceptional good piece of hardware as it is. I still miss not being able to root it, this is the first time I own an Android phone without root actually, but since there's no other like it on the market right now, for now, I will keep it as it is.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] abbas:

Is there a patched recovery image available that works with 120, 123, and/or 129 with AL00?

The 9.1 patched images I have are not worked NG and while I have adb working, extracting from the updates and patching is not working.

Also, is the assumption a non canary magisk manager is required?

Thanks

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
On my OnePlus 7 Pro I had to use the latest Magik Canary on the August security patch to be able to root without bootlooping so I would try the canary build and patch the boot image with that. You can extract the stock rom with Huawei update extractor to get the stock boot.img then put it anywhere on your internal storage then open Magisk and install it then choose patch boot image.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Rudolpht:
ajsmsg78 is king on these types of issues, but my understanding on Mate 20x (which has some less clean ways to address recovery):

1) erecovery ramdisk is the methodology to use TWRP

2) recovery ramdisk is what is what has been pushed for stock or patched images to allow root.

I can get recovery_ramdisk, but see no boot.img in the extractor to patch. I know I'm missing the basics here.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] CCJ22:
Welcome to the suck. I'm fairly blind as well with Huawei rooting method. Things are much easier on the OnePlus side of the house haha. I too am having issues.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Rudolpht:
I was bootloader unlocked and it worked using the HStool method. It shows that it was locked after update but I assume it can still be unlocked.

[MENTION=4246486]Rudolpht[/MENTION] I noticed after upgrading to EMUI 9.1 .310 I too seem to have lost bootloader unlocked. I say that because when I power cycle the device I no longer get the boot up warning message.

However, in about phone dev options I see my "enable oem unlock" is still turned on.

Strange.

Have you attempted to re-unlock your bootloader?

The TL00 is the carrier branded mate 20x or porche edition of the mate 20 pro?. If you can unlock the bootloader, it's worth a try. Other than that it's hard to say.

Only thing I find is that the TL-00 is China Telecom and AL-00 is China Unicom. Only some radio bands seem to change between them. But if the firmware doesn't change, root should technically work on both.
