[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
Do you still have the unlock code? You'll want it, as the update from EMUI 5 to EMUI 8, on every device I've got, has relocked the bootloader.

With that said:

If you want to keep your data, make a backup using Hisuite.

Download the FullOTA firmware for your current version. Extract system, boot, recovery, recovery2 (as you're on EMUI 5) and flash them either in TWRP or fastboot; that should eliminate PHH SU and TWRP, and ultimately leave the system in a clean state.

If you modified other partitions on the device using TWRP or su in general, it wouldn't be a bad idea to use a nocheck recovery or HuRupdater to flash the entire system, to leave everything in a pristine state, since there are partitions you can't flash with fastboot, even with an unlocked bootloader. The instructions for HuR can be found elsewhere on XDA, as can details about nocheck recoveries, though the latter I'd be careful with - using HWOTA7 on Oreo, for example, WILL cause a brick. You've been warned.

Start the update process - you've already been approved for OTAs and they've been offered, so they should happen automatically. When Oreo is installed, it'll automatically relock your bootloader; you can continue updating here, though if you've got a particular target you want to go to, you might want to unlock and use HuR again to flash that specific one now that you're on Oreo. (The latest firmwares can't be rolled back to Nougat.) If you have no intention of going back to Nougat, you have your unlock code, and you aren't planning to do any other modifications like rebranding, then update away, though you may want to hold off of the Pie update if offered. (Shouldn't be, yet, but it could have been approved for your device already; it changes the boot partitions yet again.)

Now that you're on Oreo and presumably unlocked again, make sure you've got the FullOTA image downloaded for that firmware to your PC. (Always a good idea, anyway.)

Magisk can be installed by:

1) Flashing TWRP with fastboot, then flashing a suitable Magisk zip

2) Using Magisk Manager to patch a boot image and flashing that.

For TWRP:

Get a copy of TWRP from the forum here. When I use one, it's the 3.2.1-0 from [MENTION=2642882]Pretoriano80[/MENTION], you'll find it in the development section. Any 3.2.x for Oreo should work though - a Nougat TWRP will not work.

Flash TWRP to recovery_ramdisk in fastboot. Boot to TWRP, flash Magisk.

For Magisk Manager:

Extract "ramdisk" from your FullOTA firmware. Place it in internal storage on your device. Use Magisk Manager to patch the image (install / patch boot image). Transfer the patched_boot.img created by Magisk back to your PC and flash that to the "ramdisk" partition in fastboot.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
Just stumbled over your reply, didn't get an email notification from XDA. Thank you so much. Let's see if I can follow your instructions.

Yes, I still have the code

Done

I downloaded the FullOTA with the FirmwareFinder app on my phone and transferred it to my laptop. Extracted the update.app with WinRAR and extracted system, boot, recovery and recovery2 using the Huawei Update Extractor 0.9.9.3.

Just to make no mistake, could you please confirm the order of flashing these 4 files? And maybe the correct command to use in fastboot?

I don't think that I modified any other partitions, at least not willingly. I even left the system in read-only state. Don't know if phh.su did something by itself?

Will continue to do the above after your kind confirmation of my last questions. Thanks again
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
The order shouldn't be particularly relevant, just that it's safest to reflash all of them:

- boot because phhsu may have modified the boot image to add su to it

- recovery and recovery2 because you loaded TWRP. recovery2 is specified because it's used to be recommended to flash to erecovery as well as normal recovery.

- system because I'm pretty sure that's the biggest thing modified Hy phhsu, and any other system changes you may have made.

Theoretically, other modified partitions won't matter since the upgrade to 8.0 replaces most (all, I think) of them anyway, but if you have to go through update steps through EMUI 5 first before it'll give you 8, then it's safest that they aren't modified. I mentioned other partitions because, with root & TWRP, you technically could have modified any and all of them.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
Flashing of 158 (original ROM version) went fine. Phone rebooted and titanium reported no root access, so it looks good.

After that I started the OTA update to 172 that waited already long time in my settings and it downloaded it. After downloading it gave me an error during the validation process of the file and asked to download it again.

Unfortunately now both the phone updater and the HiSuite app on my laptop say that 158 is the latest available firmware and no update is available.

I guess that I can download directly the newer firmware but I'm not exactly sure how to flash the whole package and what I should do with the other 2 files that come with it besides the update.zip
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
It might be tweaking out about the fact that you'd previously modified system.

I'd grab the last Nougat release (looks like 191; there are 2 of them, be sure it's not the rollback one you grab) and use hurupdater in TWRP to install it, then let the system try running OTA again.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
I had to insert the SIM card of the country I bought my phone in to get the OTAs coming. Luckily I still had it with a few $ credit on it. It used just a few cents in data roaming for finding the new firmware, then I downloaded through wifi.

After 4 updates now I'm on 378 and no sign of Pie yet so this afternoon if I find some time I'll continue with rooting.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
Easy way:

Unlock phone, if you haven't yet again.

Download and flash TWRP from here: https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3783353 (has decryption support) (flash to recovery_ramdisk as Huawei decided to split recovery partition into different parts)

Boot to TWRP, input pin (if you set a pin, else it will decrypt automatically)

Download Magisk: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Transfer Magisk to phone.

Flash Magisk zip in TWRP.

Reboot and you're done.

You might have to tinker around with Magisk Hide and hide apps if your banking apps still detect root.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
As the Huawei Backup took over 4 hours to finish and i can't use Titanium, which is much faster, because I'm not rooted at the moment, I thought it's a good idea to first upgrade to Pie before unlocking my bootloader and losing all data. If I need to stay a few days without root it's ok.

Is there any way to get to Pie without being rooted? I tried the erecovery method on firmware finder. It says that my IMEI is now registered to download the update but when I enter erecovery it starts downloading the 378 oreo package.

I would like to avoid backing up and restoring twice this lengthy process, probably 16 hours all in all
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
The erecovery method won't work unless you can change the DNS settings on the network being used - it hijacks some of the requests to Huawei's servers to force the update. (And even then it's a bit finicky; I have yet to successfully use it, all things considered.)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
Yesterday I finally received 9.0.1.159 with EMUI 9.0.1 by OTA. It installed fine and it's amazing how fast my phone became and how much screen on time I have now with my 2 year old device (8 full hours!). Good job Google and Huawei.

Being on Pie now I suppose that the instructions to root from you and ante0 are not valid anymore as they were meant for Oreo.

Could you please modify the instructions for Pie? And further, as I see that since yesterday in FirmwareFinder a new Pie update 9.0.1.178 popped up, could you please also add instructions how to take this OTA being rooted with Magisk once it arrives?

I've read a bit in the Magisk thread but I did not really understand the part of having to boot to recovery everytime I switch on the phone. Further they are talking there about EMUI 9 but I have already 9.0.1, is there maybe a difference I have to take care about?

Last but not least, I didn't forget my initial promise to donate a few bucks for the detailed instructions so please drop me your email in PM and I'll sent you a few through PayPal or in alternative, if you have some paid apps on the Playstore I could buy them so they might get more visibility.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
The reason recovery boot is needed for Pie is because Huawei removed the ramdisk - in Pie, it's system as root with no way of forcing a ramdisk except by a recovery boot. So as a workaround, Magisk takes over recovery.

The installation instructions for it on Pie are pretty much the same as Oreo, except:

* Patch recovery_ramdisk, not ramdisk. Latest stable Magisk should work (18.1, iirc, has the patches to support recovery boot.)

* When booting, go to recovery. Magisk will start from there and take over the startup process.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itenos:
Hmm, where do I find the TWRP for Pie in order to flash?

And most importantly how do I have to behave in case of new OTAs coming?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
TWRP on this case, don't bother.

Extract your stock recovery from your firmware's update.app file, patch with Magisk Manager, and flash the patched image. When you want to flash an ota, put the stock recovery back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceDeathTK:
I'm familiar with ADB and fastboot and all the rooting stuff, but I have no idea how to create a TWRP build for this device. Someone had a similar problem with a similar model (U673C) here: https://xdaforums.com/android/help/umx-u673c-root-t3719328 . If I can post my stock recovery (which is extracted through fastboot, right?), could someone make a TWRP build from it? Then I could just send over magisk or something to remove all the bloatware, right?

Sorry for being a pain. Thanks for your time.

EDIT: This phone has an unlockable bootloader and I'm already in fastboot, if that helps.

EDIT 2: Running "fastboot oem unlock" gives me

I am new here and I am loving these forums already!

Unfortunately I want to upgrade my MDA I to the latest T-Mobile UK version Rom 2.26.10.2 (or later if there is one) to try to help some freezing problems that I have!

Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me out and provide me with a link to download the UK version of this ROM as all I can seem to find around the internet is the US one and when I tried to upgrade with that one it would not let me :O(

Any help with a UK ROM would be much appreciated!

When I started the Note 3 come the message "This device is locked" and I can only see the MI loginscreen with the number of the previous owner.

The problem is that the previous owner no longer knows his password.

So I can not unlock the device and then bootloader in the system.

I've tried various ways but have not found a solution yet. >en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html<- all this I've tried, EDL mode does not start with the message "not possible on locked system"

[1] To flash EDL you must has validated to EDL mi account+EDL cable+open phone cover to boot into EDL. On EDL mode you can fix this problem, but it is as You see complicated
