So i recently purchased a US mate 10 pro bla a09 and bl unlocked and rooted and now themes are missing and even the setting to apply themes in Display is missing, i have read it is an issue when huawei phones are unlocked, is there a fix apart from reinstalling to stock, thank you.
How did you root?
Using fhmatetool from funkyhuawei in one of the xda threads.
If you root is will be gone,

check if you have /data/hw_init/ folder, if not you need to reinstall your firmware.
Use this to reinstall: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-mate-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814
You can use that same guide to root as well, or flash twrp manually then Magisk.

Only if you use old method, or old pre-patched ramdisk.
Magisk works fine, SuperSU should work fine too if flashed in TWRP.
Downloaded stock themes online and placed in system/themes, all is well now.

I mean is there any possible way to root this device? I tried flashing SuperSU, didn't work. Then I tried flashing the systemmode SuperSU, got stuck in the bootloader warning text. I also tried some pre rooted Roms from the forum.. and they just won't boot. What am I missing here..??

I didn't. I had no clue what it was. I just flash recovery n install the SuperSU file with it on other phones.
Now I'll try rooting it once the nougat arrives.

Nougat could introduce more issues (e.g. Xposed doesn't work with Nougat as of today... Magisk & SuperSU... who knows?) but in theory steps should be the same...
More: this is unknown to most (and I don't have a clear explanation for it... only some hypothesis...) but even TWRP could have issues...
On another phone I've found (only one time to be honest... ) that an updated firmware required an updated TWRP to have it working (older one simply doesn't booted anymore even if reflashed...)

I don't like OTAs at all... I'll prefer going with flashing full images by fastboot (if stock images) or TWRP (if custom ROMs or zip flashable version of stock images...).
They are safer and cleaner than OTAs...

@enetec
Are you able to restore all the changes you made to /system, to successfully install the next OTA-update?
Or you just reflash the whole stock image before the next ota?

As I said elsewhere, I don't like OTAs at all...
Probably it could be possible to restore all as stock from my backups, but I will surely update (when I'll decide to...) using fastload or TWRP (depending of image formats...) as you said...
Anyone knows how Google Pay works on rooted phone, I hate bringing my wallet OMG life is unfair you can't get everything haha. I asked question because I don't want to try and find a way myself because it is rooted and to want to pay Funky Huawei for unbriking my phone and they emailed me that if I use their service and made a mistake in the process that they will not provide support and just buy credit again and try again wtf!

GPay working on my rooted-with-Magisk-16.0, dual-sim BLA-L29 M10P that's been re-branded to BLA-A09, US release firmware. regarding FunkyHuawei, true it's a personal choice to use their service and there might be other options to consider. i soft-bricked my device twice experimenting with re-branding and each time i was able to recover with their tools.

Are themes working? Check if you have the folder /data/hw_init/
If you don't care for themes you can simply restore your stock ramdisk, then flash TWRP (optional, and Pro only) and Magisk.
Lmk your full firmware L29CxxxBxxx

You can use the flash/rebrand guide to reinstall your fw version. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-mate-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814
For the download fw part, just search for your firmware on hwmt. Then in the FullOTA row click on the "File list" link and a pop-up with direct links will show, copy and paste the 3 links (there are separate links for L29 and L09 hw data, select the one your phone is) one by one into a new tab of your browser and download. Rename as the guide says, follow the Flash Update part. If you want to root again using Magisk select No when it asks to Lock bootloader.
Then you can use the same guide to flash Magisk. Or if you have a Mate 10 Pro you could flash TWRP and flash Magisk using ADB sideload, it doesn't matter which you choose. Or stay stock.
Hi. I want to root My OP7T Pro. Im on 10.0.11.hd01ba software. I have tried some guides here but ended up in bootloops. Most of the guides here is written for the AA global software not the BA European software. I wonder if there is someone who has succesfully rooted this device and/or managed to install twrp. And if there is a working patched boot.img flying around here?.
Thanks in advance.

You can use boot.img and described steps from this post to flash patched boot.img

I'm not disagreeing with you there.
My comment more comes from my opinion that many XDA users are relatively new and can't for the life of everyone read and read some more (or follow directions for that matter). There's a good chance they end up downloading the wrong file and getting into a mess.

I agree with what you said here, that's why in this situation, I show him how to flash first, then if the user shows interest, I will obviously show how can he make ALL the process for himself.
I've seen to many junior members reading all the "hard work" and just saying "F*** this, I will just try to find automated way..."

Well well. Today i got the hedache. Everything worked well untill i had to make a reboot. No wi-fi, bluetooth and force close when trying to make a call. Guess i have to restart the whole thing. I vill reflash original stock rom once again and Yess i will take that last advice off yours. Is there any guide for using the payload dumper you could suggest?

Could be Magisk module(s) related...
I prefer booting TWRP and doing an adb pull of the boot.img instead of using Payload Dumper

Full Root Guide using TWRP
Note: you don't have to use Canary Magisk; keep a copy of your non-patched boot.img to go back to if you end up with bootloop

You have to redo the root process as described in my guide ! ^^
You just don't need to unlock the bootloader as it is already done.
BTW, which Magisk version are you using as I have to update my guide since the release of Magiskv24.3 ?
The root process won't change only everything related with magiskv24.3...

will the data be reset?
For future reference, you do not have to wipe your data when updating your phone. Simply acquire the update files, either from Samsung Smart Switch or the internet. Copy the AP file to your phone, patch it with Magisk. Then with Odin, flash from the update, the BL file, the magisk patched AP file, CP if you have one and the Home CSC file, as this will retain your data compared to plain CSC which will wipe it

I have done every update this way. It always works, although I have only tried this on the s7, s8+, A52 5G so maybe other Samsung's are different. Or maybe I am just super super lucky every time :/

Have you tried Odin to do the flashing? While not the same device, I have rooted my SM-A526B without TWRP by patching the boot image with Magisk and then copying over the patched boot.img file to a computer, then finally flashed it over using Odin.
I have played with TWRP and Odin in the past with other phones; But I don't feel comfortable experimenting with this phone since it's my only source of work right know. After the process is proved ok by other people with the exact same model as mine, I can't risk experimenting like I have done other times.

This won't work on Samsung "U" variant phones because of their locked bootloader. Once you modify boot.img with Magisk, the phone will automatically detect it as custom firmware and it won't allow it to be flashed because of locked BL.
