So i bl unlocked my bla a09 and rooted with fhmatetool and all is well but iam curious to try twrp and magisk, so without reflashing stock image how do i remove su and install magisk? Thanks in advance.
what are the side effects of the following:
"So i bl unlocked my bla a09 and rooted with fhmatetool and all is well " ? Does privateSpace and apptwin still work?
Yes both confirmed working but i dont use them on a regular basis.

Ok, I just unlocked my bootloader in Xperia Z1 5.1, and got it right. I proceeded to use the DRM restoration method, but unfortunately I wiped SYSTEM instead of DATA and it straight up destroyed everything. I started from the bottom again (downgrade root and upgrade) and install Xposed framework + the DRM restore but when I look at the service settings (*#*#SERVICE#*#*) > configuration, Root status is now displayed as Unknown? After I unlocked the bootloader the first time, it displayed correctly : Root Status and Bootloader unlocked YES, but now what could have happened?
That matters less than whether or not root is actually working. Do you have SuperSU installed? Does it say you need to update the binary when you go in it, perhaps? Have you tried Xposed or other root apps?

I think I have figured it out. I saw that it comes with installing the DRM restoration, maybe some kind of trick included in the package to restore back the functions after unlocking the bootloader.
Hi !
I just got a brand new Mate 10 Pro, and managed to get a bootloader unlock code since I haven't updated the phone yet. I plan on unlocking it and then updating it to the latest version of Android.
I spent quite some time trying to figure out in which cases the device could brick, but since it seems that it can brick pretty easily I haven't found a complete answer.
Eventually, I would like to know if there a risk of bricking the device when updating with the official OTA after unlocking the bootloader ? I know that every bit of tinkering could potentially brick a device, but I have not found a similar case to this one. This is not totally related, but I also plan on rooting the device with Magisk once I successfully update it so feel free to tell me if there is something I should be aware of.
Thanks a lot XDA !

Depends on what version of the Mate 10 you have, the US version (BLA-A09) supposedly bricks very easily. Since Huawei stopped providing unlock codes in July I'm wondering where you get a valid unlock code. Also, unlocking voids your warranty, as does any modifications to the software. Also be advised the once you root you will no longer be getting any updates OTA and will have to manually flash updated system images (drastically increasing you risk of bricking your device with every update)

There are multiple sources for valid unlock codes, though all are paid. (OP probably used DC as he said he didn't update phone yet)
Rooting does not disable OTA. You will still receive them. Only problem is installing them... It should go fine if you flash back stock ramdisk and recovery_ramdisk, this will remove both Magisk and TWRP.
However, if you have modified any other partition it may not install anyway, in that case you can try going to menu in System Update and select Download latest full package. This would install FullOTA rather than regular OTA.
Or you can use HuRUpdater to install firmware using TWRP.
One way to hard-brick right now is to downgrade from a firmware using new bootloader to one using old bootloader. This will give you a black screen.

The plan is to update to a stable and recent version using OTA (from BLA-L29 8.0.0.120(C432) to BLA-L29 8.0.0.157(C432)-FULL) and then root this version. Once I have root on this latest version, I plan on using it as long as the phone works, so updating to newer versions in the future and risking to brick the device shouldn't be a problem. I just want a functional root with a decent version of stock EMUI. Would updating from stock locked 120 to 157 and then unlocking + rooting be safe ? Thanks for the valuable info !

I used DC Unlocker since my device was still on an old version, as Ante0 said ! I think that if I ever want to update, I'll remove root (getting back to stock) and then update with OTA. Thanks for the warning, I haven't rooted nor unlocked a device since 2 years and things have changed with the new methods (Magisk etc...).

Yes, that should be fine. You could just unlock bootloader right away and then update, if you wanted to.
Just be cautious, do not downgrade past B146 on C432 (if you ever plan to downgrade), that was the first build with the new bootloader so going to B145 or lower will result in a brick.

Thanks again for the valuable information. Now I'm debating whether I should unlock now or after the update I don't plan on downgrading, except if I have problems after updating and HAVE to downgrade. Last question if I may: I plan on using Magisk (latest version, I guess) to root once I update to BLA-L29 8.0.0.157(C432)-FULL. But I've seen that Magisk/TWRP doesn't necessarily work on the latest versions for some people when using the "basic" way of installing it, I tried to search for an up-to-date guide to rooting but didn't find anything, is the "old" way still good ?
Edit: When I said "basic/old" way of installing Magisk, I meant that it seems impossible to get it to work by installing TWRP and flashing Magisk through TWRP, but that it seems to work by finding a patched "ramdisk.img" with Magisk. Is the latest option a reliable way to get root on BLA-L29 157(C432), considering that I would not have TWRP to restore a backup if using this method ?
Edit 2: Tried the usual way (flashing Magisk zip through TWRP) and it seems to work ! Thank you !
Hi,
I am considering getting the 7.2 in the 6 GB/128 GB edition. Usually I unlock the bootloader and root my phones (Magisk), to be able to use apps such as TitaniumBackup and Magisk Modules like YouTube Vanced.
Has anybody rooted their phone and can report back the availability of Widevine L1 and passing of SafetyNet (Magisk and/or DRM Info) after rooting? How does the phone handle official updates after rooting, do they still come in OTA or do they need to be flashed manually?
Thanks!
I wonder if camera quality gets worse, too.
I hope it's not the same case as with Sony devices...
No, the camera does not get worse.
OTAs
After unlocking the bootloader, I was unable to install any OTA updates. The system did allow downloading them, yet I couldn't get it to install them.
UPDATE
Turns out, you can install OTA updates with an unlocked bootloader. Though, it only works with the stock kernel. So, if anyone installed twrp or any custom kernel, OTAs would not work.
I have both Magisk and EdXposed installed. The latter is a means of using Xposed on the phone. GravityBox works like a charm
Hi
Im trying to root and install custom recovery for my oneplus 7t pro (hd1913, 10.0.7)
1. When i tried to root with magisk i was able to root and flash the modded boot.img, root seems to work only like 20%, tired to install module from magisk like vanced utube and worked
but everything else requires root like ad removing and bloatware removing cannot work.
2. When i tried to install twrp it almost every time failed, i only succeded to get it to boot and not really flash, guess its not available for the device yet.
I dont really mind about the twrp, ill install it if it will ever get out.
But the root, i have to make it work, its only works partially, what can i do?
THANKS AHEAD!

TWRP doesn't work which has been stated many times in the thread.
And what do you mean with ad removing and bloatware removing? How and what app?

Go to mag , settings, systemless host then install adaway and your done
and you dont need to flash the magisk patched img. just boot it up in fastboot. then go to magisk and do install direct. then restart and wait to unplug you phone.

installed miuimix 12.0.2 but banking apps didnt work, i looked t the info and it seems they root and add magisk within the bootloader i guess? (never used or wanted to use before) so i installed magisk manager to uninstall it completely, and now it is stuck.
what do i need to do from recovery to get workign phone again?
and what rom isnt rooted / magisk installed so i can use banking apps. i dont want to be messing around with "hiding" root as i dont believe it will work consistently or may get patched in near future..

Use Miui eu. It's a debloated miui that's not rooted by default.
Yep, had to fastboot official ROM first to get phone working then flash miui EU.
