As a start, this phone is great and I feel that it doesn’t need to be unlocked and rooted for a stable and long lasting daily use. However, unlock and root is almost a religion if you use Android phones
As a piece of info, big thanks to @raimondomartire, there is a thread for unlock, flash TWRP and root in the Mate 9 forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-huawei-mate-9-pro-unofficial-t3546976, which is however according to my experience not totally applicable for the M9Pro anymore. There are also several other threads on the Mate 9 forum. Many things can be shared between both phones, but not always. Be careful about what you are doing!
-----
General info and attentions:
- My phone is M9Pro LON-AL00 (All net version from Chinese Mainland); LON-L29 (International version) should also work.
- This thread applies for build LON-AL00C00B213. Can be also applicable for similar builds, but I couldn’t test. Please report.
- None of the current builds of TWRP (up to 3.1.0) can decrypt data partition by default, which means you could only format the data partition in TWRP in order to access it in recovery (for backup to and install from internal storage etc.). But after formatting, you have to flash Huawei’s special stock data back to data partition (/data/hw_init), otherwise several functions of Huawei ROM won’t work. Refer to this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71302827&postcount=627) or this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72497328&postcount=204). Thanks to @gm007 and @ante0
- There are several root methods which handles encrypted or decrypted data partition. I didn’t format the data partition, i.e. data is still encrypted. If you want to format the data partition, please refer to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986. Thanks to @eddmecha
- If you need stock ROM, refer to useful links below. Use Huawei Update Extractor to extract the individual partitions from the ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

Unlock bootloader:
There is enough info in the internet about unlocking M9Pro’s bootloader. Just a few points to mention:
- Generally, you can follow the steps in @raimondomartire thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-huawei-mate-9-pro-unofficial-t3546976). But unlike he describes in his thread, there is no OEM Unlock options in the developer options anymore. Just use ADB to unlock.
- FRP unlock is not required!
- Huawei enables now a 14-day limitation, where you can officially get the bootloader unlock code 14 days after you first activate your Huawei ID on your phone and have logged in using your Huawei ID 14 CONSECUTIVE days.
- To go around this limitation, you can use dc-unlocker to get the bootloader code immediately. Google yourself
-----
Flash TWRP:
- Still, you can follow the steps in @raimondomartire thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-huawei-mate-9-pro-unofficial-t3546976).
- The image from this thread is 3.0.3, which has some bugs built in, especially when flashing SuperSU.
- You could use TWRP 3.1.0-1 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-huawei-mate-9-t3515617, but this one seems to have problem to be recognized as ADB device in recovery.
- There is a version 3.0.2 for Mate 9, which seems to have problem mounting USB-OTG.
- If your data partition is encrypted, you can only use ADB sideload or USB-OTG to install anything.
- If you want to do data wipe in TWRP, you have to flash Huawei’s special stock data back to data partition. See above general info and attentions.

Root:
Firstly, thanks to @ante0 for explaining different flags in the root methods: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72504501&postcount=210. Some more discussions between us are also around this post.
I also tried several other root tools on the market (mobilego, vroot, YoRoot, OneClickRoot, iRoot etc.), NONE of them works.
As mentioned, there are different root methods around for unlocking M9Pro, depending on if you want to format your data partition. For me, I didn’t format, and SuperSU works for me. And the mate_9_pro_root.zip from @raimondomartire thread didn’t work for me.
I followed the steps below:
1. Get TWRP 3.1.0-1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-huawei-mate-9-t3515617)
2. Disable fingerprint ID (I think it’s probably optional, but have read somewhere that fingerprint stops working after flashing root).
3. Flash stock boot image for B213D (in download section). I think it’s optional too, but if you have tried other methods before, you can do this step to make sure your boot is stock and clean
4. Flash TWRP 3.1.0-1
5. Flash SuperSU-v2.79-MATE9-init.d_support_no_decrypt-signed.zip (in download section) via USB-OTG (in TWRP the device is not recognized as an ADB device, hence no “ADB sideload”). Thanks to @ante0 for building this zip!
6. Reboot – phone will reboot itself twice and SuperSU.apk will be installed automatically
7. You could flash back to 3.0.3, if you want the ADB sideload function.

Enjoy your Mate!
Just some clarification: (eventhough you wrote it's for AL00C00B213, which I missed xD)
Flashing stock boot is only needed if you're already rooted.
Boot image B213D is only for AL00C00. If you have a different model/build, use the boot image for that specific build:
Download your stock firmware from hwmt.ru and Huawei Update Extractor. Extract update.app from your firmware zip.
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extractor. Rightclick on BOOT and click on Extract selected.
Flash the extracted boot.img using fastboot in download mode (fastboot flash boot boot.img).
OEM Unlocking is required to be enabled. It's just not there in the chinese version (AL00). So check if it's there first and enable if it is.
Hi guys. Not sure if this is the right place to ask but how do I get rid of that annoying "your device is unlocked and can't be trusted....etc " msg?
I have a mate 9 pro and I want to flash twrp and to root it. I did it for some one plus, xiaomi, samsung so I have some experience. reading xda posts about the case of M9pro I understood that is not a simple path and I dont want to hard brick the phone. what precautions should I take?

hi guys. You may or may not find this interesting. I certainly did. I'll post this in the mate 9 pro forum as well but i just thought i could get some ideas from as many of guys as possible seeying that theres a lot more posts here for mate 9 in general.
I have chinese version mate 9 pro that has been rebranded from AL00 to LON Spcseas and rooted. Build number b228. Anyway i recently saw in FF the new b229 so i downloaded all three files which had longer file names than usuall by the way. In twrp, the only file that was visable was the update.zip. So i renamed the hw and public zip files to what they would usually be named. Wiped data, and flashed all three files. Then reflashed supersu.
This is the interesting bit ( i think ). My imei numbers have changed, before flashing, the first imei number ended in 7 - now it ends with 4, the second imei number ended in 9 and now it ends with 7. Also, i now have a MEID number visable which was not there before and a section called android security patch level. Oddly enough im not getting any issues out of play store, im on play store right now and not a single problem regarding authentication. The build number is the same as well. As far as functionality goes, everything seems to be tip top, in fact everything seems to be working better, even unofficial exposed is working well. Only one thing isn't working properly. In phone manager there was a feature in the battery section that darkens the interface for everything to save power and prolong battery. That doesn't seem to be working anymore. In App - Permissions, the permissions is greyed out and it says no permissions requested.. Any thoughts or explenations guys??
Trying to flash another orginal stock rom
I bought a Mate 9 Pro, China Version (LON-AL00C00) want to install Mate 9 Pro, Asia Version (LON-L29C636) software on it. All explanations about Mate 9 Pro is for models which have SD Card. My Mate 9 Pro with dual sims and not containing a SD Card enrty.
I succesfully unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP but couldn't flash LON-L29C636 stock software. Because TWRP don't see update.zip file. Not only update.zip, any files I downloaded or copied before. When I put a OGT TWRP suddenly exits and phone restarts.:crying:
As you see I can't flash a zip file and ofcourse superuser zip file to root as well. I'm stuck in this triangle. Please give me a hand guys.
I can't root my phone. Because I can't view and locate any file of my phone. When I plug a ogt cable twrp exits and phone restarts. 6GB-128GB Dual Sim version

I unlocked bootloader but couldn't root. Anyway I wanted to rebrand my phone to Asia version. Now I'm done but not successful because there is no Google,frp locked, and version is test one.
I can't install twrp because frp lock don't allow it. Also twrp can't read 128 GB internal memory, so I needed to install from pc.
Is there anyway to resolve and install stock Oreo version to my Mate 9 Pro or do you suggest me to resolve it via paid services?

Rebranding is easy with HWOTA system if you will keep your phone EMUI 5.0 Nougat. And there is no risk if you make everything clearly.

Yes you can always flash stock ROM as factory out, if you are not in Oreo.
And you can root it. It's your own protection to have a backup. I suggest you have, anyway it's up to you. You can loose all your data after root.
Hi, yersterday I used TWRP trying to install a newer firmware and I wiped system partition and now it does not boot because it doesn't have an OS. I was on EMUI 8 (636) trying to update the firmware.
Is there any way to flash a firmware via TWRP or Fastboot on EMUI 8 (i know partition names change on Oreo).
Thanks!
Hi there
I bricked my Huawei Honor 7i (ATH-UL06) while trying to root it, I only have TWRP in it now, whatever combination of keys I use to turn it on, it always goes to TWRP. So I wanted to know if there a way to make the stock rom (from the official website) into a flashable zip file, to install it through TWRP. The stock one is a .app file "UPDATE.app".
Here's the link: http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91392&siteCode=cl
I hope you guys can help me, I can't think of any other way to do it.
There's supposed to be a way using SP flashtool, but I'm not sure if it works, I don't remember where to get the scatter file for it, and besides, for that I think I've to put it in fastboot mode, but the keys for that take it into TWRP, so wouldn't work, I think(?).
Please, help :'c

yes, but its a complicated process,
but you can also extract the .app file and manually flash boot.img, system.img through twrp or through fastboot

Yes it possible to to make .zip file (for flashing via twrp ) from .app file Check out for Huawei multi tool
I successfully used it for honor 7 but don't know about honor 7i you should try on multi tool thread
It's ok. I was going to, but ended up using Huawei Update Extractor to get the stock boot.img. Then installed it through TWRP, and rebooted to bootloader to get into fastboot. With that I only needed to flash system.img and recovery.img to get it unbricked. Took me a lot of time, but I got the phone back. I'll be uploading a flashable backup of the stock rom soon, so others can get it faster.
Thanks anyway.

So i can help u with updater script for flashing all those in twrp
I just bought a Huawei Mate SE which is a newer phone that looks like the Honor 7x. I've noticed whenever I search for Huawei Mate Se custom roms, recoveries, and even stock roms I only find Mate 9 stuff and find my self desperate with no support of root, and anything else. I found an article called "How to : Huawei Mate SE Root & TWRP Recovery" , and I successfully unlocked the bootloader, and I successfully installed twrp. The text on the bottom I didn't see which said to install the dm-verity thing. I ran into the problem where there were all these folders were displaying weird text in the main partitions, so instead of installing the version they told me, which was the no-verity-opt-encrypt-4.1.zip, I installed the latest which was the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip version, which soft bricked. So I thought I could fix this by installing a custom ROM. But there were none, so I tried to install cm13 honor 7x rom and It didn't work. I tried installing the correct version after the rom. So even now if I tried to revert the old boot img it still wouldn't work because of the rom. However, since my bootloader is unlocked there is definitely a way I can fix all this. But the problem is their is not any Huawei Mate SE roms anywhere. I need a stock rom for my phone (possisbly a custom rom), or some fix. I can access my recovery, and the bootloader, but not anything else. My model is the BND-L34, pls help.
I did the same thing. Got it working
Put this in twrp back up folder on external SD card. Restored both files then factory reset in twrp. It worked for me every thing works. unzipped with Windows pc
Can't post links. Post [EMUI 5.1] OTA Firmwares and Unbrick Phone method. In Huawei 7x thread post#139 by AlexxC might be easter to search his posts. I have mate se in us on tmo/MetroPCS I flashed the correct 4.1 and still got soft brick. That article cost me couple hours. rooted with honor 7x method.

I have mate se in us on tmo/MetroPCS I flashed the correct 4.1 and still got soft brick. That article cost me couple hours. rooted with honor 7x method. Guess it really is the same phone with extra gig of ram. To AlexxC thanks, you the man

I tried the manual method of unbricking with multi touch and the phone booted, but it is a black screen, and I only see the home, back and tabs buttons. So after i figured out to use the backup that you sent me and it still wouldn't boot.
Are you getting errors in twrp restore you have to mount the partitions that your restoring boot system data etc

Why dont you boot into huawei eRecovery? It downloads the firmware and recovery and recovers your phone.
Hello, I did the twrp magisk install on my mate 10 pro (BLA-L29 8.0.0.150(C432)) and right after that I read that I can't get official updates with twrp. I wanted to ask if I can just download the full BLA-L29 8.0.0.150(C432 update from Firmware Finder and find the recovery there somewhere. I am just speculating but is it a full rom or just partial update, can I open it with something and find the re overy img and just flash it trough fastboot? I read that there were two versions in FF and if you update the wrong one you will brick the device. doescit matter if I just get the recovery or should I go trough the process of detecting my versoin? On a side note is higher slowmo fps possible, I thought they would roll it out with that turbo gpu thing that overclocks the phone when it detects benchmarks.

Yes, download FullOTA from FF, extract update.app from update.zip.
Download and open Huawei Update Extractor. Go to the settings tab and disable Header check.
Go back to start tab and open update.app you previously extracted.
Rightclick on RECOVERY_RAMDISK and click on Extract Selected.
You will now have a stock recovery_ramdisk.img which can be flashed with fastboot (fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img).
It doesn't matter which version of B150 (You have BLA-L29C432B150) you get, both are fine as long as they are FullOTA.
The bricks occur when you flash a firmware with an old bootloader ontop of one with a new bootloader.
This will give you a hard-brick.
On BLA-L29C432 the bootloader was updated as of B146, so you can't downgrade past that (using FunkyHuawei for example or DLOAD/Service firmware).
You can downgrade past it using NoCheck recovery or HuRUpdater, but then you'll have a brick.
My theory is that an efuse, or similar, is blown when you flash a firmware with the new bootloader.
As for Slowmo camera, it will be introduced in Pie. Well, it is already in the beta.
As a side note, since you are unlocked and have TWRP you could just flash firmware directly from TWRP using HuRUpdater.
thanks, I was thinking of just doing that for the future but I felt like asking instead of doing something stupid and bricking it, I thoight there were two 150 versions and one bricked it but since it's just for downgrading I will update with with ff and huru from now on
Hey guys, I just saw the EMUI 9 update dropped today. I have a rebranded ALP-L00 to ALP-L29 Mate 10 and is wondering how to flash the update? I typically use HuRu updater with TWRP to flash updates before, but the new EMUI 9 update only has two of the three files (update.zip & update_full_ALP-L29_hw_spcseas.zip)
View attachment 4620196
Is there anyone who knows how to manually flash the EMUI 9 update?
Thanks!

Do not use HuRUpdater to update major android version
Flash TWRP by Pretoriano80: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904
Download this https://mega.nz/#!sGwVXSZS!NzdnQSYfSZUrdoSFQYXdWG6dsQM2xQrERr-1joQZrb0 and extract.
Download update.zip and update_full_ALP-L29_hw_spcseas.zip (If you in fact did rebrand to C636?), rename update_full_ALP-L29_hw_spcseas.zip to update_all_hw.zip
Boot to TWRP and transfer update.zip, update_all_hw.zip, ALP_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img, FLASH_PIE_ALP.zip to root of Internal sdcard (/sdcard)
Easiest way imo would just be using adb push: "adb push update.zip /sdcard/" and so on for each file.
Flash FLASH_PIE_ALP.zip and wait, TWRP will reboot to stock NoCheck recovery and start Pie update.
Please do note that there is no root for EMUI9 yet, and downgrading back to Oreo requires you to factory reset.
Edit: Updated mega link

Thanks for replying, I've tried the step you said, but after the flash FLASH_PIE_ALP.zip, it still takes me back to TWRP by Pretoriano80, somehow it did not reboot to stock NoCheck recovery. Any suggestions?

Re-download https://mega.nz/#!sGwVXSZS!NzdnQSYfSZUrdoSFQYXdWG6dsQM2xQrERr-1joQZrb0
I uploaded a bad one first then updated link. But you probably downloaded it before I noticed.
FLASH_PIE_ALP.zip was bad, I forgot to save edits xD
Edit: and if not, make sure you place/push to /sdcard and not a folder on /sdcard, it's looking for the files in /sdcard/
