Hi everyone. I have android 9.1.0.132. Trying to root with magisk via twrp, but not working. Anyone did root EMUI 9?
You need to patch your recovery ramdisk image. backup image with twrp or fastboot, patch with magisk manager and flash as recovery (same way you'd flash twrp)
You then need to boot your phone every time via recovery. It'll boot into android as normal but with root.
I don't know how to backup image with fastboot. Im twrp pretoriano80 don't know whitch partition backup. Please some insruction
you need to be bootloader unlocked
here are magisk patched recovery from 9.1.0.134 emui 9 version
next, you need in fastboot "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched.img" flash it (hope you know how to flash img ??)
then, you need fastboot reboot, remuve usb
this is critical, when you see:
""your device unlocked and cant be trusted
1 pres power to boot
2 pres volume up 3 sec to boot in erecovery
3 dont do anything ... """
when you see this, pres and hold volume up and power button till phone reboot and you see different warning, then relase buttons and wait till phone boots in system
next, instal magisk manager, find in google!
Great dude, awesome, it's working. Sometimes recovery must be flashed again (don't know why is happens). After next restart must flash it again or will be working each time?
THANKS!!!!!!!

When restarting your phone, make sure you press volume up + power, to boot in recovery. That way you should not have to flash again. If however, you forget to press this combo, your recovery get's replaced with the stock and you'll have to flash it again.

i was thinking that when we use your guide then we do not have twrp installed if we need the stock recovery_ramdisk patched.. so use the erecovery_ramdisk for twrp, also its easyer to enter .. its just to hold the vol+ for 3 sek ... and bum your in twrp..
it works tested it...
ps.
fastboot will not let us flash erecovery_ramdisk so before replacing recovery_ramdisk use twrp to flash the twrp into erecovery_ramdisk ..
then replace recovery_ramdisk with patched img
@brokenworm: could you please explain your ps? I am not really a newbie, but I have no glue, what you talking about?!

Answer is simple ... First fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP.img .... then enter recovery..
Now from Twrp recovery flash TWRP.img into Erecovery_ramdisk... Now flash the magisk patched recovery_ramdisk either with fastboot or from twrp before exiting into partition recovery_ramdisk.
Erecovery_ramdisk can only be flashed like that becoes fastboot blocks it.
The solution for still having twrp in 9.1 emui roms... Also editing vendor give us the solution to backup and restore a complete nandroid backup. AND this way you do not need to hold a button every time you restart .. from twrp you only need to push reboot recovery to enter the rom ONCE ! AND it will stick .. only "bug" is your phone can not poweroff .. actually good if it gets stolen..
Look here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...w-to-remove-data-encryption-emui-9-1-t3953946
Recovery_ramdisk = vol+ & power.
Erecovery_ramdisk = vol+
Bootloader = vol- & power
This way we dont need to hold a button when rebooting....... twrp fixes that automaticly .. you need to boot in to rom from twrp placed in erecovery_ramdisk by selecting "reboot recovery" instead of "reboot system"... Then it will boot correctly everytime.
And you only have to do this one time.
I have not try but thanks
Hi!
I own an ANE-LX1 device with EMUI9.1
I did everything exactly as described in this or in other threads but I am still unable to root
Just to quickly summarize:
1. my bootloader is unlocked
2. using Magisk app I patched the stock recovery image (recovery_ramdis.img)
3. using fastboot I flashed the patched image
4. now the next step is pretty much unclear for me: reboot the system to what target? all XDA threads (including this one) description at this point sucks! sorry for bad words but this is true
5. anyway tried to reboot to the recovery - this is not possible - I only see exactly the below messages, no matter how long I wait:
Code:
Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.
To learn more visit:
http://zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore
Your device is booting now...
Tried any possible combination, like disconnect USB cable, keep USB cable, reboot normally, reboot to eRecovery, no matter which one, the result is:
When I check in the Magisk manager app, itt tells: Magisk is not installed.
So please anybody who has successfully rooted, can u make a video showing the whole rooting process, but especially with the step after fastboot flash, i.e. how exactly to reboot, what buttons to press/hold up to the state where the Magisk Manager app shows: Rooted.
I am able to pay for the video! Seriously!!!
PS:
Besides all the description and tutorial it is not clear for me, why should be the system rooted, when we patch only the recovery_ramdisk image/partition. It somehow makes no sense.
I need root for my running EMUI system, and not for the recovery.
Thanks and regards,
Ladislav

What do you exactly mean by

Can u pls explain it step by step?
What and how did you do after fastboot flash?
Also see my previous comment...
I have rooted my P20 lite with the steps from this thread. Today my phone notified my that there was a firmware update (from 9.1.0.200 to 9.1.0.208). But I'm stuck in the update process. I can not boot to a recovery to update. Can anyone get me some advice?

With Huawei HiSuite program and the device's fastboot mode you can restore the device.
Once u successfully restored it, can u pls make a video where you show, how did you root your phone and shar it with me?

Before update you need in fastboot flash original recovery, because magisk patched recovery are booting in system with root acces, so you can't update phone while it are rooted

Hei!
Your phone are bootloader locked or unlocked ?
If you have not bootloader code, aka unlocked bootloader, you can't root phone, because we need patch ramdisk.img with magisk manager and flash it in fastboot using fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magiskpatchedramdiak.img

when will be next phone software update i will create video, how i update it, how i root, etc. works for you.?
its like ~40 days, i hope update will come sooner than that!!
Da hell, i can try it now , will flash original, then pach it with magisk ,and then, wait video!
lol, 10 min 1gb video file, i will edit it litle bit, convert etc...
okey. Video redy.
Before you patsch recovery_ramdisk with magisk manager, use thease setings, see picture here : Picture, lol
Chek all 3 boxes in advanced setings! then patch recovery_ramdis.img
video here : youtube (not the best quality, sorry, did it in fast)
my files here : magisk_patched.img for root, RECOVERY_RAMDIS208.img original, to update phone, app-release.apk magisk manager i used
Oh, and buttons i presed after fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched.img is volume up and power!
But, there are BUT, if you previous played with root, and did some strange things, your phone can stuck in huawei logo, if thats happens, you need to restore original software with dload method!!

I did exactly what you did in video, but I still can't properly reboot.
When I press Volume Up + Power after flash, the device reboots and stucks at the screen after Huawei logo and I see only the well known:
Code:
Your device is booting now...
message but it never starts the system, at least I did wait 10 minutes and nothing happened, while on your video after reboot with key combination your phone booted into normal system after cca. 1 minute.
I'll try to reflash the whole system via dload method and try again from beginning.
OK, so finally I also was able to root my ANE-LX1.
But it worked only after I reflashed the whole system via dload method.
Many thanks, @Arnys for the tips!

Hey guys,
I've had a total of 4 android smartphones during the last years, and I did root all of them and even install diferent ROM's, but on this phone (Honor 7) was kinda diferent.
The root process is way more complex than all the other androids I did root (simply flash a .zip file...) so I've been post-poning this task over and over..
Finally yesterday I gained courage to try out rooting my phone, and while attempting to root my Honor 7, after flashing SuperSU from TWRP, my phone no longer booted.
Stressed as I was, I just told to myself "f*ck it" and formatted the system and I didn't care much if there was a fix without needing to format the system. (but then I realised that I could not find any .img ROM files to flash from TWRP recovery, so basically I did my actions wrong once again)
I followed the tutorial from guidebeats.com which talks about rooting EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0 (I cant post links)
Basically this is the story:
While unlocking the bootloader, even though, the tutorial said the phone would reboot itself after typing "flashboot oem unlock 1234934829" I did a hard reboot (or reset?) holding (VOL+) + Power button and I have the feeling that the bootloader unlock was not 100% done, even if it said it was unlocked. (Phone was working perfectly fine there)
Then I flashed SuperSU, and I could no longer boot. After powering up my phone, after the first splashscreen, the screen would only turn black.
What (I think) I need to now is remove the TWRP recovery, and use the stock one and attempt to install an "update" using (Vol+) + (Vol-) + Power. (please correct me if I'm wrong)
But now there's some issues I got that I'd like some help with:
1- How can I get back to the stock recovery? (NOTE: I currently got no OS installed on my Honor 7, since I formated it)
2- Will I need to lock and unlock my bootloader again (if I want to 'fix' the bootloader unlock?)
3- Where can I get official Honor 7 stock ROM? (would be awesome if there was already the Android 6 stock rom for a clean install)
4- What are the steps on this tool (Honor 7 Multi-Tool) to root my phone?
I need my Honor 7 asap
Sorry for the long post, It's my first time doing a more advanced root and I have all these questions.
Thank you very much for any kind help!

As you are already familiar with adb and other stuff so will write a short post for you.
To download latest firmware, head to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...tock-firmware-packages-honor-7-t3448747/page1
Google, download and install Huawei update extractor and open UPDATE.APP in it (obtained after extracting firmware).
You can see all the images. Just extract recovery and boot to platform-tools folder.
Meantime, do the unlocking command again, with
Fastboot OEM unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Followed by fastboot reboot
And press and hold the vol down button again until you reboot in bootloader.
Flash the recovery and boot you extracted using
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
(I got a habit of extracting and flashing system and Cust using
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash Cust Cust.img
But they are not necessary)
Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again).
Please do report back if it comes to life.
To root, just flash twrp and then use SuperSU 2.62 (no other version) and update it later using play store.

Hey!
Thank you alot for your reply.
From the link you sent about the firmwares, there are alot of Builds for the L01 (EU) model. Can I simply use the latest from the list or I gotta install 1 by 1 (from older to newer)?
Also, the bootloader unlock thing, is it ok if I wait to do it until I install the stock ROM again? Because I think I don't have the code anymore (Also don't know about IMEI)
Other thing, yesterday before bricking my phone, I tried to re-unlock the bootloader as you said above, but it didnt let me because "it was already unlocked".
I really have no idea if it's 100% unlocked or not.
important thing!
With those ROM's, I still have the right to receive official OTA updates from the HiCare app right?
Thank you again

Just use B380 as it's the latest full firmware available there.
Unlocking bootloader again was just a precautionary measure (proceed without it and if it is not 100% unlocked and if something goes wrong, we can troubleshoot later, which imo, won't happen)
And yep, if you keep the firmware as it is, but if you flash twrp and root, you will still see the update available in Hicare but will have to install stock recovery again before upgrading. (Nothing else is needed as SuperSU 2.62 gives a systemless root so you only need to flash back stock recovery for an update)
I am not against honor-tool bit it's best to do things manually as it makes you learn stuff and is easy to troubleshoot if something is amiss.

Alright, btw, about the thing you said
"Now you are set to try a 3 button update (sometimes it gets stuck so if it's stuck for 15 minutes, try 3 button again)."
I gotta do that myself with an "update.app" file or what?
Sorry, I missed that part

You have to make a dload folder in SD card and copy UPDATE.APP to that folder.
Then just turn off the phone, press and hold power + vol up + vol down until phone boots.
Let go of power but keep others two pressed for 5, 6 sec more. Your phone will boot into recovery and start installing UPDATE.APP
It likes to get stuck at 5% (most reports) but sometimes, somewhere else. If its stuck for 15 minutes on a particular percentage, just press and hold the above three buttons again using the same process.
Multiple tries make it work...

Hello
How did you format your phone?
I'm still struggling with going back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 since there is no rollback file available. (PLK-AL10, B396) Maybe formatting and installing the old rom could be a solution, like in your case?

Hello.
Do you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery? You can format your phone from TWRP recovery.
I think the only option for you is to get the old ROM img and flash it (starting from 0)
You can dirty-flash (Flash a different ROM with same android version as yours, e.g: flashing custom android 5 ROM over your stock android 5 ROM without factory resetting your phone) but I dont think you can do that from Android 6 to 5.

Yes I have unlocked bootloader and currently not twrp but I can flash it at any time.
The last two paragraphs you wrote are different solutions or the last one is a more detailed explanation of the previous?
I have android 6 so the later method won't work as you said.
But formatting it and flashing a stock android 5 rom - is it that simple? Nobody here suggested this before, however I have been asking for months.
All the phones are empty when they leave the assembly line.
How did you flash the new rom to your formatted phone? Extracted update.app and flashed each file with fastboot? Any issues you faced?

From my last 2 paragraphs, the first was a solution, the second was an impossible alternative that I thought it would work.
My issue was that I had a custom recovery but I had no ROM installed, so I had to install the stock recovery and boot (extracting from update.app) and flashing it via fastboot, to afterwards force the update with 3-button method.
-----
What you'll need to do is:
- Flash TWRP
- Wype system, data, cache.. (so that you completely delete your current ROM)
- Extract recovery.img and boot.img from an update.app of an Android 5 ROM you'd like to have (Official ROM for your device model)
- Flash them via fastboot (You'll go back to stock recovery again)
- Shutdown your device
- Create a folder named "dload" on your sdcard and put UPDATE.APP file in it.
- Reboot
- Do the 3-Button update ([Vol+] + [Vol-] + Power)
- If it works, it will auto install
(- If it gets stuck on 5% for over 5/10min, force reboot pressing [Vol+] + Power) and try again the installation
- After installing it will boot normally (first boot takes a while)
NOTE: I'd recommend creading the dload folder before wiping the ROM, because usb didnt work for me afterwards. (It would still work if I was on recovery tho)
>> Remember to make a full system backup before wiping aswell, dont be stupid like me xD (thats why I had to full wipe my system after soft-brick)
Im answering based on what I did and was explained here to me

From my last 2 paragraphs, the first was a solution, the second was an impossible alternative that I thought it would work.
My issue was that I had a custom recovery but I had no ROM installed, so I had to install the stock recovery and boot (extracting from update.app) and flashing it via fastboot, to afterwards force the update with 3-button method.
-----
What you'll need to do is:
- Flash TWRP
- Wype system, data, cache.. (so that you completely delete your current ROM)
- Extract recovery.img and boot.img from an update.app of an Android 5 ROM you'd like to have (Official ROM for your device model)
- Flash them via fastboot (You'll go back to stock recovery again)
- Shutdown your device
- Create a folder named "dload" on your sdcard and put UPDATE.APP file in it.
- Reboot
- Do the 3-Button update ([Vol+] + [Vol-] + Power)
- If it works, it will auto install
(- If it gets stuck on 5% for over 5/10min, force reboot pressing [Vol+] + Power) and try again the installation
- After installing it will boot normally (first boot takes a while)

Hi again,
I'm doing this OS installation now. It starts fine but stucks at 90%, (I'm trying to install the latest stock ROM which can be downloaded from Huawei site, B220 or221). Did you have the same issue? I waited more than half an hour at 90% but did not go on.

Hello
How did you format your phone?
I'm still struggling with going back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 since there is no rollback file available. (PLK-AL10, B396) Maybe formatting and installing the old rom could be a solution, like in your case?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe formatting, Flash stock Android 5 recovery using Honor multitool , and then Flash a Android 5 firmware
Not sure it Will Work without rollback..
Finally, after 2 months of struggling I managed to get back to Android 5 and EMUI 3.1 without a rollback file.
Here is what I did:
0. Download a full ROM you want to install
1. Backup of the current system with Hisuite (everything. Apps, media, contacts, call log, etc.)
2. Flash TWRP recovery with fastboot (start phone in fastboot mode)
3. Wipe (and format!) everything you can with TWRP
4. Extract boot.img and recovery.img from update.app of the new ROM with Huawei Update Extractor
5. Flash boot.img and recovery.img with fastboot.
6. Copy update app to dload folder on SD card, insert into the phone.
7. Restart phone with [VOL+] + [VOL-] + [Power] buttons to force update.
8. The system will be installed from SD card. I had no issues with the installation. First I did not format the phone (just wiped) and it did not work.
9. Restore data from backup.
The only strange thing is that the native app icons look different than my previous lollipop system. Don't know why. They are less colorful. I installed C00B220 for PLK-AL10.

Yes it does. (It did for me.) Technically this is not a rollback but installing a brand new system on an empty phone. That's why it is important to do a backup upfront.

Thanks for the answer. Im gonna try this method. I can't reflash any region rom.
Updated for more serious reference. Hope this info helps you!
Procedure:
Once you have updated to Nougat, you would have to unlock your bootloader
The APK that unlock the bootloader works (Even though is marked as M version). (Remember that this will wipe your device!) For ULBL -> Version UnlockTool_2017_0803(android M) (FROM ASUS) https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Zoom-ZE553KL/HelpDesk_Download/
Zenfone will reboot and you will able to see a new splash screen that informs you that your device is unlocked giving you boot options Don't press anything. (You will see this everytime you reboot). The next screen will show an erase process. Phone will reboot.
Once booted enable developer options and adb via usb.
You can find TWRP builds right here: https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w (Special thanks to: @shakalaca) Use the latest one.
Go to fastboot mode and install TWRP. (fastboot flash recovery (nameoffile).img)
Let fastboot do it's magic, once you finish press volume buttons till you find reboot recovery press power button to select. It will boot again to the first splash. Do not press anything, let it work. It will boot TWRP in a whistle.
Once in TWRP make a backup. You know it's necessary, and will save your ass in case of a softbrick.
Flash latest magisk (Current Ver: 13.3) Magisk thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Reboot, check drawer for magisk manager, magisk and root should be enabled.
Voila. Safetynet test passed :good:
what version was twrp are you using and what steps did you take to get magisk to work.
smariob said:
So today finally I got my Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom. I couldn't contain myself to start playing with it.
My very first surprise was that the phone requested for an update. I've done it. I ended with a stock 7.1.1 AZ3Z.
This is my experience:
The APK that let you unlock bootloader works. (Remember that this will wipe your device)
After auto reboot I cheched safetynet. At this point test failed (Little bit obvious)
I was able to go to fastboot mode and install TWRP (The same you can find right here at the forum)
Let fastboot do it's magic, press volume buttons till you find reboot recovery. It will boot TWRP in a whistle.
Once in TWRP I made a backup. You know if necessary.
The next step was a crossfinger procedure. Just flashed latest magisk Beta (13)
Reboted checked for magisk manager on drawer.
It was there and root also. Enabled magiskhide, and voila. Safetynet test passed :good:
Hope this Info help you.

Just a question as I'm having difficulty booting into TWRP.
My device is unlocked and when flashing TWRP using the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and trying to boot into it nothing happens other than my device going into the bootloader. I have tried flashing both the most recent TWRP 3.1.1 and 3.1.0 yet I keep on coming to the same problem. Can anyone provide help? thanks in advance.

Everytime you reboot the pone starts into boot loader. It has a countdown to boot into whatever is commanded.
Once you flashed succesfully the recovery img you just have to select option to boot recovery with vol keys and power.
Phone will reboot into bootloader agin let it boot on contdown (don't press any key)
Then it will boot into twrp.
Hello, on nougat i am trying to install the twrp, I downloaded the official bootloader release program (after installing the message "unlocked device") but trying to install the twrp via fastboot me by an error message. ... but I think the problem is the unlocking of the bootloader (if I turn the ze553kl in fastboot mode I see my device is "locked") ... there is another version of the bootloader release software? The one available on asus site would look for android M ... maybe there is one for Nougat? Thanxs
Wop. I used the M version apk on Nougat. It worked with no issues, the unlock of boot loader is successful when all the content of your smartphone is wiped.
For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg77b8o8Jk4 Min 1:29
Thank you! But running the software, does not run any wipe, it only displays an "unlocked" message without having to restart anything else. I also tried to make a "factory reset" and repeat lab process but the result does not change ...

If you follow that link and flash the recommended version, TWRP might load upside down and mirrored, impossible to use. I flashed the latest version from the MEGA link (3.1.1) and it was back to normal. Just a head's up for future reference, you might want to update your post.

Updated, never had mirror issues but is always better to have latest recovery.
Edit. Jimbo, I got an anwer from the source it notes: "please use 'fastboot flash recovery' instead of 'fastboot boot' to avoid up side down screen"
I've also tried installing from scratch with Asus flash tool, but I still can not unlock bootloader ... Anyone know if there is also an unofficial method for unlocking the bootloader?
@bizzino what model of Z3Z are you using?
Maybe Unlock bootloader app is intended for specific models... Let me do a little bit of research

Hi! I was trying to root Nokia 1
I flash TWRP through fastboot and it worked! But the problem was I was unable to see my files there.I think because of encryption..
So, I accidentally factory reset my phone through TWRP and then, I was unable to boot into system again..
I was stuck in TWRP
So, I go to fastboot and flash stock_recovery.IMG and after that when I reboot. I am seeing a black screen. I can feel vibration when press home key or home + volume up/down. but screen is black
Please help...

Use micro SD card for twrp. You can't remove encryption just by factory reset. I know how to remove encryption on Nougat but that method doesn't work on Oreo. When you flashed TWRP flash SuperSU (not Magisk) then boot to system, after that boot to twrp recovery again and wipe factory reset and wipe internal storage. You have removed encryption. SuperSU needs to be updated to patch plat and non play file contexts to remove encryption on Oreo. Or someone can make flashable zip to remove encryption.
First find nb0 file for Nokia 1 and try to flash rom with OST.

Same here. Seems that the decryption does not work. Better make sure your phone is not encrypted before messing with twrp (3.2.3).
Be careful
Some Nokia 1 are a TA 1060 variant number and if you flash the wrong file you are going to have further problems.
The process to root and get TWRP on the nokias Is complicated enough without everyone suggesting wrong model variants / numbers.
I guarantee someone will download the wrong file for the wrong model and come here crying.
is this the real firmware?

hi, i needed to know if this is the real one, they show it's mt6735 instead mt6737m, I've already downloaded a file with the similar name nd it has scatter file of mt6735, that's while in the sp flash tool,i don't see all of the partitions being detected to flash
Hey i am facing the same issue but i didn't flash any other recovery mode my phone Nokia 1 TA-1056 am getting black screen and only feel the vibration when i press power key and when i put my phone on charging then its shows the display and boot into recovery mode directly can anyone help me how i can overcome this issue
Hey guys,
I already soft bricked my device (I think) -.- I rooted it with the patched boot image and accidently installed a magisk module which caused a boot loop.
I booted into TWRP and didn't read that for now we can't mount the important partitions, so there went that. I rebooted to stock recovery and erased my complete device (factory reset + userdata) and now it bootloops into the bootloader.
Can't boot stock recovery or ROM.
Is there any chance to recover it with the current tools we have or do I have to wait for a fully working TWRP?
Any tip is appreciated

Thanks for the hint, but no chance. After flashing the recovery and reboot, the 7t pro always reboots to bootloader :-\
Edit: Could switch the boot slot and was able to enter recovery. Tried the modified one with adb function, but sideloading a rom is not possible adb: sideload connection failed: closed

Try this:
- Reboot to bootloader (If not possible, hold "Volume Down" & "Powerbutton" to boot into recovery, from there select "Boot Fastboot")
- Open CMD and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (I attached the 7tPro AA Boot.img)
##EDIT##: Well, unfortunately I'm not allowed to post extern links, so you have 2. options. Somewhere here in the Opt7tPro threads, some guy posted a link where he uploaded the stock boot image. Should be found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/7t-pro/help/rooting-oneplus-7t-pro-t3983533/page2 (scroll down ). Option 2, you downlaod the 7T OTA from OP website and extract the payload.bin with the programm "payload_dumper-win64". This will extract a more or less working boot image..
Your phone should then be able to boot normally again.
If it does, you will probably find out, that your WiFi, Speakers & Camera won't work.
Don't worry, this is because you maybe need the BA boot.img.
Then there are to options.
1. You wait until OP releases the original files on their website, as they did with the 7t
2. You go to "Settings", "System" & "Factory Reset", to reset your phone. (By now, this is the only way to fix the problem, so you can use the patched boot again)
If you choose option 2, after the "installation" screen, where it asks to enter your language, you must boot your phone into fastboot again.
Then you can flash the patched boot image again and your phone should work as normal
I was on same situation, i planned to root, but not found really 7T PRO rom, 7T ot 7 PRO has totally different ROMs, so i made a big mistake, to flash different rom. Phone stuck in boot loop. After 1.5 day google searching, i found one, that can bring back phone to live. I found a fresh 7T PRO rom, and simply flashed back, it booted, and finally everything's works good. Must to download fresh factory rom: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261606254, unzip it to any folder, start your phone in fastboot mode, plug in usb cable, (other eng plug to PC) and then simply do double click at the unzipped folder to flash all.bat file. You will get some errors, it's totally normal. Within 4-5 minutes your phone will works again. Hope it will work at you.
You, my fellow xda guys, are amazing!!! The solution with the stock boot.img helped me out!
Now I can start using my 7t pro after 3 days ^^

Hey dude try this way out...
- Download Magisk manager apk. , patched recovery_ramdisk and TWRP for 9.1:
https://mega.nz/#!ohkgwSzb!xD32btG_3Sax-V7bn6xbWR5fH0crPrry06cCxusf5Hg
https://mega.nz/#!tkcTlATI!A8UJGPBGtxJbLcUOJoxCGJj5PFZXzCnjbb3OkwqKTP8
https://mega.nz/#!xkd2ibKY!JCLNMNKRI1e0FI1bJ4YI5Lr9Hdg9eo4A9kv0MhxgIdA
Copy TWRP and patched recovery_ramdisk to SD Card, install Magisk manager apk.
- Install TWRP over eRecovery: flash downloaded TWRP 9.1 from fastboot, boot in TWRP, select storage - SD Card, select "Install image". Find TWRP-9.1.img file , mark eRecovery and confirm. Reboot system.
- When the yellow unlocked phone warning appears, press and hold Volume Up , phone will boot into TWRP.
- Select Install image, find Recovery_ramdisk-patch.img , mark Recovery, confirm.
- Go back to the main TWRP's menu > Reboot > Reboot recovery. Phone will reboot via Recovery , but not into Recovery mode. Now every time you want to boot phone with root access must hold volume up and power at the beginning . if you boot phone normaly (not thro recovery comand) your phone will not be rooted!
Now you have a rooted phone with TWRP on board.
Ok thanks, isn't it possible to workaround the volume up stuff? How do I boot twrp after I finished? Vol+ and power button or vol+ and cable? To my understanding, this boots two different recoveries?? Why is it so complicated lol

Is your patched_ramdisk "universal" ? I meant will it work on phone with different cust (mine is c55, most have c432 and maybe with different emui version? Where did you get it?)
- it is just an alternative, the method with patched recovery_ramdisk and fastboot should also work. Maybe you're doing something wrong.
- It is complicated due to emui 9.1, the ramdisk partition no longer exists. As a workaround, Magisk will be installed to the recovery_ramdisk partition.
- AFAIK partitions Recovery and eRecovery are the same for all build numbers and regions (we are talking about ANE- models and EMUI 9.1), so it should work.
- "How do I boot twrp after I finished?" - read carefully please: " Reboot system. When the yellow unlocked phone warning appears, press and hold Volume Up , phone will boot into TWRP."
P.S.: I never try to convince anyone of anything, it's your choice .
If you do not understand something here, than the tutorial might not be suitable for you.
There are plenty of guides on how to do these things. GL!

I tried the following:
Booting into TWRP, getting recovery_ramdisk with dd, patching image with manager, boot into twrp, flash new recovery_ramdisk with dd, reboot.
Getting recovery_ramdisk from official update, patching etc.
Flashing official Magisk v21.1 with zip. The new image is flashed because the second time it will say "magisk patched image detected" (even if i reboot into twrp again), but still no root.
Sincerely I do not understand what I'm doing wrong. I know myself it should be easy.
I understand the tutorial (and thank you for it, you are a very kind person) I just don't understand why huawei made things so unnecesarely complicated. How does the phone boot without a ramdisk? Is "normal" ramdisk included in the kernel partition or in the recovery_ramdisk partition? Ok I get it, if there is no ramdisk the phone boots directly from the system on root partition, so magisk should mod that partition but it can't because it defeats the purpose of "systemless". Right?
There are plenty of guides, yeah, but everyone says the same thing (magisk zip or patched ramdisk) and people just say it works... but in my case it just... doesn't
Will try to follow your guide to the letter... Thank you again...
Ramdisk is included in the recovery_ramdisk, that's why Magisk will be installed to the recovery_ramdisk partition. Read carefully bro
Note: if you want use TWRP on rooted EMUI 9.1, you MUST install TWRP over eRecovery.

I tried the following:
Flashing official Magisk v21.1 with zip.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try with lower version , v20.0 or v20.4
Ok, thank you for your tips. I will update you once I have time to spend on this.
