[Guide] Mate 10 Magisk Root

[mankindtw]

Steps:

• Prepare and Notice
  A. Warning! Flash phone might get it bricked. I am not responsible for it.
  B. Important! Remove Huawei "HiSuite" application if it's already installed. It may interfere script running.
  C. Only tested ALP-AL00C00 same brand upgrade and downgrade packages.
  D. Backup data, it might be restore factory default setting especially using downgrade ROM version.
  E. Update package will be put in the internal /data partition.
  F. Unlock bootloader before flash steps, use unlock.bat in "HWOTA8_Mate10" lock directory.
  G. After update successfully, device might be locked again.
  H. Get HWOTA8_Mate10 Package (HWOTA8_Mate10_2018052301_Remove_ota_rebrand.zip)
  I. Windows10 can't recognize mate 10 fastboot device, see dc-unlocker free registry patch to fix it. (Link)
  J. Mate 10 has imei in oeminfo, which is used for unlock bootloder not for system. Run lock/info.bat to see oeminfo IMEI.

• Magisk (Thanks to @topjohnwu)
  A. Install Magisk by running magisk/magisk.bat and follow instructions.
  B. Install Huawei Wifi Fix module (Huawei-Wifi-Fix_v1.0_1500_2018041201.zip), if wifi is not working. [Not Must]
  C. Join or dig more information from Magisk forum.

I'm going to try rebrand.

Its for the first time ever i am unable to unlock the boot loader, i obtained the boot loader unlock code by the following method for my mate 10. Don't know whats went wrong , when i try to unlock the boot loader in fastboot its giving an error. anyone can guide me on this?

Edit: I logout the Huawei Id and also set the usb debugging to Manufacture Mode by using *#*#2846579#*#* and then tried to unlock the boot loader and it worked as a charm.

Best of luck then.

I have tried the above method and after replace kernel and replace recovery successful i am still unable to boot in twrp mode by using volume + and button mode. Instead of Twrp i get a screen "reboot system, wipe data / factory , wipe cache"

There is no TWRP at this moment, I modified stock recovery which can accept adb command.
Your screen is already in "Recovery" and follow message instructions for the next step.

Don't use OTA-MF, you should use FullOTA-MF zips.

 

[k4fari]

Don't use OTA-MF, you should use FullOTA-MF zips.
