[Guide] Mate 20 X root is here

Welcome to the suck. I'm fairly blind as well with Huawei rooting method. Things are much easier on the OnePlus side of the house haha. I too am having issues.
I was bootloader unlocked and it worked using the HStool method. It shows that it was locked after update but I assume it can still be unlocked.
I don't know if you can keep root or reroot however.
@Rudolpht I noticed after upgrading to EMUI 9.1 .310 I too seem to have lost bootloader unlocked. I say that because when I power cycle the device I no longer get the boot up warning message.
However, in about phone dev options I see my "enable oem unlock" is still turned on.
Strange.
Have you attempted to re-unlock your bootloader?
For those looking for a Patched Recovery Ramdisk for EVR-L29 on EMUI 9.1 .310 attached is an updated file to use. I did not create this. Ashish created it. Credit to him for being kind and making it for us to use.
Here is link for download *edited* still testing
After flashing you'll need to download magisk canary.
And also follow directions here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/fix-messages-dialer-9-1-root-required-t3955964

Very cool, thanks.
Now just need to track one for AL-00.
If it is as simple as patching the recovery_ramdisk, then I can manage that.
Thank you.

I have no idea. I made a thread about it in the Q&A and in the telegram, then this guy replied with the L29 version for .310
Yes just create patched recovery ramdisk using magisk andbstock recovery. it will work.
Wow. Great. Can you post a 135 or any semi-recent variant patched recovery ram disk.
That would be GREAT!!!!!!

Please look the Q&A and Guides subforums. It is discussed often.

huawei phones cannot be unlocked anymore, bootloader unlock codes are not provided by huawei or anyone else. and without BL unlock, root is also out of the question...

it is for the Mate 20 X BEFORE Huawei decided not to provide BL unlock codes anymore. IIRC the cut off date was around May this year...

42Thanks to @topjohnwu, magisk canary builds officially support emui 9, albeit with some caveats.
Note:
This root requires replacing stock recovery with patched magisk init, which will then boot system with magisk support. This means that currently, TWRP or stock recovery and magisk can't exist simultaneously. Also, in order to boot with root, you will NEED to hold down VOLUME UP as the phone is rebooting or booting until the "device is booting" text is displayed. This tells the phone to boot into recovery, which is taken over by magisk init and booted into system with root. Failure to do this will result in the phone booting WITHOUT root or magisk.
I've gone ahead and patched the recovery_ramdisk for EVR-AL00 and EVR-L29.
What is needed:
ADB/fastboot
A computer
A bit of know-how
Step 1: You MUST be bootloader unlocked
-Start by downloading the relevant recovery ramdisk for your variant the AND magisk manager below
Step 2:
-Install the magisk manager
Step 3:
-Copy the recovery ramdisk to a folder with fastboot. Those with environment set up for adb/fastboot can ignore this step.
Step 4:
-Reboot your device to the bootloader. This is accomplished easiest with the adb reboot bootloader command. If you would like to gracefully put the device in bootloader mode, simply power off the device, remove all USB cables from it, but make sure one is plugged into your PC. Once the device is fully powered off, hold down the volume-DOWN key and then press and hold the power button and IMMEDIATELY plug the USB-C cable into the phone.
Step 5:
-Once the device is in bootloader and connected to the PC, run the command "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdiskMagiskVARIANT" with VARIANT being whatever ramdisk you downloaded. For example with AL00 you would input "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdiskMagiskAL00.img"
Step 6:
-Run the command "fastboot reboot" and immediately disconnect the USB-C cable from the phone. At this point you will want to hold down VOLUME-UP until the "device is booting" message is displayed.
Step 7:
-Once the system is booted, open magisk manager and profit.

Yeah you can. Just flash back the stock Ramdisk, take the update, then flash the magisk Ramdisk again.
Sent from my EVR-AL00 using Tapatalk4Huawei officially stopped giving out bootloader unlocking codes. Period. Full stop. The only way the dubious sites like funky monkey and other rip off sites are getting the codes for you are through some of the greedy Huawei employees who have access to the phone services to provide the codes. These people join with the other rip-off sites like funky to send you the codes. They are expensive, because people rushing to unlock and willing to pay any money. Part of the mponey goes to the leaking employee and part to the rip-off sites.
It was not like this before. XDA initially was a dedicated community on giving tutorials and contributions towards making the best of our phones. But with more companies blocking bootloader unlocking, everyone started to become greedy. We already paid so much for this Mate 20X and still willing to pay to get the unlocking codes to rip off sites?
Even after rooting, there is no proper support for this phone with other apps because of the locked bootloader limitations. Developers can't freely experiment and tinker with this phone because the codes were expensive once, and now there are no more codes, possibly because the employees concerned were fired and these rip-off sites are unable to get the codes from them.
Even custom roms do not have support for this device, or at least fully working ones, because of this.
When will you guys learn? Wake up. Don't fall prey to the scams. Don't pay just because you can and promote this new trend.
The only lesson I learnt is to do research next time BEFORE buying a phone and make sure that bootloader unlocking is supported by the company.
As for me, I already bought this and the only reason I wanted to root is because of removing phone-wide ads. Right now, I am okay with DNS66 which does not require root. It works well, though I need to restart the service manually Otherwise this phone is perfect, and I can always have official OTA updates without breaking anything.3Thank you freeza!
I saw you didn't have a link to the patched L29 so I patched mine and everything is perfect.
If anybody wants to use it or if you want to link it on the OT, it's fine.
Patched Recovery Ramdisk EVR-L293
Just flash back the stock ramdisk through ADB and you're good to go.
