[Guide] Mate 20 X root is here

[CCJ22]

ajsmsg78 is king on these types of issues, but my understanding on Mate 20x (which has some less clean ways to address recovery):
1) erecovery ramdisk is the methodology to use TWRP
2) recovery ramdisk is what is what has been pushed for stock or patched images to allow root.

I can get recovery_ramdisk, but see no boot.img in the extractor to patch. I know I'm missing the basics 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.

Adding to all the questions above.
Does anyone know if we can root 9.1 EMUI .310 using the method in the OP if we are bootloader unlocked?

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.

Does anyone have a recovery_ramdiskMagiskL29.img for the L29 & EMUI 9.1?

@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

Hi. I just bought a Huawei Mate 20 X EVR-L29 and I would like to root it. Is there a tutorial to unlock the bootloader? I don't know very well how to do it ..
Is it unlocked by executing step 1 of your post?

Thanks in advance.

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...
