Please note that you need to be on a firmware released on or after 12th of April 2017. If it's before that date you'll fail at flashing Magisk.

And you should probably add a notice that this is for decryption.
If coming from SuperSU or PHH you'll have to flash back stock boot image before flashing.
If you're already decrypted there's no need to format data again.

If you want to stay encrypted, flash this instead: https://mega.nz/#!o4ESgABJ!DyUxQSKo8skyfv05sSuU7FjMmsyeckAO0KD_1dDIctw

I have tried several times flashing magisk with C185B181 and I gave up it fails hiding the root! Ante0 tried to help me but I gave up

Try flashing the module linked in OP, the Huawei fix. It seems to work for me. USB debugging is staying on, I just had to go to the service menu and enable logging again. After rebooting several times it's still passing

Before, after it became buggy for me again, I had to enable USB debugging after rebooting/using adb. And yesterday I had to enable logging to get it running.

Fix property script enable persist adb, that's the point to pass safetynet. I didn't enable logging and it passed as well.

It's working now thanks guys!!!!
Is it possible to install xposed too?

I got it running but the apps takes really long time to load and freeze a lot is this normal

Do you mean the magisk manager?
It shouldn't take long at all. Or it doesn't for me at least.

Fix property script enable persist adb, that's the point to pass safetynet. I didn't enable logging and it passed as well.

I think it's because usb debugging kept disabling for me.
Not sure why it would stop logging, I couldn't even get a logcat...

Oh well, it works now!
By the way, did you make the module? if so you should post it in the Magisk section of XDA. More people are having trouble with Magisk on other Huawei devices (P10, P9, Honor etc.) , and it might help them too.

Yes, I made the module and already post in Magisk 13.6 thread. I don't want to open a new thread in Magisk.
Because I don't have other devices to test if they fail on SafetyNet test.

Use twrp, and restore stock B181 boot image first.

Just tested on MHA-L09C185B180 with Magisk v14.
Working perfectly fine

Followed the post as instructed and it works just fine! Installed Magisk on my Mate 9 MHA-L29C567B190. Cheers!!

Hey guys, can I install xposed using magisk without safetynet getting tripped?

 

[herb9876]

Confirmed Mate 9 Pro is working

for those who are interested I followed the instructions to a t however substituted and used update_data_public.zip & update_all_hw.zip files from MATE 9 PRO Firmware LON-L29C636B229.

I also used twrp-3.1.0-1-hi3660 which may be the same but i found mine on a mate 9 pro thread.

It was actually seamless installation and ive had my mate 9 pro rooted with supersu before but never magisk because I couldn't quite get it working but this method worked perfectly.

Like I said I just followed instructions but substituted those two .zip files and used all other files in the instructions.

I will attach a couple screen shots if I can figure out how on here. Man this thing is snappy as Ive ever seen it.... great job on the directions and this thread.... I have seen no lag as far as the magisk apk its all very very fast with no hiccups so far.

Nope.

 

[herb9876]

Also seems to work on my P10 Plus

Maybe this is old news I just thought id share it in case no one has tested it yet.

model is VKY-L29 and i just substituted those two firmware finder files from B162 of the p10 plus fw

also i used a different twrp obviously but this method has my recent huawei devices running magisk for the first time at least for me its great thing ive never been able to figure out how to do it until this method. thanks
