To have root on EMUI 9.1 we need https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603907556
and ADB on the computer.

1. connect the phone to the computer, turn on the USB debugging mode
2. In ADB: "adb reboot bootloader"
The phone will go off in fastboot mode.
The downloaded file is loaded with a command: "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdiskMagiskAL00-b7f69238.img
5. We're rebooting with a command: "fastboot reboot, quickly disconnect the phone and hold the VOL+ at the same time (all the time from the restart)
The phone will enter the eRecovery mode and we normally click "Factory/WIPE" as if we were restoring the factory settings.
This will cause root (magisk) to save permanently.

Of course we need to unlock the bootloader, but now (10.06.2019) it is not a problem because they sell for $41 (I bought it on imei.by - paid PayPal)

I wrote this post because I've been working hard to get root for half a day and there were incomplete answers everywhere.

I'm on a P20 Pro with EMUI 9.1 - 9.1.0.311

I cannot flash TWRP or Magisk boot img's, bootloader is still unlocked, FRP is fine, it's just not letting me play.

I pathced TWRP, Recovery_ramdisk, nothing is playing lol.

Perhaps it's the rom i'm on.

Thanks for the guide, but no good for the pro on 311 unfortunately. :(

Cheers

Thats what i thought dude

boot to bootloader

put magisk patched img in adb folder

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk.patched.img

Remove cable, boot and hold up

device boots to the first screen for eRecovery

same problem with TWRP



I've even factory wiped and booted straight to bootloader before flashing magisk or twrp, had to install the stock recovery_ramdisk to perform the wipes required


at this point i've no idea what to do so i'm looking for a non service firmware to flash, only the ones i've found are all 311 not above, can't find 320

sucks

EDIT: Downloading this now

Does this also work on my Huawei Mate 9?
And did you just patch the EMUI 9.1 recovery_ramdis via magisk or something else?

i had the same prob: the trick ist to keep Vol up and (!) Power at the same time until the blue bootschreen from the honor appears. Do it NOT as in earlier times: Do NOT realese power after the first vibration as before. After flashing the modyfied patched recovery (modyfied by magisk), keep both buttons until the blue honor bootscreen apears, then release the buttons & you will see only one text line (not the three), which indicates that the v10 is booting with root!
