It is also important that you wipe internal storage so everything is erased. You need to start from fresh

Hi,

Can I ask a favour?

Anyone who has rooted stock rom and running it successfully, can you please grab the following file for me?

/sys/fs/selinux/policy

You need to have su privileges

Thanks a lot in advance..

I was having issues with bootloop. My final solution is TWRP P20Pro (charlotte) recovery image patched using Magisk 18.1 stable. No bootloop so far. Magisk 18.1 is good enough for LYA rooting.
If somebody is on Magisk canary (19.x) either uninstall it (if you can go out of bootloop to the rooted system up and running) e.g. via Magisk uninstall script or device recovery will do the trick. I tested HiSuite recovery with HSTool, worked fine and data were perserved - note that BL will be locked after this recovery method (new unlock will obviously cause factory reset - full wipe except external storage card).

I was on v19.0 and got too many bootloop. I've done exactly what you said and everything work perfect.
Patched twrp Charlotte with magisk app and 18.1 version, uninstalled v19.0, rebooted in fastboot mod and flashed patched img. Clean root now

Can't attach patched img with Tapatalk so here a Google drive link of twrp P20pro Charlotte patched with Magisk 18.1 stable

Root

1. Download and install Magisk Manager from this XDA post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
2. Switch channel, go to Magisk Manager -> Settings -> Update Channel , set it to Custom, and the URL is https://bit.ly/2N8UVlq (at the moment, per https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/dev-magisk-canary-channel-bleeding-edge-t3839337). Go back to main screen and down swipe to refresh, it should say Latest Version > v18.0.
3. You will need to find the stock RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img file, I used HW Firmware Finder (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146) to help me with the task, however I couldn't find the L0C update file and ended up using L09 update file instead, which appear to work. I also couldn't find the update.zip for .171 so I ended up using the latest full update version that was available to me (http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...69/g1750/v181585/f1/full/update_full_base.zip).
4. Unzip the file, drag out UPDATE.APP file in the zip package, and opened it with Huawei Firmware Extractor (I used 0.9.9.5 in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454). Extract and open the UPDATE.APP in update file. If you get a checksum error make sure to uncheck both of the verify checksum in Settings -> Extract.
5. Now you should see a RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img file, right click and extract it.
6. Send the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img file back to your phone (anywhere is fine), go back to Magisk Manager -> Install -> Patch boot, get the patched_boot.img file from the phone back to the PC.
UPDATE 2019/01/02: @pvillasuso was kind enough to post the ramdisk image (both original and Magisk modified) for Mate 20 Pro LYA-L09 (Firmware version .171):https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78575496&postcount=13, obviously use it at your own risk.
7. Go to fastboot mode again:

adb devices
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "PATH_TO_patched_boot.img"
fastboot reboot

Now your phone should be back to normal with no root yet, turn off your phone and turn it back on by booting into recovery (Power and volume up with phone disconnected from USB)

Boot up and if you go to Magisk now you should be able to see Magisk installed with Installed Version same as Latest Version.

Congrats you are now rooted!

* Does the same instructions apply to P30 Pro? (Tried the same, But it goes to a bootloop)
* Can I receive OTA while being rooted from the above method?

it's ok now?

 

[User422]

Nope.
eRecovery says "Software install failed!".
I have access to TWRP but USB OTG doesn't work and sideloading also doesn't work so I can't get the dload folder onto my phone.

Patching P20 Pro TWRP and flashing it also didn't work for me.

You patched twrp Charlotte with magisk 18.1? If no, use my patched img. I had same issue as you, bootloop, stuck on boot or phone going to fastboot himself... Just flash my own img and no more issue at all.

First of all. Magisk 18.1/ 19 is what we are trying to get in the first place.

I have tried your file, I have patched and tried my own and everything I could possibly think of.
It always says that Magisk isn't installed and I either can't get into TWRP or I can't see any files when I'm in to flash anything.

The weird thing is. Like I've said before, it did work once.
I have installed a magisk module which has caused a bootloop.
I've repeated the process to fix the bootloop.
Since then, it just won't work.
The Magisk installation is gone and just won't come back anymore.

I had already the same thing with a module (viper) and the only way was to flash twrp (not charlotte one), boot into twrp, wipe or format (if you want) data, cache and dalvik cache, and reboot to set the phone like a fresh install. After that I've just flashed a patched img.

I have the exact same device region code and am on the same firmware version.
The patched_boot.img didn't work for me though.

Just one question though.
What is that link after the "latest magisk version"?
The "(com.iZWsWioJb71GeMuA)"?
It doesn't show that link in my magisk manager.

No more bootloops with the latest magisk update, just install it directly from the manager reboot and enjoy booting your device like normal with root access ?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/development/08-01-romaur-v1-0-fast-stable-t3887498 i have installed this awesome custom stock rom on my m20pro running on 9.0.0.228, give it a try if you are lucky enough to have root access on your m20pro
S/o to @auras76, we definitely need more members like him!

Patching that one didn't work either. Just sent me back to the bootloader screen again.

How did you flashed it ?
With Twrp or fastboot or in Magisk directly like I said

Sorry to hear that. Did the one from the first post work for you?

Magisk -> Settings -> tick "Magisk Hide" -> will then use a randomized package name
