I was just trying to help and I thought you'd do the same
It doesn't support ATU-XXX as some ATU devices are MSM8937 instead of MSM8917.
I didn't have time to actually analyze your message completely, and I thought you want help building a Kernel lol
If the Kernel doesn't boot then you should be stuck on Huawei Logo.

Hey.

In this tutorial i will show you how to root Huawei Y6 2018.

Devices that should work:
ATU-L11
ATU-L21
ATU-L22
ATU-L23
ATU-L31
ATU-L42
YGN-AL00
YGN-L21
YGN-L22
YGN-L23
YGN-L41
YGN-L42
YGN-L51
YGN-L61
YGN-TL10


First you need to have the bootloader unlocked and usb debugging enabled.


Download this Magisk Patched Ramdisk from here: https://mega.nz/#!OdpDiKJb!MBjuu0fbjqSuynxGZ9n0x9JuoqXcV5YYXoZOvOaYAbU
After that go into fastboot and type: fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
Now type fastboot reboot. Wait your phone to boot and now it should be rooted:)
(You might have to install Magisk Manager mannualy to propretly use root permissions)

Tested only on ATU-L21, use at your own risk!

Tested only on EMUI 8. I'm not sure if it would work on Lineage 15.0
Original Ramdisk: https://mega.nz/#!bdwTiD5I!STHIWQrCle_nCoPKe4_Mgvo9z_Qn4Etnnhbt0fmG1PE
Kernel.img, if your phone shows Huawei logo and then goes blackscreen: https://mega.nz/#!KAoR3KYT!ufZv7ZbBsB_Bf9Rw_7vovbGJMmsuPOpUeIAFgUohKE0
If something goes wrong, you could try to flash this one.
Tutorial for noobs here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...i-y6-2018-atu-xxx-t3815407/page3#post77139034

(I don't own the device)

You flashed to wrong partiton.

Also there is no recovery for the Y6 2018 so that will probably brick your device as it looks to be 3.2.1 from Huawei Y6 2015.
This is not the TWRP thread. This is ROOT thread. So next time don't be off topic too much.

where do I find a TWRP recovery for Huawei Y6 2018..
and what is the fastboot command to install it?
"fastboot flash recovery <namefile>" dont work.
I wanted to debrandize the phone by putting an original ROM, otherwise I can not.

It seems that the broken WebView (that rendered Chrome and Gmail unusable, to name a few) is introduced with Magisk 16.6; which is, the version included with the custom kernelramdisk.

@Thespartann please update Magisk to the latest build.
I really appreciate your work. ;)

You might have seen me on Telegram before. And yes, my device's bootloader has been unlocked.
