[ROOT] Full Root for the Mate 9

[ante0]

I DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS THREAD INSTEAD: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986

It's easier as you don't need to get a decrypted boot image.

Thank you ajsmsg78 for your work on this.

If you rooted using this method you don't need to re-root. Only difference is that SuperRoot patches boot image to "decrypt" automatically.

Perfect. Will try this later and report back. Thank you!

Just a tip, wipe dalvik & cache after flashing, fixed some small bugs for me (Not being able to get into developer options)

Also, RSA breaks if you flash the wrong boot image (165 on 138) so no adb

Yes!!!!

So does this work if RSA break...Sorry I'm a noob. Is this process safe to root? Which one should image should I flash
..The latest one I'm assuming.

What model are you using?
Check Settings - About - Build number
MHA-L29...

About safeness, worst case you can use FunkyHuawei to restore (Unless you're using the US C567, and it's not a free service). But restoring stock boot using fastboot should be enough, and you would do a data wipe in vain.

*in that way we don't need to have the boodloader unlocked ??

So... To be clear for the folks that need clarity (me) to prevent messing up a device without a downloadable full ROM (though I'll do a full TWRP Backup to the best of my ability post step one), the current US only build appropriate boot image is B138?

Thank you for the screenshot. Ready to pop open the new device box and unlock the bootloader and fastboot. This helps so I'm flashing the correct modified boot.img in recovery.

Yes you must unlock your bootloader in order to flash TWRP and install root.

Time to break my mate 9 back out and root it again. Thank you!

@ajsmsg78 the boot images cause a bootloop for MHA-L29C185 could you please make a special boot file for it, here is the link for C185B138

Will you be supporting M9P ?

This boot looped my MHA-L29C636B138.

Yeah when I get home I'll take care of it. Make sure your data is decrypted before you flash the boot.img. I had no issues with any boot images on my C567 US version.

I'm gonna fix that in the boot.img. I had issues with adb being unauthorized but realized what the issue was.

 

[ajsmsg78]

No I can only support the phone that I own. However, if you need a boot.img decrypted send me the file and I'll do it.

Sure, i would love to help the community. Could you kindly explain to me how i can extract this boot.img?

In TWRP do a backup of you rom then go into your sdcard then into TWRP, then backups, then the next folder with all the numbers then into the name of your backup then send me the boot.emmc.win file.

Thank you. I will get on it and send it to you ASAP.

Fixed adb on B365.
