Yes,its working...
REMOVE ALL OTHER ROOT...working or not befor installing magisk....may end with....something you dont want...
Maybe it would be best to start with a freshly factory resetted phone.... (anyway,to erase all errors in TWRP,youll format/data so... )
you need bootloader unlock... followed instructions HERE don't forget to OEM UNLOCK in /settings/Developer section on phone..(enable it while pressing repeatedly on Phone version (in ''about phone also in settings)
You need MINIMAL ADB on pc...HERE
You need TWRP recovery installed...HERE
but before doing all that...BE SHURE to have the original UPDATE.APP (firmware from huawei) somewhere on your pc
you will need the BOOT.img from your original firmware... (extract it from the update.app (update.zip for huawei firmware)
HERE
extract the boot.img somewhere on your pc... like on your desktop...
then,youll need 2 magisk things...
the LATEST magisk ZIP file...
and the LATEST MAGISK APK...
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS (from Magisk post...i did it and its working :silly: )
Installation Instructions
If you already have Magisk installed, you can directly upgrade through Magisk Manager
For installing Magisk the first time
Make sure to remove any other root, best to restore your boot image back to stock
Via custom recovery:
Download the latest Magisk zip file
Reboot to a custom recovery and flash the flashable zip
Via Magisk Manager (Only support v14.0+):
This method does not need root, and also does not require a custom recovery.
However, you MUST have a stock boot image dump beforehand, and also be able to flash the patched boot image, either through fastboot/download mode or ODIN
Install the latest Magisk Manager
If you're planning to flash the patched boot image through ODIN, go to Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format, and select .img.tar. For normal users leave it as the default .img
Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file
Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Flash the patched boot image to your device and reboot. Voilà!
Check whether Magisk Manager is installed and the version matches the latest one in the OP
If for some reason Magisk Manager isn't installed/upgraded automatically, please install it manually
the ADB method is the best...
after reboot,in magisk app,youre supposed to be GREEN checked....
after that,if all green,you can FIX that DATA problem in TWRP...saying cant mount or blablabla...
DO a backup cuz yess,youll loose everything... Hisuite for your apps
in twrp, FORMAT DATA... ...wipe data factory reset...re install your things then,youll be able to do recoverys ect. in twrp
dont forget to RE INSTALL magisk APK after formatting and factory reset
IT WILL take some time TO BOOT... so let it do its thing...
Now about magisk modules...all of them ive tried ended in (blablabla not a magisk module)...
no big deal....just dload the zip and look for the app or file in it... and apply to where it belongs... like new Oreo Emojis...ive dloaded the zip,found the file, then paste the file in /system/fonts...then reboot
now...if i made a mistake somewhere in my explanations well... sorry....
WARNING
IF youre device is bricked or what so ever... its not MY fault....you do that on your own......Ive done it,followed MAGISK instructions and its working....
Not shure about it...DONT DO IT....
DON'T DO TWRP backups with fingerprints/nip/code unlock methods activated on your phone... i had to factory reset phone cuz code was not working.
YES there's a way to recover anyway... THANKS HENKATE
Regarding fingerprint, boot in recovery and go to advanced > file manager and delete data/system/locksettings.db
Then advanced > terminal and type:
cd data/system
rm -rf *.key
Then reboot and you won't have secured lockscreen
MAGISK modules are HERE
Magisk MANAGER is available on PLAYSTORE
BEFORE making a twrp backup... (after data format ect.)...
you may want to FIX the huawei theme manager not working problem for some of us... the FIX is HERE
Thanks to Henkate
Youll need a good file system manager...i'm using ROOT EXPLORER and theres that new FX file explorer

Does it work in the non plus Nova as well? Any experiences?
Worked on Can-L11. Tested. No need format data, in twrp tree, i add img, that work with encrypted data.
I can't get this to work on my MLA-03, i have TWRP installed and unlocked b/l. I tried to flash RR and Lineage but getting "can't mount" errors up the ying yang. Anyone with MLA-03 got any tips? Is there a certain recovery that is recommended?

did you format data as f2fs? If yes, magisk doesn't go well along with it. If no, then you would get better support at magisk thread

I bought a LG V35 recently. When I got the phone, I found its rooted already and looks like bootloader is unlocked since the 1st screen shows the warning unlocked messages. See attachments.
After I got into the system, I could see magisk and used root permission without any problem.
I wanted to do a system backup in the customer recovery like twrp or CWM. (I thought it should be there, since phone is rooted) But after I clicked "reboot to recovery" with TaiBackup APP, I could not get into recovery and screen shows "erasing data" and then rebooted. When system was started up again, phone was done a factory reset and magisk did not work any more...(I checked, I still can see the unlocked bootloader messages at that time)
Then I had to send my phone to the seller and got rooted again. I really do not understand how the seller rooted this phone!!
Now I am wondering if I can flash any custom recovery like twrp? I do not see LG V35 in official twrp's support device list. Dare I try the twrp for LG G7 or LG V30 or others?
If I have to try twrp for LG G7, is there anybody knows how to do a recovery backup via ADB beforehand? Anything I can do to minimize the risk?
He probably dumped the boot image with LGUP, and manually patched it with Magisk on another device

Yes, I searched with google about patching magisk boot img and now I agree with you.
Now, when I trying to install some modules in magisk, I will get "installation failed". See the attachment.
I googled and tried to find the solution. It is said that I could update/re-install the magisk manager apk to solve the problem. But the seller told me DO NOT touch the magisk and even update it.
Do you know if I can update the magisk manager when rooted in the patching boot img way?
Do you know if I can install xposed in the magisk in this case?
Are there some DONTs when rooted in the patching boot img way?
Thanks for your reply.
Mate just start first with a backup via LGUP than check if you can reboot to bootloader. Then read a bit G7 thread and if you are confident in your knowledge and skills continue - it is an easy job to firstly backup your both boot mages, patch them and flash them back to your phone if you have fastboot.

Is there somebody can tell me how to solve the issue that i can not install any module in magisk?
Can i update the magisk framework to 18.1 when the root method is coming from the patching boot image?
Since you have full fastboot, grab a copy of TWRP for the G7 and try booting it. I verified today that laf from the G7 boots just fine on the V35, so TWRP should work until (yes I am being optimistic here) I can get the V35 rooted and build our own TWRP.
In case you are new, the command will be:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Where twrp.img is whatever the filename of TWRP is. If the touch screen works, and the rest of the functionality is there, you can use that for now. However, you will have to have a PC and fastboot boot it every time you want to get into TWRP.
On SD845 and later devices (which the G7 and V35 have), recovery is no longer a separate partition -- it is included in boot. So, you do NOT want to flash the G7 version because while the G7 kernel may work fine for laf, and TWRP, it probably wouldn't be ideal to use as a system kernel.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I do have a question for you. Where did you get your phone from? I have a hard time believing that there are so many V35s out there with engineering bootloaders -- so I would like to get my hands on one and figure out how they unlocked the bootloader.

Thanks for your answers.
I bought this phone from taobao which is a bigest famous online shopping site in China. I do not know how they unlocked the bootloader and tell me if something I can help with.
I unlocked LG G2/G4/oneplus 5T myself so I know the basic knowledges about how to execute ADB command and the normal root process. But I do not know the one using patched magisk boot img way.
As far as I understand, you meant that we can temporarily boot into the G7 twrp to use its functions but we cannot actually flash the twrp to the phone. Booting to G7 twrp image, is it safe? (The "safe" I mean is that, if I encounter problems, at least I still can startup the phone with rooted. Otherwise, I need to send my phone to the seller who is 2000KM away to root it again...Last time I booted into its recovery, all my data was erased...) Anyway, I will try it as you suggested, but I will put it the 2nd priority.
The 1st priority is that, I truely want to solve the problem I met about installing magisk module failed. See my attachment. I want to know if I can fix the problem by updating the magisk framework. I need the "safe" way as I just said.
So if I click "yes" in the 33.jpg I attached, do you know which would happen?
A. brick the phone
B. restart and get a factory reset, then I cannot use root any more
C. nothing changed, still install module failed but root can work
D. Solve the problem and can install module successfully
If you press "Yes" it will just download Magisk setup which will fail doing anything it will reboot to the stock recovery which will perform security check and wipeout magisk from boot image.
To solve your problem and install the module properly you need to patch externally your boot image and and flash it back in fastboot mode overwriting both a and b slots.
So:
1. Dump boot via LGUP download mode.
2. Patch it via Magisk Manager.
3. Flash it back under fastboot mode.
4. Install your module and enjoy...
P.S.: If you are not confident on how to perform any of the listed steps above please do not start it at all because definitely you will need to travel 200 km again for restoring root...

Thanks for explaining. That is what I worry about. Some questions for you:
1. I have used LGUP to dump boot_a and boot_b. (Very slow, took 1 hour. I renamed them to boot_a_org.img and boot_b_org.img, they are no difference with cksum). So this is currently boot images patched by seller? So, no matter what problems I encounter, I can flash boot_a_org.img(boot_b_org.img) back to boot_a and boot_b to recover my phone anytime and still get rooted? If so, I can feel free to do anything no worrying about the 2000KM delivery...
2. You mentioned "Patch it via Magisk Manager". I can directly patch boot_a_org.img to do it? I think boot_a_org.img is already patched by seller. (I do not have the original unpatched and unlocked bootloader img for V35...)
3. "Patch it via Magisk Manager". can only be done in my V35 phone, or it is OK to do it in other phones?
4. Can I try to boot into G7 twrp then I can flash the newest magisk via twrp? In this way I can fix my problem?
Thank you very much in advance.
1. Download LGUP from HERE
(make sure you put it in the right place afterwards: C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP)
2. Shut down your phone and then press VOL+ button and connect it via USB cable to your computer (The phone will boot in download mode).
3. Start LGUP.exe and select DUMP mode. DUMP only those partitions (place checkbox):
abl_a
abl_b
boot_a
boot_b
xbl_a
xbl_b
This will finish our backup preparation, so report back once done.
(Also just come to a better idea - compress and upload somewhere your boot_a file I'll try to patch it with latest Magisk and upload it back to you)

Laf has new security that prevents reading for now. LG UP 1.14 and 1.15 can't read .. and I can't find a copy of 1.16.

@runningnak3d maybe you are mixing V40 with V35. Using this DUMP only version of LGUP bootloader unlocked phones are able to dump all (even non kdz partitions) so he will be able to perform this operation.

This only works for v35 phones with unlocked bootloader?
Yes, I have already dumped those part:
abl_a
abl_b
boot_a ============> I rename this one to boot.img
boot_b
xbl_a
xbl_b
Could you teach me what is each one used for?
So boot.img is currently boot image patched by seller? So, no matter what problems I encounter, I can flash boot.img back to boot_a and boot_b to recover my phone anytime and still get rooted? If so, I can feel free to do anything no worrying about the 2000KM delivery...

The files I dumped from LGUP are bin file or img file?
I try to patch the boot.img file but everytime I get error. See attachment.
@alex.coffen Yes if you backup your boot image and do not boot into RECOVERY everything will be safe.
It appears your DUMP was not done properly. Please if possible open your boot.img with HEX editor and take a look at it - if there are only 0-es there than it appears something is wrong with your dump.

Yes, all 0-es. What should I do? I have already re-installed the USB dirver 4.2.0. See attachment.
Since I failed to use LGUP dump boot img, I think about another way.
I installed termintor on my phone. Under directory /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name, I execute "ls -l" then I can find all partitions, for one example:
boot_a -> /dev/block/sde11
In this case, do you know if I can use "dd if=/dev/block/sde11 of=/storage/emulated/0/Download/boot_a.img" to get the boot img?

TWRP 3.3.1 & Root for Moto 1 VisionThanks to the efforts of yuri-2016 and and my humble contribution, the TWRP 3.3.1 was made from scratch and a new method of Root was tested.
Accept this gift from the bottom of your heart! :highfive:
Instructions
USB debugging must be enabled on the phone and the bootloader must be unlocked!
1. Download attached archive TWRP_Root_Motne_Vision.zip and extract files from it in the following order::
- .bat executive file and vbmeta.img to the folder with the firmware files;
- TWRP-3.3.1_Motorola_One_Vision.img to \adb\ folder.
- TWRP-3.3.1_Installer_Motorola_One_Vision.zip, Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip, Magisk Installer, MagiskManager copy to External SDcard in your phone.
2. Load phone in fastboot mode, then connect it to PC, then start an executive file .bat. At the end of flashing the phone will reboot into bootloader-mode and then TWRP again.
3. In the Recovery at the very beginning we put a checkmark in the checkbox to avoid this request in future, and give permission to modify the system for writing.
4. Go to the Wipe page and run the Format Data for decryption. Enter "yes" for the request. Exit to the Main Menu and reboot to Bootloader.
5. Attention! You mus BOOT into Recovery mode (DO NOT INSTALL it !), through the command:
Code:
fastboot boot C:\adb\TWRP-3.3.1_Motorola_One_Vision.img
6. Flash an archive TWRP-3.3.1_Installer_Motorola_One_Vision.zip which will make TWRP permanent.
NOTE: If you want to keep the stock Recovery , do not install this archive, but in order to boot into TWRP you will need to run the command from Step 5 every time.
7. Configure TWRP via “Settings”-page (time, time zone, language, etc.) as you want.
8. Go to “Install” page and flash the Magisk Installer , and flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip
9. Reboot in System. Phone will reboot several times, don`t worry. Perform initial settings again.
10. Install MagiskManager.apk, because the application installed in the system generates an error and does not start.
Now your device has a custom recovery TWRP and Root rights! :good: :victory:
01/10/2019 New instruction have been made
30/09/2019 New build TWRP !!!
Fixed: Removed the "Enable MTP" button.
Note: Who will reinstall the new TWRP build over the old one, follow these steps:
1. Download new TWRP_Root_Motne_Vision.zip
2. Load into Recovery mode via the command:
Code:
fastboot boot C:\adb\TWRP-3.3.1_Motorola_One_Vision.img
3. Install TWRP-3.3.1_Installer_Motorola_One_Vision.zip
4. Flash Magisk installer, Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip.
5. Reboot in the Recovery again.
6. Try to adjust the brightness, connect USB-OTG, check the absence of the "Enable MTP" button.
Old instructions
Friends! I got the Root for this device.
I'm not saying it's the only way to get a Root. I suggest something I used on my own device.
You are responsible for everything you do with your device!
Getting Root was performed on firmware XT1970-3_KANE_RETEU_DS_9.0_PSA29.160-30
Attention! The process of receiving the Root will delete all your data from the device.
1. The bootloader must be unlocked on the device beforehand.
2. Extract files from the archive https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xgTVlIXOFWq59I1-D9bnRlj1heJycT_I :
- vbmeta.img, vbmeta_patch.img and boot_patch.img to the adb folder;
- MagiskManager-v7.3.4.apk to a convenient folder for you. It will then need to be copied either to the phone memory or to the SD Card.
3. Load the device into fastboot mode and connect it to your PC.
4. Flash vbmeta.img with the command:
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
5. Flash boot_patch.img with the command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot_patch.img
6. Flash vbmeta_patch.img command:

Unlock the bootloader
Download the stock rom
Install magisk manager
Click install and chose patch boot image
Copy the patched boot image to your PC
Flash the new image using ADB
I think these are the steps to root the phone

Hello
I have a One Action, could you help me to get root?
Do I need to patch all those images with Magisk?
Thanks in advanced.

Magisk probably hides the bootloader status so that update check works, but it will most likely fail during install. At least that's how it works on moto one and moto one power.
On moto one I either reflash current build without wipe and then take ota and re-root after, or just flash the update if I get them early, and re-root-

I don't think it's possible. The system must be completely virgin to update the OTA. Then why do I need a Root? I need it to customize the system.

Thanks a lot. I just unlocked my BL for the second time and this root method is working fine.
May I ask if you just used magisk manager to patch boot, cause when I do I get error on flash.
Code:
(bootloader) is-logical:boot_a: not found
Sending 'boot_a' (33792 KB) OKAY [ 1.172s]
Writing 'boot_a' FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))
And how did you patch vbmeta?
I'm just curious since this patched boot isn't the latest and I wonder how to make this work with the latest boot.img from September patch update.
So after you unlocked the boot loader ( see my previous post)
you can start rooting with magisk manager / patching the boot.img from the original firmware
I used this thread in order to get root ; i modified the contents so it would fit the moto phone a bit better:, but thnx goes to Ibolito over at the pixel 3 forums
1 ) Download the latest Android factory image for your device ("see this guide on where to find it.
2 ) Extract the "boot.img" file from the downloaded image and copy it to your phone.
Warning! Make absolutely sure the firmware is exactly the same as the installed one. If not, you might loose touch.
Be aware that LMSA will download the latest firmware, even if it is not yet installed. That might break your touchscreen
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3 ) Download latest Magisk Manager application on your phone and install it :
Link
4 )Press on the Install Magisk button (the one on the top, not the Magisk Manager), then Install > Select and Patch a File and now select the Boot.img file you extracted earlier. When the process is done, just put the patched boot.img file on your computer in the same folder as your ADB and FASTBOOT tools, the file's name is magisk_patched.img
edit: i received a comment that the name might be something like Magisk_patched_somerandomletters_.img since the latest magisk update
5 ) Enable adb debugging on your phone and connect it to your computer via USB.
Open a command prompt on your computer and migrate to the folder where the ADB and Fastboot tools are located.
(for exemple, for me it's : cd C:\adb).
7 ) Reboot your phone to fastboot by typing adb reboot bootloader
8 ) Flash the Boot.img you just patched with magisk by typing fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
extra: You could test a single boot with that image by typing "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img"
if it boots fine you should have root for this single boot / magisk would show as installed.
9 ) When it's done, reboot by typing fastboot reboot
10 ) Open your Magisk Manager app and check if everything is good, and it should be
extra info:
I did worry a bit because the original boot.img is 64 megs , while the patched version is only 12
but i went with it, and it was fine.
good luck to you all
Edit: rewritten entire post so it would look more like a guide, and extra warning because a lot of people seem to loose touch if they don't have the exact same firmware downloaded as on their phone.
Thanks for posting this. I unlocked my bootloader and would like to root like you did.
Do you install magisk first on your phone, then get the magisk_patched file from your phone? Or is the magisk_patched file obtained somewhere else?

You need to install the magisk manager
In magisk manager you can click on "install (magisk)"--> "by patching a file"
then you select the file to be patched ( extracted from the original rom )
after that you can copy the patched file from your phone back to the pc and install it via fastboot.
After that magisk is installed
i hope you succeed

i don't really understand the question i guess,
a magisk patched boot is flashed via fastboot. after that you have magisk installed and root access.

I did have some issues with the current magisk manager ( from highonandroid, i did find another source, installed version 7.5.1 of the magisk manager from this source

US version: Sofia
The rest: Sofiar

Check out One Hyper general to install Dolby Atmos and it can be toggle on/off.
Has anyone tried copying something to the root of the phone or making build.prop edits? I have the Stylus and have achieved root using the same method, however there is something not quite right with the permissions. I cannot make changes to any root files.

Hmmmm, I will have to read more about fastbootd in your other thread.
I did use the boot.img for the sofiap.
Hello,
I followed all the instructions in the first post and was able unlock the bootloader, install magisk, and use it to make the magisk_patched.img file from a boot.img file.
The only variation, was that I got my boot.img file from mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/sofia/official/RETUS/XT2041-4_SOFIA_RETUS_10_QPM30.80-13-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip since my phone is a US retail model.
After flashing, the phone boots up properly but the touchscreen does not work.
The side buttons do work and I was able to reboot into recovery. In recovery, the build on the phone is indicated as QPM30.80-51. The build in the above indicated file is QPM30.80-13-2. Could this be the source of the problem?
I have tried flashing the original boot.img (from the file above) back and the touchscreen still does not work. I have also tried “wipe data/factory reset” in recovery.

Unfortunately i am not able to download this for some reason. I get an access denied error message.

I was able to find the most recent firmware here:
github.com/AndroidDumps/motorola_sofia_dump/tree/sofia_retail-user-10-QPM30.80-51-bd0b4-release-keys
I downloaded just the boot.img file and flashed it. That fixed the touchscreen issue. I then used magisk to batch the boot.img and I now have root.
Just to be clear, this worked on a US retail moto g power purchased unlocked from best buy. The phone model number is XT2041-4.
Hope this helps.

I downloaded the kernel and waiting for the unit.
I can flash full ROM with fastboot and fastbootd, but just flashing kernel would be much faster.
Moreover, check One Hyper general to get Dolby Atmos because you can turn on and off anytime you want.
Since you are rooted, you probably found out the OTA update won’t install.
after 3 % it crashes, and no update is installed.
So this is what I did to get the latest update:
step 1: remove root access;
- reboot and hold volume down to get into fastboot mode
- connect to pc, and load original boot.img , I checked if that was the proper one by using “fastboot boot
boot.img” ( I checked if magisk was no longer installed, this was merely to find out if I used the proper boot.img, I knew
chances the update would install were slim, I tried… but no luck as expected…. )
- I connected to LMSA, to make a backup, and download the new rom.
- I went to fastboot mode again and flashed the boot by using the command “fastboot flash boot boot.img ( the “old/current” one, not the one from the downloaded new image”
“fastboot reboot”
Step 2:
so the phone booted, and I ran the update again. This time I had no issues installing it.
Step 3:
i extracted the new Boot.img from the rom downloaded by LMSA
I re patched the new boot.img with magisk, rebooted again, and and the update was complete.
this was done on the eu g8 power , for update qpe30.79.124 , but i guess this will work on all versions since the process is the same ...
for people reading this, and don’t have root / want root, just read this thread:
Confirming success with this. I downloaded the whole ZIP, extracted boot.img and used Magisk App's built-in feature to mod the boot img. Afterward, I reflashed boot partition via fastboot. Thanks, all!
Success on Sophia RETUS 80-51-5. Flashed 80-51-3 stock boot with fastboot, took update, extracted BOOT from 80-51-5, modified with Magisk and flashed the mod with fastboot. Back up and running.

As far as I know you will also have to flash the stock recovery before updating... not sure if the recovery has to match the stock rom build, like the boot.img does. You could also flash the entire latest stock rom using LMSA to update.

I'm guessing that a fail is expected since original boot.img is no longer installed (ie, rather the patched version is installed). Hopefully someone can elaborate
Also in the case of the Magisk systemless root method, will OTA announcements occur even though they can't be installed without first unrooting?
I wonder if there is not a few steps that could be cut off and streamlined this method, for example why isnt uninstalling magisk enough, since magisk restores the boot.img, also it backs up the original boot.img so instead of going through the whole LMSA thing it can be just copied to storage and flashed in fastboot, right?

I just did that with a sofia retus phone on Android 11 for the new security update.
RPM31.Q1-54-13 to RPMS31.Q1-54-13-2.
1. Uninstall all Magisk modules and reboot
2. Uninstall Magisk and hit restore image
3. Uninstall Magisk completely and phone reboots
4. Accept OTA update (nervously)
5. Patch boot image with Magisk
6. Flash patched image with minimal adb and fastboot
7. Success!
