[GUIDE] How to finally root EMUI9

Hey guys,
here is just a short guide on how to root EMUI9 with the newest Magisk 18.1 canary builds just release by John Wu.
This is not my work! All credits for this go to John Wu, the developer of Magisk.
You can try this of your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damage.
NOTE:
With the new Magisk, John Wu remapped the restart button in the standard power menu, so when you reboot with that button, you'll always reboot with root.
The power button works as normal.
You can revert to the stock recovery or an TWRP recovery at any time but without root.
- Download the TWRP app from Google PlayStore and install it.
- Go to the TWRP app and download the lastest twrp image for P20 Pro.
- Downlod one of the Magisk apk's from here and install it.
- Open the Magisk app, go to settings, put the update channel to manual and insert one of the links shown ontop of this page.
- Go back to the first page of Magisk, refresh it and make sure to install the lastet magisk apk. Open it again.
- You'll get asked to download and install the lastest Magist.zip. Do this and choose to patch only the boot.img. Choose the TWRP.img you've downloaded before.
- Plugin you device to a PC and download the patched img to your PC. Now reboot to fastboot mode and flash the patched img with "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_image.img"
- Now unplug your device and shut it down. Reboot it with holding vol-up button. Now it should boot fine with working root.
Have fun and thank you John Wu for your great work!

Not working

It's working for me. Finally have a root for EMUI 9

Do not use TWRP.img for patching,
use RECOVERY_RAMDISK instead
or simply download pre_patched one from here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rhl405-ALbYrtGHilrNUR5Fuq4yATvTH/view?usp=drivesdk

delete

works great

I'm strongly thinking about getting the P20 Pro tomorrow
But I really want it to be able to run with Magisk and its wonderful modules.
So a quick question, or two:
1) That patched_boot.img - do I use fastboot and then Flash Ramdisk? Any other requirements out of the box? Do I have to unlock the bootloader (noob question).
2) Is it only for EMUI 9.0? Do I get this version by the official updater?
Best regards

I think you'll need an unlocked bootloader and if your phone is new and locked you'll struggle obtaining root on any version of EMUI as it requires an unlocked bootloader. I believe there are paid services for that.

Okay, so if I'm on 8.1 when I receive it - shall I try to unlock the Bootloader first or update to 9.0?
Thank you for your quick reply!

I think you'll need to unlock bootloader before unless you receive the EMUI 9 update. But you may still need an unlocked bootloader. Better docrhst before you proceed. This is only coming from somone with an unlocked bootloader so I'm not sure if it's possible without.

That patched image file is only for EMUI 9,
and you need to flash it to recovery_ramdisk partition, not ramdisk. There's no longer ramdisk in EMUI 9. This is the exact reason for our trouble acquiring root, until topjohnwu, again, come as life saver, LoL
but if you decide to root on oreo and not upgrading, then you can simply use TWRP to flash Magisk.zip just like how you did with other phone.
for both, Unlocked Bootloader is a MUST. Unlock yours when you are still on 8.1. You gonna need to pay for the unlock code though. Keep your code safely in case you need it in the future.

Thanks for clarifying that!
So I start with unlocking the bootloader (funkyhuawei .club/ buycodes - $55 )
Then see if there's an official upgrade to EMUI 9 available,
if not I will flash it myself(?),
then flash this premade patched_boot.img to recovery_ramdisk.
Another nooby question, what is it exactly that's changed on this .img?
Thanks!

Are you saying the power button (restart/power off) no longer works? That's weird!
What about apps that provide an advanced power menu/ reboot widgets etc?
How do we unroot/revert to stock (for future OTA purposes)? Should we be backing up our boot img? If so, how?

Forget, what I told you in the first post. With the new Magisk, John Wu remapped the restart button in the standard power menue, so when you reboot with that button, you'll always reboot with root. The power button works as normal.
And for your second question:
Yeah, basically, that's it.
If you need to go back to stock, you need to extract the recovery ramdisk image from the original firmware, downloaded for example with Huawei Firmware Finder or maybe someone can provide the stock image.

Excellent, nice and simple that's what we like!!
Interesting way of doing it though, it's effectively booting from the recovery partition rather than the normal boot partition...hence no TWRP! I presume you could swap between rooted and stock that way...would help with those apps that even Magisk can't hide root from...would almost not want the remapping of the power button if it allowed you to swap between the two states (i.e. reboot from power button takes you to stock, reboot via up vol makes you rooted!)

my file patched with magisk as well of course,
difference is, author of this thread using TWRP image as base, while am using a pure stock recovery ramdiak from .168 EMUI 9 firmware
TWRP image can work as well, but may cause issue in some devices with different firmware version,
after all, topjohnwu tell you to use recovery ramdisk image, not TWRP right

Thanks
It worked fine, but not with TWRP img, I used my own recovery img

Can´t get to rooted EMUI 9. Always ended in non-rooted even after multiple reboots to recovery

You can't use it without root access. But TWRP or any kind of recovery is not needed for things like this.

Without twrp yes. You don't need recovery for viper4android.
But root. Nope.. You need to have a rooted device for the audio drivers to get installed.
And just so you know rooting with trip knox and void your warrenty and it also involves unlocking bootloader and doing so will show a message on phone startup about the phone being insecure.
So keep that on mind before you unlock bootloader and root with magisk

I have done none of them. And it's working like a charm.
There is a Viper4Android module in magisk which is installed but not by me. So I think app is doing necessary things itself.

Viper4android is an alternative audio driver for Android that offers very granular control over each aspect of audio output coming from your phone.
You can adjust bass, treble reverberations gain etc and many more things with this.
And unlike other sound apps this works system wise.

Hey, I'm really sorry for this late respond. I'm busy nowadays and just had some time to check my mails etc.
Right now I'm using V4A Version 2.7.1.6. You can find it here.
If you're using Android 10, it's completely normal to have problems with V4A for now. If you're using Android 10 please let me know and I'll explain you how you should install V4A.

i also installed viper4 adnroid v2.7.1.6 from xda labs . but after reboot i lost magisk root. also the driver didnt worked. on reboot the driver started working ,but the magisk root disappeared.
the only way for me to get magisk root back is to either factory reset in twrp, which will erase v4a ..or to restore stock boot.img which will erase magisk
now i am in this limbo.
if you have some advise to get me out of this mess,kindly post it here

Magisk working or not?

I heard people brick their phones after flashing magisk. Is that their fault or it's just that magisk doesn't work on this phone yet?

Seems to be the later.

I will test some Magisk versions today.

The manager installs just fine, I downloaded the image from Mi and extracted the boot.img from their firmware. It seems to have been patched just fine with the Magisk app, I haven't flashed it yet, haven't figured out how to get to download mode on this phone. They have a custom boot loader and custom recovery on it. adb reboot download just reboots the phone. I went through the motions of unlocking the bootloader per their instructions but they're having me wait a week before I can unlock the bootloader. I'm hesitant to flash magisk before unlocking the bootloader and making sure I can re-flash with twrp if needed.

Flashing magisk bricks the phone, flashing patched boot.img also bricks the device.
Kingoroot anyone ?

A loot of people brick their phones.. but the sad part is to recover it back.. I dont know why is so hard to unbrick almost everyone Xiaomi phones...

There is an easier way.
I had twrp as recovery and when i flashed magisk v20 zip it bricked both the normal system and recovery
It was saying "The system has been destroyed"
So i was doing random stuff and found the solution
1) go to fastboot
2) from pc execute the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" you probably know how to install twrp
3) then boot to recovery
4) enter password and allow modifications
5) go to reboot > System
Thats how i did it.
I have not tested with other custom recoveries
Hope I help

Now you can upgrade back to 5.10 and reinstall magisk before booting up the update. Works real easy.

^ @gaww
I've been able to unlock the bootloader on my Oneplus 8 Pro and am trying to locate a magisk patch compatible with 10.5.1.in11aa, yet can't locate this version. However, there's an OTA update available for my phone at takes it to 10.5.10. If I first perform that OTA update, where can I then find a compatible version of magisk?
TIA!

Don't make things complicated, update to 10.5.10, boot twrp, install magisk from the zip

^ Pardon my noobness, but does the Magisk version have to match the OxygenOS version, or can I simply use the latest Magisk version? Lots of chatter about getting the Magisk that matches.
