That's a scam, that won't work. There are plenty of things you can try but nothing will succeed. You have to unlock the bootloader and either flash the Magisk package in a custom recovery of your choice or patch the boot.img of your ROM on your phone with Magisk app and flash it via fastboot. But as you can see from the last statement you will need a PC in all cases. You can f.*k around with all those scams and Internet nonsense.. or you can save yourself some time and do it properly and successfuly for the first time. If you have an unlocked bootloader and a custome recovery already on the phone you are lucky, that's the only way to root it without a PC.
Thanks ill guess ill wait till i get home and do everything from scratch

I got a stock N910V with Marshmallow 6.0.1 that I am trying to root.
I tried the method decribed here using Kingroot and unlock_N4 but Kingroot
for some reason will not not work on my phone. Does the other root method I
found, using TWRP and SuperSU work? I was trying to find the correct version
TWRP on the original site and I cannot find it for the Note4, just the Note4 Edge
which I am not sure is correct file(I am afraid to brick my phone). Could someone
please advise me how I can root my phone the correct and safe way?
thank you

The TWRP link you're looking is here. For your purposes you'll want to get the .tar file so it can be flashed in Odin. However, the CF-Auto root method won't work for our phones unless you have a developer edition 910V. And even then your bootloader would be stuck on KK.
You could try the guide I wrote recently found here.
Go ahead and get anything on your phone that you want to keep copied to your pc and factory reset your device. Kingroot is unstable enough as it is without anything conflicting with it. If you start clean it should hold up for you long enough to get the commands entered .
Thank you so much for your help. Will the hybrid firmware change the ROM that is on the phone? What mode do I have
To use in Odin and is there any risk bricking the phone?
Thanks so much

Yes, the hybrid firmware will change your rom to stock Lp, but that's really only temporary so the root exploit will work. It does not work on MM stock.
To flash in Odin you want to use Download Mode. The correct way to enter download mode is to power off the phone, pull the battery for about 5 seconds, put the battery back in, and hold vol. down, home button, and power button at the same time.
As far as bricking goes, there is a risk of soft bricking your phone, but there's always a way out so long as you use only the files provided in the guides. I did forget one thing though in my guide, if you've never done this before you'll most likely need to install Samsung drivers to your pc. Samsung drivers
Just take your time and read the instructions a couple times before you do it. As a matter of fact I would read all the guides on this forum for unlocking the bootloader just so you get a couple different takes on it. If there's something your not sure of just let me know.
I thank you so much for your assistance. I rooted other Samsung phones, even a Galaxy S7 and it was much easier. Should I try the factory reset first and then try Kingroot again? All I got with Kingroot is no root
method found. Or should I go with the firmware upgrade?
thanks for you help
Don't use kingroot. Use kingoroot. Kingroot never worked for me but Kingoroot did.
My malware software detects Kingorooot as a Trojan, so I am not so sure about it. I tried it anyway and it stops at 90 % every time I try.

Install Magisk and custom kernel no problem but for all this you need to unlock the bootloader with adb on a PC it's fast, easy and just 1 time thing..
Might be able to get hold of my daughter linx tablet
Never rooted, don't want to brick my phone but I am interested, I heard the honor 7x guide won't work with the MATE SE, I was going to do a hard reset as I am having phone problems anyways and I might as well root. Any foolproof guides? I would like to use magisk.
Will gmail, maps and everything else still work correctly? I am ONLY rooting to make the fake gps app a system app so I can use without mock locations on.

Rooting is pretty straight forward.
For most phones the sequence goes like this.
1. Unlock the boot loader, Some phones come with unlocked boot loaders, not these ones though. You should visit The emui.huawei site and get the unlock code. They are about to remove this feature from their web page, but as of 7-23-2018 10:54 AM the page is still up. I believe it goes down tomorrow.
2. After unlocking the boot loader, you can flash a custom recovery(TWRP). The custom recovery is what allows you to gain root access.
3. From TWRP you will flash the magisk.zip file to gain root access.
You should make note of your EMUI version, 5.1 and 8 use different files. so If you're on EMUI 5.1 and try to flash EMUI8 files, you'll end up with a brick, same goes for vice versa.
Feel free to PM me if you want some more info, such as links.
Hi. I am about to purchase a Huawei Mate SE and wanted to know if there is a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. It looks like Kingroot and/or Kingoroot might be an option. I'm not new to rooting phones so I understand most of the basics. From what I read, I won't be able to install a custom recovery and therefore can't install custom ROMs which is fine. I mainly want root for apps like Titanium Backup and Greenify. I don't want to lose the ability to OTA. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for the help.
Kingroot and kingoroot are hot piles of garbage on oreo, and nougat. Pretty sure it only works up to lollipop.
Only way to root is to flash Magisk, and that requires an unlocked bootloader.
Dang. That sucks. Thanks for the response though
no need to install a custom recovery to get root. unlockbootloder densest effect ota. after u unlock ur bootloader you can flash a patch kernel that has Magisk

I just ordered this phone also. You should be able to get your bootloader unlocked with a service. See threads.
I sure hope so. Cause i plan on doing some stuff with this device.
Unlocking the bootloader is not difficult, but then there is a stupid bootloader unlocked warning that comes every time the phone restarts. And supposedly there is no way to turn it off for Huawei phones
Finally bought it.
Still fresh and everything, also my first Xiaomi device.
I only ever rooted an old Samsung device and an LG device (forgot their series now, haha..).
So my goals/targets:
1. Root
2. Custom Rom (if any)
3. Unlock bootloader? If it is locked by default.
I haven't looked what OS version my device have, as I haven't booted it up. Rather finish up the rooting first before putting anything inside.
Thanks for your time!
1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Root it.
3. No custom ROMs available unless you want to try a GSI.
For 1 & 2 go here.
For 3 go here. Really read up on how to install the GSI if you decide to go this route. There are some guides within this forum.

I tried following the link for 1 & 2
4. Now connect the phone with your PC via USB cable, open an administrative command prompt, move to the directory where the Android platform tools are placed and unlock the bootloader with the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Got stuck here with "waiting for any device". Do you have any insight for this?
Edit: Nvm got it fixed.
But how do I root? Finished up everything on the thread but I'm still not rooted. The thread doesn't say anything about it either.
You have to flash magisk and install the app, then you can give root acces.

Installing Magisk gives you root.

Ah okay, it seems to be the app that I wanted to test root on being the problem of me thinking root is not there (and well, older version stating its rooted)
Helium Backup doesnt seem to work with root here. Does either of you use it and knows how to use Helium Backup with root on Mi A2 Lite? Or is the only way with Helium Backup from desktop?
I have had only used titanium backup (freeware), sorry but I don't know anything about helium.
What are you trying to recover/backup, only data or entire apps?

I just got my wife a new Nokia 3.1 (Oreo 8.1) and Helium wouldn't work on it. I was able to back up her old phone running KitKat, but with Oreo on the new phone it was a no go. Neither phone could be rooted so it was disappointing that Helium couldn't do the job. It appears that Helium is not compatible with Oreo.
