Mate 10 Pro rooting questions - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Hi, I would like to root my mate 10 pro and have already tried using FHMate10tool but this resulted in not being able to use themes and google pay which I would like to still be able to use. Is there any way to root the device without taking away functionality that it's supposed to have? I want to be able to utilise the NFC capabilities so that I can store all of my NFC charging cards and Student ID on the phone but this needs root. I have considered the Magisk root. Will this remove any functionality from the device if I use that? Will google music and Google photos still work as they should? Will updates work etc?

No, with Magisk Root you will not loose any functionality.

So what is the reason why you guys are rooting or trying to root this device?

...... at the expense of bricking in some cases....
in my case the only reason to get root on a device...is to install V4A.... otherwise .... no other use.
To make / restore proper backups with Titanium.

there is no V4A for huawei no 64 bit driver available only JamesDSP
Rooting for me for adaway ,modify the sound,titanuim backup, edit the dpi , remove bloatware
full control for me
Ad blocking is achievable without root. For me, it's a few tweaks here and there like setting dpi and other stuff that is more about little annoyances than major issues.
Edit: so today I finally got around to rooting this thing. I have rooted, installed magisk, and installed xposed. I am really glad I did. Here is what I like so far:
Adaway - because of ads (can also disable ads without root though)
Vanced YouTube (doesn't require root, but worth mentioning)
Persistent dpi change... Smallest width stays at 451 after reboot
Smali Patcher - magisk module to disable flag_secure so I can screenshot anything
I'll add more when I remember it.
I was rooting every phone in the past because it was easy. Huawei is much more complicated and I didn't want to risk and brick the new phone. Now, after four months with Mate 10, I don't miss root, TWRP and custom ROMs because everything works fine out of the box.
Bloatware apps are uninstalled or disabled, depending on app.
I have ads in only one app for home workout, other 50 apps I use are free of ads.
I use Firefox with uBlock Origin add-on and Youtube Vanced, so no ads here too.
Stock Backup app works fine including auto-backup and I don't need Titanium Backup anymore.
Call recording works fine with Call Recorder - ACR app (even on Android 9 Pie) and I don't need the call recording TWRP patch.
That's all.

what do you do for v4a replacement without root?? because..... this is 32 bit 384kHz audio hardware and i think its potential is huge .... but without root.... its not worth it..
Sorry, I don't listen music on the phone.

Rooting for me :
Full control, using Tasker or Macrodroid - control wifi, radio, cellular, screen, battery charging, etc. so many
Adaway - can use DNS66 for unrooted phones
Full Backups using Titanium or Migrate, moving files - Google backup is not so bad these days though
Nandroid Backups - oh yeah, no fear of disasters
Kernel control - Kernel Adiutor, Ex Kernel Manager, LSpeed, etc.
Apps2SD Pro
I don't use custom roms on my work phones, only on phones for fooling around
Anyway, Huawei Mate 10 not too bad at its unrooted stock with some additional apps like Macrodroid, Gesture Control, Nova Launcher, Greenify, Solid Explorer, Smart Touch Pro.
On this phone, it's a good one that I don't miss the root stuff enough (except for Nandroid backups) to pay Funky Huawei to unlock the bootloader. For their price, I can just add a bit more to get a good Xiaomi phone, and can root at will.

Question Anyone (rooted) able to get fingerprint working in the Chase app?

I've done all the stuff recommend for passing safetynet in the guide for rooting, Google pay and Netflix work (gotta sideload Netflix).
But Chase gives me warnings about root and also won't allow fingerprint sensor.
Anyone got Chase working? Bonus: also get Amazon Prime Video working.
I used magiskHide with chase and chase does not detect root.
Fingerprint is tricky. In older versions you could kill the app and keep relaunching until it allows you to enter your fingerprint. I think the app recently updated, so you would have to clear the chase app data, relogin, then try registering your fingerprint within the app. If it fails, just kill the chase app, relaunch and try again. The key is clearing the Chase app data.
For a different banking app, I had to add it to the Magisk deny list to use my fingerprint.
My other apps like capitalone and E-Trade work ok but Chase refuses to for some reason.

Is magiskHide th same thing as hiding magisk in th magisk settings, so it has a different name and no app icon? If not, I'm not familiar with magiskHide.

Which deny list? I have Magisk hide enabled for it, but still doesn't work. Says "It looks like this isn't working right now. Please try again later" when turning on fingerprint sign-in in the app.
P.S. I'm on Pixel 4a experiencing the same issue.

How are you using magiskhide? As far as I'm aware it doesn't exist on recent versions of magisk for the pixel 6.

Chase has really good fraud protections in place be it on their credit cards or accounts. If there is fraud on your account they bear the responsibility and will make good almost to the penny IIRC. That being said they also have a tech department that is very aware what a rooted device could do to an account if the devices is compromised. Therefore, it's not a good idea to use Chase app for banking purposes if you are rooted. It's really for your protection although I know it sometimes doesn't feel that way. As for now you can use it on an unlocked bootloader but root will kick it out. Perhaps in the future there will be a mod that Chase won't detect and by the same token they might not allow unlocked bootloaders either.

I can use the app though.
Some features are disabled (it doesn't specific which ones), and fingerprint doesn't work, but otherwise I can use the app.
Also th idea that a rooted device is dangerous is a meme that I don't take seriously. Computers have had way more freedom than even a rooted mobile device, and we've been doing banking on them for longer and even into the current year.

Yeah I know it's not a popular position especially in this community. Computers are not mobile though for the most part. Open wifi can be problematic on both platforms. Using a VPN mitigates some of that which I use religiously. I still though won't bank on an unknown network. But I do get your point.

I'm not sure I understand the point here. You can log in and do everything on your rooted phone if you go in through a browser. What's the difference between that and their dedicated app? Also, I'm pretty sure all major credit card companies have full fraud protection/pay you back everything. Not sure why chase would be special.

Yeah I'm not sure what the difference is or where their liability attorneys stand.. As I said it's not a popular position but I also don't want to deal with banking issues so I avoid anything that might go against that. To each their own.
Try turning off USB debugging if you have it enabled. My banking app would not load with it on.

Question Did not root

I rooted all of the phones I have had since my first Android phone. However, a few apps that I use either would not work or would not work correctly with root, even when it was possible to still use Magisk hide.
Meanwhile, the only thing I was actually doing that needed root was using an adblocker, so I decided to try using this new Pixel 6 without root.
I have to say that I do miss having an adblocker.
Try the Brave browser, it will take care of website ads at least.

Nothing beats a true hosts adblocker. Works universally. Also nothing beats being able to perform a full proper backup of your phone in case something happens. And finally, nothing beats being able to rid your phone of all that "gapps" spyware/tracking/backdoors.
As you can tell, I'm an advocate for root. But weild it with responsibility.
Search 'DNS' in settings. Then enter 'dns.adguard.com' into 'Private DNS' and you'll have onboard adblocking!
I am also in the position you are as I have rooted all my phones since HTC Desire, primarily as I hate ads. This is a lifesaver and means I don't need root for the first time.

Question Magisk (root): Knox warranty void and Samsung Pay. Is it worth it?

Hi guys,
I got my S22+ few days back. My previous device was rooted OnePlus 5.
I was planning to root S22+ too, but then I seen that there is some kind of e-fuse in the device to mark is as Warranty void.
This causes device to be permanently marked as unlocked, Knox will be disabled and Samsung Pay + some other features will stop working forever.
Is this true even if I want only Magisk systemless root? I was using Google Pay on my OnePlus 5 what was also rooted by Magisk.
Samsung Pay looks promising to me, because I moved to Samsung ecosystem also with buying new Samsung watches and I would like to use it at 100% potential.
What would you recommend me? Root or leave as is? I personally need the root just to be able to remove bloatware, restore apps with data, disable ads in some games and have ability to use e.g CLI (Web server and things like this, occosionaly)
PS: Google Pay, banking apps etc. will still work even with Knox disabled, or not? They were working on the OnePlus 5

If you want your device to function as if it's stock, then leave it stock. If you're willing to compromise some features for the sake of having root, then root away. "Pay to play" is essentially the bottom line of all modifications, whether software or hardware. Losing the ability to use some features is always a risk when you modify a device, including root.

I just do not understand why Knox and Samsung Pay gets disabled forever... Thats kinda Apple style of doing stuff seems to me...
Is there any other way of restoring backups with data without root btw? I see that Helium and oandbackup are deprecated

Ah. Well, Android has always incorporated application segregation, where any one app cannot access data belonging to another app, with the exception of common storage (such as photos/media) or certain system information (location, call history, messages, etc). Therefore, it's not possible for an application such as Swift to backup app data without root.
Whether or not rooting your device will trip Knox is another question entirely, one that I unfortunately do not have the answer to; I haven't been active in the Samsung scene for quite some time. I would assume that it does, given how it's worked in the past.
Edit: I'd like to point out that it may be possible to pass SafetyNet after rooting by using Magisk modules such as Universal SafetyNet Fix and MagiskHide Props Config, but there are no guarantees. This may also only work for applications that depend on CTS and basic integrity, so while GPay may work, Samsung Pay may not.
I had my previous S8+ rooted and that caused knox to be tripped (0x1) and recently my company decided to start using Intune from Microsoft to separate work and personal data but Intune kept complaining about the fact that my device was no longer 'official'. I never found a way to bypass that (even though Google Pay and my banking app was working with Magisk). I ended up buyiung a new phone (S22+) and decided to not root anymore or use custom roms.
There was an ongoing Github to attempt to root S22 without tripping Knox, they were able to get SE Linux permissive but that's pretty much it for now. They said that Samsung security (DEFEX) is blocking them from gaining root but maybe at some point someone will succeed in breaking that security. That being said it only works on march patch and if you've updated to may patch or above it's undoable at all because you can't even downgrade

Question Apps don't work after root

Hello, I root my edge 40 pro with magisk. Now some apps (mostly banking apps) don't work.
If it's possible to hidden the root for this apps?
Check if Play Protect certification is on?
There stay "device It is not certified"
Sorry, now i find it. It's on!
See this thread. GPay/Wallet won't work if your device is not passing BASIC and DEVICE_INTEGRITY responses.
Third party banking apps might use other methods to detect root.
