SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED...
Just received my BL code and I'm so excited to root my P30 Pro. I will share my experience about rooting here.
Complete Guide with required tools for BL Unlocking & Rooting with Magisk. Thanks to @Athanatos81
I don't want to write whole thread here that's why just share direct thread link.
====================================================================================================
ROOTING GUIDE & TOOLS CLICK HERE
====================================================================================================
ROOT WITH BELOW MENTIONED STEPS:
i. BL Unlock code needed for BL Unlocking.
ii. Patch your RAMDIS with magisk 7.2.0 manager.
iii. Flash patched img with fastboot commands mentioned below.
adb devices
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
iv. Remove USB cable press volume + button until it boot.
That's it...Safety Net Passed
====================================================================================================
FIRMWARE UPDATE WITH EMUI FLASHER TOOL:
Successfully updated firmware with " EMUI Flasher 1.1 " tool.

SIDE EFFECTS OF ROOTING...!
+ Stock Phone app is not opening, force close.
+ Stock Google Message not receive or send any message, force close.
solution~) Backup your sms and contact first.
This solved messages issue :
adb shell
su
rm /data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/*
rm /data/user/0/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/*
Go back to phone and wipe data of Phone and Messages
Go back to command prompt and:
reboot recovery
- Root explorer not mount system as R/W even granted root permission, so we can't copy, past or delete files in system partition - No solution till now, Due to EROFS (Extendable Read Only File System) working on it.

That guide will likely not work, due to fastboot being disabled.
How much was the bl unlock code?
See my thread in this section. I've already tried this method several days before. Does not work. Seems like EMUI 9.1 is a lot different than EMUI 9.0

Exactly. The OP shouldn't be making threads that make it sound like we have the ability to root when he even admits he's not done it yet.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79681506&postcount=9
Solution is
Backup all, then factory reset. After reset don't allow phone to boot, immediately go to fastboot and flash recovery_ramdisk with magisk. Then reboot and wait for phone first init. It tells that root is found, press ok.
After that we hawe root and SMS working/QUOTE]
Might be worth trying for someone that has their bootloader unlocked and is willing to factory reset, provided the OPs link with instructions for creating the modified recovery_ramdisk works. I just ordered my code yesterday so I'm not expecting it until the end of the week to do any testing.
Recovery mode should still work, even if the phone starts boot looping. It's on a separate partition and downloads a fresh copy of the firmware from Huawei to install. It saved me a few times when experimenting in the early days of the P20 pro

@op - Did you get rooted?
Just Tried Again,
Extracted the Ramdisk from 153 (C185) Update file using Update Extractor
Patched using Magisk 19.3 - Magisk Manager
Flashed in Fastboot after a Factory Reset, Flashing went fine. No Errors.
Phone boots fine in Normal Mode, setup done - booted to System (Root Not available)
Turned off - Boot in Recovery Combination - Goes into Bootloop. After 3 Bootloops, Phone boots to eRecovery for Restore.
EMUI 9.1 doesn't support the Magisk patch method used for EMUI 9.0.
Any other ideas guys?

Fastboot works once the bootloader is unlocked? I thought it was locked or disabled.

I can help experimenting since the recovery partition seems quite save. However, how do i make a backup of everything? All apps, their settings, icons on home screen etc?
Would this work? https://9to5google.com/2017/11/04/how-to-backup-restore-android-device-data-android-basics/
Hell everyone thanks for sharing your experience here. I want to clarify that I'm not a developer, what I have learnt from xda I shared here. I am a guy who wants to root his phone no more mods needed. These are the experience we have to share with each other. Will will find a way... I want to be rooted at any cost.
See my attachment, there is a hope. Magisk creator is trying hard for EMUI, every new build comes with EMUI bug fixes.
Thanks again for sharing rooting experience:good:

Nah, Bootloader was always accessible to me. There was no issue with it.
Try Uninstalling Hisuite and installing Google ADB. Hisuite installs a modified version called HDB which might mess up things sometimes.
For a complete backup without root, HiSuite is the only way.
OK, Tried with 7.2.0 and it worked!
Root is working guys. Safety Net is Passed!

Does anyone knows how to install viper sound or any other app that actually and truly makes it louder?

Flash update_full_base.zip (FULL OTA) firmware with EMUI Flasher v1.1
Hy guys,
Can someone with unlocked bootloader and root install EMUI Flasher and flash the update_full_base.zip (FULL OTA) on device and report if it's working? Below you'll find the MEGA mirror for latest firmware v.176 downloaded from Firmware Finder.
MEGA link for VOG-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.176 - MD5 checksum value 4dbe96c1b4fbc29aaa67cae2f3778517
LINK for [GUIDE] Manual updating/Firmware Collection/Rooting and EMUI Flasher ( thanks @OldDroid )
BEFORE proceding, make sure to patch RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img from v176 firmware while you are rooted on current firmware version.
REMEMBER that after succesfull firmware update you'll have to reflash the patched_boot.img to recovery_ramdisk (via fastboot) to regain root access.
Your userdata should stay intact - at least that was it back when i flashed on P20 Pro

As a start, this phone is great and I feel that it doesn’t need to be unlocked and rooted for a stable and long lasting daily use. However, unlock and root is almost a religion if you use Android phones
As a piece of info, big thanks to @raimondomartire, there is a thread for unlock, flash TWRP and root in the Mate 9 forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-huawei-mate-9-pro-unofficial-t3546976, which is however according to my experience not totally applicable for the M9Pro anymore. There are also several other threads on the Mate 9 forum. Many things can be shared between both phones, but not always. Be careful about what you are doing!
-----
General info and attentions:
- My phone is M9Pro LON-AL00 (All net version from Chinese Mainland); LON-L29 (International version) should also work.
- This thread applies for build LON-AL00C00B213. Can be also applicable for similar builds, but I couldn’t test. Please report.
- None of the current builds of TWRP (up to 3.1.0) can decrypt data partition by default, which means you could only format the data partition in TWRP in order to access it in recovery (for backup to and install from internal storage etc.). But after formatting, you have to flash Huawei’s special stock data back to data partition (/data/hw_init), otherwise several functions of Huawei ROM won’t work. Refer to this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71302827&postcount=627) or this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72497328&postcount=204). Thanks to @gm007 and @ante0
- There are several root methods which handles encrypted or decrypted data partition. I didn’t format the data partition, i.e. data is still encrypted. If you want to format the data partition, please refer to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986. Thanks to @eddmecha

Unlock bootloader:
There is enough info in the internet about unlocking M9Pro’s bootloader. Just a few points to mention:
- Generally, you can follow the steps in @raimondomartire thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-huawei-mate-9-pro-unofficial-t3546976). But unlike he describes in his thread, there is no OEM Unlock options in the developer options anymore. Just use ADB to unlock.
- FRP unlock is not required!
- Huawei enables now a 14-day limitation, where you can officially get the bootloader unlock code 14 days after you first activate your Huawei ID on your phone and have logged in using your Huawei ID 14 CONSECUTIVE days.
- To go around this limitation, you can use dc-unlocker to get the bootloader code immediately. Google yourself
-----
Flash TWRP:
- Still, you can follow the steps in @raimondomartire thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-huawei-mate-9-pro-unofficial-t3546976).
- The image from this thread is 3.0.3, which has some bugs built in, especially when flashing SuperSU.
- You could use TWRP 3.1.0-1 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-huawei-mate-9-t3515617, but this one seems to have problem to be recognized as ADB device in recovery.
- There is a version 3.0.2 for Mate 9, which seems to have problem mounting USB-OTG.
- If your data partition is encrypted, you can only use ADB sideload or USB-OTG to install anything.
- If you want to do data wipe in TWRP, you have to flash Huawei’s special stock data back to data partition. See above general info and attentions.

Root:
Firstly, thanks to @ante0 for explaining different flags in the root methods: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72504501&postcount=210. Some more discussions between us are also around this post.
I also tried several other root tools on the market (mobilego, vroot, YoRoot, OneClickRoot, iRoot etc.), NONE of them works.
As mentioned, there are different root methods around for unlocking M9Pro, depending on if you want to format your data partition. For me, I didn’t format, and SuperSU works for me. And the mate_9_pro_root.zip from @raimondomartire thread didn’t work for me.
I followed the steps below:
1. Get TWRP 3.1.0-1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-huawei-mate-9-t3515617)
2. Disable fingerprint ID (I think it’s probably optional, but have read somewhere that fingerprint stops working after flashing root).
3. Flash stock boot image for B213D (in download section). I think it’s optional too, but if you have tried other methods before, you can do this step to make sure your boot is stock and clean
4. Flash TWRP 3.1.0-1
5. Flash SuperSU-v2.79-MATE9-init.d_support_no_decrypt-signed.zip (in download section) via USB-OTG (in TWRP the device is not recognized as an ADB device, hence no “ADB sideload”). Thanks to @ante0 for building this zip!
6. Reboot – phone will reboot itself twice and SuperSU.apk will be installed automatically
7. You could flash back to 3.0.3, if you want the ADB sideload function.

Just some clarification: (eventhough you wrote it's for AL00C00B213, which I missed xD)
Flashing stock boot is only needed if you're already rooted.
Boot image B213D is only for AL00C00. If you have a different model/build, use the boot image for that specific build:
Download your stock firmware from hwmt.ru and Huawei Update Extractor. Extract update.app from your firmware zip.
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extractor. Rightclick on BOOT and click on Extract selected.
Flash the extracted boot.img using fastboot in download mode (fastboot flash boot boot.img).
OEM Unlocking is required to be enabled. It's just not there in the chinese version (AL00). So check if it's there first and enable if it is.
Hi guys. Not sure if this is the right place to ask but how do I get rid of that annoying "your device is unlocked and can't be trusted....etc " msg?
I have a mate 9 pro and I want to flash twrp and to root it. I did it for some one plus, xiaomi, samsung so I have some experience. reading xda posts about the case of M9pro I understood that is not a simple path and I dont want to hard brick the phone. what precautions should I take?

any OTA after?
hi guys. You may or may not find this interesting. I certainly did. I'll post this in the mate 9 pro forum as well but i just thought i could get some ideas from as many of guys as possible seeying that theres a lot more posts here for mate 9 in general.
I have chinese version mate 9 pro that has been rebranded from AL00 to LON Spcseas and rooted. Build number b228. Anyway i recently saw in FF the new b229 so i downloaded all three files which had longer file names than usuall by the way. In twrp, the only file that was visable was the update.zip. So i renamed the hw and public zip files to what they would usually be named. Wiped data, and flashed all three files. Then reflashed supersu.
This is the interesting bit ( i think ). My imei numbers have changed, before flashing, the first imei number ended in 7 - now it ends with 4, the second imei number ended in 9 and now it ends with 7. Also, i now have a MEID number visable which was not there before and a section called android security patch level. Oddly enough im not getting any issues out of play store, im on play store right now and not a single problem regarding authentication. The build number is the same as well. As far as functionality goes, everything seems to be tip top, in fact everything seems to be working better, even unofficial exposed is working well. Only one thing isn't working properly. In phone manager there was a feature in the battery section that darkens the interface for everything to save power and prolong battery. That doesn't seem to be working anymore. In App - Permissions, the permissions is greyed out and it says no permissions requested.. Any thoughts or explenations guys??
Trying to flash another orginal stock rom
I bought a Mate 9 Pro, China Version (LON-AL00C00) want to install Mate 9 Pro, Asia Version (LON-L29C636) software on it. All explanations about Mate 9 Pro is for models which have SD Card. My Mate 9 Pro with dual sims and not containing a SD Card enrty.
I succesfully unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP but couldn't flash LON-L29C636 stock software. Because TWRP don't see update.zip file. Not only update.zip, any files I downloaded or copied before. When I put a OGT TWRP suddenly exits and phone restarts.:crying:
As you see I can't flash a zip file and ofcourse superuser zip file to root as well. I'm stuck in this triangle. Please give me a hand guys.
I can't root my phone. Because I can't view and locate any file of my phone. When I plug a ogt cable twrp exits and phone restarts. 6GB-128GB Dual Sim version

7.You could flash back to 3.0.3, if you want the ADB sideload function.

I unlocked bootloader but couldn't root. Anyway I wanted to rebrand my phone to Asia version. Now I'm done but not successful because there is no Google,frp locked, and version is test one.
I can't install twrp because frp lock don't allow it. Also twrp can't read 128 GB internal memory, so I needed to install from pc.
Is there anyway to resolve and install stock Oreo version to my Mate 9 Pro or do you suggest me to resolve it via paid services?

I've installed Oreo to Mate 9 Pro. If you have 128GB edition don't try to install anything from internal storage. That's it.

Rebranding is easy with HWOTA system if you will keep your phone EMUI 5.0 Nougat. And there is no risk if you make everything clearly.

1. Is there anyway to get back to full stock with relock bootaloder in case the device need to go to service center?
(assume unlock bootloader with dc-unlocker not huawei id one)
2. From question 1 what do i need to do or backup before root?
thnak you so much!

Yes you can always flash stock ROM as factory out, if you are not in Oreo.
And you can root it. It's your own protection to have a backup. I suggest you have, anyway it's up to you. You can loose all your data after root.
Hi, yersterday I used TWRP trying to install a newer firmware and I wiped system partition and now it does not boot because it doesn't have an OS. I was on EMUI 8 (636) trying to update the firmware.
Is there any way to flash a firmware via TWRP or Fastboot on EMUI 8 (i know partition names change on Oreo).
Thanks!
Hi guys I was able to root my P10 using magisk and the new treble project on oreo very easily.
All credit goes to @topjohnwu as he's the creator of Magisk and this method all i'm doing is sharing his work and adding the boot image for the P10
Requirements:
Your PC
P10 ON OREO B360 (this only works on oreo if you try to do it on nougat you could easely brick your device)
Bootloader Unlocked (?)
ADB & Fastboot
I actually don't know if you need to have your bootloader unlocked as it's using the treble project to update the boot partition.
I had mine unlocked when i did this.
Step 1:
Get your boot image from update files (huawei update extractor > settings > uncheck the first 3 checkboxes) here i have the boot image from my VTR-L29C432B360
Install the latest Magisk Manager apk from here.
Step 2:
Open Magisk Manager, go to Settings > Update Channel > Custom Update channel with this link http://goo.gl/jefZKH
after that check if the latest magisk update is v15.4 (as the time of posting this guide)
if it says Invalid Update Channel you probably misspelled the link
Step 3:
Copy your boot image to your internal storage/sd card
Go on Magisk Manager > Install > Patch boot image file > Select the boot image on your internal storage/sd card
when it finishes go on your pc and pull the patched boot image to your desktop or desired folder. it will be stored on your internal memory/MagiskManager/patched-boot.img
Step 4:
Open cmd on the same folder as your patched boot image
Go to fastboot (Power-off then Vol+ and Power)
now on cmd type
Code:
fastboot devices
should come as response a serial number and fastboot
this means your device is connected to you pc and on fastboot
after that type
Code:
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
it will flash the patched boot image
when it's done just reboot
and you're set!!
You'll have root with Magisk and pass safety net without a problem.

Thank you very much for this guide, worked like a charm.
I even have full SafetyNet back, incl. CTS. What I didn't have before I flashed the patched bootimage.
I'm just wondering why you suggest to modify the update channel? I got an error message anyway (and I didn't misspell it), so I changed it back to 'Stable' and had not problems.

well the modified channel update is one that @topjohnwu modified for huawei's treble enabled phones like the P10 so that we wouldn't have any problem with safety net or flashing the boot partition but if it worked for you it might work for others too

Oh, of course. Sorry, I meant with "not flashing with TWRP" that I didn't need to flash the zip for v16 manually, just install it within the app. But of course you need to install 15.4 first.

Can we flash TWRP 3.1.1 after rooting with Magisk ?
Big thankyou it worked like a charm
Doing this quick update because today, when trying to root my phone, bricked it several times and lost all app info
If you are using android 7.11, this guide works fine: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/how-to-root-zenfone-3-zoom-ze553kl-t3622256
If on android 8, SuperSU will brick your phone. Use Magisk instead:
- enable usb debug mode on your phone
- unlock bootloader
- plug phone into your computer
on your pc
- Download fastboot and adb:
* Windows: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
* macos: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
* linux: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
- download the latest Magisk unlock script from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases and copy it to a MicroSD or USB that you can attach to your phone. Look for Magisk, not Magisk Manager
- download twrp v 3.1.0-0-Z01H-20170408: https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w?E81jQTCD (this is from https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w, as described in the old root guide using twrp + supersu. It is supposed to be safe)
- `adb reboot bootloader`
- `fastboot flash recovery <path to twrp image downloaded>`
- `fastboot reboot`
Right now, you should probably backup your phone.
back on your phone:
- before booting, press volume up on the bootloader, there, select Recovery. Using fastboot to reboot into recovery might cause the stock recovery image to reflash
- if prompted to enable system modifications, allow it.
- If prompted to decrypt your data in TWRP, use the PIN you setup. If it doesn't work, I can't guarantee you won't brick our phone. Feeling brave enough? In case of brick keep reading, it is easy to restore your phone to stock Android 8 using official firmware.
- press install, choose the device attached to your phone that has Magisk-xxx.zip and select it
- flash the image and it should be OK
In case of brick or unsuccessful flash from SuperSU and without backup:
- Don't panic, like I did today
- download the latest firmware from Asus: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Zoom-ZE553KL/HelpDesk_BIOS/
- follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/manually-update-to-7-11-t3815703
- when the phone reboots, boot into recovery
- enable ADB sideload
- on your pc: `adb sideload <path to newest firmare>`
- now follow the root guide above before starting your phone
- ???
- profit
Note: commands using adb and fastboot assume you have put the contents from the downloaded platform tools in your PATH, else execute them from the directory in which they were extracted, for instance, on linux:
- `cd /home/$USER/Downloads`
- `unzip platform-tools-latest-linux.zip`
- `cd platform-tools`
- `./adb devices`
Bricked my phone.
in which step?
You should have access to fastboot, try the downgrade tutorial and install android 7 then imediately flash the latest image from ASUS

After the magisk install. It logged some "can't mount partition" errors, I tried to wipe, but do not worked.
It got stucked on Asus logo.
I did the unbrick tutorial.
This is strange. Magisk is supposed to patch the boot image and install its app (by the way, if you update magisk using the app, phone enters bootloop)
Anyway, I have encountered myself many problems when installing, but nothing like this. Bootloops and corruption message on bootloader yes, but I can't seem to recall anything about partitions not being mounted. If installing stock recovery image, boot image and system doesn't do the trick, in my experience it is either bad partitioning, although unlikely, because those procedures doesn't repartition anything, or bad internal storage.
But just to be sure, you should reflash stock 7.1 image (recovery, boot and system) with fastboot, enter stock recovery and wipe cache/factory reset. If your phone is physically healthy, this should work

I can't really help you there. This guide is supposed to work for those who are able to unlock bootloader using official asus tools. Never heard of unofficial unlock methods. It is possible that you have a hardware problem if you use those tools and they just don't work.

Have you used the latest official unlocking tool? I see there's a July 2019 version available.
If you are on an older version of Android (not Oreo) are you presently still getting OTA update prompts?
I tried this tool but no result.
is it possible to root ZE553KL without loosing user application's data? I have unrooted device, wanted to migrate telegram secret chats to new phone. it is doable but with rooted smartphone only. if rooting process is destructive I cannot migrate. if rooting is doable with preserving installed applications along with their data then there is a hope for successful migration.
does this method look promising or it is just fake method?

I can make roms and recoveries for this phone but anybody unlocked bootloader? Search for some hacks to unlock bootloader of this phone ?
It's impossible to patch and root Oppo A5s with your current version of Oppo A5s. But I think the other and only way to do that is to avoid the update security version that stops its users to bypass and root Oppo A5. So first, you will need to downgrade your current version. I have successfully patched the older version of stock firmware image of Oppo A5s named CPH1909_EX_11_A34 with latest Magisk Manager. Like usual, download, extract and patch the boot.img.
So the idea here is once you made yourself a patched file you can now use it flash in order to downgrade your device and make it rootable than ever. Then, you will need unlock it's bootloader in order install TWRP Recover to make stuffs flashable.
I'm sorry I can't put links in here yet because I'm a new registered acct here in xda. For the rest of the steps, just google "How to Downgrade Your Android Phone to a Previous Version".
I haven't completed the whole process yet but soon, I will in my free time. Hope it helps?
so, to sum it all up. its not possible to have an alternative rom (android 9 at all?) on this phone model? particular cph1909....

Do you have a telegram account?

Long story short, I rooted my N200 T-Mobile variant to A12 DE2118_11_C.15 (Full OTA) not a long time ago with no issues. However to be able to update to DE2118_11_C.16 (Incremental update, w/July 2022 Patch) I had to uninstall Magisk first, then update it to c.16. Now my phone is updated to c.16 but I am very unsure how to root it again to avoid bootloop;
1. Can I use c.15 stock boot image since c.16 was an incremental update? or I need c.16 version?
2. If c.16 boot image is already extracted please share.
3. If none above, how and where I can find the OTA file to extract payload.bin and then boot.img?
I would really appreciate if somebody help me with this, thank you.

The steps below is what I do since Android 12 update:
**Automatic system updates should be unchecked on Developer options.**
Prerequisites: Rooted with Magisk (v25.2 recommended) / Have stock boot image available.
Preparation:
A. Restore active slot boot img with stock boot on adb shell with root
ex) dd if=/sdcard/boot_a.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a
OR
B. Uninstall Magisk with Restore Image option if available
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**If you do A first and Direct Install with Magisk, then B option will be available.
1. Update OTA and DO NOT PRESS Restart Button.
2. Backup the new stock boot image. If your current boot is b, then new stock boot is a
ex) dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/boot_a.img
3. Patch the newly extracted stock boot with Magisk -> Reboot -> Reboot to fastboot
4. Flash the newly magisk patched image
ex) fastboot flash boot_a new_magisk_boot.img
5. Reboot
OR you can try to install Magisk with in-active slot option at Step #3, then restart with OTA, not with Magisk; however, I've been told that it sometimes makes an issue such as bootloop. Up to you.
follow A1.1 to get your boot.img.
[GUIDE] Root and keeping root options
Update 230526: Correct numbering of "B.1.1 Simple" to "B.1.2 Simple", use "OOS 13+" instead of "OOS 13" as OOS 13.1 is now available A. First time rooting This process is common across all options A.1 Flashing Magisk patched boot image There...

After your phone is rooted again, go in developer options and disable automatic system updates so it won't restart without your consent in future OTAs. when it asks for you to restart, go into the magisk app and press install and then "install to inactive slot". Then go back to the system update screen and press restart.
That's it. If you followed the steps correctly, your device should be updated and you should still have root!
Thank you both of you for your help and thorough explanation.
I suppose since I already restarted my device after update I have no chance with @lentm's method.
Now I'm going to follow what @justauserthatusesaphone posted and see what happens.
I will post the result here if somebody else is interested too.

Thank you for posting boot.img @lentm!
I was middle of what @justauserthatusesaphone posted when you attached the boot.img! So thank you very much being mindful of others!
However, just to learn more and be prepared for future updates I tried the other method and it worked perfectly! My device is now rooted with latest update thanks both of you guys!
Next I'm gonna use your method for another N200 which hasn't been updated yet and experience that one as well.

Could someone please tell me if it's possible to root this device running the latest July 5th update mentioned above without a pc ?
And if so where to find or how to do it ?!
I've been searching everywhere and have only come across a bunch of "one clock root options" that haven't worked .

One click root APKs don't have access to fastboot to flash a rooted boot.img, which is what you need to do for permanent root for newer Android devices. Also I wouldn't trust those anyway, most are not open source and might contain malware/ads/etc.
You can have a temporary root if your bootloader is unlocked by using a DSU, however if your bootloader has not been unlocked (which you need a PC to do) do NOT attempt to do this. Multiple people have reported bricking their devices attempting to do this so you have been warned.
All files on the DSU will be deleted when you discard the DSU since it is a different system image from the original. If you really know what you're doing you might be able to flash a Magisk rooted boot.img to the original system image from the DSU, I don't know how to do this. You can play around with making the DSU persist through reboots using this guide, I don't know if that works with updates or if all files will have to be discarded if you want to update. I recommend using DSU sideloader with a GSI from phhusson, when it says to run the shell script over ADB you can use a terminal app like Termux instead.

Thank you for your help !
I assume that since my bootloader is not unlocked and I don't have access to a pc I'm pretty much out of luck on rooting this device until I can get access to one .
Guess I'll have find a way to access one .
Much appreciated though !
