This guide provides all the steps and patches required to root the Stock system and having Xposed installed while maintaining SafetyNet (Android Pay, Pokemon Go, etc) compatibility. There are some problems of this method that Magisk is supposed to fix, however the latest Magisk v10 is not supporting our stock ROM yet.
The prerequisites of this guide is to have the bootloader unlocked and TWRP recovery.
DOWNLOADS
The recipe require the following ingredients to be downloaded to your internal or external storage:
1. TWRP 3.0.3 (This is the last release at this moment). more info in the Official Thread. Thanks to @jcadduono . TWRP 3.0.2 can't succesfully flash SuperSU 2.79
2. Default Stock ROM for your phone (Required only if you have modified your system or boot partition). You can download them from this thread. Thanks to @DrakenFX . You can alsouse any other custom ROM based on stock such as ZADMix or HelsAx7 SubMix (both tested).
3. SuperSU v2.79. more info in its official thread.
4. SUhide 0.55. More info in its official thread. Thanks to Chainfire.
5. SafetyNet-KCAL Kernel patch, thanks to @jcadduono also for this one!
6. Xposed v86.2 So far only this version is compatible with SUhide.
7. Material Design Xposed Manager app by DVDandroid. More info about this release in its official thread.
8. Root Switch 1.3.3.2 app. Thanks to shakalaca. More info in its official thread.
INSTALLATION
1. Do a backup of your system, I recommend Boot+System+Data partitions. The next steps will modify at least your boot and data partitions, and some Xposed modules will modify also your system partition.
2. If you already have TWRP 3.0.3 then just boot to recovery and proceed to step 3. If you are still using TWRP 3.0.2 please upgrade to the latest TWRP 3.0.3 and reboot to recovery again.
3. I recommend to flash the default Boot and System Partitions and reboot directly to recovery. You can also use any other custom ROM based on the stock ROM such as ZADMix or HelsAx7.
4. All this step must be done without leaving TWRP. Flash SuperSU 2.79 adding also the zips for SUhide 0.55, Xposed v86.2 and the SafetyNet Kernel patch in that order. They must be flashed together. Without leaving TWRP, navigate from the main menu to Advanced > Terminal, introduce the command reboot disemmcwp and the system will reboot by itself once or twice while configuring the settings for SuperSU. Do not be alarmed.
5. Install Xposed Manager and Root Switch apps.
6. Now you have your system fully rooted and you can now install Xposed modules. However you will see the test app SafetyNet Helper reporting a validation failure. Do not worry about it anymore! When you want to initiate a SafetyNet sensitive application (Android Pay or Pokemon Go among others), just open Root Switch and disable root, no need to reboot. SafetyNet will pass and all your apps will work. You can see that Xposed continue working even after disabling root since it was started before. Do not forget to enable root again otherwise new apps requiring root won't load.
Magisk v10+ promises auto root hide per app, but sadly our stock ROM is not yet supported and the method psoposed here requires the user to disable root before loading any SafetyNet protected app.
Enjoy

Has anyone managed to get this working on A2017G/B09? I've had a few attempts, forcing systemless SuperSU, but it hangs at the "AXON" boot screen

At what point of the guide is it hanging at the Axon boot screen? after step 4? Have you ensured that the SafetyNet patch is the last thing you flashed before boot?
I just did this on my B29 A2017U phone and it worked perfectly, can switch root on and off with the root switcher and Safetynet passes fully with root set to off.
My previous attempts were all thwarted by the bootloader being unlocked, so that patch to the kernel works great. I'll be backing this up with twrp and getting a little more adventurous (really want to try the BeastMode kernel) soon.
Much thanks for making it nice and simple, Oki !

I'm on the same configuration (A2017G B09). I did a step by step installation/reboot/installation/reboot. The Problem is with suhide. After installing suhide the boot process will stick in the Axon screen.

You do not have to reboot after SUhide. The files at step 4 have to be flashed together without leaving TWRP otherwise it won't work.

In theory you're right. But how do like a bugfix to be done if you don't know at which point you're failing?!?

The last patch fixes some problems created by SuperSU, SUhide and Xposed. This is why all the patches in step 4 have to be flashed together without leaving TWRP and in the specified order, otherwise it wont work on stock ROMs.
That looks way complicated. What's wrong with the easy way of flashing Magisk V10 + Phh Superuser r266? This has worked on all my devices since the November security patch broke suhide. Magisk now takes care of the flag to hide bootloader unlock status so no need for a kernel patch too. Then flash systemless Xposed by topjohnwu if you want that and you can turn it on and off in Magisk Manager if you want to use Android Pay, play Pokemon Go, etc.
Hi,
I have a A2017G running B08, already unlocked and witch SuperSU 2.79. Just the older version of TWRP.
Can I just upgrade the TWRP and proceed with step 4 and so on? Hate to go back to stock...
Tia,
Cheers,

For some reason Magisk is not compatible with the Axon 7 kernel. Not yet. This is why it is so complicated and requires a guide. Last time I tested this was yesterday using Magisk v10.2 and phh Superuser r2, and they still failed to root the system.

Yes you can try to begin with step 4 with SUhide on. It should work. However I recommend you to upgrade to TWRP 3.0.3 and do the whole step 4.

Not quite sure I understand you.
I've tried doing this on A2017g, b09;
0) wipe data/system/boot
1) flash stock Boot stack + System stack zips in twrp 3.0.3 unlocked bl
2) rebooted straight to recovery
3) flashing SuperSU wrote to system so I had to start again but forcing systemless (in terminal; echo "SYSTEMLESS">/data/.SuperSU
4) flash supersu, suhide
5) flash xposed
6) flash the safety net/kcal patch
7) reboot
And I still get stuck on "AXON" boot screen

SuperSU 2.79 installs in systemless mode, no need to set systemless.
Regarding your problem, please try this. Instead of rebooting using the button, open the terminal in TWRP and type "reboot disemmcwp". I hope this was your problem.
This doesn't work for me. Steps:
1. complete wipe
2. install b29 boot stack
2. install b29 system
3. install super su 2.79
4. install su hide 0.55
su hide comes back with an error that says it can't find super su and I should make sure I've installed 2.79 or greater.
edit:
I missed the part in step 3 where you say "reboot directly to recovery". I tried that, but it rebooted to system instead and now I lost TWRP entirely.
edit2:
fastboot flashed twrp again and once in recovery I was able to get through step 4
edit3:
Now it's just stuck on the axon logo. Tried force reboot and the same thing.
Are you sure you tested this from scratch? I have the US version of the axon 7.

Don't install beast mode yet, from my experience all the steps from op worked fine until I flashed beast mode and it broke safetynet.

Are you using TWRP 3.0.3? SuperSU 2.79 installs fine and in systemless mode when flashed with the latest TWRP. TWRP 3.0.2 can't flash it properly.
Yes this method has been tested, not only with stock Roms, but also with ZADmix.
If you are doing a complete cleanup before flashing the ROM, boot into system at least once after installing the ROM so the data tree structure is setup. You actually don't need a full cleanup.

Please ensure you have flashed the right stock ROM for your unit. I have modified Ingredient 2 in the OP since it was highly misleading. Ensure you have unlocked bootloader, TWRP 3.0.3 and flash the right ROM for your system: ZTE_A2017GV1.0.0B09_BootStack_by_tron1.zip and ZTE_A2017GV1.0.0B09_StockSystem_by_tron1.zip. And boot to the system at least once before continue to the rest of the procedure.
Hi
I have E2303 with 6.0.1 unbloated from this forum. It's cool rom but my SuperSU cant be updated via recovery or settings. I can't unroot or delete this app by settings(nothing happens). Is there any way to unroot phone (i want to play pokemon go XD) except going back to stock rom? (bootloader is unlocked, TWRP)
You can unroot by flashing stock boot.img, but TWRP will stay there. So you would only lose SuperSU.
If you want Pokemon GO, download xposed installer, and install Xposed, and download exstension to hide root

Can anyone help me install ashyx's TWRP with magisk instead of super su? I've seen that it's been done on the TWRP thread.
I've installed TWRP, then flashed magisk but its not working, seems like I need to patch the boot.img but from my basic understanding that negates the point of magisk right?
Thanks in advance.

You have to install the Magisk zip with TWRP then the Magisk manager apk.
@sp4r3h did you manage to get it working?
@ashyx can you give me some more details?
This is what I tried.
1. Restore stock firmware
2. Flash TWRP
3. Choose Read Only
4. Install zip - Magisk
5. Reboot
Then I get the verification failed error. But from my understanding.. if I use your dm-verify patch then I can't pass SafetyNet?
Which kind of negates the point of magisk?
Thanks for your time.
Follow instructions in first post and flash magisk.zip instead of supersu.

Magisk 12 can't pass SafetyNet anymore.

Google Tweaked Some S**ta again
So What you Gotta do is -
1. Goto Magsisk Manager Settings
2. Enable Core Only and Magisk Hide and select the app (Also Disable the other two adblocker and BusyBox)
3. Reboot
Worked for me (Verified Snapchat and Then Undo all got root back)
But I did one my S4mini
I was just surfing and saw the post and Share it with you guys

Hi. This might be interesting for ALL.. After me Tab hangs, I downloaded the latest OFFICIAL ROM from Samsung,
in my case "DBT-T825XXU1AQF3-20170713092645.zip"...
Extract and place AP, BL, CP and CSC. I decided not to use CSC-home.
Now, reboot.
Activate the developer-option and activate USB Debug.
Restart phone in download-mode (you will need 3 hands Menu, vol-down, power keys at the same time..
Again use odin. This time flash TWRP "twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t825_AQD6.tar" as AP.
In ODIN, you might select the auto-reboot option because after flashing, you will only need to press
menu + vol-up keys.. Easier with two hands
Now proceed as already described in this thread (format data, wipe etc...) for rooting your tab, BUT (!!!!) do not use supersu. Use magisk "Magisk-v14.0.zip".
After flashing magisk, flash "no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip".
Now reboot and enjoy a rooted tab. This does not modify the knox counter, warranty is not void. I still use the original samsung firmware..
Lets see if a suitable custom ROM will show up soon. Would be nice if Lineage was available, for tab S3 and phone S8..

Ok brother. I will try
I have a pocophone f1 which I attempted to root.
I already unlocked it using my MI account with MI unlocker on windows.
I installed TWRP 3.2, as well as SupersU.zip in TWRP.
I go and check root access using various root checker apps from playstore but i have no root access. One of them says that my supersu $Path does not contain a binary.
I tried uninstalling superSu using the supersSu uninstaller.zip in TWRP and then attempted flashing magisk, but i got the error about patched boot image. I wiped everything and then flashed stock global ROM for miui 11. Still i get the patched boot image when trying to flash magisk.
Any ideas?

It's clear that something has gone very wrong. Instead of wasting time with troubleshooting, I recommend that you restore the phone to its original state via re-flashing its Stock ROM and when that's done retry to root its Android the proper way.
FYI: Once TWRP got installed on phone, you can't get rid off of it unless you re-flash phone's Stock ROM.

1. Flash this global stock miui with TWRP. https://c.mi.com/in/miuidownload/detail?device=1700355 (if this is not the official ROM please correct me, there are a lot of fakes there)
2. Flash Magisk with TWRP. Download and flash it from this github repo. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT FROM ANYWHERE ELSE!
