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
- If you need stock ROM, refer to useful links below. Use Huawei Update Extractor to extract the individual partitions from the ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

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.

Enjoy your Mate!
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?

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

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?

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.

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!

Hey i just received this device today,. have you had any luck yet?
Tab E 10
The key to root is always the boot.img file of the device , or a device-specific twrp ! For the X 104 F i did not find a twrp on the net . This means you have to get the boot.img and go with Magisk !
- download and start on your laptop "lenovo moto smart assistant "
- connect the tab and go to "rescue" , there choose your precise model
- follow the instructions ......the LMSA starts to download a rescue file in .zip format
- once the download (app 1GB) is finished , stop the process
- now the TB_X104F_S100020_180831_ROW_DCC.zip is on your laptop
- open menu in the upper left corner and under "Download center " you will be pointed to the location of the .zip file on your laptop
- open the zip and there is your boot.img , next to other useful files
- extract the boot.img to harddrive and follow the instructions to install Magisk ........done , you are root ! (the instructions for Magisk you find on the net )
Do you have detailed step-by-step instructions on how you created the recovery and used it with Magisk to root the device? Did you also install a custom ROM?

You don't have to have a custom recovery to root it. Just use the above steps get the boot img then patch it with magisk and replace the stock boot img in the download file through the Lenovo tool and recover your device and you now have a rooted tablet. Just install magisk manager and it will install magisk because the boot img is already patched

Hello!
I am looking for working root or TWRP file for my Samsung A20S (SM-A207F), Andriod 10. I have searched the web and found TWRP but it resulted in Bricking my phone. Please if anyone have a working link of these files share them. Thanks in advance
@xeechemist
To clarify things:
Rooting a phone's Android means giving user and/or applications administrative rights - superuser access, will say unrestricted access to Android's system files. The related executable is su. It's comparable to turn of UAC in Windows 10. To root Android for example by means of SuperSu you simply perform a
Code:
adb sideload <path-to-supersu.zip>
what allows to flash "zipped" unsigned ROMs / Mods.
BTW: Rooting a phone's Android doesn't necessarily require to have su binary present on phone or even phone's boot-loader unlocked: you always can temporarily root any Android, what doesn't need Android system files get touched.
TWRP is a touch-enabled Custom Recovery, used to replace phone's Stock Recovery what is press-a-button driven. Once installed, TWRP can't get uninstalled: flashing phone's Stock ROM and/or a Custom ROM is needed to get rid off of it. Hence it's far better to not install TWRP but instead boot into it.
I am not expert in andriod system, please write the steps how to root andriod 10 and if possible how can I install TWRP if it's not available on TWRP website for my device. Thanks
@xeechemist
Wondering why then you fiddle around with this? And, I already told you a method how to root Android.
BTW: Never have used TWRP and never will make use of it: It's as unnecessary to me as a goitre.

To clarify things:
Rooting a phone's Android means giving user and/or applications administrative rights - superuser access, will say unrestricted access to Android's system files. The related executable is su. It's comparable to turn of UAC in Windows 10. To root Android for example by means of SuperSu you simply perform a
Code:
adb sideload <path-to-supersu.zip>
what allows to flash "zipped" unsigned ROMs / Mods.
BTW: Rooting a phone's Android doesn't necessarily require to have su binary present on phone or even phone's boot-loader unlocked: you always can temporarily root any Android, what doesn't need Android system files get touched.
TWRP is a touch-enabled Custom Recovery, used to replace phone's Stock Recovery what is press-a-button driven. Once installed, TWRP can't get uninstalled: flashing phone's Stock ROM and/or a Custom ROM is needed to get rid off of it. Hence it's far better to not install TWRP but instead boot into it.

I'm tired of trying to change this rom for a20s , in fact i cant find any !

THANKS IN ADVANCE !
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...
forum.xda-developers.com
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 !
Hi, I've just bought a Cubot P50, it's a Chinese brand and seems more than decent for the price, I've rooted it with Magisk and I want to install TWRP on it but can't find anything for that brand. Has anyone came across a TWRP that might work on it?

I have the same phone how did you root it ? If there a guide that is safe to use ? Thank you
Unlock the bootloader first, this step will factory reset your phone https://romprovider.com/unlock-bootloader-android/
On your PC:
1. Install Fastboot driver
2. Install MediaTek_Preloader_USB_VCOM_Drivers_Setup_Signed
3. Extract platform-tools
4. On your phone, Enable Developer Options, USB debugging and OEM Unlocking
5. Unlock bootloader (this step will factory reset your phone): Phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt on PC > fastboot devices > fastboot flashing unlock. Note this will cause the phone to show the "Orange State" warning on boot up. You can ignore this or remove it later.
(If device is unauthorised in ADB or Fastboot, go to Developer Options on phone, revoke USB debugging authorisation, disable then enable USB debugging. You should now get an authorisation confirmation dialogue when you try to connect with ADB/Fastboot. If not, type "adb kill-server", then "adb devices" or "adb start-server" in the command prompt).
6. Place boot.img on phone with USB file transfer (either from stock ROM, or read from phone using SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1924_Win) and patch it with Magisk v5.2. NO need to patch vbmeta.img
7. Transfer patched boot.img back to PC
8. Flash the patched boot.img to phone either with SP Flash Tool or Fastboot command in ADB (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Take care here, make sure it's the right image going to the right location and that ALL other files are de-selected, especially the preloader file, always de-select this when flashing any firmware unless you know what you're doing!
Phone is now rooted.

It is possible that in the future, developers may create custom ROMs and TWRP recoveries for the device, especially if it becomes popular among the Android community.
If a custom ROM and TWRP recovery becomes available for your device in the future, you will be able to flash it by following the instructions provided by the developer. Keep in mind that installing custom ROMs and recoveries comes with some risks, and it is important to backup your data and follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your device.

Thanks for your work on the Cubot phone .Im a fan of them also. I found that twrp recovery 3.40 works on the Note 20/20Pro you just have to flash vbmeta BEFORE and AFTER you flash twrp to the device. Im also seeing separate websites claiming twrp 3.40 is also used with the Cubot P40 model. I dont see why it wouldnt work with the P50. Its worth a shot. Also theres alot more "familiars" with Mediatek phones like these in Hovatek forum. Since you already have information on how to root maybe consider starting your own P50 thread over there.

I get it, but I have to flash the .bin to remove the yellow/red state on boot. I don't know how to install the lk.bin file. If you can help me. Thank you.
Ah I see, you're rooting the phone first. Ok I've just checked my own notes on this, so, if you have edited the lk.img file as described in that Hovatek thread, then do as follows:
When flashing with SP Flash Tool, make sure the correct lk.img file is chosen as SP Flash Tool chooses lk-verified.img by default (click along to the right of the file list under "Location" and choose your edited lk.img file here).
OR, flash with ADB (fastboot flash lk lk.img).
Then install Magisk on your phone if you haven't already.
boot.img is for rooting the phone, lk.img is only to remove the orange state message and the 5 second delay when the phone boots, it does not actually remove it's orange state and is not needed for the phone to be rooted.
To un-root, you should just flash the original boot.img and lk-verified.img from the stock firmware ROM file.

Good morning. Thank you for the information given.
I wanted to ask: is it necessary or useful to install an antivirus on your smartphone now that it's been rooted? Thank you.
I haven't but that's just down to personal choice really. It's certainly useful if you like to try stuff from unknown sources, although personally I've rarely encountered viruses on Android. I'm not saying they don't exist though.
Have you successfully rooted your phone then? What about TWRP, have you tried that yet?
