[BOOT] No Force Encryption Boot images

Here are stock Mate 9 boot images that are modified to not force encryption. You can flash these in fastboot or TWRP, just select Image in TWRP then flash. An insecure boot image lets you use adb remount, and adb push or adb pull etc. to /system and its contents. Basically it's using ADB as root. I'll modify more upon request provided you link me to the boot you want modified.
ALL VERSIONS:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=152685
*To remove encryption after flashing to stock , boot into TWRP, format data, reboot recovery then flash a decrypted boot.img. If you're running a stock modified kernel, formatting data alone will not remove encryption. The idea is to always be decrypted. Never boot the system with a stock unmodified boot.img or it will encrypt your internal storage. So if you're fastboot flashing back to stock from another rom, flash a modified boot.img instead of the stock one*​

In the full root thread it was advised to format data first and then flash modified boot image. In this OP it says to flash modified boot image and then format data. Does the order matter or can you do it both ways? Thanks

The order doesn't matter as long as you Format Data and have the Decrypted boot.img installed you're good. I updated the OP with the same directions as the full root thread so there is no confusion. Thanks for pointing this out.

Ok thanks

Just to clarify. After you Format Data your data partition gets decrypted until first boot.
That's why you have to flash the decrypted boot.img before booting.

Because there is no Firmware update for it yet.
If you have TWRP, please backup boot and post here

Need stock H81120v boot.img

The only .zip I can find already has a modified boot.img that is rooted. I'm looking for a bone stock one so that I can apply the H21120x OTA via TWRP. (I guess I Could just write out the boot.img update from the updater-script).
Anyone have a copy of this from their device or a way to get it from a KDZ?

That worked!
I'd also recommend not doing it the way I did (modifying the update.zip and flashing stock boot.img) it seems to have broken Bluetooth.

I was able to get a H81120V boot.img extracted from the kdz, but it looks like flashing the update.zip through TWRP breaks bluetooth.

You can extract it yourself from the stock image. Also please use better thread titles.
Also here are latest August boot images:

You need the August one or the latest November one, or maybe the Pie one?
Still, just download the entire ROM (thread in the Discussion) and just unzip it and extract what you need.

Need help

Are there any workarounds?

Patch the image file and flash using fastboot. Or report the issue to Magisk GitHub repo for permanant fix.
