How to flash magisk on honor view 10 w/o recovery

So I've successfully rooted my view 10 however the dev department is dead currently and there isn't a custom recovery so my question is can I use something like flashify to flash it because I've installed magisk manager but don't want to go any further until I'm sure.

If you've used some other root method you'd first have to remove that.
After that you can use the Magisk Manager to patch a copy of your device's boot image which you can then flash manually.
Check the release thread for more installation instructions, and the installation and troubleshooting guide for general tips and tricks.

Your device's forum is the place for that, but I saw you already asked. Let's hope you get an answer.
Judging from this thread it should be possible to use the Huawei Update Extractor to get the boot image.

Yeah I found a tool that is supposed to do it on here as well as an app that is supposed to download the firmware, however so far after looking at a YouTube video about how to use it I've apparently not either done it correctly or haven't found the correct file because I've not seen the images. It says I need to find the update.app which I haven't found. I'll try again this evening when I get off work

Please can you explain further how you went about it?

One way is to use this img from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...stock-b122-t3730660/post75393193#post75393193 the other is through the tool they provide.

[GUIDE][ROOT] how to root your P9 LITE MINI

I did not find a subforum dedicated to P9 lite mini version so I will post this guide here , as I know that many users that have this phone wish to have it rooted but don't know how.
I apologise to mods in advance if this is wrong place to post this.
Before I start, I will tell you that I am not a programmer and that I just followed a guide to the letter that @txmt5 told me about. So all credits go to him.
Lets start:
0. Make sure that your phone has USB DEBUGGING enabled.
1. a) You will need unlocked bootloader. There is simple official solution to get unlock code by huawei. Just go to their website , UNLOCK tab and follow instructions.
b) Once you get unlock code just use this simple tool by @Mandrigan. BE WARNED : use only unlock bootloader option as other options may brick your phone.
There is also an option to use cmd but I found this one easier to follow and it worked anyway.
Once you unlock your bootloader your phone will give you a warning about it before every boot. This is normal for every device just that some keep silent about it
2. Just install magisk app by @topjohnwu from here. As you do not have costum recovery (as far as I know it is still not developed for our device) you will not be able to root it as usual but it will require additional steps.
3. Get an original unpatched version for your frimware from here. It is really important that you find a right one. It will use the same code that is written in your "update info" in settings so it is easy to find.
4. From the update.zip file you hopefully downloaded in step before you will need to extract BOOT.img file.
To do this use huawei update extractor app by @worstenbrood. I personally use version 0.9.9.5 and extracted only BOOT.img .
It may look like it hangs on full green bar once you extract it. If it hangs for more than 5 minutes it is safe to cancel it and take the BOOT.img file it created. This happened to me and it worked anyways.
5. Put the BOOT.img file from previous step on your device and use magisk on it. It will create patched_boot.img that you will transfer back to your PC
6. Download adb fastboot tools (put patched_boot.img from previous step inside that folder) and HiSuite (just for huawei drivers)
7. Connect your phone to your PC and go to fastboot tools folder (from previous step) and shift+right click anywhere in that folder and take open CMD window here option.
The commands are as follows :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
after it reboots input
Code:
adb fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Your device should be rooted now
You will have root permission but you will not be able to use any other fancy magisk repo app as you do not have TWRP or other custom recovery. And there is really high chance that you will have to repeat this whole thing after every update (it is just my guess) .
I really hope that this guide will help someone
P.S. I wish to thank all people that I tagged and let them know that it was not my wish to spam them but to give them proper credit.

I am really glad that you find my guide helpful.
When you go to magisk->install you will need to patch boot file.
Since wedo not have custom recovery you need to provide a path (impossible)
to BOOT.img file so magisk can patch it.
So you just put boot.img you downloaded to phome or sd card and provide path to it

I don't understand!
I don't find any "Install" option. Since TWRP is not available for this device, how to proceed?
Can you give me more details?
Until now, I flashed a "ready to be flashed" pre-rooted kernel and I owned SuperUser rights.
Now I want to patch a self-made one. How can I do?

You just need to put BOOT.img file from step 4. anywhere on your device and use magisk on it.
really don't know how to tell it differently

What a dumb I am! I forgot to say you that the phone is offline. To understand better my issue, you can read here.
I never thought internet connection was necessary. For now, I have neither a data plan nor a wi-fi internet connection. Is there a way to solve?
Thanks for your patience

I got it now. All you have to do is not type adb fastboot and just type fastboot flash...
Also another problem that I'm having with rooting another p9 lite mini is that I can't get the bootloader unlock code from huawei anymore. Any solutions? Huawei seems to not want to give you the code anymore.

Interesting wording. If you mean that you can now toggle OEM unlocking on, then unlocking the bootloader with fastboot is the same no matter what device you have.

Sorry for that lol But what I meant was just any root method using magisk because I used the latest 20.2 and it failed for me. And TWRP if any . Just a point in the right direction basically ?

Like @p70shooter said. There is no other way to root besides magisk, and there is no TWRP as of yet. If rooting with 20.2 didn't work, then try 20.1. You can find it here :good: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases

This what I'm getting when I keep trying to patch it. And it is the correct stock image with my build number.
Edit : I'm just going to have to do this after work . I thought I had time but I'm just rushing probably just missing everything.
Thanks for the help guys

Just a little FYI for you my friend. Have you downloaded the factory image coinciding with your current build? If not, then do so, then extract the factory image, then extract the image.zip, then pull the boot.img from there, place it on your phones internal storage, then try to patch it with magisk. I just did it myself with the 20.2 stable version and it worked fine :good:

[SHARE] Descendant os

Descendant os
I did not create this rom and I am not responsible for any result caused by flashing this rom.
A gsi custom os for any android phone, developers claims.
A very cool os, seems even better then oxyjen os.
Brave ones who want to try it on, download is in link below:
All relevant info is inside the youtube video, roms gapps, twrp, every thing needed to flash.
All that is left is to tell you again the usable disclaimer- I did not create this rom and I am not responsible for any result caused by flashing this rom.
If you do exactly what the guide tells you to do there should be no problem, all the info is the youtube video.
Enjoy.
And don't come crying about broken links, not my problem.
Now let's start the flashing!

Hi peeps has anyone installed this through adb? And if so can you share the steps? We don't have a working TWRP for OnePlus 7T Pro why make a thread for a ROM that uses this process?

Why would you post to try this if you have not installed on a oneplus 7t pro yet?

Becuse what's the point of a community if you're able to share good information in it. In any other case there are two specific answers :
First- information is valuable even if you are not going to use it.
Second- since I'm have no computer to be able to flash with at all, I have not been able to even root my device.
But as soon as I can get my hands on a computer to flash with I will let you know first, OK?
Now as I already commented above this is not of my creation and I already mentioned that I'm not taking any responsibility for your actions with the information provided, have fun!

I flashed it, it works however the fingerprint scanner doesn't and the front facing camera is a bit iffy. Does boot though.
You can flash it via fastboot as it is just a system.img file.

What really happen to magisk

Why make everything complex now.
I cant find the link for magisk.zip magisk uninstaller etc.
The magisk apk also no help either.

You might want to take a look in the v22 release notes:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/releases/22000.html
Things are actually simpler now since everything is included in the apk.

I'd tried the app said to change the magisk22.apk to zip and i change it to zip and click lets go but nothing happen. Also cant install magisk.
Everything used to be very fast and easy to install magisk and now they hide the .zip link, make it complicated with the app apk. Need to download boot.img and change the apk to zip file.
Man this is so complex.
i use asus zenfone max pro m1 btw

I don't know that you're talking about... The only difference from previous releases of Magisk is that if you now want to install from TWRP you need to first rename the .apk to .zip, and if you want to uninstall from TWRP you rename it to uninstall.zip.
That's it. Everything else is exactly as it has been for a very long time...

Holy hell! That actually works?! The installation guide doesn't convey this at all! Going by that it's super complicated compared to before. Extracting boot.img is quite an endeavour already and then there's extra steps for ramdisk and whatnot. Custom recovery boot vuide with long pressing and short pressing until splash screen.
That guide needs to be adjusted.

No, not at all! I actually understand now why it says that it's gotten easier! Only renaming the file ending and having everything in one file is super convenient.
The thing is: The installation guide starts with installing Magisk.apk and checking RAMdisk and continues to guide you through steps that are very different from the procedure before. The option you mentioned you be in Bold at the top, with an addition: "Try this first - if it doesn't work, try the rest of the stuff in this guide".

Installing Magisk from a custom recovery is actually only kept as a legacy option. More and more devices do not have a custom recovery available and there are many devices where the custom recovery that is available actually is broken and can't properly install Magisk.
Therefore, John considers the boot/recovery image patching the only properly supported installation method. That's the only way he can know for sure that everything needed for installing Magisk is in place.
That's why the instructions are written as they are.
