We are back with a new Honor 8X root tutorial. We are sharing a step-by-step guide to root Honor 8x. It was a solid phone and a midrange successor. At this moment only EMUI9.1 and older versions can be rooted. since there is no way to unlock the bootloader on EMUI10. so all users who want to root must roll back to EMUI9.1 in order to install root access. Root has been achieved using the latest Magisk V23.0 while running EMUI9.1. At this moment there is no working TWRP for EMUI9 so the only way to root this phone is by patching the recovery image. Let’s start with the guide.

Disclaimer

• You try everything at your own risk
• This method has been tested on JSN-L22 and should work for other models running EMUI9.1
• You will lose the warranty of your phone by rooting it
• We have also tested the Magisk 26.3 update and it works but you use the Xygisk SafetyNet fix method
