Neo U9-H Root for CE FW001 Android 7.1.2 20191120

I've been searching around for a viable rooting TWRP for the community edition firmware for U9-H but I've been unsuccessful. Most required kernel change and internal flashing of the current installation, which was not an option for me. Others just didn't work or were a bit sketchy. I did not want to reflash my U9 nor did I want to lose everything I've done on it. I finally decided to create my own TWRP recovery to root my U9-H from sdcard. Through trial and error, I finally succeeded. I was able to root my U9-H by flashing from my sdcard using both TWRP and Magisk .
I know many people have moved on from U9, so if there is still an interest in rooting your U9-H please let me know and I will post the files with standard instructions in this thread.

Cheers,

Here is the link for the u9-root twrp and magisk for the community edition installation android 7.1.2 u9-root files

I advise using an SD card for root as a precaution so as not to impact any of your internal installation.
As always use at own risk. Unless you know what you are doing you should not attempt to root.


(((( I borrowed instructions from another thread started by @Marty for X8-h Plus because the instructions are very similar. )))

- Extract recovery.img and Magisk-V25(zipped) from the download above.
- Put recovery.img & Magisk-V25(Zipped) onto an SD Card formatted to FAT32
- Put the SD Card into your Minix and boot to TWRP by pressing the power button for a few seconds (around 7-8 seconds) until you see the TWRP menu.
- Swipe to allow modifications
- Select Install
- On the bottom right click "Select Storage"
- Choose Micro SDCard
- Select the Magisk-V25 zip in the top left
- Once flashed select Reboot System
- After reboot one last step. Launch Magisk to complete the installation,

Once completed your U9-H is rooted.
