Here in this guide, we will help you to flash the magisk to root Huawei Y6 2018. Read our step by step guide properly!

Who doesn’t want to get the most of his Android device..?! Getting the superuser access through root and to be able to control various aspects like clocking, access to cache etc. are few of the various possibilities that we can explore. When we mention of root access, this means we need to perform a certain modification that will root our phone and we will have the access to the root directory of our device. In this post, we will show you how to root Huawei Y6 2018.

Huawei Y6 2018 features a 5.7-inches display with a screen resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels. The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm MSM8917 Snapdragon 425 processor coupled with 2GB of RAM. The phone packs 16GB internal memory which can also be expanded up to 256GB via microSD card. The camera on the Huawei Y6 2018 comes with 13MP with LED flash rear camera and 5MP front shooting camera for selfies with LED flash. The handset came out of the box with Android 8.0 Oreo and backed by a Non-removable Li-Ion 3000 mAh battery.

We will use the Magisk by patching the stock boot image and flash that to your boot partition. However it may get confusing for you, so, thanks to XDA developer TenSeventy7 who did the stock boot patching and flashing. He is the one who brings this for all root fanatics. All you need to do is download the patched image file and flash it. Also thanks to topjohnwu, man behind the Magisk development.

You need to have an unlocked bootloader on your phone before you can root Huawei Y6 2018. We have detailed the method on that below.

Mostly uninitiated people compare rooting with hacking which is not correct. The purpose in both contexts is quite different. Hacking is more like breaking into someone’s else system illegally, whereas rooting is mostly done by the owner of an Android device to gain superuser advantages of the device.
