The method only applies to P8 and the author says it might not be applicable to Max as the recovery is P8.
However, just for the record
1. Unlock the bootloader
http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
2. Fastbboot custom recovery *Need to create a TWRP recovery for the P8 Max
3. Root

Managed to root my phone.. even when I have updated the EMUI to B018, but there was an issue.. I tell you below
Step I follow from Chinese Forum below...
Preparation step :
1. download the tools from
https://www.mediafire.com/?9drsdo2f6hn4j34
2. Extract the content to your local. Note there are two folders :
- Folder 1 is for the tool that contains the TWRP recovery.img and the adb/fastboot tool,
- Folder 2 is for the original recovery
3. Copy the SuperSU zip to your phone (either in internal or external memory of your phone)
Installation step :
Step 0, unlock your bootloader (search around on how to do it)
1. Since I am using mac, somehow I don't need to install any driver, but if you using windows, install all the driver yourself
2. Enable the developer mode in your phone, and after that enable the usb debugging
3. Turn off your phone, and boot to fastboot (in off mode, connect the phone with your PC then press Volume Up and Power Button together)
4. Since now your phone has been connected to the PC, go to that Tool folder in respective of your OS, then overwrite the recovery with TWRP with fastboot command (install custom recovery) *note : for mac just add "./" in every command
- check the whether its connected : fastboot devices
- install TWRP : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Restart your phone and boot to recovery
- restart : fastboot reboot
- after reboot, turn off your phone
- reboot to recovery : turn on your phone by holding Volume Down with Power button
- Now you are at TWRP
6. Install SuperSU (root)
- Install SuperSU zip that has already been copied to your phone using TWRP (use the Install mode)
7. Reboot the phone
- Use reboot function in twrp
8. Profit
Theoritically the above things works but I have some issues following the above :
- After step 4, after recovery being flashed with TWRP seems like my phone Boot Partition is being overwritten too
- So when I rebooted the phone, it boot to TWRP instead
- So I tried to re-flashed the recovery with the original EMUI rom recovery (go to the folder "2.P8Max_Official_Recovery(For_restoration)" to find the original recovery.img). Also note that in the this folder, the adb and fastboot is only for mac. The one for windows use it in the tools
- This is done by going to fastboot again, then do command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- This time using the original recovery
- Now when I rebooted the phone, it goes to EMUI recovery, then I just clicked restart to system or something
- After this, everything fixed, and I have SuperSU install and phone rooted
You can follow the above, but do it at your own risk, I am not responsible if your phone brick hehehe..

Instead of flashing the recovery to the phone you can just boot it one time. Just use fastboot boot recovery.img instead. This will load twrp and not flash it.

Speaker is damn good... but when playing games or watching movie, it is covered by the hand... so it would be better if the speaker is front facing..
otherwise it's good... but I do hate EMUI though... its making the experience sluggish...

The stock recovery when it's launched, it's in English, dun worry I have re-flashed it as I mentioned in the prev post..
Anyway the stock recovery is extracted from the current available ROM for P8 Max, which is in chinese. There is no international ROM available yet for this phone.

I need to know whether your partitions are okay or not. Please answer my questions below:
1. What's the model of your device? T00F/T00J?
2. Can you reboot into fastboot?
3. What was the last thing you did to it before bricking?
4. Does it flash the fastboot.img file successfully?
5. Which firmware were you using before sideload push? I mean when the device was fine, what was your firmware version?
6. Which version you were trying to push while you bricked it?

I got same problem (solved)
I have advice for you according my experience.
My device is T00F/A500CG
I assume you can enter bootloader or recovery mode, your pc installed all needed driver to do command adb sideload.
1. Download official ZenFone 5 firmware from ASUS website. Just go to Google and type keyword "download ZenFone firmware".
2. Download firmware 5.3.3.3 and 5.2.2.2 (apply same SKU according your device). because my device use WW sku, so I downloaded firmware WW_5.3.3.3 and WW_5.2.2.2.
3. Place those firmware inside adb folder in your pc.
4. Go to recovery mode on your ZenFone 5.
5. Connect your ZenFone to pc using USB cable.
6. Select menu "apply update from adb" on recovery mode.
7. Open cmd at your adb folder.
8. Check whether your device connected or not by using command "adb device". Make sure your device listed as attached.
9. Flash your firmware 5.3.3.3 using adb sideload command.
10. At recovery mode, select clear cache and user data (optional).
11. Once again, enter menu "apply update from adb" at recovery mode and flash firmware 5.2.2.2 using adb sideload command.
12. Do clear cache and user data at recovery mode. Then restart your device. Its will take time to load operating system for the first time, so be patient. Once you done, your device will be running on kit Kat.
This is other way. If you still want to use lollipop on your ZenFone 5.
Follow the step above until step 10. Once it done, restart your device (it will take time for the first time). You will be on lollipop because firmware 5.3.3.3 itself based on lollipop. And of you want to use latest update lollipop (firmware 3.24.40.87) don't do adb sideload from firmware 5.3.3.3 or it will be fail at 54% and you need to repeat step above from step 1.
If you want to proceed to firmware 3.24.40.87, do this:
1. Download ZenFone assists (I recommend this tool).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/development/zenfone-assist-t3401996
2. Place downloaded file in a folder and extract it.
3. Run the *.exe file. (Active internet connection needed for next step).
4. Activate "developer option" on your ZenFone, active USB debuging and then Connect your ZenFone using USB cable to your pc.
5. Click on "root" menu at ZenFone assists. ( application will download some file for first time usage).
6. When it done, click on " I'm on android" and your device will reboot and automatically enter fastboot mode.
7. When your ZenFone at fastboot mode, click on "execute" on ZenFone assists.
8. Done,reboot your device and if there is no super SU app installed, don't worry, your device has been successfully rooted. Check using root checker if you doubt that.
9. Successfully rooted, now use ZenFone assists to unlock your bootloader( use menu "unlock bootloader" at ZenFone assists). The processes will be similar
As process 5-7.
10. Install TWRP using ZenFone assists. Its also similar with process 5-7.
11. Download moded stock firmware 3.24.40.87 from here
drive.google.com/open?id=0B7Py5ad2aHwKMHRsZ1NJM0tfLTQ
(Source thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/help/how-to-revert-to-stock-firmware-t3303654)
This firmware is completely same as official firmware from ASUS, only changed in Meta.inf file so make it able to flash through TWRP.
12. Place downloaded firmware in your SD card.
13. Reboot your device to fastboot mode and enter recovery mode.
14. Your official recovery now replaced by TWRP.
15. Just touch "install from zip" menu at TWRP and select storage where you place the firmware. Do the flashing process, be patient and wait until done.
16. When its done, using TWRP wipe your cache and reboot your device. It will take time for first boot, be patient.
To restore your device all into normal (relock bootloader and replace TWRP with original recovery). Do this:
1. Enable developer option on your device then connect it to your pc using USB cable.
2. Open zenfone assists and select menu "relock bootloader". I assume you already familiar with this process.
3. Open downloaded firmware 3.24.40.87 and extract droidboot.img, boot.img, and recovery.img from inside the zip file and place them inside adb folder.
4. Reboot your ZenFone to fastboot mode, open cmd in adb device folder.
5. Flash fastboot using command fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
6. Flash recovery using command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7. Flash kernel using command fastboot flash boot boot.img
8. Enter recovery mode then wipe cache and user data (optional).
9. Or just reboot your device.
10. Done, enjoy.

I have advice for you according my experience.
My device is T00F/A500CG
I assume you can enter bootloader or recovery mode, your pc installed all needed driver to do command adb sideload.
1. Download official ZenFone 5 firmware from ASUS website. Just go to Google and type keyword "download ZenFone firmware".
2. Download firmware 5.3.3.3 and 5.2.2.2 (apply same SKU according your device). because my device use WW sku, so I downloaded firmware WW_5.3.3.3 and WW_5.2.2.2.
3. Place those firmware inside adb folder in your pc.
4. Go to recovery mode on your ZenFone 5.
5. Connect your ZenFone to pc using USB cable.
6. Select menu "apply update from adb" on recovery mode.
7. Open cmd at your adb folder.
8. Check whether your device connected or not by using command "adb device". Make sure your device listed as attached.
9. Flash your firmware 5.3.3.3 using adb sideload command.
10. At recovery mode, select clear cache and user data (optional).
11. Once again, enter menu "apply update from adb" at recovery mode and flash firmware 5.2.2.2 using adb sideload command.
12. Do clear cache and user data at recovery mode. Then restart your device. Its will take time to load operating system for the first time, so be patient. Once you done, your device will be running on kit Kat.

[HOWTO] Install Mokee 7.1.1 Unofficial cutom ROM for your new Zuk Z2 PRO for dummies

Hi,
Today I just installed a custom ROM for my Zuk Z2 PRO. This tutorial is how I did it.
I get many ressources from this forum and I thank orignal authors.
Big thanks to meister for his guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/how-to/zuk-z2-pro-guide-to-everything-ota-t3562099

More info on this ROM : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/rom-share-lr-team-zuk-z2row-z2-pro-t3567710
Backup your data before processing the flash, in order to avoid loss of data!
Flashing / rooting and install custom ROM could brick your device ! You're the only responsible on what you're doing. This guide is how I did it and I'm not responsible if you're messing up your device
Unlock bootloader (step 3) will void Lenovo warranty
Antutu Score : 143050
Summary :
Step 1 : Prepare environment
Step 2 : Install ZUI 2.5.x (recommended before installing Nougat custom ROM)
Step 3 : Unlock bootloader (to be able to boot on TWRP)
Step 4 : Boot on TWRP to root the phone
Step 5 : Make a Nandroid backup
Step 6 : Install TWRP
Step 7 : Install a custom ROM with TWRP
Step 8 : Install Gapps (google apps)
Step 1 : Prepare environment
Create a directory where you're gona extract download files (avoid space in the directory path).
Download : adb and fastboot from google
Extract it on your previous created directory.
Download usb drivers and install it
Enable developer mode in your Z2 PRO (link if your don't know how to do it)
Connect your phone on your computer
On the directory C:/yourDirectoryPath/platform-tools maintains shift + rigth click and "Open command window here"
Type adb devices
If your see a line below "List of devices attached" your adb is OK
Note the number somewhere, it's your device serial number.
On the phone type *#06# and note somewhere IMEI numbers in case something went wrong during flashing
Step 2 : Install ZUI 2.5.x (recommended before installing Nougat custom ROM)
For this part I use the m_atze tutorial that you can find here. Check it for me detailed steps.
If you are on windows 8, 8.1 or 10, you have to disable driver verification (some people didn't disable driver verification and it works as well)
For windows 10 with anniversary update : you just have to run a cmd as admin and enter bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON then reboot your computer (your windows will be in test mode)
For other cases check this link
Then
Download QPST flashtool
Install QPST flashtool and reboot your computer
Download and extract ZUI ROM 2.5.x (you maybe need to rename the directory where the ROM is because it could be too big)
Launch QFIL application as administrator
Go to Configuration -> FireHostConfiguration. 1-change device type to UFS. 2-check reset after download checkbox
Click on "Load content" and browse the contents.xml from the ZUI ROM 2.5.x extracted files
On the adb console you opened earlier, enter adb reboot edl
The QFIL page should look like this
Click on "Download content" to flash your phone
The final screen should like this
If any problem, there is an FAQ
Your phone is gonna reboot, congratulation, you're flashed your phone with ZUI 2.5.x ROM.
Once the phone boots up it will be in Chinese again. To get your phone back in English :
On the welcome screen tap the bottom of the screen below the highlighted blue text to skip the ZUK login.
To change the language back to English go to Settings.
In the third section choose the last entry. "Advanced Settings" (the gears symbol).
Choose the 2nd menu item.
Choose the first menu item and select English.
Now check update and install it if needed trough this app. If the check is green, it's ok.
Re-enable developer mode and debugging
Step 3 : Unlock bootloader (to be able to boot on TWRP)
This step is almost a copy past of section 2 of meister guide
This step gonna void your Lenovo warranty and wipe your data
Step 3.1 : Get the unlock bootloader from Lenovo
In order to unlock the bootloader you will need to got the zuk website, where you need to register first before you can request to unlock the bootloader.
So go here : https://passport.zuk.com/wauthen3/wauth/jsp/register.jsp (use google translate)
Select Email Registration (upper right corner) and fill in the required data
You will receive an Email with a confirmation link.
Now that you are registered, log in and than go to http://developer.zuk.com/bootloader (use google translate)
Click on Carry On.
On the next page select your phone type Z2 Pro.
Enter your serial number (8 digits) (you can find it on Settings -> About -> Status. If your serial is not 8 digit, add 0 to the end to make a 8 digit number)
Enter an email address where to send the unlock image. It seems that the email address here has to follow some rules. ([email protected] or @Web.net seems to work. A domain name with a hyphen (-) seems to cause problems, i use a @hotmail.com mail adresse and it worked)
Check the 2 check boxes and click SUBMIT
If successful you get a message that the image has been sent to your email address. No message means something went wrong. Likely the email address was not approved.
Save the email attachment from ZUK you requested earlier (named unlock_bootloader.img) into C:/yourDirectoryPath/platform-tools/ (next to adb.exe)
Step 3.2 : Unlock bootloader
On adb console enter adb devices to check if your device is still connected
Next enter adb reboot bootloader and your phone gonna reboot in bootloader mode
Next enterfastboot -i 0x2b4c flash unlock unlock_bootloader.img (if you got error "target did not report max-download-size" change from usb 3.0 to usb 2.0 port and / or try to turn on "enable_usb_2.0" via
Developer Options)
You should see
Code:
target reported max download size of 1610612736 bytes
sending 'unlock' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.031s]
writing 'unlock'...
OKAY [ 0.063s]
finished. total time: 0.094s
Then enter fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go
You should see
Code:
...
OKAY [ 0.031s]
finished. total time: 0.031s
You phone is gonna reboot (or reboot it manually)
Change the phone language to english and re enable debugging.
Step 4 : Boot on TWRP to root the phone
Download TWRP 3.1 for Zuk Z2 PRO here and extrat TWRP..... .img next to adb.exe in platform-tools folder
Download SuperSu here
Copy paste SuperSu zip file in your phone internal storage
In adb cmd enter adb reboot bootloader
Then enter fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot TWRP3.1.0.0_ZUK_Z2_pro.img to boot in TWRP image
Click on "Keep read only"
Go to install and browse to SuperSu zip.
Swipe to install
When installation is finished, reboot your phone (it may reboot many times)
Good job, your phone is now rooted !
Step 5 : Make a Nandroid backup
In adb cmd enter adb reboot bootloader
Then enter fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot TWRP3.1.0.0_ZUK_Z2_pro.img to boot in TWRP image
Go in backup and check all checkbox
Swipe to backup
Reboot the phone
From your computer browse your phone internal memory and copy your backup from TWRP/Backup/XXXXX to a directory in your computer
Step 6 : Install TWRP
In adb cmd enter adb reboot bootloader
Then fastboot flash recovery TWRP3.1.0.0_ZUK_Z2_pro.img to install TWRP on your phone
Then fastboot reboot
Then adb reboot bootloader
Then with volume keys select Recovery Mode and enter in Recovery Mode by pushing power key
TWRP will start
Reboot your phone
Step 7 : Install a custom ROM with TWRP
Download ROM from https://uploadfiles.io/55ffa
Copy paste ROM zip file in your phone internal storage
In adb cmd enter adb reboot bootloader
Then with volume keys select Recovery Mode and enter in Recovery Mode by pushing power key
Click Wipe and swipe to wipe. Do NOT reboot your phone.
Go back in TWRP main menu and click Install. Browse the ROM zip file
Swipe to install
Reboot your phone
When your phone reboot, it's in chinese. Click on the texte in the right bottom corner and then select your language.
During the phone configuration, do not connect wifi (in my case the phone configuration crashed when I connected to a wifi)
When you finished phone configuration reboot to get notification in your language
Step 8 : Install Gapps (google apps)
Download Gapps from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-dynamic-gapps-t3487192
Copy the zip file in your phone
Reboot in TWRP
Install Gapps through TWRP
Reboot your phone
At this point my Google Play Services crashed each reboot. So needed to
Reboot in TWRP
Wipe cache
Now it works !
You can install other ROM with this method but I only tested with this one.
Enjoy

First of all, thank you for your help.
I followed this tutorial from start to finish without encountering any unexpected events. It is rare to say so!
Small points:
Step 1:
*- Think of connecting the phone before the command "adb devices", it's stupid but I had not done it!
Step 2:
*- I did not need to change my driver settings on Windows 10.
*- I had to run the QFIL application as an administrator.
*- I had to rename the directory where the ROM was because the name was too big.
Step 3.1:
*- I have a serial number on 7 characters, you must add "0" at the end to make 8 characters.
*- My Gmail address worked smoothly.
Step 4:
*- The SuperSU link did not work, I took this one: http://downloadmirror.co/Utz/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip
*- Some reboot at home also, it seems to be normal.
Step 7:
*- I took the ROM "Resurrection Remix", no problem with another ROM.
Step 8:
*- I also had a crash of Google apps, I also did a wipe and it works now. It looks normal too.
Thank you again for your help!

Glade I could help !
Thanks for your feedback, I'm gonna update the tutorial

Hi,
great tutorial, thank you!
Step 6 : Install TWRP - I'm stuck though, as my PC still does not recognize device on fastboot without -i 0x2b4c...
so should I use instead of
Then fastboot flash recovery TWRP3.1.0.0_ZUK_Z2_pro.img to install TWRP on your phone
Then fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the -i option ?
Then fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery TWRP3.1.0.0_ZUK_Z2_pro.img to install TWRP on your phone
Then fastboot -i 0x2b4c reboot
Click to expand...

I'm currently on ZUI 2.5.x. Can I go straight to official MK60.1 using this guide?
Or should I downgrade to ZUI 2.3.x first

Maybe downgrade to 2.3.x is more secured...

So far it's the only stable official release from Mokee.

Mk60.1 have exactly the same bugs like Mk71.1. so no need to use mk60.1. mk71.1 is pretty stable btw.

So far quite happy running Mokee. Is there an easy way to root as well?

Mokee was quite good.
Yesterday I installed this ROM : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zu...tom-rom-zuk-z2pro-resurrection-remix-t3579113
I prefer this ROM because you can custom it in many ways.
Since yesterday it's stable.

I'm currently on ZUI 2.5.x. Can I go straight to official MK60.1 using this guide?
Or should I downgrade to ZUI 2.3.x first

You can go straight to the latest RR rom without downgrade, so I guess you can do this with MK60 also. But why do you want that...?

Both ROMs are completely stable but my personal favourite is LineageOS.
Ps. You should have asked this question in one of the ROM thread.

Is not working for me, it goes to the stock recovery menu ... I download many times and tried to install in different ways including from the MicroSD and using another TWRP to install this ...
