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..

Yap.. like i said, seems like the boot partition is overwritten with twrp.. so i got sort of twrp bootloop.... but after i reflash the original recovery.img using fastboot... then launch the recovery and click boot to system or sumthin.. everything back to normal...

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.

Root Huawei P8 Max 5.1.1
hi,
So, what is the real WORKING procedure to root our Huawei P8 Max with android version 5.1.1 ?
Thank you in advance for answering.
Hi, I already had my phone rooted and with TWRP installed, but I needed to restore my phone. First I did this trough the system, but I noted that a lot of old files still were there, and I went to TWRP and did a wipe, but selected /system and /cache, now I don't have a OS on my phone.
The phone doesn't turn off, everytime I try to power off, he turn on again, and stay on Lenovo logo. The only thing I can acess is Fastboot mode (via Power down + power), I cant acess TWRP trough the phone, but I found a .bat file, that when I'm in fastboot mode, it flashes twrp on my phone and I can acess it . The other problem is that I always get an error when trying to flash any rom. Things like Error:255 or ".zip file not valid". Tried 2 roms and nothing.
Can someone please help me? I would prefer a stock rom for Brazil, but now I just want any rom, dont even mind if it's not stock.

Error 255 is caused because you are trying to install a 64bit ROM over TWRP (32bits), you need to upgrade TWRP to 64bit, just so you will be able to install a ROM. Remember that you should use Gapps in 64bit [ARM64]
TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/karate/twrp-3.1.1-1-karate.img
Gapps: http://opengapps.org/ (ARM64)

I already had this version of twrp, but downloaded anyway and got the same error when tring to sideload a ROM "Updater process ended with ERROR: 255" . I don't know what to do anymore, I tried with 4 different ROMs, also I searched for a method to erase the lines with asserts on "update-scripts" in META-INF, but then I got a "Invalid ZIP file" error.

Try to go back to the 32bits version and erase everything and format the data and return to the 64bit version because here I had this problem it was because of the TWRP that I was using, it was the 32bits version, after that I upgraded to the 64bits version I did not have this problem. Remembering that in the site https://dl.twrp.me/karate/ has two versions of TWRP, the version twrp-3.1.1-0-karate.img is 32bits and the version twrp-3.1.1-1-karate. img is 64bit.

MAN, the ERROR: 7 now could be solved by deleting the lines with ASSERT in "\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script".
So, thanks for helping me, the problem with 64/32bits worked. I'm really glad that this worked, had stuck for 3 days without OS, now i'm never messing with this stuff again haha.

Dont forget to reboot again into twrp - after flashing 64bit twrp . This is a step that is very important if you will not reboot your phone into twrp after flashing 64 bit twrp then , it will keep showin you the error 255.
So check that .

Use erase the data from wipe option then you will be able to install rom and g-apps.
Every time you will need password, I don't know why but after erasing data you install all files otherwise you need to erase data again and again

I Faced same problem. It's ok that your phone is in weird state for time now. And also possible to recover.
Hopefully you have adb-tool, custom-rom & gapp, twrp.img on your PC.
1) Boot your mobile in fastmode using Power ON with Volume down key for 5 sec (Lenovo log with left hand side sayinh fastboot mode)
2) Connect the mobile to PC using USB & Go to adb tool folder. Open command prompt in this folder & Execute the follow step by step execution
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
3)Wait for mobile to boot in to recovery mode with TWRP
Now need to flash custom-rom followed by gapps installion.
I) You can use pendrive with otg to flash custom-rom followed by gapps
OR
II)You can use phone storage/SD card to flash the custom-rom followed by gapps
OR
III)adb sideload command as fallow
a)In TWRP recovery on mobile, goto Adavanced->ADB Sideload & Swipe to start the sideload
Now on PC execute . Specify custom rom path inside ""
adb sideload "C:\adb\images\MyCustomROM.zip"
Have a patience to complete the operation.
Click back for Adavanced Menu again.
b) Select ADB Sideload & Swipe to start the sideload
Now on PC execute . Specify Gapp path inside ""
adb sideload "C:\adb\images\open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180611.zip"
c)Have a patience to complete the operation.
Once complete go to TWRP Screen.
d)Now go back TWRP main menu & select wipe->format Data.
Go to Reboot->system.
How to install TWRP if no OS there
1) Boot your mobile in fastmode using Power ON with Volume down key for 5 sec (Lenovo log with left hand side sayinh fastboot mode)
2) Connect the mobile to PC using USB & Go to adb tool folder. Open command prompt in this folder & Execute the follow step by step execution
a) To check the device is connected to PC or not
fastboot oem device-info
b) To flash the recovery. Give twrp path inside the ""
fastboot flash recovery "C:\adb\images\twrp.img"
c) To boot into recovery mode
fastboot oem reboot-recovery

Hello. I wiped my phone from TWRP 3.2.1.0. Then installed update.zip from B09 Nougat for A2017G version. My system does not boot. Is update.zip the complete system or maybe I am in bad sytuation not having full system install.

You didn't realize that it failed to flash, right? You have no system. Download raystef66's TWRP flashable B09 bootstack and stocksystem and flash them. Also flash Magisk 15.2 and format data (not wipe).
Or you can use slim⁴ or just a custom ROM, but read this time

If you have an SD card flash an update.zip. i even made a guide some time ago on how to do this if you don't know how to (update/roll back officially). Or go into EDL mode and use axon7tool to install TWRP, then use the B09 flashable zips

Hello.
1. I alredy tried to put update.zip file from B09 update and when I choose "Apply update from SD card" I obtain:
Supported API: 3
--- Couldn't mount /sdcard
Installation aborted
2. I cannot put the phone in a state I could be seen by command "adb devices". Are You sure axon7tool is over it?
When I check "Rebot to bootloader" I obtain placeholder and when I click volume button I obtain menu:
Power Off
Restart
Recovery
Fastboot
When I check "Fastboot it just reloads to the same menu". The device is not visible by "adb devices" command
BTW I owned ZTE Nubia Z7 mini, and now I also have LeEco Le Max 2. None of this was not so easy to put in unstable state. I performed about 50 ROM installations on my LeEco, wiping, backups and restores, adb sidloads and havo no such problems like with Axon 7.

3 things:
-Format your SD card, it might not be mounted because of that
-I don't know if you did, but read about how to use axon7tool. You have to install zadig drivers for it to work. Read Controllerboy's guide
-Don't try to get adb anywhere because you can do nothing with it
-Don't try to use fastboot because you have to install it when you are in TWRP.
Plus, don't compare "how hard it is to do stuff in this phone" since you are the one who made all the mistakes...

Dear collegue off course I am not about to blame anybody than me for these mistakes. Thanks for your guides. Any further help will be appreciated
Dear collegue so far I formatted some old 8GB micro SD card, placed update.zip and was able to install it on the phone. Now I perform Google restore of my phone. Seems to bo OK. Thank You All for your help.
Finally I performed "unlock bootloader" command from Axon 7 Toolkit, flashed with Miflash and I have again fastboot running.
BIG THANKS.
OK. I was able to manage it. Here some remarks, maybe or maybe not obvious for everybody.
1. Performing again unlock bootloader with MiFlash (ZTE Axon Toolkt) repairs fastboot mode
2. When I installed original ROM from SD Card then flashed TWRP my system decoded the data partotion - it asked password at system startup and data partition was unable to remove/wipe from TWRP. Then I flashed original recovery with fastboot and was able wipe data partition

Dear collegue so far I formatted some old 8GB micro SD card, placed update.zip and was able to install it on the phone. Now I perform Google restore of my phone. Seems to bo OK. Thank You All for your help.
Finally I performed "unlock bootloader" command from Axon 7 Toolkit, flashed with Miflash and I have again fastboot running.
BIG THANKS.

Try to disable OEM unlock (or enable it) from Developer options. Then try again.
If it doesn't work, then you can update via EDL. It's a bit riskier but it will work
Hi all!
I have tryed to flash Android Q on my Redmi Note 7 (Global) everything seemed to go smooth till i rebooted and the deviced got stuck in fastboot mode, i tryed to flash TWRP, it goes OKAY but if i reboot i cant access recovery anyway.
I also tryed to use "fastboot boot recovery.img", it does send the image but fails to boot into recovery saying "failed to load/authenticate boot image..."
Am i doing something wrong? How can i solve this?
I thought of MiFlash Tool, but there are many version and some seems not to work properly can anyone provide a working link?
(Ofc, my bootloader is unlocked etc)
Thanks a lot
After you flash TWRP you can't access via command, because MIUI will re-write the recovery again once you restart, first flash the TWRP (fastboot flash recovery the-name-of-the-file.img) after that you must reboot to recovery manually by holding together "Volume Up + Power" until you see the MI logo, release "Power" button but keep pressing "Volume Up" until you see the recovery, after you are in TWRP, (mount the internal storage (Data) or if you already copied OrangeFox Recovery Zip to device) then just flash OrangeFox R10_2, it will reboot itself after that to the recovery again and that's all, you will have a custom recovery ready.
Now, if you already tried to flash the ROM and everything went wrong, I guess your device is bricked, now you need a FASTBOOT ROM for your device (if it's complete global = PFGMIXM / because there's global europe too, that's PFGEUXM) and the MiFlashTool, unzip the Fastboot ROM, open the MiFlashTool, load the ROM Folder in the tool while the phone is connected to the PC, and then just flash it, steps with images are in Xiaomi site, here's the link Fasboot Method
ps: the tool have below one option to flash and re-lock the bootloader, it will be selected by default, leave it like that if you want to re-lock it, or change it to clean all to leave it unlock it

Hi dears! Just trying to sum up in case someone end up here just like me: Got stuck on fastboot. What solved was format data partition via orange recovery.

I HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER WHEN I INSTALL TWRP MY MOBILE STUCKS IN FASTBOOT MOD...PLZ HELP ME IF SOMEONE KNOW ABOUT THIS
What adb returns?
If you are in fastboot, try to turn off phone and immediately push vol+ and power on boot for a few seconds.
If that won't work make sure you flashed the correct recovery and phone is detected in adb

which twrp you have?
You want to install custom rom or what?
Copy the rom to internal storage.
Reboot to fastboot
install twrp
"fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img"
fastboot reboot with vol +
If the twrp shows the files install the rom and then go to
wipe/format data -- > yes
If not showing the files , first format data
reboot recovery
copy rom to internal (in twrp mode)
then install the rom
