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

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.

Is this is TWRP for Marshmallow? Because the recovery files.you have uploaded are dated 25th September 2015?
@mfbcool yes...this is for Marshmallow... But dont swipe allow modifications!!
Member gettin error after swiping...just do read only...
I root my device by this method yesterday
but today root not work in titanum backup
I check it by root checker and everything is ok
Even though this method works, I would not recommend moving SuperSU to system partition. I didn't moved it and still SU permissions are working fine. I say so because Chainfire in his new SuperSU adopted a 'Systemless Root' method that roots without modifying the system partition so that apps like Android Pay work properly. He achieved this by patching the Boot image and so root is installed in boot image and is enabled at every boot (that's why you may experience some boot loops after rooting). This makes taking OTA updates and unrooting the device easier as you can unroot by flashing the Stock Boot.img instead of flashing the whole system partition.
I believe moving SuperSU to system partition destroys the main purpose and idea Chainfire had while making SuperSU compatible with Marshmallow. We all know EMUI won't update on Rooted devices. So it would be a pain to reflash whole Stock System Partition before taking OTA.
Hi thanks, I'm root my mobile I'm in android 6.0 now how to get back to kikkat a stock rom from twrp
@G E N E R A L open supersu app and tick the mount name separation and restart phone... Titanium, kingroot all will recognize root

@TMDMOOSA if you wanna go back to KK, Flash stock recovery first!!
Then flash the back pkg B320, then B070
If you gets error, flash middle pkg of chc rom and then flash directly KK Rom usin stock recovery!!

I have successfully built TWRP 3.0.0-0 for our device which fixes the weird swipe to allow modifications bug and is fully compatible with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495
Also, to re-flash Stock ROM, you don't need to flash Stock Recovery. Huawei phones have 2 inbuilt recoveries. The second recovery (which is the Stock) can be accessed by 3 buttons method (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down).
@mfbcool i saw that thread early... Great work man... I know huawei have 2 inbuilt recoveries but 2nd one is erecovery and thats of no use at all... I tried it too many times!! If twrp 3.0 can flash update.app files,,, it gonna rocks , wish u best of luck man!! You did it
I've been trying for the last couple of days to root my MM G4 H815 v20e but all the guides I've tried to follow have either wanted TWRP installed before rooting, or root being required before installing TWRP. No matter which TWRP I tried, none would install. Yeah, the install would succeed ok, but when I tried rebooting into recovery all I got was the dead robot. Then I came across a method for running TWRP as a boot img and installing root from there. And it worked 100%, first time. So I'm putting this method on here so anyone else having the same problems as I had, can root their phone.
This is non-destructive but, as usual, I take no responsibility for you wandering from the path and breaking something. You will need an unlocked bootloader, instructions here, and your warranty will most definitely be invalidated after this. The original instructions were in Turkish, so many thanks to the original poster, and to Google Translate for at least making it understandable.
So I take it we're all sure what we're doing with adb, fastboot etc? This is serious stuff so if you don't think you're up to it, don't try it until you are. I'm just posting the method for rooting, the other stuff can be easily found. Plus it helps you understand the system of searching.
So when you're ready, connect your phone to your pc by USB cable, ensure USB Debugging is enabled, and off we go:
Step 1 - Visit https://dl.twrp.me/h815/ and download twrp-3.0.2-0-h815.img to your sdk/platform-tools folder. Rename it to "twrp.img". Copy this file to either the root of your internal memory or external sd card.
Step 2 - download SU zip from here https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip and rename it to "su.zip". Copy it to either the root of your phone's internal memory or sd card
Step 3 - switch to your sdk/platform-tools folder, shift and right-click on a white space and select "Open command window here"
Step 4 - type "adb reboot bootloader" [ENTER] then type "fastboot boot twrp.img" [ENTER]
TWRP will now run in memory
Step 5 - As TWRP isn't actually installed, you'll need to swipe the switch at the bottom to allow it to modify your phone
Step 6 - Tap Install and select su.zip. Select "Zip signature verification".
Step 7 - Swipe the switch at the bottom to flash the zip.
Step 8 - It would be a good idea at this point to also flash the TWRP. go back to the install screen. As it is an img file and not a zip you want to flash, tap the "Install Image" button at the bottom right, choose the twrp.img file you copied to the phone, and swipe to flash.
When complete, tap the Reboot button, choose Recovery and your phone should now boot into TWRP. Now choose to reboot to System and allow your phone to restart (it may take a while longer than normal and may reboot , mine did once).
And that's your phone rooted. Install Root Checker from the Play Store and run it to confirm your phone has been rooted.
Unlocked bootloader, I guess, yes?

Without unlocking the bootloader he wouldn't be even able to boot the twrp img, since its unsigned by LG!
This is common sense
If I unlock the bootloader I´ll also fire up the twrp (not boot but simply flash twrp)
Root is just optional there
U rock man!!!
100% working!!!! i've been looking for this for so long and all tutorials were complicated and hard to follow and you came with this simple tutotial xD i have the same lg g4 h815 20e. You are the real MVP!!!:highfive:
But why? Why wouldn't you just install TWRP seeing as you've unlocked the bootloader, might as well make your life easier in the long run...
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp.img
copy twrp.img to internal storage
in twrp -> install -> images -> twrp.img -> select recovery and swipe to install
Can't install TWRP via fastboot (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img doesn't work properly, have to flash the twrp.img inside TWRP itself).

Since you have unlocked bootloader anything will work
you can simply boot the twrp (like the op shows) and flash supersu
or rather -> copy twrp img to the internal, boot twrp (look op) and flash the twrp img (tap first the zip/img checkbox) --it will ask where to flash -> select recovery, don´t tap boot...
Then you might also flash the supersu
and now you have twrp and root

After typing "adb reboot bootloader" phone restarts to bootloader. And thats it. Typing "fastboot boot twrp.img" does nothing but writes <...> is not recognized as and internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Whats going on? Also if i type adb devices there is empty list of devices attached

You don't have fastboot installed, or you're typing the command wrong.
c:> adb reboot bootloader
c:> fastboot boot twrp.img
What happens if I want to go back to stock, will the device remain as it was before rooting and will receive OTAs and allow device encryption and all?
Hi,
I'm all new to rooting and I got a major issue.
Here's the story.
Wanting that substratum themes, I looked up for rooting my devices
I followed this guide to unlock the bootloader, and all was fine.
Next, I followed this one for rooting, but at the "installing nexus drivers" step, my PC wasn't showing off any driver setup or something related to a driver.
I pressed Enter, despite the fact that I didn't know if I had nexus drivers properly installed, and my phone didn't want to boot up. Stuck on the boot animation, for more than 20 hours.
Next day, I came back and found this mega thread about unbricking. I followed it, and now I'm in a boot loop: my phone reboot 1-2 secs after showing the home screen, but I can still enter in fast boot mode. My phone is still unlocked and when I enter Huawei's eRecovery (by long-pressing up volume button) to try to "Download new version and recovery" it connects to my Wi-Fi, then fails.
Thanks for your patience,
Mx3_
Do I understand correctly? Do you wont root your phone ?
1 st. With method which presented, you can only root your device if you have Android 5 or lower, if you have android 6 Marshalow - you must use " Systemless ROOT"
2nd. You must upload new ROM on your device ( i have special tool for do this "srktoolHuawei" - this is a special tool for flashing every new rom on a huawei device )
3.rd." HuaweiUpdateExtractor" - this is a tool for extract new ROM ( roms for huawei, you can find in huawei webside ) - download rom for your device, extract by this tool, copy and paste inside folder of "srktoolHuawei"
Next...
Plug you device to PC by usb, go to recovery mode and if you have unblocked bootloader, should be writen:" Phone is unlocked" - > Open "srktoolHuawei", go to Command Prop and then:
- IMPORTANT !!! - you must upload files: SYSTEM, RECOVERY, CUST, BOOT - you can do this using that commands:
1. fastboot flash system system.img
2.fastboot flash boot boot.img
3.fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4.fastboot flash cust cust.img
Reboot and system should starts correctly...

If you wont to root your device with SYSTEMLESSROOT method, you should do like that:
1. If you upload recovery by "srktoolHuawei" - > download TWRP recovery and upload into your device ( copy and paste TWRP img. file into this tool folder insted of traditional android recovery file, next change name from TWRP, to just recovery.img and upload using command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img )
2. Now - if you press volume + - and power together, you should have TWRP Recovery insted of Huawei Recovery, thats good...
3. Next...BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3 - upload this version of supersu into your SD card...
4. Next - go to TWRP mod, next to advanced, next to Terminal Command and write command like this:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
Confirm this command and back to install ( this command means that you will install SuperSU and it will make systemless root for you )
When if you have install, then select supersu which you downloaded before and now simply flash it by TWRP, next reboot and you should installed supersu and rooted device...

Please tell me you made a back up in TWRP if you did just use the RESTORE option in TWRP if not you will have to go through the above again to get back to stock but missing out flashing the recovery partition as yours is working.
When your phone boots make a back up in TWRP before trying out anything so its easy to recover

> If your phone runs Android 8 or later with latest security patch - then this service won't work!
I have the latest security patch(March 1, 2019), I've been searching for the past 3 days for a working method to root my mate 10 lite, found nothing.
Huawei stopped providing oem unlock codes, All the services that provided unlock codes for money are now obsolete too.
I'm trying to find a way to root this phone on my own, but I'm not sure where to go from here.
I've read this book today "XDA Developers' Android Hacker's Toolkit", but it teaches how to use rooting methods that are already out there and not how to create your own way to root a device.
Can you provide guidance on where to go from here to learn how to find vulnerabilities in android?

"If your phone runs Android 8 or later with latest security patch - then this service won't work! " it's true , you must downgrade to Nougat via HiSuite .

Sorry, I misread. xD
Well, you can either flash TWRP for Oreo. Not sure which is "best" though, take one with decryption support if available for RNE on Oreo. Then you flash Magisk zip in twrp.
Or you can take your stock ramdisk and patch it in Magisk Manager, then flash the patched ramdisk from fastboot.
I would provably go with TWRP and Magisk zip though, as you would need a stock ramdisk from an update.app of your build. So saves some downloading
Basically flash TWRP using fastboot: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
Reboot to recovery which will end up in TWRP. Flash latest Magisk using the Install button in twrp.

I can't find any TWRP with decryption. This one might work, it's from the MorfuZ thread: https://mega.nz/#!uD4FlCqL!ERBzP4ZWa2sR8f_wnn15F_cOFCdYVKgfYETjiehQkkQ
So it may or may not have working decryption. But if you have an external SD it doesn't really matter as you'd only transfer magisk to that.
Magisk from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Download latest stable.
Flash twrp using fastboot.
Reboot to recovery.
Transfer magisk zip to external SD.
Flash Magisk zip using the Install button
You will probably have to browse to /external_sd manually as it will default to /sdcard in the install browser.
If it fails to install using TWRP:
Open terminal in TWRP from the Advanced button then enter this command:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/ramdisk of=/external_sd/ramdisk.img
This will dump your stock ramdisk to external sd, which you then can patch in Magisk Manager and flash the output file to 'ramdisk' using fastboot. You will have to install Magisk Manager apk first though, it can be found in the Magisk thread.

Yes you can, although you have to download updates through firmware finder and update with HuRUpdater in twrp.

Then there is another solution - install TWRP over eRecovery (my own experience) :
- copy to SD card TWRP-oreo-smart.img
- in main TWRP menu tap Install image, then navigate
to the TWRP-oreo-smart, select
eRecovery_ramdisk and confirm Flash . System
reboot.
- Download and copy to the Minimal ADB and fastboot folder RECOVERY_RAMDISK330.img
https://mega.nz/#!I511VK4b!9cGodiCORHOvXndOCHyqcezpHmUk2zeTslqpbZe8pk4
Connect your phone to PC in fastboot mode and install recovery_ramdisk using command
- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK330.img
- fastboot reboot
How to boot into TWRP: reboot your phone and press Volume Up key up to 3 seconds to enter TWRP.

Okay, one can install Magisk without TWRP. There are plenty of guides on how to do these things in the Mate 10 forums. Of course, TWRP makes things easier ....
