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.

Did you try to boot into it via adb?
Enable Developer Options by tapping the Build number a couple times then enable USB debugging and Tick OEM Unlock.
Use ADB via command
adb reboot recovery
and it should bring you to TWRP or what ever recovery it's on.

What recovery partition did you choose to install TWRP, recovery or recovery2?

recovery not recovery2

Click to expand...

you think i could try recovery2? is it safe? i never try

I installed TWRP into recovery2 because eRecovery never worked for me. Since you are on a beta version, you might try booting into eRecovery first and trying to see if that brings you back to 4.1, if it doesn't work then install TWRP to recovery2. I have found it easier to boot into because you can just use the volume up from the unlocked bootloader warning screen to launch TWRP.

in Emui 5.0, install this twrp(thanks greatslon) https://goo.gl/ATklu5
if it doesnot boots into recovery by regular vol+,- and power, try again with usb cable connected to computer.
You can also install Magisk and root with phh's systemless root.
Even though i am not sure if you can revert to emui 4.0 from here, because userdata is encrypted, and somehow i was not able to decrypt it or even mount it in twrp.
BTW i had beta emui 5.0 long back, as i applied for beta and got directly as upgrade push. Have been through all of this for my device. Stuck with 5.0 but rooted and having magisk modules working.

[Help] Noob trying to root Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L31 (B239)

Soooooo, here it comes
Trying to root my Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L31 (Compilation VNS-L31C02B329), but I can't make it to boot from TWRP
Android 7.0 Nougat / EMUI 5.0
1 - Already unlocked bootloader
2 - Already installed all those Huawei Drivers / ADB and all sorts of things
3 - Already usb debug mode ON and also OEM unlock active
4 - Already used the adb flash recovery recovery.img
5 - After the steps above, rebooted device in bootloader recovery, but it never goes to boot TWRP, only to Erecovery Huawei
Can someone help me, step by step, how to make the system boots first to TWRP and skip Erecovery Huawei?
Many thanks

The command is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

yes, sorry, I used this one, it even appears the the file being flashed to device, but the problem is when I try to boot it, goes all the time to erecovery, not to twrp thing. Is it possible to skip or change priority to make it boot twrp first?

What TWRP did you use?

I've tried a lot of them (3.0.2 was the last one, if I'm not wrong), but all seems not being working
I wonder if I'm not doing something wrong when restarting the device, maybe I'll try again some steps, but if someone here could give me an precise step by step and a 100% guarantee twrp file, maybe I could figure out what was wrong
Do you know someone whose cellphone is the same as mine?
Many thanks for your attention, I'll do my best to follow your instructions

I tried with other twrps, like elite twrp, twrp, and from the quide that i mentiond, that twrp too.

Hello,
if i'm correct you are still on android 6.x/emui 4.x.
You used SRKTool so why haven't used that tool to flash recovery too ?
It's included in the tool.
You need 3.0.2-0 for your android version.
If you want to flash it with fastboot, when finished
disconnect from pc and manually reboot recovery holding vol+ and power buttons.
Cheers

Android 6 > TWRP 3.0.2-0
Android 7 > TWRP 3.1.1-1
Ensure you have drivers installed in your pc.
Ensure you have OEM unlock and DEBUG USB enabled in developer option.
With fastboot: >>> fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img (ensure you put the recovery inside the fastboot folder)
>>> fastboot reboot recovery or shoutdown and reboot holding vol+ and power buttons (until it boots in TWRP).
Done.
Cheers

Thanks. I managed to get it working more przez less. Now i have two recoveries . One accessible while holding vol+ during power up and stock recovery when i press vol+ for 3s on "your device is unlocked and therefore it should not be trusted" screen.

> 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?

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.

And after flashing that TWRP can I still install Huawei updates like security patches etc... even if I don't have stock recovery?

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 ....
