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..

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...
weird... but i am no expert here... just lucky enough to not brick the phone

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.

Locked bootloader Lenovo Vibe K5 Note K52e78 (chinese version)

Hi,
I've some problems with my Lenovo K5 note, I successfully rooted it with SuperSu and I can connect to it with Mtk Droid Tools (green rectangle at the bottom).
I've also a valid scatter file, and a stock rom backup that I can flash with sp flash tool.
The problem is that I can't flash a modded recovery image with sp flash tool, and can't write to recovery partition in fastboot mode.
So, I think the bootloader is locked, i can type "fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot mode, but when the phone display "Press volume up for Yes/Volume Down for No), volume up don't work, only volume down do...
Is that impossible to unlock the bootloader on this phone now ?
Thanks and sorry for my bad english

How to root?

You can root this phone if you run on Lollipop (5.1) but you can't if you have Marshmallow (6.0).
You need to use Kingroot and next you can replace it with superSu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989)

It seems to be possible to write to recovery partition with a tool like Rashr or Flashify : when I flash a recovery.img (non compatible image because there is no custom recovery for this phone), I reboot to recovery and the screen turn black 5 seconds, and the phone restart to normal android system. I can reflash stock recovery, and the chinese recovery is back again.
Is there hope ?

Anyone know how to unlock bootloader to flash twrp recovery image to Lenovo K5 Note?

After hours of research on the Lenovo K5 note (K52e78), mine is chinese version
I believe this phone you cannot unlock the bootloader.
I get stuck on the 'press up button' to unlock to which there is no response from the phone. I will now give up.
If anyone finds a way please let me know, as generally it is a good phone with great battery, and if I can install a custom ROM it could be a fun phone to use.

[Question] Huawei P10 Lite stuck in "Huawei eRecovery" screen

Hello,
My Huawei P10 Lite is bricked (or not ...), but I can not boot the system.
After restoring a backup through TRWP, I always get the "Huawei eRecovery" screen and I can not start the android system. This screen should allow download a recovery but the connection always fails.
I am able to load *.img files throuth the fastboot, and with that I am able to load the TWRP recovery (if needed).
At this point the bootloader is locked, but I also have the unlock code. So it's not a problem.
After some research on the internet it seems that it is necessary to reinstall the stock recovery ... Is it the only way to recover the smartphone?
Does anyone have a stock recovery image?
Ideas?
My model is a WAS-LX1A (Portugal).
Thanks

Same here. same country, same model. Have you solved it?

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

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?

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

Hello, I’m not sure I fully understand your question, mostly what you mean by "without flashing".
TWRP is basically an advanced recovery for a phone that can act as a replacement of the Stock recovery. So if you want to use TWRP, you have to install it over Stock recovery. In fastboot mode run command
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk (name-of-TWRP-file).img
Once it’s completed, type the command
fastboot reboot
and unplug your phone.

You can install the latest Magisk without problems. I am running open kirin's latest LOS 16 and I prefer it to Huawei's stock EMUI 8
