Hi all,
Well I love my phone, just love it! BUT having bought it from China, like many I am stuck with the Chinese Model and firmware. Huawei Australia have assisted in unlocking the bootloader, now I am ready to root the phone. BUT, I have not had any luck sourcing a root method for it. Can someone please PLEASE help.
I am desperate as it keeps booting me out of Google Play Services, rendering my Huawei watch useless (ironic huh)
Any help would be appreciated. Email me if you like [email protected]

That sounds to easy, only question, how do I do that? Is there an instruction manual or guidance anywhere?
I have flashed other phones in the past but this one is stumping me.
I have looked for some of these methods only to be completing surveys that inundate me with spam and phone calls, only to be left without the downloads that I needed. Did I mention how much I love my phone?
Thanks again

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..

Sadly, this does not work for me. I did everything you suggested and in the command window I get nothing

Thanks so much for your concern, I know. But I love the phone but need to make it more Android (Google) friendly as it has Chinese firmware which keeps ending any relationship I have with google play services thus rendering the phone useless (almost)

The recovery img file link did you downloaded it?
You must download it and but the recovery.img file in fastboot folder
Then rename it to recovery.img.
And open cmd orders from fastboot folder .
Just type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You must download the recovery file into the same folder that you ran your command and in your case "p8 max root". Make sure that the recovery filename is recovery.img instead of some other names.

Hello,
I have twice but now I am stuck on the Huawei logo and powered by Android screen. I can boot into Stock Bootload but no longer TWRP
even though I have reflashed recovery twice. Just chinese language and the EMUI screen with the three options
I think it's time to unroot and flash a new system and do it like i posted, then it will work!

In order to root there are various ways, I did it the way I am use to with supersu, just reboot in TWRP and flash the latest supersu zip from here.
http://www.supersu.com/download
If you don't want to flash twrp you can achieve systemless root with magisk, just search there are plenty of tutorials.
After that you would probably need to install buysybox, then you can use root explorer to remove any stock app that you don't like, you can flash a new bootanimation, I flashed the zenfone 4 one, possibilty are endless.
Have fun.:laugh:
Does this work on the latest nougat firmware?
new firmware update
OK, there is a new update Version WW-14.0200.1710.336.
Just updated the phone myself without problem and kept root, this is how...
Download the full firmware update from this page https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC553KL/HelpDesk_Download/
Copy it to your device, make sure you also have a copy of supersu.zip and twrp.img.
Reboot in TWRP mode, press install and select the new firmware that you have copied on the device, once done, repeat install with supersu.zip, once done repated one more time install this time select the install image option and install twrp.img.
Reboot and you should be updated and rooted.
P.S. If you did not unlock bootloader and root before update, try the all process to unlock and root, following the guide at the biginning of this post.
Have fun...:laugh:
Can you move it to a google drive?
Hello,
Can you upload the folder contents in a google drive instead?

OK so this is what you do....
Place the twrp.img file in your adb folder,
reboot phone in bootloader mode,
press shift with right button on the mouse and open a command prompt inside adb folder,
type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
type
Code:
fastboot reboot
and while you press volume down, press enter, if you have done everything right, phone should boot in TWRP.

Phone: Nokia 3
ROM / Android version: Android Nougat 7.1
Root: No
Xposed, or any other modifications: No
Any physical damage prior to defect: No
Describe your issue:
So basically I was following a tutorial on droidviews /unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-root-nokia-3/ and I installed adb on my computer and stuff etc, drivers.
Here is what I'd done
C:\adb>adb reboot recovery
Then device rebooted to recovery, and I went to fastboot from there. Now the device is stuck on a blank screen with the text:
"=> FASTBOOT mode..."
I've tried
- Holding Power button for 10+ seconds with and without charging cable
- Holding Power + VolDown button for 10+ seconds with and without charging cable
- Holding Power button down for 2 minutes...
- Connecting via PC and doing fastboot reboot / fasboot reboot recovery
- Connecting via PC and doing adb reboot
When connecting via USB 2.0 or 3.0, adb nor fastboot seem to be able to detect the device.
No results yet.
Any help is appreciated
Hi There ! Try Vol-up +Vol-down with 2 fingers and Power button.Always work!
All the best !
@Siniister Petrica is right, i just want to tell you that most guides that you find on internet except XDA for Nokia 3 are fake, so be careful.

unzip stock_recovery.zip and put it on platform-tools. then use fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery stock-recovery.img" (without quotes). If you want to flash twrp, flash it with Flashify.

Realme have given the bootloader unlock service in Realme 1 but anyone knows how to unlock bootloader and root Realme 1.
They have pushed the update for some devices , contains bootloader Unlock support.
Yet they still didn't give any tool to unlock or procedure, need to wait a few days for that, this company software support is very delaying.
They have released the guide now and unlocking bootloader took me about 30 mins.

Can't boot into fastboot after unlocking
Hi, can anyone help me with this. I unlocked my bootloader successfully. But after that when I am trying to get into fastboot mode I am not able to do so. Whenever I run "adb reboot fastboot" phone restarts and on the restart logo screen I get a message saying -
"Orange state- this device can't be trusted as it is unlocked.
Reboot in 5 sec"
And then the device gets booted to normal mode. I even tried to rerun the indepth app to get into fastboot mode but that also not redirecting to fastboot mode. App says - "You can only apply to exit in depth test after carryin out bootloader lock operation in fastboot mode"
Now, the problem is if I can't go to fastboot, I can't flash anything and I can't relock my bootloader. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S I already enagle usb debugging after unlocking the bootloader and I could see the device in adb devices command.
First you need to update Your Phone to CPH1861EX_11.A.29 Then You can unlock With this Guide https://romprovider.com/2019/03/unlock-bootloader-realme-1/

Rooting only requires flashing magisk or super su using a custom recovery like twrp. twrp can be made without the kernel sources.
Edit : it seems device sources are required for TWRP. That's why realme 2 pro got it so quickly because they released lite kernel sources with the bootloader unlock update for it.

until and unless realme released its kernel source, it is not possible to install twrp recovery, since to make twrp for realme1 , kernel source is needed.

Sorry for the delay bro, I think you can't unlock the bootloader of Your Phone, bcoz it is not directly from the realme, I mean the phone which u bought is customized by your sim(carrier) company
