This video is totally based on this post with the files mirrored to afh and no credits given. No one will face any issues on unlocking, tested 100+ times. If they did, its only because of their drivers.

People making these reviews and YouTube guides should link them to the xda thread so people will know about further developments and discussions on the thread will also be useful for them. But sadly they don't.

hello thanks for tutorial
I following every step until unlocking bootloader (I dont know how to check it if my bootloader unlock properly?)
Then when installing twrp, this command appear

Code: 
sending 'recovery' (59492 KB)...
FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed

anyone facing this issue? how to solve it? thanks

Edit:

I never had issue before with another phone. try restart my PC, uninstall reinstall driver, try all my USB port, change USB cables, still didn't make it. Seems Google can't help me :rolleyes:

And this happen if I type on cmd "fastboot devices" and then "fastboot flash recovery blabla.img"

    If you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot​

    Warranty will be VOID

    UNLOCK BOOTLOADER AND ROOT ASUS ZENFONE MAX PRO M2 (Unofficial)

    <Device will be formatted, so keep a backup >

    Requirements :
    Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2
    Windows / Linux

    Instructions :

    //unlocking
    Phone:
    - Go to Setting > System > About Phone and tap on the build number until developer option appears
    - Go back to Settings > System > Developer options and enable usb debugging ( If you had already enabled usb debugging, ignore this step)

    Windows:
    - Download "unlocker" and extract the files
    - Go to "adb + asus drivers" folder and install ADB and necessary drivers ( Linux users install adb, fastboot from their respective repositories )
    - Connect the device to PC on a USB 2.0 port
    - Go to "unlock" folder and open an Elevated command promt there and enter :

    Code: 
     adb devices
    ( Allow usb debugging box will appear, check "always allow debugging from this computer" and click OK ) and again enter

    Code: 
     adb devices
    (Device should be listed)

    Code: 
     adb reboot bootloader
    (Device will now enter fastboot )

    Code: 
     fastboot devices
    (Device should be listed )

    Now execute unlock.cmd (windows) or ./unlock.sh (linux)

    Device will show unlocked bootloader warning, encrypt and reboot
    Thats it, Bootloader is unlocked (Don't close the command prompt)

    //rooting

    - Download the recovery [ TWRP recommended ] and decrypt.zip from the links provided ( If you are on stock pie rom, use decrypt_pie.zip instead )
    - Go to "Root" folder of unlocker and copy magisk.apk to phone
    - Install magisk (update if available) > open > install > install > Download Zip only
    - Note the location of the downloaded zip file and move it from there to sd card
    - Move the decrypt.zip to sd card
    - Go to sec. //unlocking > Phone to enable usb debugging again
    - Copy the recovery image to "unlock" folder, go back to cmd and enter :

    Code: 
    adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
 
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-the-recovery".img

    - power off the device by pressing power button and go to recovery by pressing volume down + power button
    - Device will boot into recovery
    - If it asks for password, just cancel it
    - Wipe > Format data
    - Install > Flash decrypt.zip and magisk.zip that we copied to sdcard and reboot
    [ IF THE DEVICE STILL ENCRYPTS ITSELF, FLASH THE RECOVERY AGAIN AND FLASH OREO FIRMWARE AND REPEAT THE ABOVE STEP ]
    - Finally, go to magisk manager > install > install > direct install
    - If you want to move to other recoveries, flash the respective recovery zip provided
    - Reboot and You are done !

    Data Decryption (Pie)

    Piece of advice :
    If there comes any problem with this unlock process, NEVER try to unlock by official unlock tool, as you will not be able to install custom recovery and finally end up in an unlocked bootloader device with no warranty and no custom recovery to proceed further!!!
    in such cases fix the communication between phone and pc, instead of directly jumping to official tool​

    Yes. Warranty will be void. But there is always a possibility of relocking bootloader to obtain warranty.

    There is official method available on asus support page for max pro m2.
    Note: doing the official way there is no chance for relocking the bootloader and claiming warranty
