I wont really help i think it still sounds like some driver problem for me.

Still trying to root: Used 3 different computers, Window 10, Win 98, Mac but same issue, wont flash boot image. QUESTIONS: even though my phone says its unlocked (And I can use it on Verizon, cricket, etc), maybe it is not unlocked?
OR Since I have dual sims, maybe only one is "unlocked"? ANY help?
OR do I have to remove SD card in order for ADB to work? Thanks

Try to make an Bootable Live Linux USB/DVD and try to flash the files there.
hi. i have no clue how to do this and dont know linux at all.... ALSO, my phone shows it is unlocked. However, I am on cricket and all is fine but I just put in my friends Verizon sim card and my phone had no connection! So is my phone unlocked or is my phone specific to certain bands? Thanks

    I register for Huawei ID then waited 14 days.

    Now got my unlock codes!

    Thanks!!!

    If I try to unlock my bootloader on that Huawei page, I'm getting

    "The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days".

    Is there any way to root the P8max without waiting for 14 days?! Damn Huawei!

    EDIT

    Screw Huawei, if you don't want to wait 14 days and you're willing to spend 4$ you can use DC-Unlocker to get the bootloader code. Just follow this guide, it's pretty simple:

    You also need to buy 4 credits here:
