Need guide to root my Max Pro M2 Zenfone,.
and what recommended software to use.
 
To root your Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2, you can follow the steps below:

Step 1: Unlock the bootloader:
1. Go to "Settings" on your device.
2. Tap on "About phone" and then "Software information."
3. Locate the "Build number" and tap on it seven times to enable Developer Options.
4. Go back to the main "Settings" menu and open "Developer options."
5. Enable "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging."
6. Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.

Step 2: Install TWRP Recovery:
1. Download the TWRP recovery image specific to your device model from a trusted source. Make sure to download the latest version.
2. Download and install the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) and Fastboot tools on your computer.
3. Open a command prompt or terminal window on your computer.
4. Navigate to the folder where you installed the ADB and Fastboot tools.
5. Copy the downloaded TWRP recovery image to this folder.
6. In the command prompt or terminal, enter the following command:
adb devices
This will verify that your device is properly connected and recognized by the computer.
7. Next, enter the following command to boot your device into Fastboot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
8. Once your device enters Fastboot mode, enter the following command to flash TWRP recovery:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery_image_filename.img>
Replace <recovery_image_filename.img> with the actual name of the TWRP recovery image file.
9. Once the flashing process is complete, enter the following command to reboot your device:
fastboot reboot

Step 3: Root your device:
1. Download the latest version of Magisk, which is a popular tool for rooting Android devices.
2. Copy the Magisk zip file to your device's internal storage.
3. Power off your device.
4. Boot your device into TWRP recovery mode by pressing and holding the volume up and power buttons simultaneously until the TWRP logo appears.
5. In TWRP recovery, tap on "Install" and navigate to the location where you copied the Magisk zip file.
6. Select the Magisk zip file and swipe the "Swipe to confirm flash" button to begin the rooting process.
7. Once the flashing process is complete, tap on "Reboot System."

After following these steps, your Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 should be successfully rooted. As for recommended software, Magisk is widely used and recommended for rooting Android devices as it offers systemless root access, allowing you to use apps that may not work on rooted devices otherwise.
