   • Enable USB Debugging: Open phone’s Settings » select Developer options » Tick the “USB debugging” check-box (under Debugging section).
2. Connect your phone to PC with a USB cable and if a pop-up screen shows up on phone asking you to Allow USB debugging for the computer, make sure you tick the checkbox and tap OK.
   
3. On your One Max, go to Settings » select Battery and in the Battery menu make sure Fast boot is unchecked. Un-check it if it is enabled.
4. Extract the installer file htc-one-max-t6vzw-twrp-recovery.zip (using 7-zip free software, preferably). You’ll get the following files, and one folder:
   • api (folder)
   • 1-click-twrp-recovery-installer.bat
   • adb.exe
   • AdbWinApi.dll
   • AdbWinUsbApi.dll
   • fastboot.exe

   └Note: In case the script gets stuck on < waiting for device > (see image below) for more than a minute or so, then it means you don’t have proper drivers installed on your computer for your One Max. Follow the drivers installation guide provided above for troubleshooting driver and other connectivity issues.
