In the way to root...questions to a guide of affraid user - LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers

Hello! I'm kind of affraid to root my phone (I do it with my previous phons but this is something else, I'm affraid to brick it), so I want to post the steps I understand I must do to root to confirm and go for it with a relief mood. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
I have a Le Max X829
1 - Go to developer options, active debug mode and oem unlock mode
2 - Turn off the phone. Put it on recovery? Leave it off? (how can I access?) and go to ADB on Windows (I have W7). Execute command: fastboot devices to see if the devices is recognized, if it's execute fastboot oem unlock (name of the TWRP image) [I have to put the file on the phone or isn't neccesary?). Enter the command and wait. I'll lost everything that I have on the phone right? (that happen when I unlock the bootloader on my Moto E)
3 - Once is done, unplug the phone from the computer and turn it on. Install magisk manager and put magisk installer and uninstaller on the internal storage. Reboot the phone to TWRP and install Magisk
4 - Boot the phone and done
Is everything ok in that way? Is the way to root the phone? I want to do it to use Greenify properly, to use L-Speed or Helix

Fastboot command works only on bootloader mode, power on with volume down pressed, but its good you follow this guide.

Yes, for unlock bootloader the memory is wiped, so make a full backup first.

If you can boot into android make a backup of your internal data, photos, music etc.
If not, maybe, over the stock recovey you can do it, i never tested with stock recovery.

ok Beackman, one more question, once I unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, when I turn on the phone it will be like a factory reset? I mean, I have to configure wifi, google accounts, etc?

I didn't do nothing yet, but I see the oem info through fastboot and this appear. Does it mean that I don't have to unlock the bootloader, the bootloader is already unlocked?

Yes already unlocked, just jump for part of flashing TWRP and so on.
