Blank P8max, advice please ?

Hello everyone,
well I really don't know how to start without embarrassing myself so here it goes. Somehow I managed wipe everything from my Huawei P8max. Completely everything. The phone was rooted before and I decided to update it and I erased everything. I can still flash it with the official root tool or official recovery but that's about it.

Right now I'm on official recovery and when I press volume + volume - and power button it says "Software install failed! The update package does not exist. Please download the package again."
I tried searching for firmware almost everywhere with no luck (including Huawei site)

I got no clue how to fix it I'm a noob, anyone can help me please?

Phone is DAV-703L

Best Regards,

E.
