Finally I got the method to root Lenovo Vibe K5 Note/A7020a48. If you are the one who is tired of searching how to root your device then you are at right place
But before we get started here are the things that you need (only for marshmallow user, lollipop user need only 1 thing which is given in method section)
Requirements
1. Your Device (of course)
2. Your Current Stock Rom's Firmware(You can easily get it in firmwarefile.com)
3. A Working PC (first check whether you can successfully connect your device to your pc or not)
4. ADB and Fastboot Tools
5. A working Brain
BONUS:-You can use this method to root any (5.1+) device (if it has general unlocking system, This method is supported by 95% devices).
Now It's Time To Rock
METHOD for Lollipop users
Download and install kingroot, open it and follow the tutorial given in that app
METHOD for Marshmallow Users
1. Make complete backup of your data, Everything except ext. storage of your device will be erased.
Now Follow the steps from 2 to 11 to unlock bootloader (you can skip it if you already unlocked it)
2. Go to your phone settings>About phone, tap on build no. 7 times and then go back you will see a new { } developer option just above the about phone option
3. Go to developer option and enable OEM unlocking and USB Debugging
4. Connect your device to your pc and install adb and fastboot tool system wide
5. Open command prompt or power shell
Note- Windows 10 users have to write .\ as prefix before every command.
6. Type
Code:
adb devices
You will see a prompt on device, just click on always allow this computer and press ok or allow whatever given there. You will see your a long set of random Numbers and letters after that if its written device then your phone is successfully connected to your pc.
7. After that type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Your phone will reboot into bootloader mode
8.Type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
There you see at last some lines which tells you about your bootloader status if you see Unlocked = no then your bootloader is locked and if it says Unlocked = yes then it is unlocked and if it is unlocked then you can stop here
Now for those who has a locked bootloader
9. Type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
(In some devices which is shipped with android 6.0 or higher you may have to write fastboot flash unlock don't write this command for your Vibe K5 note/A7020a48)
10. Most Important step Type
Code:
fastboot format userdata
. If you skip this you may get bootloop (I skipped that and got bootloop)
11. Type again
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Now you will see Unlocked=yes and Congrats!!! you has unlocked your phone's bootloader
12. Disconnect your device and press and hold power button until it reboots
Now follow the steps to root your device
13. Now from your stock firmware file extract boot.img which is given in the folder named firmware and copy it any where in your device
14. Install magisk manager from here -> Official website
15. After opening the app you'll see it is written that Magisk not installed click on the install button and select patch boot.img option,
16. Now select your boot.img file which you have extracted from your firmware file. After selection it will start to patch that boot.img and store patched_boot.img file in download folder of your device internal storage, copy that file at any folder in your pc (not in desktop)
17. Now go to the folder where you copied that patched_boot.img file and press right click on your mouse while holding shift button of your keyboard (Shift + Right click in simple words) and you will see an additional option of open command window/powershell here click on that and connect your device with your pc.
18. Before getting started with commands follow step 2 and 3 again
19. Repeat step 6 and 7
20. After going into bootloader mode Type
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
(in this code boot is partition and patched_boot.img is file name which you are going to flash).
21. Disconnect your phone ,press and hold powerkey until it reboots
Congrats Device ROOTED!!!

I enabled oem unlocking but still it shows "unlock not allowed"
Does this really works?? I want to try it
Did you actually unlock bootloader and root the device ? As far I know, in all other threads, none has confirmed any method.
After "fastboot getvar all" command, nothing happens. (PC => waiting for device.. PHONE => stuck at "Fastbood Mode"text)
Same for "fastboot oem unlock" command
I really want to permanent root for => LENOVO K5 NOTE (a7020a48). Years gone but no luck !
If your method is true then please answer us :crying:
Got stuck at "Unsupportive project for unlock" on my vibe K5note. Any help here please?
so . for those who are stuck at fast boot try and install the driver from this link :
[OFFICIAL][TOOL][WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3
15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3 ADB, Fastboot and Drivers What is this? This is All-in-One installer for 3 most needed PC tools for Android. No need to download big SDK for 3 small things. I originaly made it for my Kurdish friend AnGrY DuDe in...
forum.xda-developers.com
this didn't work for me and i had to download and install "rescue and smart assistant" from the lenovo website
Rescue and Smart Assistant (RSA) - Lenovo Support AU
support.lenovo.com
once downloaded and installed , i could update the "Android" driver from device manager --> selecting the moto interface (not the composite one) instead the google one ( step by step : youtube.com/watch?v=nQjg6ePnGAc )
Once that's done , reboot to fastboot via adb
Now when I type fastboot devices I can finally see my device
however... i was getting " (bootloader) Unsupportive project for unlock "
no luck . . .
Edit:
if you however do have an OTG cable maybe try this method :
GitHub - BiltuDas1/unlock-Bootloader: Unlock Bootloader of any Device using PC or Android.
Unlock Bootloader of any Device using PC or Android. - GitHub - BiltuDas1/unlock-Bootloader: Unlock Bootloader of any Device using PC or Android.

Note:
Magisk v12.0 modules works, but you need to install modules throught twrp only, for removing modules you need to mount /data/magisk.img to any empty folder like /oem in twrp and delete the module folder.
Before flashing this v12, flash the magisk uninstaller zip found on magisks official thread and then flash this v12
Note: This root method is founded by @GeneticEnginer and posted by me with his permission.

U missed 9th step after flashing recovery. You must have to clear data after flashing recovery. And supersu is not working with moto g5s plus.. Use magisk. All steps are clearly mentioned in op.
been following your guide in unlocking the bootloader... up until "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" the command prompt replied with nothing...
any help is appreciated
edit 1:
in turned out that i need a different PC to do this... dunno why... tho i've tried with some other USB in my previous laptop...
progress 1:
now the command "fastboot reboot recovery" didnt make me boot into recovery... i can boot into phone normally...
tried power + vol up = boots normally;
power + vol down = the old moto bootloader/fastboot menu;
tried power + vol down + vol up = the old moto bootloader/fastboot menu
in the old moto fastboot menu, tried the recovery option, but when i got there, no option at all
tracing back to flashing recovery:
"E:\Download\Android\G5s\ADB>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-sanders.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (10236 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.261s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
OKAY [ 0.229s]
finished. total time: 0.491s"
is that normal?
progress 2:
tried different twrp image from other source, and tried your guide again... now i can boot to TWRP...
and rooted... thx for the guyide
Moto G5S
Is there any chance of this working on G5S (not the Plus version)?

I tried to different versions of Twrp from two sources, and I get the message about image not signed our corrupt. I even tried flashing the stock recovery and it won't let me do that. Unlocking the bootloader went fine. Any help is appreciated.
Hello guys, in this guide I will tell you how to unlock the bootloader of the Moto E6 Plus.

What we will do first is a downgrade to version 76 of firmware since the new versions it's not allowed unlock bootloader, for this we will use SP Flash Tool v5.1916 (since the most current version does not give an error) and later we will flash some files for complete the unlock bootloader besides that we will install TWRP to install some GSI since the stock system it cannot be used.
This process is for 32/2 and 64/4 variant.
Links of download at the end of the post.
WARNING: THIS PROCESS ERASES ALL USER DATA AND VOIDS THE WARRANTY IN ADDITION THAT THE SYSTEM STOCK CANNOT BE USED.
Spoiler: PROCESS OF THE UNLOCK WITH WINDOWS
Prerequisites:
A computer with Windows (bruh)
ADB and Fastboot installed
Have installed the device drivers to be detected in fastboot mode.
Have downloaded the lk, vbmeta and recovery files.
Have downloader SP Flashtool and the ROM to downgrade.
READ THE FULL GUIDE TO AVOID ERRORS IN THE PROCESS SINCE THIS UNLOCKING METHOD IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER MOTOROLA PHONE.
Once the necessary files have been downloaded the process is the following"
Unpack the SP Flash Tool and open "flash_tool.exe" file.
Once opened the app they will have to press up to the right the section "Options" and select "Option", when i open them they have to uncheck the second option.
Then close the window and in the "Download-Agent" press in "Choose" and search inside the unzipped zip folder a file named "DA_SWSEC_1848_PTA29.76.bin" or similary and select it. Then in "Scatter-loading File" press in "Choose" and just like before navigate to the same rute and select the file "MT6765_Android_scatter" and click on "Ok", and in "Authentication File" some select "Choose" and select "auth_sv5.auth" file and click in "Ok".
Now remove the battery of the phone and in Flash Tool press on "Donwload" and connect the phone without battery and start to flash.
Once the flashing finishes place the battery again and boot it in FASTBOOT (not system), then in terminal put the next command to unlock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
And press Volume + in the phone to unlock the bootlaoder and DO NOT reboot still
Spoiler: If you logged into the system directly
In case of having started in the system without installing the files, you will have to start in the recovery mode and do a factory format.
After that you can flash the files from fastboot.
Now flash the lk, vbmeta and twrp files with the next commands:
Code:
fastboot flash lk lk.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Now restart in recovery and go to Wipe > System > Advanced options > Resize.
Without this it would appear that there is 8GB of memory instead of 32/64.Now it only remains to flash the GSI.
Spoiler: PROCESS OF THE UNLOCK WITH LINUX
Prerequisites:
A computer with Linux (bruh)
ADB and Fastboot installed
Have downloaded the lk, vbmeta and recovery files.
Have downloader SP Flashtool and the ROM to downgrade.
READ THE FULL GUIDE TO AVOID ERRORS IN THE PROCESS SINCE THIS UNLOCKING METHOD IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER MOTOROLA PHONE.
Once the necessary files have been downloaded the process is the following
Unpack the SP Flash Tool, and mark as to executable "flash_tool" file and open as superuser, if you don't know the commands are the following:
Code:
sudo chmod +x flash_tool
sudo ./flash_tool
Now in the "Download-Agent" press in "Choose" and search inside the unzipped zip folder a file named "DA_SWSEC_1848_PTA29.76.bin" or similary and select it. Then in "Scatter-loading File" press in "Choose" and just like before navigate to the same rute and select the file "MT6765_Android_scatter" and click on "Ok", and in "Authentication File" some select "Choose" and select "auth_sv5.auth" file and click in "Ok".
Now remove the battery of the phone and in Flash Tool press on "Donwload" and connect the phone without battery and start to flash.
Once the flashing finishes place the battery again and boot it in FASTBOOT (not system), then in terminal put the next command to unlock the bootloader:
Code:
sudo fastboot flashing unlock_critical
And press Volume + in the phone to unlock bootloader and DO NOT reboot still.
Spoiler: If you logged into the system directly
In case of having started in the system without installing the files, you will have to start in the recovery mode and do a factory format.
After that you can flash the files from fastboot.
Now flash the lk, vbmeta and twrp files with the next commands:
Code:
sudo fastboot flash lk lk.img
sudo fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Now restart in recovery and go to Wipe > System > Advanced options > Resize.
Without this it would appear that there is 8GB of memory instead of 32/64.Now it only remains to flash the GSI.
If you don't know which GSI to try first, I recommend one from Phhusson, Ermitain or Andy.
NOTE: The system will be encrypted, and in this build of TWRP the encryption is not support so the files of internal storage will appear with numbers and letters random, if you want to remove the encryption flash the dm-verity.
NOTE 2: After unlocking the bootloader you can update the firmware to the latest version, but you will have to flash the lk and vbmeta files again (besides of recovery).
NOTE 3: The GSI architectures for each variant are: A64 AB for 32/2 and ARM64 AB for 64/4.
NOTE 4: If you are going to flash a GSI with GApps you will first have to flash a vanilla Phhusson GSI and start in it, after that you have to flash the GSI with GApps WITHOUT wipes and you can use it normally

Ahí te dice en la imagen, las GSIs compatibles son las que son A64 xd // There it tells you in the image, the compatible GSIs are those that are A64 xd
Dont get it, there is way too many fake websites with USB drivers for ADB and fastboot and none of them are working, ive tried your adb driver aswell but once I get into fastboot windows just says: Android device with a 28 error code which means that there is no driver installed, could you give me the link?
EDIT: adb only works when the device has booted.

mmmm, look first trying with lmsa to have as it tells you to do the firmware re-installation, then do the same steps you did in the LMSA but in the flashtool
If you want to downgrade you have to do it with the firmware of the e6s because if you do it with the e6 plus your phone will have birck.
thanks to yahoo mike for solving the problem with the TWRP not working, you're a saint!
due to the fact that i want to prevent the painful process of trying to find out which twrp works for TB-X605L_S210224_200910_ROW, i will have to point it out to those who have the kind of firmware installed on their Lenovo Tab M10 and try to use TWRP version higher than 4.0 and it doesnt work - TWRP will never work, but there's still a way out for people who want root:
THE MAGISK BOOT.IMG METHOD IN THE FLESH FOR PEOPLE WHOSE TABLETS CANT GET ROOTED THE TWRP WAY!
Disclaimer: the boot.img file which was patched by magisk only works with TB-X605L_S210224_200910_ROW
For other versions you have to use LMSA to snatch the firmware and get the specific files.
This method also works on TB-X605X - same LMSA procedure, same result.
what will you need:
the first and important one - knowledge that i dont care if you couldnt use your 2 brain cells to follow the steps and proceed to brick the device by slapping a boot image on a recovery one and the fact that if you havent started the process yet your data (if theyre not backed up) will be WIPED
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2 - a tablet, obviously (common sense)
3 - a computer
4 - Android SDK platform tools
5 - boot.img with magisk installed on it
6 (optional) - If you have no ramdisk, LMSA to at least get the recovery.img file
THE STEPS:
if you havent started the rooting process yet:
Spoiler
Code:
1 - Go to device details and tap the serial number 7 times, dev mode should activate
2 - Go to dev settings and activate OEM unlocking and USB debugging
3 - On your computer you should have downloaded SDK platform tools, extract in C:/
4 - Afterwards get into the platform-tools folder, click the path line and type CMD
5 - Type adb devices to see if it installed correctly, your device should appear
6 - Type adb reboot bootloader, wait until the device reboots, you should see FASTBOOT MODE in red text
7 (LAST CHANCE TO BACK UP YOUR FILES, IF YOU PROCEED YOUR UNBACKED DATA WILL BE PERMANENTLY WIPED) - Type this: fastboot oem unlock-go
8 - type fastboot reboot
YOU MAY PROCEED TO THE ROOTING PROCESS PART 2.
If you already unlocked OEM (ROOTING PROCESS PART 2):
1 - Go on your device and download Magisk Manager (Version is 23.0)
2 - install the APK file
3 - open magisk manager and check the ramdisk
We will look at 2 situations:
Yay! Ramdisk is checked as Yes! The process will be hassle free and you wont have to use LMSA to get the firmware!:
Spoiler
Code:
1 - On your computer put the modified boot.img file into the platform-tools folder (Dont worry, it doesnt bite)
2 - Move on to the CMD prompt and enter: adb reboot bootloader
3 - then type in: fastboot flash boot (THE FILE)
4 - after that reboot your device by typing in: fastboot reboot
5 - HURRAH! Now you have installed root using the boot method AND without TWRP! Its best to check it with root checker for best measure though.
OH HELL NAH! IN THIS RARE CIRCUMSTANCE YOUR RAMDISK IS LITERALLY NONEXISTANT AS CONFIRMED BY THE CHECKED NO! HERE'S THE HARD WAY:
Spoiler
Code:
1 - If not already, download LMSA (or just search on the internet lul)
2 - Install LMSA and make sure you have connected your device to the computer
3 - Go to the Rescue tab and download the Firmware
4 - the path should be C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles\TB-X605L_S210224_200910_ROW, you should see recovery.img
5 - snatch it and then place it into the download folder of your device
6 - use magisk manager to install magisk on the recovery image (MAKE SURE TO CHECK RECOVERY MODE IN MAGISK MANAGER OPTIONS, IT MUST BE CHECKED!!!!)
7 - snatch it by typing the command into the command prompt: adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img
8 - boot your device into bootloader with this: adb reboot bootloader
9 - now flash it into recovery: fastboot flash recovery magisk_patched_[random strings].img
10 - reboot with fastboot reboot
11 - Congrats, you got root! Unfortunately for you and your nonexistant ramdisk you have to boot into recovery to run the system with magisk
12 - use the recovery key combo until you see the splash screen, then release the keys. You will boot into magisk as it hijacks the recovery
13 - and thats how you root without ramdisk! you have gone through the entire pain of having to now use the recovery combo and releasing keys in order to boot into the system with root, but hey, you got root!
if you brick your device and/or meet the device reaper under the name of QUALCOMM USB DIAGNOSTIC, you're pretty much dead and i do not take any responsibility. that was your choice to go with this method.
if you blame me for anything ranging from alarm clock app failing and cant wake you up because it couldnt access the vibration and/or sound to a god forsaken thermonuclear war because the error code of the qualcomm usb diagnostic somehow gave you nuclear access codes, here's the response: COPE AND SEETHE

Hi all,
Haven't seen a guide for this and thought I would write one for myself and others
DISCLAIMER* I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed (like it did for me...).
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
* Your warranty will be void if you tamper with any part of your device / software.
You will also lose any L3 Widevine DRM Certification, aka no more HD netflix. Please keep this in mind.
REQUIREMENTS:
SDK Platform-tools (Get it here)
Getting boot.img
Download Lenovo Rescue and Smart assistant.
Link: https://support.lenovo.com/au/en/downloads/ds101291-rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa
You'll need a lenovo ID, Sign in or register an account
and once there go to "Rescue" > Tablet Rescue
Input your serial number > Make sure it finds the tablet > Click Start Rescue to download the firmware
The download is about 2.6GB
Navigate to
Code:
C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles\YT_J706F_S000049_211204_ROW
Which should have the firmware and boot.img
LET'S BEGIN!
Extract the SDK Platform tools folder to an easily accessible directory
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADERNOTE: THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA FROM YOUR DEVICE SO MAKE SURE TO TAKE A BACKUP IF NECESSARY
Extract the SDK Platform tools folder to an easily accessible directory
Go to Settings > About Tablet > Tap build number 7 times. Go back to main page of Settings > System > Developer options and enable OEM unlocking and USB Debugging
Reboot the system to bootloader (Press Vol - and Power key or type "adb reboot bootloader" by opening a command prompt window in Platform tools directory)
To unlock bootloader run the command
Bash:
fastboot flashing unlock
The device will do a factory reset and restart itself
After Setting up your device install the magisk app from GitHub. I recommend Magisk-v24.3 as that's what worked for me.
Link: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
ROOTING [MAGISK] - Using Fastboot
Transfer your boot.img to Internal Storage
You can use the command:
Bash:
adb push .\boot.img /storage/emulated/0/
After installing the magisk app Go to Install > Select and Patch a File
Select the boot.img you transferred to Internal Storage. Magisk will patch your boot.img and display the output folder after the process.
Transfer the Patched boot.img to your computer and rename it to boot_patched.img
Bash:
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Download/magisk_patched-[random_text].img
Reboot to Bootloader
Bash:
adb reboot bootloader
Flash the patched image
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_patched.img
You also need to flash vbmeta.img. This file is available in the firmware folder.
Bash:
fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
Reboot the device by typing
Code:
fastboot reboot
Check Magisk manager and the device must be rooted now
TroubleshootingBoot loop after flashing magiskCould be a variety of things. Make sure that:
You've flashed vbmeta.img
You're using v24.3 of magisk
To get back to a working stage you can flash the stock boot.img and vbmeta.img. To enter fastboot mode just hold Vol - (Vol Down) + Power button forever until the fastboot mode text appears on the screen.
fastboot not detecting deviceYou'll have to install a driver manually from device manager.
Install a driver already on this computer
Select Android Phone
Select Google
Select Android ADB composite driver
After that fastboot could recognise my tablet
ThanksJohannj22 For the guide on another version of lenovo tablet which I followed https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...of-lenovo-yoga-smart-tab-and-root-it.4387131/
Ofc Magisk for the ability to root so easily.
One of my first posts, sorry if there's any mistakes and let me know if there's any. There wasn't a forum for the yoga tab 11 so I posted here. I've been looking for months on how to root and I'm glad I figured it out and this post is here for others.
After typing flashing unlock command it enters fasboot mode and nothing happens, Left it for a while and nothing changed.
If I remember correctly it printed something on the fast boot screen when it started and when it's done. Then I rebooted into android to verify that it was actually wiped.
