due to my illness, I'm unable to complete my work, but with current version twrp you can root & install busybox do other rooted things. Things you can't are install magisk modules & flash some files via twrp as it unable to mount internal storage.
In the current state, I'm unable to finish my work still uploading it for whoever wants to root their devices.
ur device bootloader must be unlocked before u going to flash twrp
after flashing recovery manually boot android to recovery do not use fastboot reboot, it takes 30 sec to boot into recovery, then press power = vol up 2-3 then u will see recovery asking password for decrypting just cancel & slide allow modification & then mount system & microsd then flash magisk from sd card, reboot system & then again boot to recovery do same thing this time flash busybox zip then u can use root all root apps.
I'm making tutorial video and will post on separate thread guide

I successfully rooted Lenovo K8 Note by following your steps thanks to you for making the recovery and posting the tutorial. Also I thank the person from China Andy_zhang for providing the stock firmware.

These are the steps I followed for rooting Lenovo K8 note.

  1. Download twrp posted in this thread and magisk zip file and the APK file of magisk manager.
  2. Credits to ysalunke007 for providing the twrp in this link https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8WbEJ1ZXbsvM29oYjEzNEE1Xzg
  3. Now backup the data of your device to SD card and remove SD card.
  4. Enable USB debugging and OEM unlock and use ADB to command "adb reboot bootloader" and then "fastboot oem unlock".
  5. Now confirm unlock using vol buttons and then command fastboot reboot.
  6. Restore the backups and insert SD card after putting magisk files in it.
  7. Now again use adb reboot bootloader. Rename twrp to recovery.img and put it in ADT folder.
  8. Command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
  9. Disconnect usb cable. Press power key + vol keys to power off. It may take upto 15 seconds.
  10. Now press power key + vol up and then choose recovery in the menu.
  11. After some 30 Seconds try pressing any button. Cancel entering password but swipe to allow modifications.
  12. Then install magisk zip and wipe cache.
  13. Reboot device and install magisk manager.
Now you will have ROOT access.

My steps are not the best one. So it is good to wait for many people getting success and share their steps. Because one of them soft bricked their devices. I think supersu might soft brick, so use magisk because magisk will not modify system. If you want video tutorial then wait for sometime, the dev who made this twrp is making the video tutorial.

Please explain steps more clearly..
@andy_zhang how you got stock firmware?
I'm searching k8 plus stock firmware

I mentioned the steps in previous post for k8 note. I think k8 plus steps differ a lot because of different chipset. This twrp was ported from twrp of redmi note 4 mediatek which has helio x20 and the model number is same as helio x23. And for stock firmware ask @andy_zhang.

Is it possible to install viper4android and adaway? With magisk?
Why SuperSU will brick?

K8 Note:
uploaded the scatter file found in mirror of @lovelengfeng of the stock image by @andy_zhang
I think the file has everything u need to get your phone up and running, try with flashtool first..
Please go through the flashall.bat (windows) and flashall.sh(linux)
It looks like we can relock the bootloader after unlock?

    Rooting steps for Lenovo K8 Note

    due to my illness, I'm unable to complete my work, but with current version twrp you can root & install busybox do other rooted things. Things you can't are install magisk modules & flash some files via twrp as it unable to mount internal storage.
    In the current state, I'm unable to finish my work still uploading it for whoever wants to root their devices.
    ur device bootloader must be unlocked before u going to flash twrp
    after flashing recovery manually boot android to recovery do not use fastboot reboot, it takes 30 sec to boot into recovery, then press power = vol up 2-3 then u will see recovery asking password for decrypting just cancel & slide allow modification & then mount system & microsd then flash magisk from sd card, reboot system & then again boot to recovery do same thing this time flash busybox zip then u can use root all root apps.
    I'm making tutorial video and will post on separate thread guide
