There is already a guide to root with TWRP.
Would be great if you find way to root with exploit - without TWRP

That guide causes bootloop on F2FS.This method also works on f2fs file system.

I have a problem with this guide though. When I install Magisk through TWRP, when it flashes boot, it gets stuck, screen goes black for a while, then the phone vibrates and shows blue notification LED.... Really don't know what that's about

Turn off the phone and try again. The black screen and blue led is QFIL mode

Is any of our (unfortunately only) few developers handling P2 working/trying to look for a method of rooting without unlocking bootloader?

Try Kingroot.

 

[manstein]

Do we need to unlock the bootloader and wait for 14 days to apply this root method ?
Please add it to this guide if so.
Thanks.

EDIT :
Your device needs to be unlocked by OEM.
Your device must have TWRP installed.

I didn't see it when I read the post for the first time. So we do have to wait 14 days before flashing TWRP.

ROOT LOADING INSTRUCTIONS

I simply flashed superuser-r259_OneTeam.zip, install phh's SuperUser and got root without Magisk.

Sorry for reply on a months-old thread but, has anyone firgured out how to root and install custom roms without unlocking Bootloader? I got a Chinese unit and not having a Chinese number is huge roadblock for me. :/

 

[kanwaljeetsm]

Is it necessary to flash both supersu and magisk for rooting device?? Will the device get rooted if i flash only Supersu?

 

[Laubscherc]

There is not a lot of Updates released by Lenovo for this model, so if it breaks the OTA, just download from here

Without unlocking bootloader you cant do anything

Will this method work with the S244 Nougat build?

I have a P2c72 model hardware which I bought from China, but it came loaded with P2a42 firmware which updated itself to Nougat S244 via OTA updates. I'm not sure how to root it and I'm currently in the 14 waiting period to unlock the bootloader!

Why upload zips with your name and not a link to the original developer.
