Tried with qfil?

to be honest no, the only way i'm looking for a bootable TWRP.img is because i don't want to lose all the data, but if it is the only way to root i'll try with QFIL ^^"

I didnt tried any other way, cuz it is easiest. But for the first root its need i think.

ok... if it's the only way i'll try, if i flash the TWRP.img file, will it work and replace only the recovery or do i have to flash the whole rom?

Hello everyone,
Me as well, I'm trying to have my Lenovo vibe P1C72 MM enhanced with TWRP image (which is twrp_recovery3.0.2.0.img). But unfortunately I keep getting this error message:

"target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'recovery' (29546 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.938s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: invalid signature and data)
finished. total time: 1.156s"

Any ideas out there what hinders me?
Target leading answers very welcome ...

P.S.: I tried QFIL with "P1a42_S288_160721_ROW_RAW_QFIL" before, but "Sahara failed. Value cannot be zero" keeps showing - despite my patiently waiting and trying for undefined times.
