I have used Kingroot (not kingo root) for PC software, for my p1c72.

As of now no rooting app or tool is able to root this mobile as the bootloader is locked. I tried fastboot method to unlock bootloader but no luck. Request any developer to help or guide the rooting procedure. Thanks in advance

I need Root :crying:

I was able to root my Lenovo P1a42 with Kingroot app when it was running Lollipop. Recently I upgraded to Marshmallow and the root gone.

I have seen the entire thread containing may or may not work long processes for rooting. Rooting via Kingroot app is the most safe and most easy process.

I encourage you to write to kingroot team requesting them to make root available on Marshmallow as they made it earlier for Lollipop. Do mention the device model and they will provide root for this device in update. I've provided the link below so that you can put your request:

NOTE:
1. Make sure you have downloaded everything that you will need before you proceed.
2. I have tried my best to include every small detail that I remember but please understand am not developer am just trying to help out.
3. Backup all important data before you start the process. There will not be data loss if you are already on S288 stock rom and just going to flash boot unlocker and TWRP. However it's better to have proactive backup than being sorry later.
4. If you are on older stock rom version then carry out all the steps to get S288 installed first then other steps. If you go to step 8 then there will be data over writing.


Steps:
1.Download P1a42_S288_160721_ROW_RAW_QFIL.rar from the link (see post no. 107 by me for link) .
2.Extract the rar file in some folder on your computer.
3.Download SuperSu from the link (see post no 82 by amitritu_1509 for link) and extract it on root of SD Card of your phone.
4.Open QFIL.
5.Load prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn in select programmer option.
6.If you are already on S288 version then jump directly to step 12.
7.Click on load xml file.
8.Load rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml.
9.Switch off your Vibe P1 and connect to USB port of your computer. It should be detected as QUALCOMM COM port automatically.
10.If it does get detected click on download button.
11.Your download progress will start. After download is completed your phone will restart automatically.
12.After first boot (which may take longer time) go to settings -> Developer options and enable OEM unlocking.
13.Switch off your Vibe P1 and connect to USB port of your computer. It should be detected as QUALCOMM COM port automatically.
14.Click on load xml file.
15.Load rawprogram0_aboot+twpr.xml and patch0.xml.
16.Click on download button. While download progress is running press and hold volume up and volume down button simultaneously till you see TWRP flash screen.
17.Once you boot in to TWRP recovery then flash install SuperSu that you kept on SD Card in step 3 above to obtain root access.
18.You may restart to normal system now.
