Locked bootloader Lenovo Vibe K5 Note K52e78 (chinese version)

[Y0aann]

Hi,

I've some problems with my Lenovo K5 note, I successfully rooted it with SuperSu and I can connect to it with Mtk Droid Tools (green rectangle at the bottom).
I've also a valid scatter file, and a stock rom backup that I can flash with sp flash tool.
The problem is that I can't flash a modded recovery image with sp flash tool, and can't write to recovery partition in fastboot mode.
So, I think the bootloader is locked, i can type "fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot mode, but when the phone display "Press volume up for Yes/Volume Down for No), volume up don't work, only volume down do...

Is that impossible to unlock the bootloader on this phone now ?

Thanks and sorry for my bad english

How to root?

How to root?

You can root this phone if you run on Lollipop (5.1) but you can't if you have Marshmallow (6.0).

You need to use Kingroot and next you can replace it with superSu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989)

It seems to be possible to write to recovery partition with a tool like Rashr or Flashify : when I flash a recovery.img (non compatible image because there is no custom recovery for this phone), I reboot to recovery and the screen turn black 5 seconds, and the phone restart to normal android system. I can reflash stock recovery, and the chinese recovery is back again.

Is there hope ?
