K5 Note cannot be rooted in Marshmallow(6.0) as of now because marshmallow rooting needs installation of custom recovery first, and no one has yet ported a custom recovery (TWRP CWM etc) for k5note. And porting custom recovery for k5note seems hard too cause the stock firmware has image check parameter, It doesn't flash just any customized image using SP Root tools.

However if you haven't updated it yet to marshmallow, It can be rooted when it is still in Android 5.1 Lollipop by using kingroot 4.50. , and then using Super Sume.

You can change your imei by using SP meta 9.1604. I did it using the same tool. I have a k5note 4gb version

First switch off your mobile , then boot into recovery menu using key combination. recovery is in Chinese, but you will find something in english like emmc just select that option , then phone will clear all your data, wipe all partition , and will boot itself, congrats, now it is as new as first time boot with all original Imei and baseband.
Press thanks here if it help you
Feel free to ask for any further help
Note: backup every thing before doing that because wiping emmc will clear all data on internal memory.
Good luck.

To get back lost IMEI, Bluetooth Address, Wifi Mac address, Serial number , etc.

If you lost IMEI, Bluetooth Address, Wifi Mac address, Serial number , etc by flashing stock rom using SP flash tools, you can get everything back by following these two videos tutorial.

1st is for Rebuild IMEI and Barcode (PN).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am8cBS8xekc

2nd is for Rebuild Bluetooth, WiFi Mac Address and Serial Number (SN).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry0UAOewWXE&t=168s

I have successfully fixed these things following these videos.
Device info : Lenovo Vibe K5 note A7020a48.
Android Version : Marshmallow.

Thanks.

I LOST MY IMEI ON K5 NOTE(no backup)

Hi I purchased a Chinese Lenovo K5 Note (K52e78) but some of the features are only intended for Chinese and are written in Mandarin.
So I flashed the rom to 7020a48 6.0 marshmallow international version, And by doing this I have a vram error and also I have lost my imei.
The problem is I never got to back up my phone first windows shut down the sp tool program and bricked my phone.

I did manage to get my phone Flashed with the new 7020a78 software and It work's except for the problem I have with vram error(mac address) and no imei numbers.
Can someone please help me sort this problem out? As I only just bought the phablet a couple of days ago. And there is no one who has a clue in Australia how to fix it.

Same issue with my k4 note

Hi I have same issue with my K4 note, will this method works in this mobile.
 
There is imei number written on your mobile phone bill, on battery and also on your mobile box. There are many app by which you can rewrite your imei number. But i think your imei number is not removed it just malfunctioning.
Try use this *#*#4636#*#* then phone information and here there is preferred network type you have changed band so your network operator type may have changed. Change it to wcdma or gsm.

Go to recovery mode and delete cache partition and then restart your mobile.

Here is how to change imei number.
For that you need to enter into engineering mode of your mobile.
Open engineering mode by dialing *#*#3646633#*#* or *#446633#. Also many apps available for entering mtk engineering mode you can download those apps from play store.
Once you are in engineering mode open Cds information. Then tap Radio information. Now if you have dual sim then you will see phone1 and phone2 otherwise just phone1.
Now tap on phone one and then enter command AT SPACE + EGMR=1,7 “ your first imei number” / AT +EGMR=1,7″your first imei number”. then tap on Send at command tab. and for second sim slot AT +EGMR=1,10″your second imei number”.
