That didn't work. I managed to install Magisk v18.0 but I'm losing my root.

are you using RM Forceencrypt?
Step 13 in OP ?

Yup, I'm doing RM Forceencrypt. Were you able to install magisk v18.0?

IDK because I no longer have the device (maybe you can try other version magisk)
See here newest version twrp : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/links-t3764658

[maybe you can try with this version twrp with special function Sign boot (from Lineageos14.1 thread) ]

I'm using the latest version of TWRP already.

I think, better is to ask in Lineageos thread what version of magisk is compatible now ...

I finish.
Is possible install magisk manager and not SuperSu?

 

[schizzofrenetico]

I just finished installing the latest version of Magisk (18.1) and Magisk Manager (7.0.0) and it's all working perfectly... you have to remember to always do the sign boot after the installation of the Magisk zip...

Yes it is...
Read carefully a few pages back

 

[schizzofrenetico]

can you write step by step how to do it

as already mentioned, everything is present on the homepage... possibly ask where you find problems, doubts or what is written on the homepage does not match what you find

 

[fidodid0]

I would like to ask myself not to spoil the equipment.

Hi, i followed step by step tutorial and after step 8 my device seems to be almost dead. It wont boot and when i connect it to PC, white led blinks and QFIL shows Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM ) so i guess it is a chance. I tried flash TWRP again, but this time sahara... i installed recomended QPST and tried again and again install twrp and stock rom using various cables and usb ports... sahara still, What else can i do? My device is TB-8703R.

I have the same problem, my tablet wont start, and the QFIL stop detecting my tablet. He just blink and windows spam "usb device not recognized"

What can i do??

Your right, was an easy fix, my apologies.

For those that encounter this problem, go into your devices listing and see if there is an error for your device. Update the drivers and your good to go!

Thnaks for a great job.
I installed on my Lenovo TB-8703F.

 

[hidroela]

thanks for the hard work you put into it.

 

[lestatab]

Cool! I returned to stock following the steps (TB-8703X). thank you! I tred Pixel Experience, LineageOS 16.0, AospExtended ROM V6.5, Resurrection Remix v7.0.2 and all those have the wifi issue/bug while playing or watch video streaming. Appears a popup message "wifi lost connection" for a second

a) Ensure USB Debugging is enabled on your device.

Qualcomm USB driver : https://androiddatahost.com/nbyn6
TWRP:
- If you have the WiFi TB-8703F model, use TWRP-3.1.1-0821-LENOVO_P8(8703F)-CN-wzsx150-QPST.7z: http://www.mediafire.com/file/s6wpp3eic9gvp2y/TWRP-3.1.1-0821-LENOVO_P8(8703F)-CN-wzsx150-QPST.7z
- If you have the 4G TB-8703X model, use TWRP-3.1.1-0820-LENOVO_P8(8703X)-CN-wzsx150-QPST.7z: http://www.mediafire.com/file/o3qoa4hws0t7g16/TWRP-3.1.1-0820-LENOVO_P8(8703X)-CN-wzsx150-QPST.7z

Instructions:
1) Install QPST and the Qualcomm USB driver from the above links. Also extract the TWRP archive specific to your model number
2) Run QFIL (part of the QPST package), and select the build type ''Flat Build''
3) Next to ''Select Programmer'' click ''browse'' and select prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn (located in your TWRP folder)
4) Next to ''Select Build'' click ''Load XML'' and select rawprogram0.xml and then select patch0.xml (both located in your TWRP folder)
5) Turn your device off. Then, press and hold the volume up button and connect your device to your PC via the USB cable
6) QFIL should detect your device in 9008 mode (''Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008'' will appear at the top)
7) Click the blue ''Download'' button
8) IMPORTANT - once it has finished downloading, disconnect the device and enter TWRP by holding the volume up and power button together (it should vibrate just before loading into TWRP)
9) You will notice that TWRP is in Chinese, but we will now change the language to English. Slide the slider at the bottom all the way to the right, and click the grey button that is second to last in the right column (see here). Then, click the white globle icon at the top right (see here), and set the language to English (see here) then press bottom right grey button to confirm.
10) IMPORTANT - Press ''Advanced'' and then ''RM Forceencrypt''. Swipe to confirm. Now reboot into system (do not install SuperSU just yet).
11) Once it successfully boots into Android, power down the device again and enter TWRP (hold volume up + power button together)
12) Press ''Advanced'' and then ''Install SU'. Swipe to install.
13) IMPORTANT - after SU successfully installs, go back to the main menu, click ''Advanced'' and then ''RM Forceencrypt''. Swipe to confirm.
14) Reboot into system and your device should now be rooted
