hi everybody.

I have a problem with the rooting of my LENOVO P8 Plus Wifi.

I have followed the 1 page guide to root the tablet.

After the 7) step I have this issue: the Recovery show me "Mount - Decrypt Data - Enter Password".

Which password?

The only thing that I can do is Cancel, but new window show me "Keep System Read only?"

So I swipe and than ADVANCED, RM FORCEENCRYPT, than after swipe again, a lot of rows that end with UNABLE TO MOUNT STORAGE:

So I reboot and do not install SUPERSU.

My Device was updated with all the latest available rom update and I am using the latest TWPR 3.2.1. for Lenovo P8 Wifi

After LENOVO logo boot, a message shows "ENCRYPTION UNSECCESFUL": the only thing that I can do is Reset Tablet, but it does not help.

Please, help me recover my never used tablet

EDIT: SOLVED BY MYSELF

I have to reflash stock rom and than retry and now, everything worked fine

Few issues after rooting

Hi,

I've followed the guide without any special problems, but after I got root and installed TWRP I notice the following.

1. Can't install apps from Google Play - This one is quite strange. I'm able to open the app, select an app for downloading and seeing the app being 100% downloaded. Afterwards however the app is not installed when I'm logged in. Only when I'm restarting the device during the lock screen I see the app being installed and after logging in I can use it.

2. SuperSU and AdAway - When I'm putting SuperSU on grant permanently, AdAway is able to work, but when I'm switching SU back to Prompt, the app doesn't work or respond. I've also downloaded a root checker app and I've the same results (when SU on permanent I've root, and when prompt nothing).

I've tried reinstalled SuperSU but no change was made to the above issues.

Will appreciate any help from you guys.
[General Topics] wbn1:
Hi.

1. That also happens on a non-rooted tablet. you just need to close the play store when it has downloaded by using the right button (square) and pressing X and then relaunch the store app.

2. Ad-away modifies the hosts file and doesn't need to run in the background. You can force stop it disable it's auto-start so it stays dormant in the tablet and just run it from time to time to update the hosts file.

1. After new firmware update I don't have this problem anymore. On the other side on new firmware I'm unable to install 3rd party apps that request special permissions in the install window (cant press Install as it's grey). 3rd party apps that don't request permissions install ok.

2. I use Magisk and have no problem with it.

Hi Daitalos, Thank you for your response.

Both link 1 & 2 have similar steps so I tried both variations.

Tested

I tried this above method after I rooted my device successfully. The link is no longer working so I downloaded the APKs on my own.

com.android.vending_8.9.24-all_0_PR_184891514-80892400_minAPI14(armeabi,armeabi-v7a,mips,mips64,x86,x86_64)(240,320,480dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

com.google.android.gms_11.9.76_(036-184349000)-11976036_minAPI14(armeabi-v7a)(320dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

com.google.android.gsf.login_7.1.2-25_minAPI23(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

For all the APKs, I have moved them to system/app, without installing them explicitly.

Problem

However, my tablet starts up with the error in the notification panel

Update Google Play services

Google Play services won't run unless you update Google Play ....

Frequently there will be pop-up stating the error "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped.".

Nothing will appear if I open Google Play Store. The start-up screen will be stuck with the loading icon.

I wonder if I have did anything wrong that the Google Play service is not loading right?

"11) Once it successfully boots into Android, power down the device again and enter TWRP (hold volume up + power button together)"

If I use the "hold volume up+ power button" mode, I enter the test mode.I can't enter the recovery and I can't install SU unfortunately.

What's the solution in this situation?

I would like to know this, too.

I need to hide root for several apps on my Tab, so I'd want to install Magisk instead of SuperSU.

I've already rooted the device with SuperSU (via the previous TWRP version - haven't updated it yet just in case). What should I do to replace SuperSU root with magisk root please?
[General Topics] Diomorgan:
supersu app should have the "unroot and clean" option in the app, try it then install magisk.remember after flashing magisk click ''Advanced'' and then ''RM Forceencrypt''. Swipe to confirm!!!! Never update within the app, always download the zip, flash it and RM Forceencrypt !!!
[General Topics] MauMau777:
The "install SuperSU" step is not very clear in the instructions on the first page of this thread:

Where does the installer take the SuperSU file from? Is it already included? Do we need to store the SuperSU file on the SD card before? What path? And should it be named in a special way?

And if I want to install Magisk, do I need to place the entire Magisk.zip on the SD card before? I noticed there are lots of folders inside the Magisk.zip ("x86", "x64", "arm", "arm64" etc.) Do I need to extract a special file from the Magisk.zip or just place the entire zip on the SD card and then install via TWRP?
[General Topics] evilhomura89:
Just place the whole Magisk.zip folder in your SD card, don't unzip it. Use TWRP to flash accordingly.

Ignore the SuperSU step. Once you have TWRP, just flash Magisk and you're good to go.
[General Topics] MauMau777:
Thanks - I'll give it a try then.

Are these steps also required when flashing Magisk instead of SuperSU?

Hello there, I successfully rooted my device (tb8703f), but I could not activate multi-window. I followed the instructions and changed the value from user to userdebug in the buildprop line (ro.build.type) with root essentials but nothing changed in the developer options. Am I doing it wrong?
[General Topics] Mhden2x:
I don't know if it is necessary, but I did it just in case and it works as expected. The device is rooted.

In detail, for those who want to try, I had rooted my device with SuperSU (the option in TWRP). So I didn't touch the app in Android, I booted in TWRP, unrooted the device via the option there, rebooted in recovery, flashed magisk 16, did the RMEncryption thing in "advanced" (with DMVerity checked by default), cleared cache & dalvik/art and then rebooted the system.

It takes some minutes to rebuild ART etc depending on how many apps you have installed and voila :)
[General Topics] daitalos:
try again...before using Root Essentials go in developer option & enabled usb debuging > ON (and all permissions)

[General Topics] MauMau777:
Thx!

Will rooting the Tab via this method (or the one described in the first post) erase the apps or data on the device or will I be able to keep all installed stuff? I already installed lots of apps and don't want to re-install them all ;)
[General Topics] Mhden2x:
No, it won't erase anything either method. Rooting will just give you "admin privileges" in Android. All apps and media will be kept intact.

But remember, if you root, you can't get any OTA updates! You'll be notified by Lenovo (a new version is available etc) but If you try and install it, you'll end up with bootloop probably. So, first you should do all the updates (some say the latest has no random reboots anymore) and then root it.

Also, if magisk notifies you for an update when a new version is available, you should not do the update via Android. Just download the new version and flash it via TWRP, so as to do the the RMEncryption again.
[General Topics] MauMau777:
Thx! I think I am good to go now :good:

BTW, I did not notice any random reboots yet (Kernel version 3.18.24, Android 6.0.1) - and I don't need OTA's since I fear that this will make my device 30% slower. Remember, there has been a massive security flaw discovered with most CPU's in december that affects almost all OS and devices. Since you can't replace CPUs, many manufacturers will fix this via software / OTA. This will cost you up to 30% performance, depending on the device. I really don't want that so I don't update to any OTA released after december 2017. And I don't think Levnovo will ever update this Tab to Android 7, so who cares... :)

Magisk + Xposed

Thank you very much for this useful topic!

I succesfully rooted my Lenovo P8 with Magisk, and also Xposed Framework works perfect (GravityBox module as well).

If someone interested in how to do that:

first download and copy the latest Magisk zip to internal storage

then just follow the instructions in the OP from step 1 to 9.

as the 10th step, install Magisk zip, then reboot to Android (when TWRP asks, do NOT install SuperSU)

when the system boots up, switch off the tablet, then enter TWRP (with VOL UP + POWER buttons)

on the Advanced menu choose "RM Forceencrypt" (no need to change anything, just swipe to confirm)

reboot to Android (when TWRP asks, do NOT install SuperSU).

That's all. Magisk Manager now shows in the app drawer, so you can install modules, including systemless Xposed Framework (SDK23 for MM). Use the material version of Xposed Installer.

ps: i "unbrick" the tablet (thank daitalos), but before running the root procedure again, I would like to understand why asked for the password after installing the magisk.zip file and if can know what it is and how to remove it from boot....

thank you very much again
[General Topics] daitalos:
Because, this version twrp flashing without unlocked bootloader & before you use "RM Forceencrypt" in recovery, device still is encrypted....

When you want to flash anything via twrp, must you use "RM Forceencrypt"

premise that I carried out the root with magisk

I would like to enable the multi-window function and I have

I tried both with Root Essentials and through the internal editor of es file explorer to change from "user" to "userdebug", which happens because when I reopen the file is modified but in the developer menu does not appear any new item that allows me to enable it

all these items, unlike the multi window, are not present on "build.pro", should I insert them completely? anywhere in the code or is it preferable to beginning/end?

What features do you think are essential to enable through GravityBox?
