How to unlock bootloader & get root for Lenovo K8 Plus

**********Pre-requirements***********

1. Make sure you have 70% charge or more then that.

2. Follow all steps correctly otherwise you will end up with a bricked phone.

3. I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone.

4. Make sure that you have installed usb drivers.

5. Download ADB & Fastboot Drivers

Steps to Unlock Bootloader

1. First of all, enable the Developer Option

To Enable the Developer Option, Go to your Settings -> About -> Software Information -> More -> Now Tap on the Build Number 7-8 Times until you see a toast message “Developer option enabled"

2. Go back to settings -> Now you need to enable the OEM Unlock by going to Settings -> Developer Option and Enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging

3. Download and Extract the Downloaded ADB fastboot Zip file on your phone.

4. Now connect your phone to Computer using USB Cable.

When you connect your Phone to Computer, please wait until all the drivers get installed.

5. In your ADB fastboot folder open a command prompt window by pressing Shift Key + Right Mouse Click

Now type the command in your command window

adb devices

6. If you see a pop up to allow USB Debugging on your phone, Click OK

Now type the command below to reboot your phone to bootloader

adb reboot bootloader

7. Once your phone reboot into bootloader, make sure your phone shows the bootloader locked and then type the command below to make sure fastboot drivers are installed properly.

fastboot devices

8. This command will list the connected devices. If your phones serial number shows up you are good to go and may continue. If the phone is NOT listed this indicates that your drivers are not installed correctly. In order for you to continue, you must fix your drivers so that your phone is listed under fastboot devices.

9. If the phone has been recognized by the command above, proceed to unlock the bootloader with the following command:

Remember that this step will wipe EVERYTHING off the phone. Also you'll loose your warranty!!

fastboot oem unlock

10. After the above command has finished executing, run the following

fastboot reboot

The phone will reboot. Wait until the phone has fully booted up into Android.

Then i tried to lock the bootloader just so that i can start the unlock procedure again, but it just doesn't lock. I tried to flash stock Rom thru Sp flash tool using each and every mode (download load only, firmware upgrade, format all + download) the boot loader just doesn't lock again. :(

Please help me with this as i really want to install TWRP and root my device . Thanks!

Thanks for suggesting this version of tool
[Android General] chankruze:
It is working.

Main thing is you need to be on September/november security patch after that follow the above guide .

You phone will be rooted without TWRP.

Generally root access means patch on stock boot.img which is done by dhruv.

Whenever you flash magisk it patches your boot.img to give you root access. Thanks to Magisk Devs.

After following the OP you call install flashify to flash zips & images further you can also flash twrp image for marino and reeboot to TWRP.(twrp 3.1.1 works perfectly with a little bug , dimmed screen at starting time of TWRP).

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknasty:
I know I can transfer via adb over my network but is there a way to transfer apks and files directly to the fire tv stick? Has anyone been able to access the file system without registering the device. I remember a long time ago on the fire tv's there was a way to do this via adb but can this be done with a hard cable directly from computer?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srk707:
Go to this site to get drivers for fire stick, install them , and plug your fire stick in with just usb to your computer(wait for windows to say your hardware is ready to use). You can also install apps using adb. Worked for me on Windows 10.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknasty:
Thank you for that link and info. Do you know if I have to log into an account before doing this transfer? Or can I just open the package plug it in and transfer the files?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srk707:
I was already logged in, so don't know. But you don't have register the stick. Try plugging it in and see if windows will recognize it.

I was with my LG G4 H818p in Dead Boot (Hard Brick), I tried several methods used to recover tools for Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, but none worked. So I found these videos below with a simple, home-made solution. Remove the motherboard from the LG G4 and place it on top of a clothes iron for 10 to 15 minutes and then reassemble again, carefully observe which side of the board should be placed down, it is not necessary to make it cool completely, is at the discretion of who is to do.

Incredibly, it worked.

The videos are in Spanish but you can see the procedure well.

It is likely to fit other models. I'M NOT SURE.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
I have no access to my pc until 30th of January so no.

My recommendation to test if you have the ilapo or not:

Try the freezer method in a plastic bag. If it turns on afterwards it IS the ilapo.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marzsalim:
I tried to freezer..but Nothing happened..if mother board damage can't connect to pc that you showed me images.. I'm right? But it's connected when I'm touching wire..

It's dead totally? Nothing can do?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
Ilapo has several stages. It begins with a bootloop where the phone gets hot and it ends in 9008 mode. This mode works always even when everything else does not.

You have put it in at least 2 hours?

Well IF it's the ilapo the mentioned links showing you several methods. The only real fix is to replace the mainboard everything else may bring back some hours or months of life if you have luck.

You can wait until I'm back to test other qfil files or try the other methods. Atm I cannot say if you have it or not.

Another indicator is the production date of your mainboard. The first three digits of your serial is?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marzsalim:
I will wait..
