Hello
A newbie here ...
My new phone "Lenovo Vibe C (A2020)" does not allow me to install any kind of custom recovery on it, I tried the following methods ...
1- SP Flash Tool: doesn't detect my phone at all, even after installing all drivers (Qualcomm, MTK, Etc ,,, ).
2- Adb and fastboot: whenever I try to flash a recovery, it only shows (waiting for a device) command, even after being detected by "adb devices" command, and showing device ID.
3- flashing apps: I used flashify and thrasher, at the beginning they both show a successful flashing process, up until rebooting to recovery, then only shows "Lenovo" logo for a second right before turning the phone off.
that's what i did, any help would be appreciated.
Note: the phone isn't even indexed in the site's database ... I wonder why!
You should unlock the bootloader first after rooting your device
Hello there. I do hope that you can still boot your device normally. If you can, please do make a backup of your rom.
(a) Download and install the latest driver for your device
(b) Download the latest adb and fastboot tool (I recommend Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
(c) Download the custom recovery image. Save/copy it on the root directory of your ADB and Fastboot folder.
(d) In your device, go to settings > developer > enable oem unlocking and usb debugging (which is I guess you already did).
(e) Now open your terminal/cmd: adb reboot bootloader (this will boot your device in fastboot)
(f) In terminal/cmd: fastboot oem unlock (or fastboot oem unlock-go)
(g) Now flash the custom recovery: fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"
***I suggest you try first if the custom recovery image works: fastboot boot recovery.img
(h) Reboot into recovery and check if it works.

I am new to rooting and never rooted a device before. Need step by step guide to root Redmi note 3 pro. Please help.
What's the variant of your device? Mediatek or Snapdragon?
Snapdragon forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development
Mediatek forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ek-roms-kernels-recoveries--other-development
You need to install TWRP:
Snapdragon variant: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote3.html
Mediatek variant: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote3mtk.html
Download the Android SDK (ADB drivers) from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Quoting twrp.me:
You will need the platform-tools from the Android SDK on your computer. Find the Android command line tools section on the page linked and install the SDK tools package. From the SDK Manager, download only the platform-tools to get adb and fastboot binaries.
Windows users will need proper drivers installed on their computer. You can try the simple FWUL adb/fastboot ISO or the Naked ADB drivers or the Universal ADB drivers if you don't already have a working driver installed
On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:
adb reboot bootloader
You should now be in fastboot mode.
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

It shows under ADB Devices but when I type, adb reboot bootloader.
The phone goes into fastboot mode, but isn't detected when using command, fastboot devices.
Drivers and eveything is setup correct on it too.
can anyone pls help with how to root the Lenovo TB-x306f
i already unlocked the bootloader but that's as far as i was able to go with it.
i want to also like to install a recovery to flash the evolutionx rom if someone can pls help me and others that needs the same help.
GOD BLESS
I second that. There's nothing out there.
What I tried was to download the original ROM patch the boot.img with magical, replace in LMSA download folder and start a rescue. Didn't help. Got boot loop.
Ok, maybe a bit more details on what I tried already:
1. Enabled developer options. Good.
2. OEM unlocked. ADB connected. Good.
3. Boot to bootloader working. Good.
4. fastboot not listing the device after fastboot devices. Not good.
5. Googling around, found an universal root method with Magisk. Good.
6. Donwloaded, installed and ran RSA (Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant). Connected to device. Good.
7. Entered Rescue and using that downloaded the original ROM. Good.
C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles\TB_X306F_S100134_210120_BMP
8. Copied boot.img to device, installed MagiskManager, patched image with magisk, downloaded the image to PC, replaced the original boot image with the patched one. Good.
9. Started the Rescue procedure in RSA. Rom flased. Good.
10. Bootloop. Bad.
No idea why would that not work, any help, pointers, ideas appreciated.
EDIT: There's a new ROM version now: TB_X306F_S100152_210205_BMP
For a preface, I have the same Tablet as OP. I tried to unlock the bootloader, following seemingly every guide out there but, no success so far. I've enabled debugging, activated OEM unlock and, adb detects my device but, after I send it to fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), no more commands work. I've updated the driver in Manager as one guide suggested but, still nothing.
I used command (fastboot OEM unlock) to continue but nothing. What am I doing wrong?
So just a tip for those that are looking for a guide to do a complete bootloader unlock for TB-X306F, there isn't one. I found a bunch of different ways to go about unlocking the bootloader from different Lenovo devices. First thing is that you need Minimal ABD Fastboot v1.4.3 if Platform Tools or LeTools doesn't work. Use CMD with admin rights, not PowerShell.
Everything else to unlock it is the same from all the guides out there. Make sure to use "fastboot flashing unlock" when unlocking instead of "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot oem unlock-go" if they dont work.
Second tip is for root when installing the Magisk patched boot image. While you're getting the boot.img, make sure to also grab the vbmeta.img from the ROM folder and place it in the Minimal ADB Fastboot folder where you will be using CMD. Do all the steps to get the patched boot image. Once you got the boot.img patched, enter fastboot then enter the command "fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" This will disable verification needed to boot correctly. After that, enter the command "fastboot flash boot <name of .img>" like normal to flash the patched boot.img from magisk. Then fastboot reboot.
This is what I did to get my TB-X306F unlocked and rooted. YMMV.

I apologize for asking for so much help on this.
I too would very much care to see a video of the process but, I have no problem trying it first hand to myself. This tablet is just weird. It can be detected but, as soon as I boot into fastboot, it can't pick it up anymore even though, I had grabbed all of the recommended tools so far such as the fast Boot and the bundle.
A detailed guide would be good enough too
Following @doink_doink 's post (and some bootloops after...) I finally managed to root my Lenovo M10 HD 2 gen (TB-X306X) with magisk. I'll attempt to write a simple guide for who's still interested with rooting this kind of devices since there's not much literature online.
Rooting Lenovo M10 X306X (should also work for other models)
I am by no means held responsible for eventual damage you can inflict on your device, follow the underlying steps of your own accord.
Desktop Tools:
Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Lenovo Rescue Smart Assistant (LRSA from now on)
MTK (Mediatek) Preload Drivers (If your device isn't listed in fastboot)
Mobile Tools:
Magisk Manager App
Steps:
1 - From LRSA click on "Rescue" Tab
2 - Select the model of your tablet and then download
3 - From "Downloads" in the top right corner of the LRSA, click on "Open" to go into the LRSA download folder
4 - Connect your device and set it into USB Debugging and File Transfer
5 - Copy boot.img from LRSA download folder into the device's download folder
6 - Run Magisk Manager App on your device
7 - From Magisk Manager App choose "Install" on the right side of Magisk
8 - Choose the only option "Select and patch a file"
9 - Choose the boot.img you previously copied into the device's download folder
10 - Copy the new file "patched_boot.img" or similar name to the folder where Minimal ADB and Fastboot was installed
11 - Copy the file vbmeta.img from LRSA download folder to Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder
12 - From your device's settings enable developer options and enable OEM Unlock
13 - Execute a cmd session with administrator privileges
14 - Execute in the cmd: adb reboot bootloader (if everything went right the device should reboot in fastboot mode)
15 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot flashing unlock
16 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
17 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
18 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot reboot
The device should correctly reboot and everything should be good to go now.
If something bad happens, like a bootloop or something, turn off the device and use the LRSA to rescue your device.
I don't get around to checking my email as often as I used to so I just now got around to seeing this but, I will try this after I get home from work in 10 hours plus time. If I can get this to successfully work, I will be flat out amazed. I had gotten to the point where I had just given up any and all hope that I would get it to work.

Following @doink_doink 's post (and some bootloops after...) I finally managed to root my Lenovo M10 HD 2 gen (TB-X306X) with magisk. I'll attempt to write a simple guide for who's still interested with rooting this kind of devices since there's not much literature online.
Rooting Lenovo M10 X306X (should also work for other models)
I am by no means held responsible for eventual damage you can inflict on your device, follow the underlying steps of your own accord.
Desktop Tools:
Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Lenovo Rescue Smart Assistant (LRSA from now on)
MTK (Mediatek) Preload Drivers (If your device isn't listed in fastboot)
Mobile Tools:
Magisk Manager App
Steps:
1 - From LRSA click on "Rescue" Tab
2 - Select the model of your tablet and then download
3 - From "Downloads" in the top right corner of the LRSA, click on "Open" to go into the LRSA download folder
4 - Connect your device and set it into USB Debugging and File Transfer
5 - Copy boot.img from LRSA download folder into the device's download folder
6 - Run Magisk Manager App on your device
7 - From Magisk Manager App choose "Install" on the right side of Magisk
8 - Choose the only option "Select and patch a file"
9 - Choose the boot.img you previously copied into the device's download folder
10 - Copy the new file "patched_boot.img" or similar name to the folder where Minimal ADB and Fastboot was installed
11 - Copy the file vbmeta.img from LRSA download folder to Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder
12 - From your device's settings enable developer options and enable OEM Unlock
13 - Execute a cmd session with administrator privileges
14 - Execute in the cmd: adb reboot bootloader (if everything went right the device should reboot in fastboot mode)
15 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot flashing unlock
16 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
17 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
18 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot reboot
The device should correctly reboot and everything should be good to go now.
If something bad happens, like a bootloop or something, turn off the device and use the LRSA to rescue your device.

I'm currently experiencing the same issue. I have done everything, followed every step provided by Chairos and it wont surpass beyond the <Waiting for device> message. I just got this device today for a fair price, hoping I could root the device, and typical me forgot to research if it was officially compatible with TWRP.

Make sure you have the latest MTK usb drivers.
Hello Everyone,
I apologize for the delay but I didn't get notified of your replies.
I also got the waiting for device problem, but as @Yahoo Mike says, it's the MTK USB drivers that are used to communicate with the device in fastboot mode. Latest drivers should do.
Let me know if you're still experiencing the problem after installing the latest MTK drivers, since it depends on which motherboard the tablet has but all models should use mediatek.
Worked like a charm! Thanks.
Can anyone please confirm if there is a TWRP even unofficial IMG out there? And if any kind soul could share the file too I would be so grateful thanks
worked beautifully ...
just the installation of the latest MTK drivers is not very typical. however, you can follow this guide to install MTKL drivers and disable the driver signature enforcement

I received yesterday my TB-X306X, with Android 10 and with software version S100184_210325_BMP. First thing to do was to unlock and root the tablet, without any issue, thanks to clear indications found on this thread.
Has anybody been able to find working TWRP for this tablet ?
