Download TWRP for Lenovo P2 (P2a42).
In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 8 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
Now go to Settings -> Developer options. (above About device)
You need to enable OEM unlock, otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on.
Once you tap the unlock the bootloader it will ask you to formally submit the request, when you accepted the void warranty thing you will have to wait 14 days.
After 14 days . Reboot your device into fastboot mode. To do this, (adb reboot-bootloader) or select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Down] + [Power] buttons while your device reboots or boots from power off.
Once you're in fastboot mode, you need to unlock your bootloader. To do this, run this command:
fastboot oem unlock
WARNING: Unlocking your bootloader will erase all userdata on the device! Your device will be completely reset to factory defaults!
Once your bootloader is unlocked, you're ready to flash TWRP. To do this, run these commands in order:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger system modifications for TWRP and TWRP will be installed permanently!
If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
If your device asks for a password to mount internal storage, and your password doesn't work or you haven't set one, see below under known issues for a fix!
If you want to be rooted see Post #2:
UPDATING TWRP
To update TWRP, simply download the new twrp.img on your phone, then boot into your current TWRP and flash it.
To flash a twrp.img, navigate to [Install] -> [Flash Image] -> select your twrp.img -> [x] Recovery -> Flash!
After that, just use [Reboot] -> [Recovery] to reboot into the updated TWRP.

KNOWN ISSUES
SuperSU will only work by default in System-Mode because the data partition is F2FS! (by default from Lenovo)
SuperSu's Systemless Mode will work when the data partition is changed to EXT4!
DECRYPTION NOT WORKING?
If your device isn't decrypting in TWRP, chances are you set a boot up password.
You can solve this by disabling your boot up password in your device OS's settings.
By disabling your password your OS will rewrite your crypto key to be compatible with TWRP and TWRP will decrypt with the default password.
WHY DOES F2FS MAKE TWRP SO SLOW?
When TWRP boots up or wipes partitions and a few other scenarios, it checks each partition to see how much disk space is used. Ext4 handles disk usage calls quite efficiently and will finish this very fast. F2FS on the other hand is very slow when it comes to checking disk usage. We're unsure why this is. Every file on the F2FS formatted partition adds a little more time, and a device that is 30 GB full could take up to 10 minutes to boot TWRP!
I suggest switching your data partition to ext4 - all the f2fs hype is merely from benchmarks that don't actually represent real world use (ie. you're not writing thousands of files per second)
For someone who doesn't do lots of write access to their data partition, ext4 can actually be advantageous (it has faster access times and reads!)

Official TWRP vs LineageOS TWRP
I am on Lenovo's STOCK ROM! All i want is root with STOCK ROM! I don't care about treble! Is this version for me?
YES!!!
I hate the Lenovo STOCK ROM! I want LineageOS Official and root! I want treble and Magisk! Is this TWRP version for me?!
NO!!! Why? Please read this!

Confirmed and working ROOT methods!
Up-to-date: For root with Nougat please use phh's supersu
Use version 2.59 from here
Install phh's SuperUser in the Play Store
to manage root access of apps.
Simply flash it and enjoy.
--------------------------------
If you prefer Magisk:
Prio to installing Magisk you will have to change the data partition from F2FS to EXT4 because the Lenovo Kernel is missing an F2F2 feature.
How to format data to EXT4:
Make sure while the first time you boot TWRP.
You "KEEP SYSTEM in READ ONLY MODE" by clicking "Keep Read Only"
then Go to:
Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Select "Data">Repair or Change File System>Change File System>EXT4
Install Magisk
and once you booted up the system install Magisk manager.
Proof that Magisk works see attachment!

Outdated Root Method for Marshmallow ONLY:
Here is for confirmed and working ROOT METHODS !!! Marshmallow ONLY !!!
(FOR SYSTEM MODE ROOT ONLY!)
download this pack https://goo.gl/KFtyzl
and extract its content into the adb&minimal fasboot folder
enter TWRP
do
Code:
adb push dot.supersu /data/.supersu
Select "ADB Sideload" in TWRP menu, (Advanced>ADB Sideload) make sure to select "Wipe Cache" and
Swipe to to Start Sideload and use following command to push SuperSu files.
Code:
adb sideload SuperSU.zip
Reboot into System. Done!
--------------------------------
FOR SYSTEMLESS MODE ROOT ONLY: (preferred method!) !!! Marshmallow ONLY !!!
As i stated in the Opening Thread. SuperSu can not be installed in Systemless-Mode by default because by default the /data partition is formated in F2FS.
More detailed explanation here: here
The current workaround is to disable the encryption (fully optional) and wipe the /data partition and format the /data partition to EXT4, which is also supported by the boot.img (thank you Lenovo!) and install SuperSu in Systemless-Mode. EXT4 formatting can be done through the "advanced wipe" of TWRP.
It has been tested and confirmed working. The main advantage is working OTA due to systemless SuperSu. As the OTA doesn't care if /data is actually F2FS or EXT4. Lenovo was so kind to provide both options in the stock boot.img.

Factory Images for P2a42 Marshmallow/Nougat & TWRP Test Image & Kernel Sources
Q: I messed up help me?! :crying:
So you screwed up and didn't follow Rule Number One in the IT-Handbook?
Which is: Always create a backup before working on a system?
(FACTORY IMAGES FOR Marshmallow ONLY!)
Warning! Following images are all confirmed working for the P2a42!
Do NOT attempt to use it on the P2c72 it will brick your device!
If you need an P2c72 factory flasher version! Let me know i will provide you with one!
Download the Factory State Images for Marshmallow. Which are all flashable with fastboot: https://goo.gl/JTCwKj
Place the files you want replaced into the "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" installation directory and start it's shell:
If you want to flash back the stock recovery. Simply run:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You can also replace all partitions if required.
There is an flashall.bat file in the SW directory. Run it in case you want to restore all partitions.
But i highly recommend to replace just the partition you messed up. In most cases it will be boot,recovery or system.
One exception would be if you want to upgrade from an Old Firmware and you simply do not receive any OTA update files.
In that case you want to run a complete upgrade by running the flashall.bat file.
(FACTORY IMAGES FOR Nougat ONLY!)
Warning! Following images are all confirmed working for the P2a42!

Pre-Official TWRP Images:
TWRP 3.2.2-0 (latest version)
Currently no Pre-Official.
Q: Why Pre-Official?
A: It's is an "canary build" meaning, in test phase before it gets pushed Official but it is fully tested on Marshmallow and Nougat. Even confirmed working for the P2c72.

No need to I will request one once I upload all sources and pushed TWRP Official.

As a reminder! Always create a backup of the boot and system partition (as image!) before installing anything to stay save!

Small Update: DO NOT Flash the latest System-Mode SuperSU. It was reported to cause a bootloop on the Lenovo P2. Stick with Version 2.76!

Look for "Unsu" script here in the forum. It will take you out from the bootloop.

It think you need the latest adb version for it to work. Closed Beta Testers confirmed adb sideload as working.

I don't think it works on a virtual machine because of the USB passthrough. I know that ADB sideload works as it was confirmed by the Testers.
Instead of using sideload. Try by placing the SuperSu.zip onto the internal storage /data. And select the zip for install.

Still in a bootloop. Maybe the "UnSu" script isn't deleting everything? (it boots when I run the script)

It depends on how often you tried to install SuperSU. It will revert all changes when you run SuperSu once. If you tried it more than once then the backup folder will overwrite the data with already patched data.
Grab the stock images packages from post #3 and extract it's content.
No need to restore all the partitions.
Just open up the *.Bat file and look for the command that says "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and the parts that say "fastboot flash system systemchunk*" and run those in fastboot shell.
You will be back to stock without losing any of your data.
Then try again with the confirmed method in post #2. Just make sure you create a backup of boot and system (as image!) In case you need to restore. Let's say for applying an OTA.

TOUCHSCREEN working
MTP working
ADB working
SEANDROID warning fix
TWRP and Kernel built from latest source
Factory Image flashing(see below)
NTFS support
F2FS support >> To be added
Twrp app support
New feature available in TWRP v3 is system image backup and restore and factory image flashing (see TWRP changelog for details)
Basically this means factory system images from the official firmware can now be flashed with TWRP.
This feature can be found under INSTALL >> INSTALL IMAGE >> select image to flash >> select partition.[/B]
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
Instructions:
NOTE: ON ANDROID 5.1.1> DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
Flash with ODIN in the AP slot.
1. Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
2. Uncheck Auto reboot. (NOT REQUIRED FOR INSTALLING TWRP 3.3.1-1)
3. Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
4. After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME. (NOT REQUIRED FOR INSTALLING TWRP 3.3.1-1, THE DEVICE WILL AUTO BOOT TO RECOVERY)
5. Flash the V3 RMM bypass zip
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79745844&postcount=627
NOTE: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS ABOVE IMPLICITLY WILL RESULT IN STOCK RECOVERY REPLACING TWRP AT FIRST BOOT AND BECOMING RMM LOCKED FOR 7 DAYS.
I ALSO SUGGEST BACKING UP ANYTHING YOU NEED ON INTERNAL STORAGE. AT SOME POINT YOU MAY EXPERIENCE A 'VERIFICATION FAILED MESSAGE' .
THIS IS NORMAL, BUT WILL REQUIRE THE DATA PARTITION TO BE FORMATTED IN TWRP.

Boot to TWRP and flash Supersu or Magisk. Use the three button combo.

Can i just use cf auto root to root my phone without installing a recovery? Or it's better to root using this method?

system Image backup and flashing support
efs backup support
WHATEVER YOU DO BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING WITH TWRP MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE WITH TWRP AND HAVE THE STOCK FIRMWARE TO HAND JUST IN CASE DOWNLOADED FROM SAMMOBILE OR UPDATO.
THIS WILL TRIP KNOX AND MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
Instructions:
(Note: failure to follow these instructions implicitly will cause TWRP to be replaced by stock recovery at boot!)
Flash with ODIN in the AP slot.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.

IMPORTANT! This device enforces dm-verity. ANY modifications or even mounting system will put the device into a bootloop. To prevent this TWRP will ask at first boot if you want to keep system 'Read only' or 'Allow modifications to system'. If you choose to keep 'Read only' you will have to flash TWRP at every boot to recovery.
If you choose to 'Allow' then SuperSU or the boot patch needs flashing below to disable dm-verity.
To Root:
Flash the latest magisk with TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
This device forces encryption.
To disable forced encryption, mount internal storage(DATA) and disable dm-verity you must flash the boot patcher below:
(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)
3. Check DATA is mountable.
4. Install magisk (if root is required)
5. Install boot image patch below.
6. Reboot

Thanks bro for twrp

ARD3 doesn't support current root. Why? Only restart... Phone is not opening.
TWRP => all directory 0 mb. There is a problem.

Thanks for your hard work. The recovery works really fine with our device if instructions were followed carefully.
Now all we need is a custom kernel with selinux set to permissive. I appreciate any help.

Help me
I have a problem with my mobile device that shows me this message when running
"Set warranty bit: kernel"
What is the solution?

i can't use camera when rooted!
pls help me!

UPDATE : TWRP FOR M30 IS NOW OFFICIAL​
I would like to thank TeamWin for their amazing work!
After a long hiatus from Android Development, I am back to the dev scene.
As usual, I am not responsible for damage to your device, you, the user is choosing to make these modifications.
Your device's warranty is VOID if this procedure is followed, Proceed at your own caution!
With the new update of Android 10 for our device SM-M305[F] / M305[M], Samsung reimplemented RMM and called it KG(KnoxGuard), there is confusion in the device community on how to install TWRP and root device.
@vdbhb59 and myself @akhil99 are actively working together to bring support to this device.
Follow these updated instructions to get TWRP working with Latest Stock Firmware.
This thread will be updated regularly.
STRONGLY ADVICE TO BACKUP DATA.
Steps to get TWRP working with stock firmware
Reported to be working with firmware w/ following details
Device: Samsung Galaxy M30 SM-M305[F] / M305[M]
BL: M305FDDU5CTF2

CSC: HOME_CSC_OMC_ODM_M305FODM5CTF2
Patch: 1st May 2020
Android Version: 10
One UI Version : 2.0
First of all flash completely stock firmware, you can always root with Magisk later.
If you are rooted and have TWRP installed already and you are not on Latest Firmware mentioned above then flash latest firmware.
Select BL, AP, CP, CSC (Use HOME_CSC).
Never only flash AP, will cause your /data to shrink.
Once you're updated to latest firmware mentioned above, make sure you unlock your bootloader.
Go into Settings>Software Info>Tap build number seven times.
Go into Settings>Developer Options>OEM Unlock & enable it.
It will prompt you with password/pin confirming to unlock bootloader. Device will reboot and wipe itself.
Setup device once it reboots and again enable developer options and see OEM unlock to be enabled and togglable.
Next enable USB debugging in Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging.
Open up ADB/FASTBOOT Utility on your computer and connect your device with USB C cable.
Type in following commands without the quotations.
1."adb reboot download" ; reboots your device into Download mode, can flash device via Odin Downloader(Windows) or Heimdall Utility(Linux)
2.Download the attached TWRP.tar if you're using Odin or TWRP.img if you're using Heimdall to flash.
3.Flash the TWRP recovery by
ODIN:-
Clicking AP in Odin and make sure the Repartition and Auto Reboot boxes are UNTICKED/NOT SELECTED.
Click Start at bottom.
Heimdall:-
Open up a terminal window in the directory where twrp.img is downloaded.
Type in heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp.img --no-reboot
4.Once flash is complete, press Volume Down+Power Button to shutdown and as soon as screen is black IMMEDIATELY PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP+POWER Button and let go of Power button when you see samsung logo, continue holding Volume Up until device boots into TWRP.
5.Once device boots into TWRP, swipe to allow modifications and then Click Wipe>Format Data>type in "yes". This will format everything and reset the device.
6.Go into Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Tick only Cache and swipe to wipe it.
7.Reboot back into recovery by Reboot>Recovery>Do not Install.
8.Once rebooted back into TWRP, transfer the attached zip to phone Internal or SDcard, DO NOT RENAME THE ZIP.
9.Flash the zip by, Install > Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip, swipe to flash it.
10.Wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot into system by, Reboot > System > Do not install.
11.Device will boot into Android 10 One UI 2.0 wait patiently for about 15mins.
12.Once device boots, setup as usual, you will need internet.
13.Voila! You have successfully installed TWRP alongside Stock firmware on Android 10 M305FDDU5CTF2 firmware.

Quick Question
Actually I read here on XDA before, that the only way to root One UI is to patch the whole firmware using magisk, then flash it via ODIN. Since I can't download a large (over 2 gigs of) firmware, I was looking for a substitute.
After flashing TWRP as per your post above, would I be able to flash magisk via it amd root my M30? Would it be fine? Have anyone rooted their M30 with TWRP?
BTW, thanks @Akhil99

Just found this thread and subscribed, but it won't load in Labs app for now (in traditional XDA fashion). [Edit: loads in Labs now]
Anyway, Fantastic!
Put your twrp and Magisk 20.4 stable on USB and booted old twrp (yours, for tb2 A7-10), sees USB storage fine, flashed new A7-20 twrp, rebooted - no problem - sees USB storage, flashed Magisk 20.4 no problem, booted system, Magisk SU and manager installed and basic functions working fine!
Many thanks. Please let me know re any further information you have or refinements you make for this tablet!
All best with TB2 A7-20, kind regards, PW

TWRP 3.4.0 build is up

Any suggestion where to find newer ROM for this device?

try to flash it again with SP Flash Tool.
If you're on stock rom, be sure to boot to recovery (power + volume- + volume+) immediately after flashing it, and flash the KK_LP_no_stock_recovery.zip patch

thanks, I managed to place the twrp after many years. but I need help with the root, try to flash the Magisk-v24.3.zip and v25.2 but I get an error (ERROR: 1) and it does not install. Would you know which version of magisk can be installed on the LL stock rom (4.4.2)?

This is not a recovery issue, wrong place
