Hi kiselina777, I too am searching for a root method that doesn't require unlocking the bootloader (most because of the 14 day wait), have you had any luck in finding one?

Hello Colloseo,
do you have any news regarding the systemless rooting?
Thanks!

Any progress at all regarding systemless rooting?

Does anyone tried these methods already? Any update on that?

when comes method 3?
and is this really also possible with the P2?

At this time, the only available methods are described here:
Lenovo P2

I had a problem
I've tried the first way:
unlock the bootlader (and wait 14 days)
get adb
flash TWRP
put the SuperSU .zip file, found here supersu.com/download, in the normal memory (i don't have a sdcard)
open the recovery, that now is TWRP recovery, search the supersu .zip file that i previously put in my phone and click install
reboot the phone
and NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING, I've done it so many times, reflashing the recovery, installing SuperSU from the play store before installing from the phone, but whenever i enter the SuperSU app it says "no root found".
Even if TWRP recovery said "installed succesfully" my phone still doesn't have the root privileges, did I miss any passage?
EDIT
I've tried with me.phh.superuser.apk, found in the xda developer instead of the SuperSU official site, and using the superuser256.zip found in the same site (forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73667960&postcount=5).
Work perfectly
Thanks medwatt !!!!!!!!!!!

I activated OEM but after countdown started, 2 days later the server is down and since no news.
Did you root after waiting 14 days or before the countdown ended?

I am thinking about trying to root my Huawei H867G straight talk phone using the method above, but may I ask how you bricked your phone. I don't see much information about rooting this model on the internet so there isn't much support. thanks.
Also was anyone able to install CWM and if so how, Was that done after rooting and were there any problems while installing it?
Stock rom image for Huawei H867G
I found this on the Huawei website and it says this image covers these 3 models. suitable for H867G,H881C,H868C.
Still looking for more information regarding rooting this with Framaroot and installing CWM. I would love to post a link but I don't have the required 10 post to do so, and I don't want to troll 10 threads to do so. EDIT I CAN POST LINK! here is a screenshot image as an attachment. Here is the link:
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/search/index.htm?keywords=H867g
Open link and click on downloads.
I know this thread is old, but I just updated my above post with a link to stock Rom. But was anyone ever able to install CWM or Twrp recovery to Huawei H867G?

Flash a custom recovery such as TWRP and use it to install a SuperSU zip (preferrably the latest version.) The exact details can be found in the forum somewhere.
Is there anyway to do this without unlocking the boot loader?
It won't flash the recovery when I try and the guide I found to unlock the boulder requires going to a site to get an unlock code and that site is down.

I don't think so. You can't install a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader, and without a custom recovery you can't flash to the system partition, which you need to do with most "regular" root apps such as SuperSU. Since KingRoot doesn't seem to work, it seems you're out of luck.
I remember that it took me quite an effort to get my bootloader unlocked, I had to do a ton of searching in these and other forums, but in the end I found a way that worked. Maybe you just need to dig a little deeper

Unable To Root.Tried To Root With SuperSU 3 Times.

Hello All My Friends.
I want to Run XMOD but as you all know it does not works on UNROOTED devices.So i tried to root my device. I tried rooting my device with several methods BUT FAILED TO ROOT. Please check my steps below. Are They Correct ?
MY VERY FIRST METHOD
* I tried rooting with several apps like Framaroot, kingoroot, but I failed.
SECONDLY
* Then i found a thread on XDA for rooting by flashing SuperSU. Alright.
What i did was first i unlocked my Bootloader. (MY SCREEN IS SHOWING : Device Is Unlocked : Status Code 3)
Then i installed TWRP.
After that i Flashed 'UPDATE SuperSU v 2.46.zip'
After successful flashing MY PHONE STUCKED ON 'UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER WARNING LOGO'.
* i waited for more than 30 minutes but i failed.
THIRD METHOD
I also tried with this method.
Downloaded 'r2-motog-superboot' and connected my phone.
Typed this command superboot-windows.bat file.
PHONE RESTARTED BUT IT DID NOT ROOTED MY DEVICE. I checked with Root Checker App It Is Showing UNROOTED.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME TO ROOT.
MY PHONE's O/S Is Android Marshmallow 6.0
I FLASHED MY PHONE WITH STOCK ROM I NOW MY DEVICE IS WORKING. BUT I WANT TO ROOT IT.

There is already a guide to root with TWRP.
Would be great if you find way to root with exploit - without TWRP

That guide causes bootloop on F2FS.This method also works on f2fs file system.
I have a problem with this guide though. When I install Magisk through TWRP, when it flashes boot, it gets stuck, screen goes black for a while, then the phone vibrates and shows blue notification LED.... Really don't know what that's about

Is any of our (unfortunately only) few developers handling P2 working/trying to look for a method of rooting without unlocking bootloader?

Try Kingroot.
Do we need to unlock the bootloader and wait for 14 days to apply this root method ?
Please add it to this guide if so.
Thanks.
EDIT :
Your device needs to be unlocked by OEM.
Your device must have TWRP installed.
I didn't see it when I read the post for the first time. So we do have to wait 14 days before flashing TWRP.

Sorry for reply on a months-old thread but, has anyone firgured out how to root and install custom roms without unlocking Bootloader? I got a Chinese unit and not having a Chinese number is huge roadblock for me. :/
Is it necessary to flash both supersu and magisk for rooting device?? Will the device get rooted if i flash only Supersu?
There is not a lot of Updates released by Lenovo for this model, so if it breaks the OTA, just download from here

Without unlocking bootloader you cant do anything

Will this method work with the S244 Nougat build?
I have a P2c72 model hardware which I bought from China, but it came loaded with P2a42 firmware which updated itself to Nougat S244 via OTA updates. I'm not sure how to root it and I'm currently in the 14 waiting period to unlock the bootloader!
