Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

You can root Lenovo Vibe P1m easily using a computer and install latest TWRP 3.2.1 that unlocks the option to install Android Oreo-based custom ROM’s. You can flash SuperSu or Magisk as well to get the root privileges.

Lenovo Vibe P1m is a nano-coating which should make it splash-proof. Just like its bigger brother, it will become available for purchase in India on October 28th on Flipkart, but it will be significantly cheaper at Rs. 7,999.

The smartphone integrates a 5-inch IPS screen with 720 x 1280 resolution, and it’s powered by a quad-core 1.0 GHz MediaTek MT6735P processor. It has 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB onboard storage, microSD support up to 32 GB, and it comes pre-loaded with Android 5.1 Lollipop with Vibe UI.

Lenovo Vibe P1m is 141 mm tall, 71.8 mm wide, 9.3 mm thick, and has a weight of 148 grams. Regarding connectivity it arrives with dual-SIM support, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.1 Low Energy, and WiFi. It has an 8 MP / 5 MP camera combo, and it’s available in Onyx Black and Pearl White body colors.

The device is packed with many new features, but it lacks many new options and modifications which can be done after installing a custom recovery and rooting it. You can follow the guide and unlock the hidden features on your Lenovo Vibe P1m.

    hi guys the second method works perfectly…one small step is that u have to boot into the TWRP recovery right away after installing the recovery…otherwise the stock recovery will rewrite itself….and thanks for the procedure @veeramrit:disqus

        first of all make sure u install all the drivers for Lenovo P1m
        disconnect the phone if its connected..

        1. Open the sp flash tools and load the scatter file …
        2. Make sure u ticked usb checksum and storage checksum in options.

        3. Tick ONLY the recovery checkbox and browse to the TWRP recovery file and select it(the path of the recovery file should be seen under location)
        4.now make sure “Download only” is selected in the drop down list.
        5.FIRST click the download button and SECONLY connect the phone (in the switched off Condition)
        6.After that a green tick image will appear on the completion of flashing.
        7.Disconnect your phone and Hold VOLUME DOWN + POWER key(not the volume UP)
        8.now u see three options.. go to the recovery.
        9.At First boot in the TWRP recovery ALLOW SYSTEM MODIFICATION or else the stock recovery will rewrite itself up on reboot.
        10.then Flash the superSU zip file.
