Please help me along here for anyone who is familiar with doing this process. It seems a little more complicated on my Lenovo TAB 3 8 Plus than some others.
I have found this, which "walks" you through what to do, but I lack all familiarity with the terms and don't want to brick my daughters tablet.
I am happy with this ROM and want to go for it. It is the process to get there I need guidance on.
1. I have downloaded the latest ROM, and "special twrp" for this device from the above.
2. It says that IOT install TWRP I have to follow this guide using QFIL.
3. Profit? lol
4. I all honesty I start feeling a bit confused from that point.
I have downloaded the QPST flash tool and qualcomm USB drop that the second link advises. The steps in the second link seem clear, but it mentions "SuperSU"...what is that? From what I gather I would follow the steps in the second link just to get TWRP installed, and then go back to the main (first link) to continue with updating the ROM. At which point I am a bit lost again, since it mentions things like installing a custom ROM or mod like MAgisk (no idea what that is or if it is anything to do with my wants. "It still cant be loaded by fastboot, but you always can flash it from TWRP. You can get boot.sig in my repo". Is that required if using the ROM provided, or only talking more generic.
I am unfortunately android stupid...someone please help guide me through steps to follow. I think all the info is in the OP of those 2 threads, it just isn't clear to me.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I found this version of TWRP on the official Chinese Lenovo forum (original thread). The Lenovo P8 was originally released in the Chinese market, but there is now a version with an English stock ROM and full Play Store access being sold online...
