I tried Kingo Root and Root Genius and some other software but finally failed to root this phone. My phone is Lenovo A1000.

For users who flagged this as "Unclear what you're asking": assume Android 5.0 if OP doesn't clarify since I don't think Lenovo pushed any update beyond that version.– Firelord ♦Jan 22, 2016 at 17:17

To root a Lenovo A1000 smartphone (Android 5.0), go to kingroot.net and follow their directions to download, install, and run KingRoot. I downloaded the Android .apk to my Linux laptop and copied it to the phone via adb, but I'm sure downloading directly to the phone (they provide a QR code) would also work.
By the way, add SuperSU to the list of ones that do not work on this phone.
