Yes, you can root on Nougat (if you're referring to the stock ROM):

You may wish to consult this post for further things to be aware of. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72496111&postcount=270
It's up to you whether you choose to root or not, I find it useful for battery monitoring and for kernel managers, as well as needed for Viper4Arise, but depends on what you need root for.
As for custom ROMs being better than stock, it depends on what features are important to you. You can always backup the stock ROM in TWRP and try a custom ROM, then flash your stock ROM TWRP backup if you don't like that ROM.

Sorry if it has been posted somewhere else I searched but I couldn't find anything to help
Hi, what ROM did you used?
If you're using custom ROM, not stock ROM, it has already root.
nope im trying to root my friends phone for him he's on stock rom. i have rooted lots of other phone with superoneclick without any roblems but this ones a bit tricky :\
I'm afraid that you will have to flash custom ROM into it.
How can I flash a custom Rom onto it if its not even rooted?

You DO NOT have to root the GT540 to install Custom ROMs. You will need to flash a "Fastboot ROM" to install Recovery and Custom ROMs. There are plenty of guides here and on MoDaCo on how to flash custom ROMs. If a guide tells you to root your phone before flashing a ROM, don't. You don't have to.
Hope it helps,
Jack

No problems mate, It's just the GT540 differs from the rest in this case. I still stick to my views and think every phone should have an unlockable or already unlocked bootloader, Where no flash or w/e is necessary lol

Unless there is a theme style then there isn't a way.
Also you should have posted this here to get an answer to your query.
Your topic heading makes it seem like it's a how-to xD you might wanna be a bit more careful with the headings...
Also, I'm 99.99% sure you cannot install CM without rooting. Well, you might be able to just flash recovery and flash CM on it, but I won't advise something I haven't done

rooting before flashing a custom rom is useless, flashing recovery and then flashing a custom rom is how it should be done.. but ppl have just made rooting one of the steps, and now new users think rooting is actually necessary to flash a custom rom..

I've almost given up on successfully rooting and installing custom ROM on my Galaxy Note3 (N900V) It seemed that there were roadblocks at every method that I thought would work with my Verizon Note 3. The above quote suggest (to me) that rooting is no longer necessary but that it can be done simply by flashing a recovery (CWM or TWRP??) and then flashing the custom ROM.
Instructions usually assume a Windows computer to flash via usb cable. I'm running Linux so where can a find a step by step guide that will let me install Cyanogenmod or some other custom ROM that will let me debloat, and perhaps improve function on my Note 3 which I plan to be keeping for the foreseeable future.

Suggest you ask in the forum for your model .

Doesn't the Verizon version of the Note 3 have a locked bootloader that must be unlocked before flashing TWRP or a non-TW based ROM? Heimdall can flash TWRP in Linux: http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/

yes its locked .

Very doubtful someone will guide you step by step, the general idea is to root your phone, install a custom recovery, then install a ROM, there are many guides on how to do this which are tried and tested.
Have a search, it's hard to miss them.

Downgrade your device if you're on a new firmware, use a firmware for your model, flash it via odin (there are plenty of tutorials) root using towel root and you have a rooted phone, the way I did it will void your warranty and knox will be set to 0x1, this happens when you flash something you shouldn't via odin, I flashed a custom recovery, bootloader and modem via odin so my counter is no longer 0x0, there is a way you can root, install a custom recovery and flash a rom, find the Neat Rom thread in android development, get everything you need from there and fire away.
Research and read everything, until you understand it, but the general idea is, root, recovery then rom, forget about original android development for now, concentrate on actually finding a rom that will work on your device, the most common is mine which is the 900f, you're on h so you need to find one that is compatible, don't leap in without guiding yourself first, check and double check.
Good luck.

As most custom roms are pre-rooted flashing a recovery with Odin will do and there is no need to root the device first , then make a nandroid backup of your current rom in recovery and flash the rom (and Gapps for CM) of your choice. Flashing a custom recovery/kernel may void warranty though as KNOX will be tripped to 0x1. As you have the G900H CM is not option atm. You could root the phone and freeze all not needed apps and widgets with Titanium Backup.
Alright, so I FINALLY got my S5 Rooted, but now I just need a custom rom. Which one in your opinion is a better option and why? I've heard cyanogenmod is good but I can't seem to find that in Lollipop at all so I either missed it or it's not available yet, so i'm lookin for some other opinions.
SIde note: I myself got use to Lollipop, is there a way I can upgrade to that and still keep root?

We have a locked bootloader so you are limited to the Roms we have here. Yes you can upgrade and keep root. Find the rom you want to run first. This will help you decide which lollipop firmware you want to run. Roms found here.

If your bootloader is locked, and I believe it is since the phone is probably running a stock rooted 5.01 ROM, you cannot install a custom recovery which means you cannot flash any custom ROM that is not based on a stock touchwiz ROM.

Can we downgrade to a version before lollipop and flash custom roms ?
Nope, downgrading is not possible. You'll be limited to using safe strap to flash tw based Roms. Cm and aosp Roms are not possible.
No, you can't down grade to anything you could flash a custom recovery to. Look into safestrap.

As in the guide "the keep root method for OK2" clearly stated that the lowest you can downgrade the ATTS4 is kitkat NB1.
Since you are on OK2 bootlaoder and want to install the custom rom I suggest you need to find the OK2 based TW custom rom.
Because the bootloader is locked, you can not install the custom recovery like TWRP. You are stuck with either safestrap or flashfire.
I recommend to use the flashfire since safestrap is too tricky to work with lollipop. With flashfire you can flash tw based custom rom in the lollipop.
