I couldn't find a solid answer to this question anywhere. I have a stock axon 7 A2017UV1.0.0B29 build and wanted to root the phone, but also wanted to upgrade to Nougat b15. Would I have better luck rooting first on b29 and then upgrading or should I attempt to root after the upgrade is complete? I'm not really looking to install any custom Rom at the moment and would just like to have a rooted device. Many of the tutorials bundle root in with a custom ROM which is part of the reason why I'm having so much trouble searching for a solution.

Just find a guide and follow it until you have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. That's all you need to have root.
After that you just flash Magisk or supersu

Hey guys. Just got a G2 and I haven't really messed around with rooting or custom roms in a few years. I was wondering if it's possible to root and load a custom on this phone? I just got one earlier today, it has the latest OTA and it seems like a good phone so far. Is there a definitive guide or thread somewhere? I took a look and I'm not fully understanding all the terminology. Thanks!
Download and install http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906 (Stump Root)
It will root your device with one tap.
After rooting download SuperSU and install
And for recovery download AutoRec http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
Hey guys,
I got my GRA-L09 yesterday and already unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted it.
I want to try out this site's custom ROMs, buy I've read in some threads that my phone needs to be updated to 6.0 if I want to install 6.0 ROMs. Is this correct? If yes, where and how can I update my phone? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance!
Looking to buy this phone soon but I was just wondering about a few things. Im buying the canadian variant G935W8.
1. Can this device be rooted on nougat as well or only marshmallow? Im buying it brand new so I think it will probably be running the latest firmware.
2. Is there any issues with unlocking the bootloader? Is it neccesary to do so if you want root and custom roms?
the bootloader is not locked on the w8 as its the exynos variant and yes nougat can be rooted its the same as 935f

Thanks. Also another question I had. If the phone comes with marshmallow and I root it will I be able to install nougat roms directly or will I have to update the bootloader and modem? In that case would it be better to update it to nougat first and then root?
Updating your phone would cause you to lose root anyways as the file structure on nougat is completely different then marshmellow.
Rooting also prevents OTA updates, so you would end up having to install nougat manually.
I suggest you upgrade your software then root it. You can use systemless root from magisk. Using TWRP just flash the latest magisk file and you are rooted. The file will automatically root your phone as part of the installation process.

If you get it with MM (highly unlikely) just don't do anything and you should get an OTA notification otherwise you can download Odin, google it as I don't have a link and nougat from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767144483 and you can flash it yourself now rooting is a little different then it used to be do a search on the s7 edge for the info on that
the reason is yes you will need to download the BL not sure about modem but you might as well do it too
I just rooted my G935W8 running 7.0 by following the instructions in the first half of this video.
Hey everyone. Like the title says I have the T-Mobile H918. I rooted it a couple years ago when I first got it. I am currently on the H91810u ROM. I do have TWRP installed but I'm not sure what version, it is undoubtedly a couple years old at least. I would like to flash the more current stock rooted OREO ROM which is posted in the development section. I'm having an issue though because it clearly says I need a more recent version of TWRP, but I can not seem to find that version anywhere, much less the steps to flash the recovery. Sadly it has been so long since my initial root that I have forgotten the steps. Are there some concise steps to accomplish what I want? I would prefer not to have to wipe my phone to update, but if I need to than I need to. Again, information about this subject seems to scattered everywhere and there are conflicting opinions.
TLDR: Where can I find current TWRP and how can I flash it to then flash the stock rooted OREO ROM.
Thank you XDA =D
I just bought a secondhand s10+ exynos. I wanted to root and install custom roms on it but all the solution i found is complicated. Id there any way to root this and install twrp without downloading the firmware? Thanks jn advance
I would say that you can use the TWRP guide to install the recovery and then continue to install a custom rom or using Thunderstorm Kernel if you want to use the stock rom.
You still need to unlock the bootloader but it is the only solution i know so far.
