Warning: Your Warranty is void. I am not responsible for any kind of bricks or software failure! Only for MTK6752 ! And not for the same Numbered Tablet. this guide is for the Phone.
The Lenovo S8 7600 Golden Warrior is a very nice phone with some quite good specs. Only cons I could find was that it has none of community and tons of bloatware which is unremovable. Yet!
Lets root it, Guys.
You Need:
Model A7600 Only:
1.The Lenovo Firmware including Chinese TWRP which is provided here by me:
(Thats the only one i could find. If anyone is Brave enough to make an English Version and wants to upload it for this thread fell free to do it.)
Firmware:

Chinese TWRP:

Model A7600M:
Firmware:

TWRP Recovery(Chinese):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzt5QqUHjbg3aXRTMkFSczZoZWM/view?usp=sharing
2.SP Flash Tools. This will be Needed for flashing the Sock Rom Incl. Recovery. Version 5.13xxxx Minimum Requied.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/zx5m9mp3x5p413h/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1452.00.zip
3. The Meadiatek Driver(Explains itself i think)
http://d-h.st/1PN
4. The SuperSU.ZIP (Thanks Chainfire, we love you)
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
5.(optional) If you want to use the Google Apps i recommend Downloading the GApps Mini for 5.0 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/gapps-mini-t3089612
Now Lets get Started:
1. Unzip the Driver Package and Run the Exe. After Installation, restart you Computer. If using Windows 8, disable Signaure Driver Enforcement.
2. Turn Off you device. Open the SP Flash Tools Folder and run Flash_tool.exe as Administrator.
3. Now Unzip the VibeUI Firmware Package. In SP Flashtools klick on Scatter Load. Navigate to the VibeUI Folder and choose the MT6752_Android_scatter.txt.
Edt: Some People Including me had Problems with the Scatter File. However, If getting errors, try creating your own scatter file referring this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151251
4. Check if every Downloadfile exept the System is Checked, else you will get an error.
5.IMPORTANT: Go to settings, Download and CHECK the DA DL All with Checksum.
6. Klick on Download.
7. NOW the Tricky Part. Remove the Battery. Insert it again. Now leave the Phone Turned off and plug the USB Cable in, but holding the Volume UP button.
8. If you get a Red Bar and a Yellow followed by some grey in SP Flash tools you have done it right. If the Flash was successfully, you will get a green tick mark as passed.
9. Now unplug USB and take the battery out and pop it in again. Boot the Phone. Dont get shocked if it doesn't boot up fast, it usually takes about 6-8 Minutes. Be Patient!
10. If the Phone Boots up successfully, configure it and Connect it as a MTP Device on the Computer.
11. Now Copy the GApps.zip and the SuperSu.Zip to the Root of the Phone Memory.
12. Boot into Recovery (Holding VOL UP AND DOWN while turning the Phone on) and flash the two Zips. Its in Chinese but you will
only need to flash it once. Flash Zip is the Upper Left Button. Choose your GappsZip and use the Back Button to get to the main Screen. Now flash the SuperSA.zip.
13.Reboot. If you dont know how to just take off the battery ( Its quite risky so better try using the Buttons. The Layout is the same as in the English Version)
Finished!Now your Device is Rooted and got the Gapps on it. Download Titanium Backup and remove the Chinese Crap Bloatware. You are now the Master of your Device. I would be really happy about Donations, since It was very Hard to get Hands on these Roms and Recoverys.
INFO: Some People Complained about the lost IMEI, Thank you Soyer88 for the fix! Sorry that I was away for too long, I got my finals.
Soyer88 said:
For those of you who lost the IMEI address on this phone, or ANY other, here is simple guide witch solved my problem:
1. Download this http://www.4shared.com/file/aNRAdrvgba/sn_gen.html , or search sn_gen.exe (Dont worry, the program is not translated that isn't a problem)
2. In the ??IMEI 1 field write your original imei address (behind the battery)
3. Click on ??MP0B_001?? - It will create a file on your desktop named MP0B_001.
4. Copy the file in your phone, Install Root Explorer, send the file in data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ and change the permission of the file (check all boxes)
5. Restart the phone.
Thats it ! This phone is very tricky to flash (or recover) , because of the chipset.. its very rare
I had a lot of problems to fix it, You have to use the right version of Sp flash tool !!!
Here is a russian forum with ALL the custom ROM's (including the official chinese) and support for this phone - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=657464 it helped me a lot!

Hey
Could someone tell me what to do? I flashed a rom and recovery via Sp Tool (not from this guide) on my S8 A7600. It was a custom rom with removed bloatware I found on a Russian site (google translate).
Now I find that my baseband is unknown and no IMEI's either. I didn't notice this in the beginning though, I did root the phone first and cleaned up even further with Titanium Backup, including the default phone and
contact apps.
Don't know if this could have had an impact or not, but my impression is that it has to do with modem driver, which might be a different one (it seems the custom rom was built from chinese rom). Both scatter files (rom and recovery) does not seem to touch the nvram area, although this mtk flashing stuff is completely new to me.
Have any tips? This chipset is new for IMEI repair, so is unsupported from what I gather.
I flashed another rom I found and the IMEI came back, hurray :laugh:
Good to know its not some permanent lame fault the mtk engineers would have missed (unlikely). Well now back to customizing romz, the default lenovo rom is far from what I consider usable.

Actually I think I said that wrong. I am now using this rom: VIBEUI_V2.5_ _USR_ST1524_5.1460.1_1506111858_MP6V3_CU_CN_otafull
This is the latest official stock rom directly from Lenovo. I was referring to one of the rom's that's flashed by those shabby vendors, full of adware, malware and viruses.
I was not aware of this situation as this is my first china phone.
To Op: No I did not use your Rom. I've tried a few others and the *Real* stock ota rom from lenovo was the best for me, also the latest stable build. I found it here btw: lenovo-forums.ru(can't post full link)
Also I'm looking for this: A7600_TWRP2.8.7.0_2015-07-18.7z <--- This is the only recovery I've found that has english language. It was posted on 4pda.ru but link is down. Also seen it on those chinese sites, but requires account to download.

My Suggestion would be: Download and try my Rom and Recovery. Then download SuperSu/.Zip and try to flash it via Chinese TWRP which i am providing. you can locate the buttons from any other TWRP, even from other phones. If done, you could et root uininstaller and remove the crappy bloatware like i did. then install gapps

I already have chinese TWRP, and I'm rooted. The rom I'm using also does not have any insidious bloatware, except a few chinese apps that don't even require root to remove. Besides I seem to remember the system.img file in your rom was corrupt, tried to download several times.
Just saw this at 4pda.ru:
Port of K3 Note VIBE 2.8 1530 A7600 5.1】 【07/15/25
Download: yadi.sk/d/ULLundAAi5dk6
Will upload the File again, sorry to hear that.
where do you download the latest firmware?this phone doesn t have ota?no need to use flash tool if it s the case..you can root it easily with an apk
so i don t understand you manip
Mine was really hard to root, none of Kinroot or any other tool/app worked.
so could you say use what did you use for rooting it?
i just to order one so i would like to erase all chinese apk
are you happy with this phone?
Like I said, the Rom provided here is Pre Rooted and has TWRP included. With twrp you can root any rom, but seems like the file is corrupt so ill have to upload it again as soon as i get home

New full firmware package available: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5Lqys5p5m_YU2xxZ3d4T0V5WjA
VIBEUI_V2.5_1532_5.1797.1_ST_A7600_CU
I got this as ota update yesterday, on official lenovo rom. Btw, this needs to be flashed with stock recovery (rename file as "update.zip")
Actually, you can flash it with TWRP/custom recovery, just tried it
Also, you should flash Gapps after the initial boot and setup, or it may cause problems.
Here is also the TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery with English language: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5Lqys5p5m_YR0VfSXFPZ0RIZEk
The new firmware is good. So far I've noticed it has solved a big bug with launcher. Previously I could not use widgets with 3rd party launcher (settings fc), now I can.
The launcher bug is still present, but not with Google Now Launcher when flashed with gapps.
PS: Is it ok for me to post this here? Perhaps better to make new thread?
Aosp rom
I found what seems to be a recent AOSP based rom: A7600-ZP-15.08.06.zip
Though only so far seen it on Chinese sites, like this: http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=1393301215&shareid=1110457716&third=0
Don't think I will bother getting account for that, but just letting you know.
Man thank you! If you could download this and pack it in one zip, upload it on your google drive and test it again we could privide yours! Because i sold mine so i cajt test it. Else im still ready to upload it

Stock rom with occidental google apps that cam with the 2nd gen of V6888 (The one with no logo and with the back you can remove from top right)
No Root, no Recovery, but no chinese apps: just for prople who wants to restore the phone to a clean stock rom then you can easily root and add recovery.
I had to ask a seller for it, Pandawill has only the old one with tons of china apps and no european market.
The archive contains drivers with explanation, SP Flash Tools and the folder with the rom itself.
You must use "download" function since BOOT ini will remain the older one.
Apparently this firmware saved even my camera that didn't work before.
Be careful and, anyhow, you can find the older stock rom from Pandawill easily.
Here is the UbuntuOne Link

Inside the rar you'll find the flash tool, just follow a tutorial to flash an MTK.
In a nutshell:
-open the SPFlashTool
-choose file->open scatter and select the scatter in the firmware folder (there is just one, you can't go wrong)
-connect the phone to the computer (Win only, sorry) without the battery, press Download, then Ok when he says boot.ini is missing
-insert the battery and the it will start flashing the firmware till you see a green circle.
Disconnect, boot, and here you are!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdUdHejJor4
here is a video of a full tutorial that consider even the driver setup, but you don't need it if you installed snappea or PDAnet , since the MTK driver are installed by those two software.
Or just google around for the MTK6577 drivers, maybe you can find them in a standalone installer.
If you have win 7/8 remember to allow the non signed driver installation (google is your friend here too...hehehe)
Thanks DioMOrgan
I have few questions:
Will this work on an already rooted phone? (more like do I have to skip any steps so as not to root it again?)
Does this install ENglish Play store (You mentioned Occidental but was not sure of which language it might contain)
WIl this also cure the satellite and GPS problmes reported elsewhwre?
Kindly guide me.
Thanks

Guys are Italian and I write a little bad English: I am in a serious fix, my V6888 is corrupted.
I followed the guide you provided, only that when I came out the inscription that is missing the BOOTIMG I have posted the file "uboot_bd86_77_emmc_v6888.bin" inside the folder of ROMS and I gave the OK. I have installed everything except that now the phone stops on initial Android logo and does not go ahead, it seems to go right. What can I do to recover? I tried to redo the flash without check of BOOTIMG, installed everything again but the phone does the same defect. How do I save it? Please help!!! Thank you all and have a nice day!!!

I solved it by installing Pandawull ROM first and then reinstalling this without BOOTIMG. Doing this everything was fine, now the phone works fine! Thanks all the same!!: Vittoria:

Thank you very much Dimorgan for th time and patience in helping me/us. Really appreciated.

There is not much development since last year. I just about managed the 4.0.4 for English play store and stuff.
A lot of people compaints that Huawei is not updated U10 with kitkat
well the good news is, you can take a little bit trouble and update it to not only kitkat but to Emui 3.0 which makes your phone running par to Ascend mate7

Here we go.
Download all the above files.
1) Root your device with Root Genius (at time's it might take several attempts so do not give up)
2) as soon as you root, go to the playstore and install super su by chainfire. let super su take over the kingroot because i personaly feel Super Su give's the full root.
3) one's you have super user, open it and make sure its functioning.
4) now install MKT Droid tool and backup your NVRAM for which you got to install Vcom drivers to recognise the device. best OS is Win7 32bit to get things straight. incase if the device is not recognised, reboot your PC and try again.
5) One's MKT Tool recognises the device, install adbd on the mobile. it's a paid version. (you know how to get it)
6) open adbd it's in chinese. tik all the boxes in adbd and close.
7) now click on root button at the bottom of MKT Droid tools. it's initially in yellow color. untill it becomes green, you cannot backup NVRAM (this is your esf and imei which you are going to loose after flashing kitkat rom from different mobile brand)
8)after you succeed backup up the NVRam, you did the toughest job of all time.
9)now flash G750-T00 Rom with flash tools which you are going to find in the last link i've provided. search net how to flash with flash tool.
10) after flashing the base, you will loose the network. first thing you got to do is root your mobile with root genius. then install playstore. google for playstore apk. install playstore, sign in with your gmail id and install adbd again. (if you do not want to install play store you know the black way to do it.) one's you install the adbd, tik the boxes and go to MTK Droid tools to restore the NVRAM. which will bring back your network connections.
11) one's you get the network, flash the 251 base as per the last link provided. this one comes with many goodies like twrp, 3minit battery mode etc. one's you flash this base, go to backup and reset and factory reset your phone to gain access to GPRS. it will fix by itself.
12)reboot into twrp and flash gapps.
Enjoy the Rom. EMUI 3.0 is smooth and changing lockscreen wallpapers will blow your mind. over all the mobile drastically changes from mid-range experience to flasgship experience
there after you can flash any custom roms available on chinese site for T20
Hi @jacktackle, good day!
First of all, excuse me for asking noob questions. I'm new here and I really have limited knowledge about smartphones.
I just wanna ask if this would work on my phone? Will my phone be completely rooted? Because I tried several rooting softwares, and everytime I restart my phone I always lose my root access.

Hi @jacktackle, good day!
First of all, excuse me for asking noob questions. I'm new here and I really have limited knowledge about smartphones.
I just wanna ask if this would work on my phone? Will my phone be completely rooted? Because I tried several rooting softwares, and everytime I restart my phone I always lose my root access.
Again, sorry for my noob questions. I would really appreciate your help!

this is been tested on only G750-U10
i do not know whether root genius works for other bases.
and yes, i found this guide on a russian site. translated with google and presented it on XDA for the people who are strugling to get to kitkat. plus many things arn't explained in the russian site whih i figured by myself.
so please respect we do free job here to help other's who are like us.

Hello Jacktackle,
Does this procedure works with stck B119?
Thank you in advance.

well the good news is, you can take a little bit trouble and update it to not only kitkat but to Emui 3.0 which makes your phone running par to Ascend mate7
Download all the above files.
1) Root your device with Root Genius (at time's it might take several attempts so do not give up)
2) as soon as you root, go to the playstore and install super su by chainfire. let super su take over the kingroot because i personaly feel Super Su give's the full root.
3) one's you have super user, open it and make sure its functioning.
4) now install MKT Droid tool and backup your NVRAM for which you got to install Vcom drivers to recognise the device. best OS is Win7 32bit to get things straight. incase if the device is not recognised, reboot your PC and try again.
5) One's MKT Tool recognises the device, install adbd on the mobile. it's a paid version. (you know how to get it)
6) open adbd it's in chinese. tik all the boxes in adbd and close.
7) now click on root button at the bottom of MKT Droid tools. it's initially in yellow color. untill it becomes green, you cannot backup NVRAM (this is your esf and imei which you are going to loose after flashing kitkat rom from different mobile brand)
8)after you succeed backup up the NVRam, you did the toughest job of all time.
9)now flash G750-T00 Rom with flash tools which you are going to find in the last link i've provided. search net how to flash with flash tool.
10) after flashing the base, you will loose the network. first thing you got to do is root your mobile with root genius. then install playstore. google for playstore apk. install playstore, sign in with your gmail id and install adbd again. (if you do not want to install play store you know the black way to do it.) one's you install the adbd, tik the boxes and go to MTK Droid tools to restore the NVRAM. which will bring back your network connections.
11) one's you get the network, flash the 251 base as per the last link provided. this one comes with many goodies like twrp, 3minit battery mode etc. one's you flash this base, go to backup and reset and factory reset your phone to gain access to GPRS. it will fix by itself.
12)reboot into twrp and flash gapps.

Enjoy the Rom. EMUI 3.0 is smooth and changing lockscreen wallpapers will blow your mind. over all the mobile drastically changes from mid-range experience to flasgship experience

Just got this same Tab for my son & have been looking around for the best ways to root. It's actually a nice little tablet. For $65 I'm quite impressed.
Couple questions for you if I may.
-Does this download have any prerequisite downloads, surveys or ads before it's installed on my PC? You know, junk & not just the program.
-Which super user app is installed?
Kingo root comes with all the files you need with no surveys or bloatware. It installs its own super user program but I deleted it wit ha system app remover and installed super su from the play store. If you can, after you root your tablet can you pull the stock lenovo launcherHD and upload it to here. I deleted mine and you need it to change the lock screen wallpaper.
hI guys!
Good to see topic about our tab 2. Small question - any1 of you got lolipop update already? Week ago Lenovo said it's ready... I have so annoying touch bug and hope update gonna fix this.
The update is not out yet but lenovo said late summer so I would think it would come out sometime in august. Once it comes out can someone try kingo root on it, I'm not updating if I can't get root.

Lolipop is out, but not in every region yet. Sadly, not in mine too (Poland).

Well I tired to get a recovery on the tablet but failed. Mtk tool and sb flash didn't work since the tablet is write protected and also I don't think is works for media tek 8 series chips like it does with 6 series chips. I was going to build twrp but you need a unlocked bootloader to flash it and when I run fastboot OEM unlock it returns three dots. I think my fastboot drivers got messed up after I unhard bricked my OnePlus and that's causing it to return 3 dots. I will try another pc and report back.
Nope it still returned the three dots. Well I'm out of ideas to unlock the boot loader. Maybe a more experienced dev can do it or we can ask lenovo nicely.
Bootloader
According to a thread on the lenovo community... the device has a mediatek proceesor, which can be flashed without unlocking anything using their SP flash tool. Only downside is any custom roms would have to be built for mediatek and using a "scatter" file.
Thread: forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Android-based-Tablets/how-to-unlock-the-Lenovo-A3000-bootloader/m-p/1588718/
Stock Rom: androidxda.com/download-lenovo-stock-rom-models
Flash Instructions: androidxda.com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool
The rom's source is also available on the Lenovo support site.
Unfortunately, I'm not expert at anything to make anything happen with this information.
---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------
Then again, all that may have nothing to do with the A3300, since it's all based on the A3000... but same processor type? doesn't seem like mediatek has any info on their site about it either.

It was like pulling teeth, but I FINALLY got TWRP running on this tablet. It was EXTRA painful for me because the tool I use asks you to select your device resolution and like a dummy, I actually picked 1024x600 (which is the device's resolution in landscape, but not portrait mode.) When the thing finished installing TWRP and booted up, I was locked out of the tablet because the touch elements for twrp to actually restart or even unlock the device ran off the screen making using them impossible. I had to wait seven hours for the battery to finally die before I could access the thing again, (thanks for skipping the reset button on the a7-30F, Lenovo!)
In a nutshell though, I started with Kingo Root, which was successful, and then used Easy Magic TWRP Installer made specifically for mediatek devices, found on another xda thread. JUST MAKE SURE that when it says "Unable to detect your device resolution" that you choose the highest res below 600x1024 (it was like 546x964 or something like that. I can't remember exactly.) After I had a working TWRP, I switched to chainfire's SuperSU
I hope this helps.

Let me know how it works...
The biggest challenge with installing a ROM methinks though, is that you have to use the SP Flash tool to actually upload a rom. I could be wrong... I haven't tried through TWRP. It took me so long just to fix my screw up that I put it down for a while. The SP Flash Tool needs some kind of Android Scatter file, (probably a Lenovo specific MT8127_Android_Scatter.txt), which I have been unable to find or figure out from the source. I'm just not that talented.
It IS entirely possible that just applying a rom via TWRP will work fine, but it's also likely that the system will bark at you. I'm curious to see what happens.:good:
Usually you can get the scatter file for mediatek device with mkt tools but the option is blocked out when I plug the tablet in. I downloaded the cm source but I ran into my first hiccup when I use cat /proc/mtd to extract the boot.img it won't show any of the partitions.

Yeah, I think the mtk tools app is unable to access the root shell on the device for some reason, keeping it from being able to grab the scatter. I'm not sure why it's not working though. I got SuperSU installed and running on the tab, but that application still fails to get to the root shell.
I can't find any time to work on porting cm to the A7-30; Can anyone else give it a shot.?

How is the update? Is it worth it?
Finally, after more than a year searching, asking, try & error session, I compiled the safest method to get root and custom recovery for this phone.
As you know, there are very little support and resources out there for this model. Like the title said, I provide the resources within my knowledge and skills to help you.
I, myself debug this so you don't have to worry about making the same mistake I made. (What mistake you ask? Hmmm..)
This phone come with 2 variants. Mine is 1GB Ram but I'm sure this will work for any K10E70 as well.
Before you guys start all this, make sure you know what you doing. At least, prepare. Dig some more about the item I mentioned. Get to know what the "do" and "don't", because if you just ignore this, in between now to success, there a greater risk of your phone getting brick. Last but not least, do backup.
Okay, lets get started...
WHAT YOU NEED
#1 Courage (For trying something new..)
#2 Patient (Lot of it..)
#3 ROM (This ROM is built for China market, so there's no GAPPS since they had their own version of "Google". But don't worry, I got this covered..)
#4 Magisk - Systemless root
#5 TWRP custom recovery
#6 GAPPS (Optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Flashing ROM using stock recovery
- Place ROM in SD card root.
- Reboot to recovery. (Power button+Vol Up)
- Once you get in recovery, go to 'Apply Update from SD Card'.
- Find your ROM zip file, install.
- Wait till finish, reboot. (or it'll reboot itself, either one..)
- You have to understand that this ROM is meant for China market, so there's
a lot of Chinese bloatware. This is why you need root to remove all that.
2. Installing Magisk for root
- Install Magisk from provided link.
- Get boot.img from provided link.
- See, learn, and dig more here.
3. Flashing TWRP .img
- Get the TWRP .img from provided link.
- here how to flash and here to know what is actually TWRP .
Or
- You can download Flashify and flash from there. I can't guarantee the success but the possibility is there.
- Assumed you success, you'll find that the custom recovery is in Chinese (again..).
- Don't panic, I got this too. Changing the theme will also change the language.
- Get the Materialized-Dark.zip from provided link.
- Refer here how to change theme.
- Refer here to figure out the menu placing, which is which.
4. Flashing GAPPS (Optional)
- Get the GAPPS from provided link.
- Flash using your newly hot smoking TWRP
You can get all the necessary file HERE.
Million thanks and credits goes to topjohnwu for a magical Magisk, TeamWin for brilliantly TWRP, tasnim_tamim for TWRP Material theme and lastly for a some random Chinese guys and ladies who helping and providing me stock firmware. I hope there are more variety of support for this phone in the nearest future, such as custom rom, etc.
Have a nice day!
Great job, you are the man. Any help to root Lenovo K10a40 please, i think it's similar to your device and thanks in advance.

I think Magisk will do the trick, as long as you can pull out boot.img from your rom. Its worth a try. Good luck.

Does this work for K10 E40, or just E70 phones? Sounds like it's almost the same phone.

Hello to all.
I have this phone for a little longer than two years, the warranty has expired and now it's very slow and the battery will not last much longer.
I wanted to ask you if you can advise me the best rom for my phone, light and fast.
--- now i have Android 7.0 G920FXXU5EQCD ---
I would also like to ask if there is a way to keep all whatsapp chats, even archived ones.

First of all, you must root your phone!
So:
1. Install Odin http://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.10.6.zip
2. Install modded recovery / root https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-3.1.1-0-zeroflte.img.tar
2.1 See video https://youtu.be/p8uM3O85bJo
3. Download and install with recovery, in my opinion, SamStock ROM or Global Elite ROM v4

Thanks for the guidance dinamo1975. I followed these steps and have successfully rooted my SM-G920F using Odin/Twrp. Is there a modified ROM available for this phone (S6) based on LineageOS? If I've understood correctly these 2 ROMs are debloated stock ROMs. I've looked but couldn't find anything. Maybe there is no such thing?
Hey guys
i have installed ODIN and downloaded latest TWRP, but now? from video i don't understand what to do.. in RAR twrp folder there is an ISO image..

I used the you tube guide provided by usmanalitoo called "How to Root Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge Plus Nougat 7.0 Easily!"
Search for it. This message board prevents me from posting the URL because I am a "New User".
It has much more detail. It's a bit fast so I had to watch some sections several times to see what he was doing.
Make sure you've downloaded the latest version of Odin and Twrp. He shows how this is done.
He uses a file called Nougat_Root_SuperSu_No_kernel_included.zip which he downloads from MediaFire.
You have to read the URL for this download from the screen shot. It's a bit awkward. You end up with a fully
rooted phone with Twrp as the active recovery software so you are all set to install custom ROMs quite
easily. I should warn you that there is a marked shortage of ROMs for the S6, plenty for the S5 and for the
S7. For the S6 there seem to be very few. Why? I have no idea.
At 3.41 in the video, the first time he boots the phone into Twrp recovery mode I had problems. It did
not happen as smoothly as it does in the video. I had to reboot the phone MANY times and repeatedly
use the VOL-UP+POWER+HOME key combination before the phone reluctantly booted into Twrp.
You can see from the comments under the video that many people had the same issue. But it does
rectify itself eventually.
I may be able to help if you get stuck. Good luck.

r/L is 'Reactivation Lock' I believe.
There's a thread about it here -
