I'm wondering now, myself, because I flashed Nougat and I figure Root would be nice to have.

Hi
Root is possible on Nougat but you need TWRP , follow all steps 1-10

Does this require starting over or could I restore a backup I made today?

mate , do not know what you mean
backup , what backup ??
Please explain in detail
I think he means that he has backed up in TWRP before trying to root.
Every time I try to flash with twrp I get stuck in a bootloop or in the recovery with the /data error.
Best of luck to you. Please let me know if you find a way. Thanks

LOL... Who cares what backup I'm talking about? That's irrelevant to the question, which was "does this require starting over?"
Let me try asking again, I suppose.
Does this require [mean that I'll need to be] starting over [Reformatting/wiping all data on device; 'starting' from factory settings] or could I restore a backup [the copied data from my phone to another device, in order to restore data] I made [after rooting with the method you posted]?

Relevant is to ask correctly , to the point and give relevant information , this is not the mind reading section of the forum
what kind of backup you made? Titanium?
What data you mean , user data or apps data?
If you followed the procedure in post 3 the same in both telephones( same model) and both have the same firmware restoring app and settings , user data should be possible ...data of those apps i would not restore .

Does this imply that one backup may not restore data in this case while another may? I used SmartSwitch on a PC, Titanium wouldn't let me back up without root. Are you implying that it matters which backup program I use?
I wasn't planning to back up app data such as game progress, just apps, user settings and files.
I've already started from factory 3 times on this phone and I simply didn't want to go through settings again.
Regardless I think this gives me the information I needed, I wouldn't feel so bad about restarting my phone again just to root it, if I can get all my settings and files back.

Do you mean keeping the encrypted data from the stock firmware? If so, then no. Root always changes the encryption keys. Even the methods that allow root + encryption still require a wipe at first.

I can't root my Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos B5512... Can anybody help me?
yup, tell me wat problem you are facing..
i got the same device
The truth is that I am a newby... I have only read about routing and custom roms. But I can't even start trying to root my device because I can't enter recovery mode...

turn your cell phone off completely and then do that way

Is this (http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-y-pro-duos-gt-b5512-root-65406/) the right way?

yes, you should start by rooting the cellphone. (but are you sure what rooting does and why to use it?)
hmm, your link is not what i had use, but if you are okay with it then go ahead.
about backup, find for CWM.zip, its a clockworkmod recovery skin. and you will find instructions in it. then you can backup/restore everything.

There is a way to root it without do a factory reset ?
i''m sorry to say, but if root doesn't work without a factory reset then i suggest a factory reset.
and also please give a clear picture. like what root tool you are using.
You can backup your important apps and data with titanium backup and then do a factory reset

Hey everybody I hope someone can help me to rescue my phone.
I flashed carbon and ukm. Then wanted to change GPU governor to simpleondemand and got hot reboots. Was not able to fully boot and lost imei. I tried to restore my backup but they didn't want to boot either, same with another fresh install. Thereafter I deleted synapse folder through recovery and was able to boot my restored ROM. Now I have no imei, no data, no WiFi... In addition my files don't show the files on my phone anymore I only can see them in my recovery, all is still there. My problem is I don't have an extra efs backup only two ROM backups. First I would have liked to know how I can rescue my data? Cause its not showing on booted phone and because of that also not on computer via USB. Is there a proper way to save and what can I do to maybe save my phone. I flashed ROM for years on many different devices and something like that never happened before any help appreciated thanks!!!

Try this thread it is a bit more up to date. It includes info about RMM state and has a link to the latest zip file. As for rooting I would suggest using magisk.
Also use:
Latest Odin 3.13.1
Latest twrp 3.2.3.2 for the s8+
Latest no-verity-,opt- encrypt ver 6.0
As for the data wiping issue it is necessary to format data in twrp . For backing up apps/data you could try smart switch or an app from playstore. I generally use twrp for my backups but I do have titanium backup as well but it does require root.

Hi Mustafa,
Helium does not backup all apps data (some yes and some no)
Smart switch does not backup any apps data (only backup and restore the apps without the data)
so how you managed this (Smart Switch for backup and restore data) or you mean the apps without its data (settings and games levels)?
Which steps and files exactly you used to root? did you wipe every data on phone?

And actually there are one-click root apps that, if they find an exploit, use it to root. But afaik they're very rare by now, and those apps are extremely sketchy (like kingo root,...). So if you come across one WHATEVER YOU DO do NOT install it and use it.
