Rooting Galaxy S6 - SM-G9200 with Nougat - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I want to root my Galaxy S6 using CF-Auto-Root.
Unfortunately my model (SM-G9200) on Android 7.0 does not have my build available in CF-Auto-Root.
I wanted to ask, can I root my model with an older build of 6.0.1? The page states:
"To be clear, just because you have a newer Android version than listed here, does NOT mean the CF-Auto-Root will not work - there's a good chance that it will!"
Is it safe to try and use an older build?
If I try and it doesn't work, will the process fail gracefully without any damage to my phone, or will I brick my phone?
What if I try to use an android 7.0 build of another model with the same board and platform?
I'm a noob at rooting, so I'm not sure why I gotta root a specific build, as long as I have the same chipset as other S6 devices with different builds?
I'd be very happy if someone knows the answers to the questions above - I'm terrified of trying these stuff and bricking my phone.
Last thing - if I cannot use any of the methods above, can someone please ask to add support for my current build & model in the CF-Auto-Root thread?
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683)
Unfortunately, as I am a noob here, I cannot post in that thread by myself.
My devicedetails:
Device: Galaxy S6 (China Dual Sim - Hong Kong)
Model: SM-G9200
Android version: 7.0
Build number: NRD90M.G9200ZHU2EQE1
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks

Just flash a custom recovery via Odin to root your phone after that is done boot into custom recovery and flash supersu.

[Completed] How do I root / update my Huawei Ascend G7-L01?

Hello there! I have been trying to find a working root / update for my model for quite a while now but I cannot
find anything that would work with my model... The numbers are always different from those that uploaders say
it works on. Can you help me root my phone and find a working update since there was no official update for my
country (Slovenia) for Lollipop. It can be a custom ROM too, I don' care as long as it will run faster than current version
which is preinstalled with a lot of crap and runs slow. Here are the details:
Model number: G7-L01
Android version: 4.4.4
EMUI version: 3.0
Baseband version: 11060009
Build number: G7-L01V100R001C00B263
Custom version: CUSTC432D001
Thank you for your time!

help me can i update my samsung s5 sm-g900h to 6.0.2 using the official firmware

hello there guys I'm asking about update my Samsung s5 sm-g900h I'm on KitKat
my AP :G900HXXU1ANG3
CP : G900HXXU1ANG3
CSC:900HOJV1ANG1
can i update to 6.0.1 marshmallow using this version G900HXXS1CQD1_G900HOJV1CQB1_EGY
or what version should i use
Base version : G900HXXU1ANG3
AND THANK YOU
Yes you can upgrade to 6.0.1
Most information can be found here, including official firmware.
As to what version should you use? For me, it comes down to what I want to use the phone for. I suggest trying different builds if you feel adventurous.

Any LineageOS v15 or AOKP 8.1 ROMs for 955U? (and other questions)

I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S8+ model SM-G955U (Snapdragon) on T-Mobile USA
- build number NRD90M.G955USQU1AQJ8
- service provider SW ver: SA0MC-SM-G955U_OYN_TMB_0187 98891 a315a30494859 TMB/TMB/TMB
- The phone is a USA version purchased directly from TMOUSA.
From the build number, I guess my bootloader is version 1, right?
What is the best method to flash TWRP recovery and then install a custom rom on my device?
There's a post here, but it mentions version 5 bootloaders. Will that method work for me? Is there a better method instead? I've been reading threads all day, but I'm more confused than when I started due to the different models of the S8+.
Is there a LineageOS v15 or AOKP 8.1 ROM for my device? I want a rooted ROM without GAPPS and I prefer a fully-featured ROM like AOKP. Any suggestions for me? (I want to move up from 7.1 and I prefer a stable ROM, so I thought Android 8.1 might be the best option.)
