SuperSU VS CF-Auto - General Questions and Answers

I am new to rooting but if I understand it correctly. I can download the latest SuperSU file and install root on any device that has TWRP right?
While CF-Auto root doesnt require TWRP, you can install it straight from odin3.

5.0 and 9.0

On Android 5 device you can flash SuperSU, on Android 9 SuperSU is wrong choice.
Same is true for CF-Auto-Root.

I did and found some research, but I am kind of scared to brick anything. Ive rooted my tablet (5.1), I didnt care if it bricks it costed 50$, but the root worked. The problem is my personal phone, I dont want to brick it.

magisk is more up to date for root, I wouldn't bother with anything else.
if your phone can get a custom recovery fairly easily then root is even easier (depending on the phone and android version).
you can root without a custom recovery but it's more involved and not entirely newbie friendly.
if your phone model has a forum dedicated to it here, that's where you wanna be !!!

There are no less than 3 threads dedicated to rooting this device on Marshmallow that are tested and working... did all of them not work for you?
Yeah bro there is such kind of problem on rooting stock marshmallow ROM but I used kingroot v 4.8.2 for rooting if your bootloader is unlocked.

Never use a one-click root method on a Moto unlocked device... Seen way to many bricked devices, always root manually.
It is easy to find, there is a thread in my signature.

If you have current SuperSU and TWRP, and use the echo command to create /data/.supersu it will work, if it isn't please go to thread in my signature and provide details including:
1) Device model and Android version
2) TWRP version
3) SuperSU version
4) Output of 'cat /data/.supersu' from TWRP terminal
And a copy of recovery.log if possible, without more specific information there is nothing that I can do to assist you.

[Completed] What's the best way to install twrp recovery and supersu on Tmobile Galaxy On 5?

Is it possible to do it without a PC? or is that just wishful thinking???
What is "software configuration"?
How is Super su installed on device?

Greetings and welcome to xda. AFAIK there is no way to root the tmobile s5 without a pc but once rooted you could use an app like flashify from the playstore to install a custom recovery if you like. To root your device or install twrp for your device you need to connect your phone to the pc using a program called odin then install the SU or twrp. I know it can sound very daunting but it is a very simple process that only needs to be done once. My own preference is to install twrp then use that to install a prerooted rom
You can use this for root

There is already a guide to root with TWRP.
Would be great if you find way to root with exploit - without TWRP

That guide causes bootloop on F2FS.This method also works on f2fs file system.
I have a problem with this guide though. When I install Magisk through TWRP, when it flashes boot, it gets stuck, screen goes black for a while, then the phone vibrates and shows blue notification LED.... Really don't know what that's about

Is any of our (unfortunately only) few developers handling P2 working/trying to look for a method of rooting without unlocking bootloader?

Try Kingroot.
Do we need to unlock the bootloader and wait for 14 days to apply this root method ?
Please add it to this guide if so.
Thanks.
EDIT :
Your device needs to be unlocked by OEM.
Your device must have TWRP installed.
I didn't see it when I read the post for the first time. So we do have to wait 14 days before flashing TWRP.

I simply flashed superuser-r259_OneTeam.zip, install phh's SuperUser and got root without Magisk.
@EypCnn
Sorry for reply on a months-old thread but, has anyone firgured out how to root and install custom roms without unlocking Bootloader? I got a Chinese unit and not having a Chinese number is huge roadblock for me. :/
Is it necessary to flash both supersu and magisk for rooting device?? Will the device get rooted if i flash only Supersu?
There is not a lot of Updates released by Lenovo for this model, so if it breaks the OTA, just download from here

Without unlocking bootloader you cant do anything

Will this method work with the S244 Nougat build?
I have a P2c72 model hardware which I bought from China, but it came loaded with P2a42 firmware which updated itself to Nougat S244 via OTA updates. I'm not sure how to root it and I'm currently in the 14 waiting period to unlock the bootloader!

Search for Magisk patching the boot image.
There are at least two very detailed threads in the Pixel 3a forum that explain how to root without TWRP. Clearly you didn't look very hard before posting your question.
