What is the best method to upgrade Android on rooted phone? - General Questions and Answers

My Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2 (G611F) had Android 7.1.1 when I rooted it a few years ago and I have never upgraded it to a newer version for fear of losing root. It has TWRP and SuperSu installed and I confirmed I still have root. What is the best method to upgrade without losing my data? I have Odin on a Windows laptop and I have adb and fastboot on my Unbuntu desktop. I also downloaded Magisk apk and Firmware SM-G611F — Samsung Galaxy On7 Prime. Thanks

Kingroot now supports rooting lollipop 5.1.1

Kingroot is one of the most powerful rooting apps. It can root almost any Android device with a success rate of 97% and it's a life saver for not so popular Samsung galaxy grand max.
Earlier it was not working on lollipop 5.1.1. So some tried to root with CF-Autoroot but its rooting is unstable. But now it's back. Now you can successfully root your grand max 5.1.1 with this new Kingroot app.
Here's the link to download it

Thank You.
alas the 2015 dual 4g sim Samsung Galaxy J7 SM-J700F with only 1.5 gig ram and with the bootloader opened in the setting etc does not root at all, i suspect the files the kingroot is trying to push to the phone is making it run out of ram ,even with nothing new installed . |o(

Need help to root no-brand Android 7.0 tablet

For a couple of years I've used an old Android 4.2.2 tablet for one purpose only: tether wifi Internet connection to my router. Recently it fell and the screen broke.
I've purchased a cheap 7" tablet (IRULU x67) to replace the broken one, for the same function. It runs Android 7.0 and I could not find any TWRP or CWM custom recovery for this no-brand name device. All guides I found for rooting Marshmallow and Nougat devices require the use of custom recovery and Magisk. Pushing su and busybox to /system/bin, like in older Androids, doesn't work.
Can anybody point me to any working method to root this Android 7.0 tablet? I need this very badly and it MUST be rooted!

Rooted stock ROM

Hi,
Is it safe to root a S7 and stay on the stock ROM ? As Samsung doesn't publish regularly the updates (still on 7.0 ...), I heard that their phones are vulnerable to malwares. Is it easy to avoid it when rooted ? Or should I install a custom ROM to use my rooted S7 properly ?

Rooting and updating Verizon SCH-i915

Is this the right forum for getting info on rooting and updating Android OS for a Verizon SCH-i915 Tab 2? I rooted my SCH-i915 with King Root, but Super SU keep reporting "Binary Occupied". I did a factory recovery to remove the root and would like to reroot and possibly find a newer Android OS than 4.1.2. What should I use to root the SCH-i915 that will solve the Super SU "Binary Occupied" problem? I could not find an OS update for the SCH-i915 on the XDA site. Is there another device OS that I could update the SCH-i915 to, I don't care about the 4g LTE as I only want to use the SCH-i915 as a WFI device? Thanks for any help.
