Hello,
Am I right in assuming that there is no way to Root the P7 with the latest firmware/software installed?
I've got HiSuite and drivers etc, installed. Then I've tried Rootgenius 1.9.6, Towelroot and Vroot. Non will root the P7. Keep getting message 'This device is not supported'
Do I have any other options?
Many Thanks.

Try Latest Version of RootGenius and Instead of HiSuite Mode Try MTP Mode With Debugging Mode Enabled
Glad you're wrong. And latest Rootgenius is not going to work.

Hi,
My phone's current build number is 12.0.A.2.254
I've downloaded 12.1.A.1.205 but 30 s after restarting and installing it says "Could not install" and then I have to download it again and repeats.
How do I fix this?

Are you rooted and/or have xposed installed? And you're talking about OTA right?

Oh my phone is rooted and have SuperSU? OTA means through my phone right? If so yea it's not via my pc.
On SuperSU there is a "Full Unroot" option which says "Cleanup for permanent unroot"
Will the update work after it's unrooted and will I loose all my setting and app data if I do this?

If you don't know what root is, you don't have it
If you have xposed installed, Uninstall the bridge, then your OTA may work. Use supersu survival mode, not root cleanup

My phone is on 4.1.2 though, can I use the ones listed under 4.3?
If you want 4.3 use 4.3 Rom
For 4.1.2 Use 4.1.2 Rom
Flashtool dont care what version you want to use
I was upgrading mine from 4.1.2 to 4.3 using flashtool and Stock 4.3 ftf and i have Locked Bootloader so if this metod would be faulty i would end with brick instead of phone
P.S This will make CLEAN install of 4.3 You wil LOSE ALL your data, apps and stuff on System and Data Partition (Build in 5,3Gb Partition).

Just download and install towelroot.
Click on the 'Make it rain' button, then install SuperSU from playstore.

At first you cant see any change. Check root by an app like rootchecker.
My stock room version is 12.1.A.1.205
I used an app called Root checker Basic.
the result is: sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device
I have shut down the device from the button at the back then used tr.apk., It is rooted now
Sorry for any disturbance

Welcome
I used towelroot but it is saying "this phone isnt currently available "
I have searched the internet for hours now for a tutorial on a root for n900a OC2. Hoping someone on here could provide me with a tutorial or set me in the right direction. I have tried everything I can and I know if you keep trying random **** its going to end up bricking my phone. Thanks.

Only way I know is to Odin back to NC2 and root it [Q] Rooting AT&T Note 3 Lollipop http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/help/rooting-att-note-3-lollipop-t3201986. These files will wipe your phone clean.

Same thing. It just tells me something about KNOX, then I try to remove it and it says "Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again. Same thing happens when I say not to remove it. About ready to just give up on rooting and go back to 5.0

When you phone boots up, does it show a unlocked padlock? When you put towelroot on it and click to "make it rain" does it say "You should now have root, no reboot required" or " This phone isn't currently supported"? Uninstall Supersu restart phone and install Supersu again. It shouldn't be giving you any problem as this is the only baseband that can be rooted.

It does show an unlocked padlock. It does say "You should now have root, no reboot required". Uninstalling SuperSU rebooting and installing again did not work.

Can you go into Supersu? If you can then go into Supersu settings and do Full unroot and reboot and try towelroot again.
Kingo root https://www.kingoapp.com/ Just click to root again. (mine say N9005 because mine has a custom rom on it).

I think that it is not compatible with your current android version.

Now that many 5C models have the emui 5.0/nougat update, has anyone tried rooting it yet? Also is it still the case that Xposed is still not available for nougat??
yeah theres no android N xposed even abdroid 8 is coming already... i dont see point on rooting without xposed since theres no root adblock apps.
I like to install sound mods and I use lucky patcher to remove ads and get in-app stuff, freedom app as well. They all need root. Just downloaded open kirin twrp for emui 5.0. It's been deleted from xda posts but seek and ye shall find. I also have the revolution recovery twrp for nougat but although it worked for emui 5 beta, apparently it doesn't with the proper release. I downloaded superuser for emui 5.0/nougat so now I'm going to do various backups and give rooting a go.
usually there comes bug fix OTA in few weeks after android version updte, i wait till device is discontinued updates and root thn

Okay, so I was just about to root but then I see your post but can u explain in more detail please why it's better to wait for final ota. And do you know for sure if/when there will be more OTA bug fixes??

waiting for official ota is good to be sure that region is correct so youre able to make calls and text, but NEM-L21 has only one region so it doesnt matter if you use official OTA or use proxy method.
Okay so I have successfully rooted my phone by flashing super user zip file through twrp! Damn shame Xposed framework is not available for nougat though but at least I can install sound mods and can use lucky patcher to get rid of ads in apps and use freedom to get free inapp stuff. Also I use root essentials and L speed app. Beggars can't be choosers :angel:

Have you or anyone else had any problems installing busy box? I tried installing busy box pro(sterricson app) and it would not install. I tried all 4 paths to install to but it failed every time. So I installed busy box pro(jrummy app) and after running a script in the app to mount read/write I was able to install successfully. Just to make sure I install to su/bin, su/xbin, system/bin and system/xbin. I ran a root/busy box checker app.and it says both installed correctly...

Be careful though, I and some other user noticed that restoring backups from this TWRP will result in a phone with no sound at all. I don't know if this is fixable, factory reset don't put it back to normal.
Other than that, this TWRP seemed, but I can say for sure. In any case, DO NOT RESTORE BACKUPS from this TWRP.
