If unit is running OS5 you can root it with kingroot, as for GP you should not attempt to install it before rbox releases a recovery first.

im on os5.0.5 (537174420) so this is ok for kingroot?

suggest you read all posts you find on subject . Yes you can root, then block updates but DON'T do anything else until advised otherwise.
I know a very little compared to most on here but know when to WAIT.
