don't use this,doesn't work !!! after update on nougat i want to root it with this method and phone stuck in bootloop with permanent blue led !
EDIT :

after long searching i have found solution for this case. i have found whole OTA nougat update and after download i have flashed boot image(only) and phone is started again.after that i try this solution for root and it works !

what i can see with new update is that battery life much better is !

I would like to ask is OneTeam (or anybody else) working on some root method that will not require TWRP/unlocking bootloader?

Unfortunately you can not be anything with the vote, you have to wait 14 days

A am not worried about the waiting period, I don't want to lose warranty.. with rooting only it is not certain, with unlocking bootloader it is certain that warranty is void...

The guarantee is not so important. Root and use it without problems. The solution for closing soon may also come.

I can confirm that the rooting method described above works well. I have successfully rooted the nougat rom on my P2
