first, the situation...
My teens all have unlocked T-mobile G6 h872... And teens are what they are, want new phones... "they're old...." "they're slow...." and so and so. As a dad, I'm trying to teach the opposite and try to keep my phone longer, not to fall in the consummation process phone makers want us to . I say it is a pretty dawn good phone. Just need a little update....

Then...
I've rooted phone in the past, my tablet is rooted but when I came here to check for the H872 (20G), I've only found mixed opinions and complicated way. The most common I think is the pull the plug Russian roulette that I am not willing to try. After hours of reading I am still not 100% sure of what to do. F*** , this is much more complicated than my phone or my tablet. Where can I find a simple not so risky "how to" to install them a new version of android (t-mobile s****) and save them a year or more. Can you suggest something 9 or 10 (rom) stable and solid. I don't want then to come and say, see it not working again or this and that..... They don't need to be rooted but as I know yet,I think you have no choice

Conclusion...
I don't understand the need to get the last version bomb phone just to send sms, watching videos and taking pictures of the cat.... Maybe I am too old to understand that..... but it is what it is... can you help?
