Update to nougat & root?

[lopezgreat]

Hi all,
i just bought a new mediapad M3 from hong kong (wifi version) and it comes with android 6.0
i plan to update it to nougat and root it

so now i have a few silly questions
1. should i upgrade to nougat before root? or the other way round?
2. to upgrade to nougat where should i find the ROM? must use firmware finder?
3. (really silly question coz it is my first time using android) how to root? unlock bootloader -> install TWRP (where can i find the latest update?) -> supersu or magisk or other app?

Sorry for these really silly questions
and thanks a lot in advance

If it's wifi version, assuming you're still on EMUI 4, you should unlock your bootloader first. Remember to save the unlock code as you'll need it again. Then adb flash TWRP for EMUI 4. Use TWRP to update to EMUI 5. If you need root, you need to unlock bootloader again using the same code. Then adb flash TWRP for EMUI 5. Once you have TWRP, just flash Magisk via TWRP and you're good to go.

Let me know if you need more details

Personally, I unlocked bootloader, updated to Nougat (via Firmware Finder by using their VPN & doing the update through settings) then rooted. After all that I finalize turned on 5ghz.
