This app is pretty easy and simple to use for beginners and can perform all the tasks related to gain rooting access on your phone negating the need of using a PC to gain root access. Moreover, one great feature of this app is that it has live chat support to help you throughout the rooting process. It has a pretty easy-to-use interface and is free of cost, but shows some ads as it requires an internet connection.
anyway, if you want to root your phone using a PC. You can follow our guide on how to install root using SuperSU zip.
Root any Android Phone without any App
You can make use of the apps mentioned above to root your phone or you can follow the steps mentioned below to gain root access on your phone without the need of the rooting apps. You can follow the steps for any recoveries but TWRP recovery is more preferable.
You need to firstly, download the SuperSU script from here.
Boot your phone into TWRP recovery (or any recovery).
Tap on the Install button.
Locate and tap on the SuperSu.zip file.
Swipe at the bottom to flash the file.
Once the flashing is done, you need to tap on the Wipe cache/Dalvik button and swipe to confirm.
If TWRP asks you to install SuperSu then choose Do Not Install.
A new SuperSu will be installed on your phone giving you root privileges.

Will Kingroot also root the Wileyfox swift 2 plus with android 7.1 installed? I would rather first root the phone and only afterwards install TWRP if I decide I need it.

Are you SERIOUS?! Who the (bleep) made these “apps”?!
Why not just install the app “ScrewYou” while we’re at it too?
… As if I have a hard enough time keeping Google out of my underwear, now you want me to let some UNKNOWN asshole in there too?! No!
