New to This - How to Root? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I haven't had an android since 2013 since the HTC one.
I'm looking for a permanent way to root, plus install recovery.
I'm used to the fastboot method. I've seen a lot of rather ''easy'' methods, but in my experience they're not permanent or reliable root, and make no mention about recoveries.
What do I need to root, install recovery, and update say firmware and baseband? Rogers s6 edge.
Please and thank you.

Bump

Anyone? I mean obviously somebody is rooted here and saw this msg

That thread shows how to install a new kernel on the device, which is great. But does that mean it is also unlocked (besides rooted)?
Thanks

Nope, there used to be an app to unlock it, downloaded it from google play store, but I think you can only find it here at xda developers now.
I think you need to Odin the i777 firmware to it before you can use the app to unlock.

Can I get stock Marshmallow on Moto E UK?

As title really, can't really find a definitive answer.
It was a UK Tesco handset but unlocked to all, and still running the standard Moto stock firmware.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can unlock bootloader, install TWRP and install 6.0 stock rom without rooting.
