Android 7.0 Nougat is officially here. Google has released Nougat firmware images for its Nexus devices, as well as OTA updates for those who don’t want to do a clean install of Android. Many things have changed with Android 7.0, and those users who have a Nexus phone can enjoy all Nougat goodies at this moment.
Other phones that haven’t officially received the update, can install Android 7.0 Nougat custom ROMs based on AOSP. No matter what phone you have or what you are using to run Android 7.0 Nougat, you can now root it.
Chainfire has updated SuperSU to version 2.76, adding support for Android 7.0 Nougat smartphones. SuperSU is an easy and popular method of rooting an Android smartphone without a PC. All you need to have is a custom recovery and you are good to go.

So how’s it rooting without a PC then? Fair enough you can flash SU once you’ve put a custom recovery on your phone but could you please explain how you flash a custom recovery without a PC.
