Trying to root honor 7 - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
I am having issues getting root access on my phone.
The story:
I have just bought a brand new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV s-edition. This car have an app to be used with Android or iPhone, but the car only got wifi (with horrible range) without internet capabilities. So I did some investigating, I thought I could have a phone in my car, connected to my cars wifi, and then just remote connect to that phone with an app like teamviewer.
I tested this out with my nephews honor 7 and I was able to make it work. Now, I thought to buy a phone with biggest battery, and fell on a Lenovo P2.
However, I tried everything, but nothing would work (setting "mobil data always active" in developer options did nothing. So I asked my nephew if he wanted to switch phones. He was super-happy to do so...
But now I am totally unable to do what I did earlier: connect to my car with my iPhone through the honor 7. So I am now trying to root the phone to be able to use full advantage of the application : Super download.
So, I have come to the place where I have installed a new bootloader: twrp.
But I am unable to get root access. I have tried several options installed through the bootloader, but nothing seems to work.
Who would think that being able to connect to two networks at the same time in 2017 should me so difficult with a phone?
It's either on the wifi(intranet) or the mobile 3g/4g, but never both... Oh noo

, that's impossible... Yes to send people to the moon in 1969 is fine, but to connect the phone on two networks at same time in 2017 is impossible? Who could know...
But yeah, if I could get root access on my phone u could try the app Super Download and try to connect to both intranet(wifi) and internet(mobile-data) at the same time.
Any help, or will this app not work, event with root?

There is no error message. The phone seems to do its thing, but when it is finished and booted up again, there is no root.
