REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

  • You should always backup the data on your LeEco smartphones before you root the handset just in case you want to try talking a factory reset down the track. A factory reset, otherwise known as a hard reset, will wipe the data clean, so you are left without everything unless you have backed up first. You can always restore that backup later if you wish. Since you do not have a rooted Android just yet, you cannot make use of favorite apps from the Google Play Store such as the Titanium Backup app which is the best app out there for backing up. However, what you can do is boot the LeEco smartphone into the recovery partition so the custom recovery boots up and then choose the Backup option to take your NANDroid Backups.
