BEFORE WE BEGIN

• You should backup the LeEco smartphone before installing a custom recovery. Those of you who have just unlocked the bootloader now have likely backed up already because unlocking the bootloader always wipes the data, so the device is just the way it was after you first opened it pout of the box. For everyone else who has some additional data that is not yet backed up now is the time to do it. Installing TWRp does not wipe the data like when we unlock the bootloader but backing up should always be done anyhow.
