How to root Lenovo K10E70 (guide with photos)
A few days back one of my friends handed over me a Lenovo K10E70 which is a Chinese phone with lots of bloatware pre-installed on it. and there is no proper guide available for rooting this phone. But after 2 days of search found a thread on XDA, which explained how to root it, but still, guide was unclear. So here in this post, I will guide you step by step with the help of photos.
Instructions:
- Download required files from This LINK
- Install minimal ADB and fastboot from THIS LINK (Important)
- Copy “boot.img” and “twrp_recovery.img” to the same directory where minimal ADB and fastboot installed (C:/program files/Minimal ADB and fastboot/)
