Unlocking Bootloader and Installing Custom Recovery

 

Step 1: Plug in your Le 2 to your Windows computer open command prompt from the Le2 Rooting folder by righ-clicking on the folder and holding the Shift key. At the same time, you might get an RSA security warning on your Android when you connect it to the computer with USB debugging. Allow all access here so that you are able to execute ADB commands from the command prompt.

Step 2: In the command prompt, type in the following commands to check if the ADB is able to communicate with the device and then to reboot the phone in Bootloader mode.

adb devices

 adb reboot bootloader

You will see a similar result in your command prompt too.


Step 3: Having done that, it’s time to unlock the Bootloader. Execute the following commands one after another. Please note that this step will erase everything on your device.

fastboot oem unlock

 fastboot oem unlock-go

Step 4: Now to install the custom recovery, type and execute the following command and hit enter.

Note: We will have to also delete user data to bypass the device encryption. To do that, execute the command:

 fastboot format userdata

Having done all that, please do not reboot the phone or you will have to  clear the user data once more. Instead, press and hold the Power+Volume Up button to open up TWRP recovery.

 

 

 

Part 2: Rooting the Le 2

Step 1: When the TWRP recovery loads up, it’s highly likely that it loads in the Chinese language. So to change it to English, tap on the buttons shown in the screenshots that follow, choose English and save the settings.

 


Step 2: Once you understand the language, navigate back to the home screen and tap on Mount to mount the internal storage. On your computer, copy the super user file to internal memory that you extracted to the Le2 Root folder.


                                               


Step 3: Take a Nandroid backup of the stock ROM and make a backup of it on your computer so that you have a unmodified ROM if you ever need it.


Step 4: Now unplug the phone from the computer and select Install ZIP in TWRP. Select the SuperSU Zip file and wait for the process to complete.





Now it’s time to reboot your phone and it might take some time for the first boot. You will have to configure everything again and restore the backup to get going. You will see the SU icon and you can install root checker to be sure.
