Rooting

If you want to start tweaking your phone, you are always required to root it first, rooting is the first step of making unofficial changes for your RIO. To get started with rooting, first, you need to fully understand what rooting is and what are its advantage and disadvantage.

Flashing custom recovery

Flashing a custom recovery is somehow important cause it allows you to fully backup your phone. If you are satisfied to just only using root-required android applications, you don't need to do this. Otherwise, if you are into modifying and applying more tweaks for your RIO, those mods stuffs are mostly requiring you to install it via flashing from a custom recovery.

If you don't know what is a Custom Recovery, then, read this article about Custom Recoveries (don't follow the guide there cause it won't work for you).

Now if you are prepared to install a custom recovery for your RIO, follow this guide:
