How to Root LeEco Smartphone.
Root LeEco Phone , LeEco formerly known as LeTV is a Chinese company which is well known to other countries through its android smartphones. LeEco also impressed many users with its great features at relatively low price. Although the company is presently selling its devices only in three countries (China, India and USA), it has gained immense popularity because of the pricing. LeEco devices are relatively cheaper than other devices which provide similar features or harbor similar hardware.
Rooting your LeEco device will enable its users to uninstall the bloatware which is immensely popular on LeEco devices. These devices come with many pre-loaded apps which cannot be uninstalled by the user. Rooting will give the option to uninstall these apps as well as install Custom ROM’s on your device. As the device is limited to few countries the rooting support is either poor or limited.
Before rooting your device make sure you do a complete backup of your device. Rooting may void the warranty of your device. Please proceed at your own risk.

Before proceeding with this method make sure ‘unknown sources’ is enabled on your device security settings. Enabling this feature will allow you to install the rooting app which is not available on Google Play Store.
There are many one click root apps with which you can root your LeEco phone. KingRoot is one such famous app. Download and install KingRoot app on your phone. Open the app and click on ‘start root’.
