Need Custom Recovery For lava A97

not every phone is rootable. unfortunately your phone is one of them.

for anything root related always head on over to xda. this is the closet thing that has some tid bits of info about rooting your phone. it really does not lead to anything, but there a few posts that can put you in the right direction. but you will need to know how to use adb, fastboot, and some coding to go further.

here is the thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/hot-to-root-lava-a97-t3584124

but really why do you want to root? there is no development for your phone. there is no custom recovery which is the one selling point in order for me to root a phone. a custom recovery can make backups of your phone called nandroid backups. these backups are essential especially if you plan on deleting things off your phone. if you delete the wrong thing, your phone can become a paperweight. but if you have a custom recovery and made a nandroid backup, you can just restore back and all is good.

so no development means that a developer has not made a custom recovery or even custom roms. and just remember no devs=no fun.

next time pick a phone that has a good development community before buying it, if you plan on rooting the phone.
