One of the many reasons why a user installs a custom recovery on his device is that he wants to try out a number of custom ROMs available in the market for his device. What these ROMs do is give your device a completely different look and performance tweaks that cannot usually be achieved by flashing individual custom files.
In most cases, you’ll need a custom recovery to install a custom ROM. If you have got the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+, you’re in luck as that device has been blessed with the most popular – CWM Recovery.
