Once you’re rooted, the next step is to install a custom recovery on your device. Fortunately, a custom recovery is available for the Wiko Rainbow that gets flashed with just a few taps in an app.
Once the recovery’s up and running, you’re all set to enjoy a number of custom ROMs on your device. Does that sound good to you? If so, here’s the procedure you need to follow:
