Owners of the Chinese VKWorld VK700 Pro device can now root and install a custom recovery on the device. Root access means you now have full Android access with the operating system unlocked.

That’s most useful for installing apps, but it does come with additional benefits depending on your device. The same guide installs CWM recovery on your device, so you can boot your device into that custom recovery and start flashing new custom ROMs or taking NANDroid backups.
