Team Hovatek has been working on Project Muse which is aimed at bringing custom recoveries to as many Itel phones as possible.
We had already ported Clockworkmod recovery to some Itel phones then decided to extend the scope of this project to cover other Spreadtrum Android phones since there were quite a number of requests.
The Innjoo Halo happens to be a Spreadtrum based Android phone running on Android 5.1 (Lollipop) and since we’ve received numerous requests for a custom recovery for this phone, we decided to port TWRP V2.8.5.0 for Innjoo Halo users. This brief guide will explain how to root Innjoo Halo and flash TWRP to it.
See how to root Android if you wish to know more about rooting.
