Note : This tutorial is for YU Yureka based on CM11 (KK 4.4.4) 32bit architecture
and
do it on your own risk, I will not be responsible if you brick your phone
Here is the detailed guide and collection of stock and all custom recoveries for YU Yureka and detailed guide to Root YU Yureka without changing Stock Recovery
Requirements
1. YU Yureka (obviously) with USB Data cable
2. PC / Laptop (Having Windows installed at least Windows 7 or above)
3. Drivers (Windows Automatically detect and install the required drivers)
4. ADB & Fastboot binary package that can be downloaded from XDA 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.2']http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
5. Custom Recovery (Anyone in which you are interested CWM, PhiZ, TWRP)
6. Latest SuperSU.zip file to root your phone
Warning: This process may delete all data stored in internal storage so better backup all the files stored in internal storage.
Step One
Enable USB Debugging on your device you can just follow these steps:
Go to Settings> About phone and keep taping on build number at least 7 times or till it appears "You are a developer now",
Now again go to settings>developer option (only after the previous step it will be enabled)> check/select USB debugging.
Step Two
Unlock your bootloader to flash custom recovery and root.
Here is the process
1. Download the adb & fastboot binary package and install it.
2. Put your phone into FASTBOOT mode by following anyone from below methods :
Method 1 (easiest)
-------------------
a. Power down phone
b. Plug USB cable to your PC
c. Press and hold Vol Up button and plug other end of USB to your device, soon you will see the fastboot screen.
(or without plugging USB Cable, Press and Hold Power and Vol Up buttons simultaneously, until you see the screen
"FASTBOOT MODE"
Method 2
---------
a. While your phone is Power On, plug USB Data Cable with PC and Phone (USB Debuging must be Enable)
b. Open Command Prompt on your PC (with Administartor rights) and type the following command
adb -s 0x1ebf devices
You will get results something like that :
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
3a289c2 device
*Note : If you get "authorization message" then look on your mobile screen and authorize your PC and run the command again.
c. Now note down the device no. (for e.g. in above "3a289c2") and type the following command
adb -s 3a289c2 reboot bootloader
[*Note replace the device id with your id (here 3a289c2), that you got in last command]
Now your phone must be booted into fastboot mode. A screen with "Fastboot Mode" should be appear on your phone.
3. Device drivers will get installed by windows (please wait for the driver installation to complete)
4. After driver installation is done go to the folder where you have extracted the package
5. Now open elevated DOS command prompt (terminal) on your PC and go into the same folder where you saved the recovery file
(*Note : to start command prompt directly from desired folder, while holding the Shift Key Right Click on folder and select start "open command window here")
6. Type the following command to check if the device was detected in fastboot mode
fastboot -i 0x1ebf devices
you should get output like : 2a25d00 fastboot
if you don't get similar output it means that the drivers weren't correctly installed or the device wasn't connected properly
7. If the output is similar to above then run the following command:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock
you should get output something like :
.....
OKAY [ 0.003s]
finished. total time: 0.004s
8. Now your bootloader is now unlocked.
*Note : if you want to re-lock your bootloader again (for warranty on any other reason), again boot into fastboot mode and this time type the following command and enter
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem lock
Step Three
Boot your phone into recovery (temporarily or permanently) and root your phone
1. Download SuperSU.zip and put it on root of your internal or external SD card
2. To load custom recovery (CWM / TWRP / PhiZ) temporarily, now type this command in terminal :
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot CWM_6.0.5.1_recovery-yu.img
*Note 1 : if you want to flash the custom recovery permanently then us the following command
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash CWM_6.0.5.1_recovery-yu.img
*Note 2 : if your download custom recovery is named differently (here CWM_6.0.5.1_recovery-yu.img) then while writing the above commands you need to put the name of the recovery same as as your saved file name (anyone CWM / Phiz / TWRP)
3. Done ! You loaded custom recovery temporarily, if command used with "boot" hence to root your phone, proceed to next section (step 5).
or
If you flashed recovery permanently, using command with "flash" then boot your phone into recovery. To do so, you have Two options
i) type the following command and press enter : adb -s 3a289c2 reboot recovery
or
ii) power off your phone, after then press and hold "Vol up+ Vol down + Power" buttons simultaneously to boot into custom recovery.
Now to root your phone proceed with next section (step 5).
Root your phone
5. To gain root access, flash SuperSu.zip that is stored on your internal or external SD card (in step 1)
6. Choose reboot phone and enjoy rooted phone with stock or custom recovery !
Special Note 1
I didn't tested, but came to know that root doesn't effect OTA update on Yureka.
You can get OTA updates with root but after the OTA update is flashed you will loose root access. To keep it or to avoid this please go to System Settings -> Developer Options -> UNTICK -"Update CM Recovery" (update recovery while installing system updates)
Even though if someone want to go back to Stock recovery, then download the official stock recovery (link no. 6 above) and flash it using command in fastboot mode (second command in step 2 under head "STEP THREE")

Few errors noted:
1. You can't say flashing recovery when you are booting it.
2. In step 3 point 3 is not valid because when your command is to boot it will automatically boot into recovery you need not use combination keys.
3. Last point vender id is wrong !!!
Few suggestions:
1. It feels like you have not tested this by yourself
2. There is already a guide for "rooting without flashing recovery". Search before posting.

Dear aaskking
Thanks to inform. Here is the corrections
1 & 2 - Tutorial updated with "boot" and "flash" commands separately.
3 + Vendor ID is correct nothing wrong in it.
4 - I already tested all those procedures and commands. I never post anything without testing.
5 - Yes, I also seen that available guide, but that is not so much detailed and also required files links are not provided.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestions.

EDIT : You can get OTA updates with root..
After the update is flashed you will loose root access ..
To keep it or to avoid this please write the following step
STEP) In Developer Option UNTICK -"Update CM Recovery".
That's it.. Cheers mate wonderful thread.. @aabidhashmi @aashking

Great mate cheers just checked and tried that ota updates are available and work.. On stock recovery... Locked bootloader and with root..
Achieved this by downgrading to the very first cm11 firmware and got then rooted it and locked the bootloader then I just booted it and got the incremental update .. Downloaded and flashed .. Works perfectly.. Root not lost due to the untick in dev options..
Thanks again Arjun Singh, for confirming OTA updates are working.
I am already on Stock ROM & recovery {rooted} and tried the same procedure {locked the bootloader}, but no updates for me.
Is updates are really there, or something wrong with me ?

I am simply unable to get the device listed in command prompt after fastboot mode is enabled. my phone has option to boot into fastboot mode in power options. i tried that option, i tried using command to boot into fastboot. But somehow, when phone is in fastboot mode, it does not get detected by fastboot application (even though windows installs drivers successfully).
I have tried 3 different laptops. All had same problem. No idea how to solve this.

Ahahahaah... I know just the way... Do not reboot via adb ...
Switch off your phone remove your battery and put it back in do not turn it on.. But connect your USB cable and at the same time hold the power up or maybe down button .. Voila your in fastboot which will get detected .. Don't forget to use the vendor id.

I tried this method but phone does not get detected in fastboot mode at all. I have drivers installed for all different modes I connect my phone as. No luck at all.
Also, weird thing is, I have an option to directly go to fastboot mode from the power menu.
Jitendra Garg
Your driver's are not installed
As there is no special drivers setup, so connect your PC with Internet then plug your phone and let Windows install drivers automatically.

Attempted to root phone use ADB and fastboot.
during process noticed difficulty in getting recovery mode open manually and had to use adb reboot recovery, whereupon android recovery picture was there but no menu options.
Could not install TWRP conventionally thus attempted the method shown here.
"NSTALL TWRP
Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed.
I always put TWRP.img in the ADB folder - so if I want to boot into TWRP with out installing it this is what I do:
make sure you open a command prompt in the ADB folder "VERY IMPORTANT" and type:
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
fastboot boot TWRP.img <whatever your TWRP image is called in your ADB folder><enter> dont forget the .img at the end
That will re-start your phone straight into TWRP - You can transfer files to and from your computer while in recovery.
If you want to install TWRP permanently, copy your TWRP image to your mobile "while you are in TWRP RECOVERY mode" then press install, then select images, then select recovery NOT BOOT, then swipe to flash. This method does not install TWRP app on your phone, all you need is a reboot app from the play store that will re-boot you into recovery. "
Flashed both twrp image and super-su within the TWRP booted from pc through adb (as shown in the previously mentioned method).
Upon reboot phone has hung at LG symbol. LED is flashing. ADB recognises device as connected however won't respond to reboot requests.
How do i fix this?

Hi guys,
I've been using WugFresh's root toolkit to root the pixel which has worked fine thus far. Recently I upgraded OTA to Nougat 7.1.2 (N2G47O). Now I've lost root and can't seem to get it back. Attempting to root the device through the toolkit no longer works as the file dependancy hasn't updated properly - "No-Force Encrypt" needs to be downloaded/updated. The link doesn't work however. I'm suspecting that WugFresh hasn't updated to the latest file to match N2G47O.
I don't understand this properly and information online seems limited. Can anyone advise on how to get this thing rooted again? With or without the toolkit will be fine.
Thanks in advance.
Just fastboot flash TWRP then install Magisk in TWRP. Poof... root.
To elaborate on this: download the latest latest "Recovery Flashable.zip" from http://www.supersu.com/download and copy it to the Download folder of your tablet.
In NRT under "Options > Custom recovery" select "Utilize Open Recovery by Team Win Recovery", then use Advanced Utilities to either
- "Fastboot Flash > Recovery" to flash TWRP, then "Quick Tools > Reboot recovery" to start TWRP
or
- "Fastboot Boot > Custom recovery" to start TWRP only once / non-permanent.
In TWRP allow write access to /system, then "Install" SuperSU.ZIP from your Download folder and reboot.
Thanks for your help guys. There seems to be another problem now though. I've followed the steps above and attempted to install TWRP recovery using the tools on the NRT. During the process TWRP asked me for the key to decrypt system data. I don't have one as far as I'm aware. Only my regular system pin. I tried that but it isn't accepting it. I had to accept TWRP leaving the system unmodified. Now I cannot boot into the system at all, only into the TWRP recovery! Why is it encrypted? I never set up encryption...
You seem to have somehow messed up your /system image. To restore it without losing your data, follow these steps:
- find the folder where your ADB.EXE is installed. Typically that would be C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\Nexus Root Toolkit\data
- we will call that the ADB folder
- download a Pixel C N2G47W factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/images
- there will be a "bootloader-dragon-google_smaug.7900.50.0.img" and a "image-ryu-n2g47w.zip" inside the downloaded ZIP file. Copy these to your ADB folder.
- start TWRP. Press Cancel when asked for encryption key. If asked for write access to /system: allow it
- select Wipe, then Advanced Wipe. Select "Dalvik / ART Cache" and "Cache", then Swipe to Wipe
- In TWRP select Reboot, then Bootloader. If asked to install TWRP: Do Not Install. Should end up with "Waiting for fastboot command".
- alternatively: start your tablet manually into fastboot mode: Power off, then hold the volume down button, after 2 seconds shortly press the power button and hold it until a menu appears
- select "Switch to fastboot mode" with the volume buttons, start it with the power button. "Waiting for fastboot command".
- when in fastboot mode: start an administrative command prompt, CD to your ADB folder
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-dragon-google_smaug.7900.50.0.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
- wait until it says "Waiting for fastboot command" again
Code:
fastboot update image-ryu-n2g47w.zip
- after several flash actions (be patient!) the Pixel C will boot into Android. It may take a while and a second boot can occur.
To install SuperSU you can't use the Download folder of the tablet because /data is encrypted (sorry, my bad).
If you can use a USB stick with OTG, then:
- copy the "Recovery Flashable.zip" from http://www.supersu.com/download to the USB stick
- use NRT to start TWRP without flashing it (Advanced Utilities, Fastboot Boot, Custom Recovery)
- press Cancel when asked for encryption key. If asked for write access to /system: allow it.
- attach the USB stick
- Install, Select Storage, USB OTG, OK
- select SuperSU.ZIP from USB stick and reboot.
If you cannot attach a USB stick:
- copy SuperSU.ZIP to your ADB folder
- start TWRP as described above
- Advanced, ADB Sideload
Code:
adb sideload SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip
- Reboot
This worked a treat. Now rooted and running 7.1.2! Thank you for taking the time to help out. +1
After failing some 1-click rooting methods, for the first time I tried to do it the hard way.
That turned out to be a pretty easy way thanks to some handy links to drivers and other files I found.
Infinity thanks to the thread I found platform-tools from and the website called "getdroidtips" for the Custom TWRP for the HS2.
NOTE: THIS GUIDE WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE SO BE PREPARED
Standard warning: FOLLOW THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK. REMEMBER, AS PER MY NAME I AM A TOTAL NUB. I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PHONE MALFUNCTIONING, BRICKING, BLOWING UP OR DROWNING IN COOKING OIL (rip my Elephone S7)
Pastebin code for missing links: F2RGqM1A
1) Preparation
Download the latest Flashable.Zip from [ ]
Place SuperSu.zip in your sd card or internal storage
Enable Developer Options by going to Settings -> "About Phone" -> Click "Software Version" 7-8 times
Go to developer Options in Settings
Enable OEM Unlocking
Enable USB Debugging
Shutdown your phone by holding the power button
Boot into fastboot by holding the Volume Up key + Power Button
Press Volume Down key to get into fastboot
2) On your Windows PC:
Download the file from [ ] and extract the platform-tools folder (I extract to "D:\Downloads" in this example)
Download the Custom TWRP from [ ] and place it inside the platform-tools folder
Connect your device to your computer
press Win+R, type cmd and press enter
2.1) (not always needed)
If your device won't connect or the steps below don't work, try updating drivers:
Connect your phone while it's in fastboot
open start menu, search and open Device Manager
check inside Portable Devices or Android Devices for your phone's name
or look for Android Bootloader Interface
if it's not there, it might be named something else, with an icon that has a yellow triangle inside it.
Right click it, Update Driver
> Browse my computer for driver software
> Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
> select Android Bootloader Interface
to check if you are connected, type "fastboot devices" in cmd and you'll see a device code
3) Unlocking Bootloader
In cmd, enter the following commands:
Code:
D:
cd D:\Downloads\platform-tools
fastboot oem unlock-go
THIS STEP WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE DATA
wait for restart
4) Booting into TWRP
Go to device Settings again and ensure OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging are still Enabled. Reboot into fastboot.
In cmd:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-20171128-UNOFFICIAL-HS2.img
(In case above cmd line doesn't work, type "fastboot boot twrp" and press Tab)
5) Backing up your rom and data (Optional but recommended)
Inside TWRP, Click Backup, tick everything, select desired directory and swipe to backup.
Reboot and follow step 5 again if needed
6) Installing SuperSU with root privileges
Inside TWRP, Click Install and select SuperSU.zip
Swipe to install and reboot
Enjoy

Did you try "flashboot boot twrp..." like in my guide or "flashboot flash twrp..."?
And which twrp image did you use?
In any case, if you can still get to the fastboot screen, try booting with the twrp image in Step 4 above (download links in the pastebin link)

Hi, "flashboot boot twrp" wasnt working at all, so i tried "flashboot flash twrp" and all i have is a bootloop. So after flashing recoveru i booted my phone to fastboot and run the command, " flashboot boot recovery recovery.img" where recovery is the custom recovery image and it booted into recovery. Then there is one more step to do that allowed me to finally boot into my os. Its working fine and i still have twrp installed on my phone

Finally managed to get phone connected. The MI Unlock Tool files should be placed directly in C:\ otherwise phone will show as disconnected.
Now have to wait for 344 hours and try again
