The new Micromax Yu Yureka ships with pre-installed CyanogenMod (like OnePlus One had its launch).

Though you have the CyanogenMod pre-installed, you might still want to experience few other good custom ROM’s on your Yu Yureka. If you belong to the same group, then this article is for you. You get a vivid view on How to Unlock Bootloader, Install Custom Recovery and root Yu Yureka.

Why Should You Install Custom Recovery?

If you do not know what a custom recovery is, do not worry. We’ll explain it in short.

  • Every mobile ships with Stock Recovery which is responsible for few functionalities in the device like: Restoring the device to Factory default settings, Updating its OS and other diagnostic tasks.
  • Since you’re trying to change the pre-installed OS, you’ll have to install Custom Recovery.
  • Without a Custom Recovery installed, you cannot root Yu Yureka or any other device as well.

Before entering into the details, make sure you are aware of these points.
