Got a shiny new Micromax YU Yureka smartphone? You’d be glad to know that rooting the phone, unlocking the bootloader and/or installing a custom kernel does not void your warranty. Interesting, isn’t it? So when all is in the favor, let’s learn how to unlock the bootloader of Yureka, root it and install CWM recovery. Do note that unlocking the bootloader is necessary before the Yureka can be rooted.
Unlocking the Bootloader of YU Yureka
Unlocking the bootloader provides you access to do all the nifty things with your phone. Follow the steps below to unlock the bootloader of Yureka.
- Download and install ADB and Device Drivers on your Windows PC.
- Download the root files for Yureka and extract them to a folder.
- Turn off your Yureka by holding the power button and choosing Power off.
- Press and hold the Volume Up key and connect your phone to the PC using a USB cable. Keep the Volume up key pressed till you reach the Fastboot Mode.
- On the PC, open the folder where you extracted the Yureka root files (downloaded in step 2).
- While holding the SHIFT key, right-click on a blank area inside the folder and choose Open command window here.
- Copy and paste the following command into the command window that opens:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock
- Unless the command shows an error, your bootloader is successfully unlocked.
Flashing CWM and Installing SuperSU to Root Yureka
After unlocking the bootloader, you need to follow the steps below to flash CWM Recovery which is a custom recovery with lots of additional options and then use it to install SuperSU which will provide us with root management.
- Turn on the phone.
- Connect to the PC again. Then download the latest SuperSU binaries and copy it to your device’s external or internal SD memory.
- Disconnect the USB and shut down Yureka for one last time.
- Press and hold the Volume Up key and then connect the USB cable to boot into fastboot mode.
- Open the folder where you extracted Yureka root files and open the command window (step 6 of bootloader process).
- Paste the following command in the command window and press Enter.
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery Yureka-Recovery.img
- Disconnect the USB cable and then press the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power Key together (till the phone vibrates) to boot into CWM recovery mode.
- Use the volume keys to select install zip option and press power key to select it.
- Select one of the following:
- choose zip from /sdcard – If you copied the SuperSU to internal SD; or
- choose zip from /storage/sdcard1 – If you copied SuperSU external SD card
- Browse to the SuperSU.zip file and press the power key to flash it.
- When done, choose reboot system now
If everything is done correctly, you’d have root access in your Yureka. You will find SuperSU in your app tray and you can also confirm root access by installing an app that requires root permission or else using the Root Checker app available in Play Store. If the Play Store or SuperSU itself offers an update to the app, you are free to update it to the latest version.

Thanks In Advance
when i m opening command centre and i paste the link then it shows waiting for device that time wat shud i do
Check that the drivers for the device are installed.
Time wasting method so big,
ROOT the Yureka Device using apps without pc in kitkat i did it.
And no data delete.
Faltu me time waste & internet waste kar diya.
Ghanta Super SU
When the post was written, that was the only method available. You’re free to use any method as you find fit, nobody forced you to do this.
waiting for device problm could be because of digital signature .. disable digital signature on your windows and install the drivers again.
Hope It Works for Some like me… 🙂

I am trying to unlock bootloader on my yu yureka but everytime I type the fastboot commamnd in CMD this message is flashing “waiting for device”
What could be the reason for this???
Provide me with a solution
Probably you need to install the drivers? Are they installed? Check Device Manager with phone connected.
I followed a video on Youtube about “fix waiting for device problem while unlocking bootloader” but it didn’t help. I need the drivers of micromax yureka. Could u give me a link to overcome the drivers problem??
They should all be included in the ADB package. Have you tried looking in the Device Manager to see if the phone is detected with a yellow exclamation mark?
yes, it show yellow exclamation mark
Then you need to install the drivers first. Try right clicking and choosing Update Driver if Windows Update finds out an appropriate driver for your phone. Else choose manually.
Yoy should update adb driver on Ur system and Ur problem will be solved
bhai pda net install kr laptop m ya apne pc m
you need to use complete “fastboot -i 0x1ebf devices” command, or for any fastboot command you need to add the vendor Id else its wont work… i wasted couple of days to figure that out too….
Well understood. Sometimes it really takes a while to figure out what we’re doing wrong hehe
