How to Update YU Yureka to Android 5.0 Lollipop (CM12)

YU Yureka is finally receiving the OFFICIAL update to Cyanogen 12 which packs Android 5.0 (Lollipop). The update is presently rolling out to Yureka users in a phased manner and will hopefully fix a few (if not all) of the bugs and issues. Other than that, the Cyanogen 12 update brings CyanogenMail, Exchange support, multiple account integration, App themer and many other goodies over the stock Android 5.0. Here’s how you can update and enjoy Android Lollipop on your Yureka smartphone.

OTA Update via Phone Settings (Available to many)

The easiest method to update Yureka to CM 12 (Lollipop) will be to make use of the OTA updates which will be delivered to Yureka phones in the next 3 days. While many users have already received, other users will receive a notification when an update is available, but they can check manually by going to Settings> About> System Update.

Manually Update via Recovery (Available, No Root Needed)

Couldn’t wait for the OTA update to be pushed to your Yureka or don’t have a fast data connection? You can simply download the update zip file and flash it manually by heading to the recovery. This does not need root access and will not void your warranty either. Updating via recovery is generally as safe as the OTA updates, but it is still recommended that you backup your important data before proceeding.

  1. Download CM 12 (Lollipop) zip (named: cm-12.0-YNG1TAS0W0-tomato-signed.zip) from HERE (646MB).
  2. Copy or move it to the /download folder in Phone Memory.
  3. Turn off your phone.
  4. Boot into recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Up + Volume Down + Power Button simultaneously.cyanogen recovery
  5. Wipe the cache and then select Apply Update > Choose from internal storage > 0/ > Download and select the CM 12 zip (cm-12.0-YNG1TAS0W0-tomato-signed.zip).
  6. When the flashing finishes, select Reboot system now and wait for the phone to restart and boot up to the new OS.

  • I bought yureka plus, but it is on stock android. Can you tell me, how can i update it to cm12?? Plese, i love cm…

  • Sir I’m on the XNPH08P version of cm11…it was an unofficial ota by XDA..I flashed it..n now I have not got the update…is it due to this reason?? Will I get it?? And is it safe for my device to manually update it?? Cz I think its for XNPH05Q version…won’t I get my device bricked.?? Plzz help

    • You surely need to manually update it as the unofficial one might not ping the same server to check for the updates. I’m not really sure, but it should go fine if you do the manual update. Still, as a precaution, backup any important data and keep the stock ROM and flashing tools with you in case something goes wrong.

  • Hi guys, with this new version i am facing a lot of problems mainly, whenever i have to make a call or receive a call the screen blacks out.Due to which i can’t swipe the green or the red button and therefore cannot receive any calls guys pls help me.

  • Hi, after upgrading to cm12, theme ringtones are not replacing the system ringtone. What cud be the issue. Any idea?

  • Thanks Narender.. The reviews were helpful and I have decided to not update it. Also, though most of the ppl are saying it heats even more..I found a few saying that it heats less now..Any thoughts on that ? and why do the developers remove such update full of bugs even after the Nexus issue

  • OTG Problem resolved…

    In ES File explorer Pen drive is showing with OTG cable.

    Please Try with ES File explorer.

  • hi

    i have download and install it . after that i cant view cs 12 or lollipop 5. still its showing cs 11 and kitkat. whats the problem guys. just waist of time and internet.

  • I have been downloaded the updates at my computer then trying to move on my phone memory(as per giving instruction) but one error message shows” Cannot Copy Item the device has stooped working or has been disconnected” suggest me what to do. Another thing is my phone showing update available and the size is 677mb but my downloaded zip file update is 583mb which is on my computer. Why the size difference.

  • my themes are.not working now and when i recoeve a call it just show a pop up not a full screen review and while calling alo its tooo slow

  • The bakwaas update ever…. Phone pura slow pad gaya hai, kuch bhi dhang se work nahi kar raha. Yaar sach mein paise barbad gaye, pata nahi kya soch ke bana rahe hain, ye update

  • I had downloaded this thinking it will be real nice.. No wonder its good on theme n all.. But I cannot answer any call as there is just ringtone n the display is blank.. Sensor also doesnot work… Plus stupid battery life .. When can we expect an update ? Frustrated

    • Please check THIS for the Blank Screen. As about battery, it won’t improve, however you can still try checking out what is consuming the battery and probably turn off some features to get a little more backup.

  • hi I downloaded the updates of lollypop cm 12. it shows install now. when clicked it rebooted and started showing YU mark .
    now it’s been 2 hours but no response….what should I do ? pls help anyone

    • Something went wrong. Try if clearing the cache (via Recovery) solves it. Else try manually flashing CM12. If that fails as well, you’ll be needed to flash the full stock ROM.

  • Hi Narendra,

    i tried in the same time which you mentioned, still no one is picking my call and the call cost is almost 3RS for 70 seconds.

    • That’s sad, but I cannot comment much. Only a rare few have been lucky to connect with a real representative. While I understand that you’re being charged without any solution, you need to keep trying.

  • Is the update better than previous version please tell me I should update or not….kitkat version is working good on my phone but only one problem that is heating

  • hey narendra..found most of solution awsomee…any procedure to fix battery consumption…and to increase sound…please rply

    • For sound, some people say that disabling AudioFX has improved the results, but they weren’t considerable. Battery consumption is something which I hated about the device and decided to sell it for the same reason. Depends all on your usage, but do check the Battery Usage chart to see if there’s some specific app consuming most of the battery.

  • My phone heating like hell after updating to lolipop earlier in kitkat it ws not exceeding 50°¢ after heavy gaming…. But now the common temperature is around. 65-70 °¢.. ….cant hold the phone in sunlight. I dont know y it heats so much……guys can any1 come up with a solution

  • Hi All,

    My mobile was completely black, even after i press the power button for long time also. i am not able to see anything in my mobile, i spoke to amazon customer care they told only 10 days return policy,(only 12 completed after buying this shit mobile, while i was talk to the customer care) and they said we will give you YU support provider number. i spoke to them they it is proximity sensor problem, we will send you the lollipop update to your device and then the problem will get resolved. i don’t know how it will be resolved, because i am not able to see any thing in my device, because it is completely black. please any one help me what i have to do in this.

    we have to seriously complaint about amazon, its bloody shit!! e-commerce site, now i keep on trying to the YU support provider, no one is responding to me. the YU support provider number, which i got from amazon is 18602122122.

    we have to strongly complaint about Amazon First and then Micromax for giving this kind of shit mobiles into market.

    please reply me back any one get resolved from this kind of problem.

    • Try contacting on that number in the early morning hours 10:30-11:00 and hopefully somebody will pick up.

  • everything is good in my mobile ……..bt battery ll take 12 to 13 hour to charge …..sir pls solve my problem

  • Even basic things like attending call doesn’t work after upgrade. It goes black screen. And the battery also gets drained so fast.
    So, better don’t go for this upgrade.
    I had an error like “Unknown error occurred on Google play music”. After relogin into google account and re-installing Google play music, this issue got resolved.

  • i have updated to lolipop cm 12 after up date i am facing problem is sms not working.i went to macromax service center they are telling that yu is not micromax service is not available.any one pl.help me how to enable sms

    • Causes of this issue.

      This issue is sometimes caused due to screen guard or the tempered glass but in some cases it occurs due to software issue and requires re-calibration.

      Now coming to solution:
      To eliminate this issue we have introduced an engineering code in the latest lollipop build which can be manually triggered and the end user can re-calibrate the Proximity sensor.

      [IMPORTANT: THIS IS FOR LATEST 64 BIT LOLLIPOP BUILD]

      Steps to manually calibrate proximity sensor:

      1. Go to Dialpad.
      2. Dial *#*#7769#*#*
      3. A proximity sensor calibration window will pop up.
      4. Press “Start”
      5. The sensor will be automatically calibrated, a message will appear “ Calibration Good”
      6. Press Exit to close window.

  • Hello Friends,

    I also updated my mobile to new CM12 after updating the software i’m also encountered with same problems like Black screen, Heating problem and Google music app like this But after some fightback with the software i think now my mobile is working fine. Not in every aspect but it is little better then before.
    Here is list of solutions might work for you…
    1) Black screen Issue – You can notice the brightness control bar in Quick launch Icon list Set it to centre of the of scroll bar(50%). And Goto —> Settings —-> Display & light Tab—-> Turn on Adaptive Brightness And i hope it will solve the issue.

    2) For other issues Just reboot your mobile a few times.
    3) For battery issue Goto —-> Settings —-> Battery —-> Change the mode to from Balance to Power save. And restart the device.
    4) Update all applications.
    Lets try these steps. And I hope Cynogen Will release the Update within this Month…. 🙂

  • this is just an realy bad phone plz dont buy it guyz it sucks the worst phone i have ever seen i lost my money these people are cheating on us we need to go complaint at consumer court for cheating us like giving a worst phone like this which have bug issue and screen turns over black when got a call i cant attend a call

    • Causes of this issue.

      This issue is sometimes caused due to screen guard or the tempered glass but in some cases it occurs due to software issue and requires re-calibration.

      Now coming to solution:
      To eliminate this issue we have introduced an engineering code in the latest lollipop build which can be manually triggered and the end user can re-calibrate the Proximity sensor.

      [IMPORTANT: THIS IS FOR LATEST 64 BIT LOLLIPOP BUILD]

      Steps to manually calibrate proximity sensor:

      1. Go to Dialpad.
      2. Dial *#*#7769#*#*
      3. A proximity sensor calibration window will pop up.
      4. Press “Start”
      5. The sensor will be automatically calibrated, a message will appear “ Calibration Good”
      6. Press Exit to close window.

  • I got an automatic update sometime before and was not sure as to update to 5.0 or not since I have heard a lot of problems like bugs report and heating issues also… I think that I should wait for 5.1 lollipop cyanogen 12 update
    Why there is lot of problems in the latest version of android the company should fix the bugs and other issues

  • I had downloaded this thinking it will be real nice.. No wonder its good on theme n all.. But I cannot answer any call as there is just ringtone n the display is blank.. Sensor also doesnot work… Plus stupid battery life .. When can we expect an update ? Frustrated

    • You weren’t supposed to do Factory Reset for OTA. In fact you never need to do Factory Reset for any type of update.

  • i also have a same proximity problem after cm12 …

    but have solutuion here,,

    dial *#*#7769*#*# then select start and it will work properly..

    • NO. Your data will remain, but still for an exceptional case, do backup important data before proceeding.

  • I am not getting the personalization options in settings I want to personalise the battery icon and battery percentage show but unable to find

  • After update to Android 5.0.2 incoming and outgoing call makes screen blank and cannot receive incoming call and screen goes blank while outgoing call

  • My phone is getting slow and in a calling keypad only 1,4,7 and * are only displaying.
    Is any conclusion for that..

  • My device is in KITKAT. Still it is showing your system is up to date. Last night update was there. I have started update download last night and went to bed. Today morning no notification is there and my device is having kitkat only. Now I an trying to update via wifi, it is showing”no updates were available for your system”

  • I got the official update today for lollypop, I updated my phone but when I check my software of the phone it still shows kitkat.wats the problem??is is not updated or needs to do it manually??

    • If a restart shows that still and you don’t see the Android 5.0 related changes, your phone isn’t updated yet. Consider doing manually.

  • proximity sensor issue since purchase of phone and also customer care no is fake….always error in no….. no one knows how to fix proximity sensor issue……

    • You’ve tried this:

      If you are facing blank screen on calling a number on Yureka / one plus one Cyanogen Mod 12 or 11 os then dial the code *#*#7769#*#* ; you will see a proximity calibration screen, press start and wait untill the values are populated, press exit. Try calling a number again, your problem should be resolved by now.

  • why I didn’t get update ?

    its shows ur phone have letest update

    and if I try manual
    its erase my art phone data or its stay safe ???

    • It is being pushed in a phased manner so not everyone will receive it at the same time.
      If you do manual, it won’t delete your data or apps, but still DO backup any seriously important data that you have in your phone memory.

    • There will be mild heating and this happens with all the phones. You might want to lower down the CPU frequency and it will generate lesser heat, but performance will slightly suffer tho.

  • I m facing problem with my yu phone

    After upgrading to the latest Version of the YU Yureka to Android 5.0 Lollipop (CM12), My Phone is Running very Slow any help Regarding this….

    • Please restart it a few times and let it scale the resources properly for optimal performance. If you still face the sluggish response, consider doing a hard reset.

    • Won’t generally cause any issues, but it is just advised to wipe the cache to delete the existing temporary files.
