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.

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.

may i know your firmware version, i try to unlock via app but after reboot still same
WARNING: this tutorial is specifically for the Redmi Note 4 [ Qualcomm Snapdragon ] variant. Attempt to try it on other devices may brick your phone.
It is slightly technical but a really easy procedure. So carry on only if you have the skill, patience and confidence. I will not be held responsible for your mistakes, because I have tried this on my device and it works perfectly fine.
***NOTE : All links have been disabled since I am a new user. I'll update them as soon as i am over the restriction. thanks for understanding. (Just google the file you want to download, and they'll easily be available )
This takes barely half hour if you have the proper skill and an unlocked bootloader.
So, let's start.
So there are some steps to be followed over here. You need to complete all of the below steps. Links to the files required will be given below.
1. You need an unlocked bootloader.
2. You need the ADB and Fastboot device drivers installed on your PC
3. The ZIP files required for flashing.
So You will need the Mi Flash tool and MiUnlock tool during the bootloader unlock process. ( The MiFlash tool is available for download. but you can download the MiUnlock tool only if you get the permission to unlock your bootloader from Mi. To apply for a bootloader unlock go here : en.miui.com/unlock )
Once the permission is obtained, download the MiUnlock Tool from the same link, and follow the instructions to unlock bootloader.
The unlocked bootloader is mandatory.
You have to follow all the steps given below once, you have an unlocked bootloader.
Before you perform the below steps, make sure you download the adb and fastboot for your Computer. Download them here : ( *** ) [ONLY FOR DEVICES RUNNING WINDOWS ]
Download the TWRP recovery file for Redmi Note 4 from here : ( *** )
NOTE: You can use either SuperSU or Magisk for rooting your phone. I personally prefer Magisk.
Download the SuperSU ZIP file from here : ( *** )
OR
Download the Magisk ZIP file from here : ( *** )
Once all these files are downloaded,
1> Place the SuperSU file OR Magisk file (whichever you choose) inside your internal storage directory of your mobile device.
2> Place the TWRP recovery file in the folder where the adb drivers (Platform Tools folder) have been downloaded on your computer. Then rename it as "twrp".
3>turn off your device. then switch it on by pressing the volume down button and the power button together.
leave the keys once your device vibrates. This will enable the fastboot mode. (For beginners, It will display a green coloured rabbit on your device with fastboot written ) Connect it to the PC once the fastboot mode is enabled.
4> Come back to your Computer and Open the folder where the adb drivers and the twrp recovery file is copied.
Hold down the Shift key on the keyboard and then right click in the empty space of the folder window.
There will be a menu that pops up with some options. You have to click " Open Command Window Here "
This will open up the terminal/cmd on your computer. (NOTE: Steps given for a PC running the Windows OS only. )
5> In the terminal you have to type a few commands. Again make sure your device is properly connected to the computer and with fastboot mode enabled.
Note: Connect only 1 device running fastboot.
To verify connected devices enter command " fastboot devices " This will show available fastboot devices with a string of letters or numbers.
After verification of connected device,
First enter the command " fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
Then hit enter.
(twrp can change according to your twrp recovery file name, if you have renamed it as i said above, no wories, carry on)
6> The terminal will indicate completion of the command. once this is done, type in
"fastboot boot twrp.img"
7> You device will restart and the twrp recovery will pop up on your mobile. Now you can disconnect your device from the computer.
8> In the twrp recovery screen click on install, and select the supersu ZIP file OR magisk ZIP file which you had placed in your internal storage. Then swipe to confirm the flash. It will be indicated when the flash is completed.
Once it's done, click clear cache/dalvik and swipe to confirm.
And hit reboot.
Voila! You now have a rooted Redmi Note 4 with TWRP recovery installed.
[
If you install the magisk ZIP or SuperSU ZIP, under some rare circumstances the app might not have installed on the phone. So you might have to download the apk once the phone has started.
Grab the Magisk Manager APK file here ( *** )
Grab the SuperSU APK file here ( *** )
]
[NOTE :
All the steps are important to be followed exactly. Do not mess up the steps or you might brick your device.
Here unlocking the bootloader is key. Do not ignore my Bootloader unlock thread. Otherwise rooting isn't possible.
This thread is a bit long, sorry for that. But it's written in an easy way so it's better for the new users.
Hope this helps guys. Follow the thread accurately, and it'll work perfectly well on your device.
Cheers.
⚠Warning: This is not official TWRP, use it at your own risk!!!
Data will be erased. Back up if neccessary
This device is kind of weird so to flash twrp you need these things:
1. Prepare materials
Install driver so as to have access to preloader (Just install automatically and no need to do anything in device manager)
This software to access to preloader -> fastboot (fastboot is somehow not available via adb methods) Enter fastboot
This tool for flashing
2. Unlock bootloader (need testpoint, python, git (optional) - you can search on google)
Use this tool - go to this section. Follow guides to unlock bootloader (remember to use testpoint not hardware buttons)
3. Enter fastboot mode
Use latest MTK META Ultility tool
Select Reboot Fastboot Mode in BRom section
Hold volume down button. While holding connect it to your computer
*Now your phone is in fastboot mode4. Flash
Open platform-tools folder in Downloads folder
Shift + Right click then "open command window here"
Input these commands into cmd
fastboot flash boot drag twrp file to cmd
fastboot flash recovery drag twrp file to cmd.
fastboot reboot. Swipe to allow modification in twrp (to make sure that stockboot wont replace twrp). After that reboot to recovery to make it installed on your device permanently.
Now your recovery is ready to flash file you can push stock image file to your root folder using adb command: "adb push. Drag the stock image file. /" (Because Decryption right now doesnt work on my device yet)
Enjoy
*Sounds crazy but it is required to make sure twrp is installed correctly*If successful, when you power on, you will get a red section on top of your device. If you want to recover to stock recovery, flash the recovery.img below.*Also, if you want to make your own twrp, you can try recovery.img below.
Also thanks SebaUbuntu and Mofadal El-Tayeb (مُفَضَّل) for awesome apps
Here is the PBRB version for this device
