Hi, I want to root my YU Yureka plus on andoid (YU5510). I’ve googled a lot, But failed to find any tread about my phone. All threads I found are about Yureka Plus on Cyanogen. Can you please help me to root my device and install custom recovery on it?
Alpesh
Hello Amit, Yureka Plus runs on Cyanogen OS which is a Custom OS based on Android. From Settings > About Phone you can checkout both the Cyanogen OS version and Android version of your device. Once you have confirmed you can follow the instructions listed here to Root Yureka Plus.

Thanks for your reply Alpesh. The android version my phone having is KitKat 4.4.4, and I herd that Yureka plus on cyanogen has lollipop 5.1. My phone’s model number is also different. Its YU5510A , not YU5510 (which i’ve mistakenly wrote in my previous comment). While having these differences, does the rooting method remains same for both phones. Please make me clear.
Waiting for your reply…
Alpesh
The Rooting method for both the models should be different as they run on different OS versions. So I would recommend you to open a thread at YU Forums and wait for the developers to guide you with the same.
Alpesh
I found this thread which might help you.

Boot your device into Recovery Mode and wipe cache, If this doesn’t work then wipe data also – Keep in mind that wiping data will reset your device to Factory Settings.
