This tutorial shows how to restore YU Yureka to Stock ROM, CyanogenMod OS 11 after you have installed Custom ROM
Earlier we have written a tutorial on how to update YU Yureka to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop using unofficial version of CyanogenMod 12. As that was the unofficial release it might contain some bugs, so after installing it and experimenting with it for some time, if you want to revert back to stock ROM i.e., CyanogenMod 11, then this tutorial is for you. In this tutorial we will guide you on how to restore YU Yureka to Stock ROM.
As usual before you proceed make sure you have followed pre-requisites listed below, so as to reduce the chances of bricking your device.
Pre-Requisites:
- Backup all of your important data, as installing ROMs can wipe all of your data.
Backup and Restore SMS
Backup and Restore Contacts
Backup and Restore Call Logs
Backup files on Internal storage to PC
- Charge your device to at least 75%.
- Enable USB Debugging.
- Download and install the USB Drivers for Yureka. As there are no official drivers yet, it is good to install PdaNet application, which will install the USB drivers as well. Once the drivers are installed kill the PdaNet application from task manager.

If I’m not wrong you are trying to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat which is not possible and it is clearly mentioned by the YU itself in the software update notification, you can check the image here.
I got my Yureka with kitkat. Then I unlocked bootloader, flashed cwm recovery and rooted. Then I flashed crdroid ROM. I’m on crdroid ROM now. Can I use this procedure or will it brick my device?
No, this method will not brick your device, unless you are on the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop firmware which was rolled out by YU.
Bro can you please give a tutorial on how to flash stock rom on YU YUPHORIA…
If you are on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop then you cannot downgrade it to Android 4.4.4 KitKat firmware.

Hey Sunil, I’m sorry to say that you have bricked your device by downgrading it to KitKat from Lollipop. Actually YU has clearly mentioned in the update notification that downgrading is not possible. If you still have access to the Recovery Mode then try flashing the Stock Lollipop version back or else try some Custom ROM’s available at YU forums.
Let me know if you still have issues while downgrading from LP to KK. only thing can help is if you can still go into recovery mode. volume up+down+ power button, if you get into recovery then certainly you can restore the phone to either LP or KK or anything 🙂
