Boot Custom Recovery on YU Yureka

We have already seen how fastboot on YU Yureka can be used to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery. With fastboot, you can actually one time boot a Custom Recovery essentially bringing back the Stock recovery, in Yureka's case, Cyanogen Mod Recovery.
This method can be used if you just want to root the phone and don't want to install a custom recovery. The same can be done in two ways.

Requirements

  1. Yureka with unlocked Bootloader. (Unlock here
  2. Windows PC.
  3. Recovery image for Yureka - CWM, TWRP, Philz (AIO Package)
  4. ADB & Fastboot Package.
  5. USB Cable.

METHOD I

This method is very much similar to the procedure to flash Custom Recovery on Yureka. 

Steps

  1. Extract ADB Package to a folder in C: Drive.
  2. To the same folder, copy the recovery.img from your desired Recovery folder present in the YU Yureka Recovery Package.
  3. On your Phone, go to Settings and in Developer Options, make sure Update CM recovery is UNticked.
  4. Shut down Yureka.
  5. Enter fastboot mode by holding Volume Up button while connecting Yureka to the PC via USB Cable.
  6. In the folder containing extracted ADB package, hold Shift and right click on an empty space.
  7. Click on Open Command Window here.
  8. Type fastboot -i 0x1ebf devices and press Enter to see if your device has been detected.
  9. Type fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot recovery.img and press Enter.
  10. After finishing, Yureka will reboot automatically into the Custom Recovery. 

METHOD II

This method also helps you safeguard your phone from any further changes happening to the Recovery, as this option updates Yureka with the CM recovery on Reboot.

Steps

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Choose Developer Options.
  3. Untick Update CM recovery.
So, this is how you boot into a custom recovery on YU Yureka. The stock recovery will return once you reboot.If you want to flash custom recovery on YU Yureka, click here.
