• Lollipop Users:-

This guide will root your device through Stock MI Recovery(Works with TWRP also), but this is not Native Root. A new app named SuperSU will be installed, which will give root Permission.

Note : – Rooting does not Void Warranty.

 

Caution:

This is a safe process, but I am not responsible for anything bad that happens to your phone.

In most cases this approach of rooting should not block OTA updates.

Steps to follow for rooting:

 

1. Download the Redmi2pLRoot.zip and Copy the file to the folder ‘Internal storage’ (root of internal storage)

(File at the end of thread)

 

2. Open the Updater app, Press the 3 dots at Right Top Corner,  A menu will open. Tap on “Choose Update Package“ and select the Root.zip File.

 

 

 

3. Wait until device will reboot.

 

4. After reboot a new app SuperSu will be installed.

 

 

5. Open the app and Choose”Continue”.

 

 

6. Choose “Normal”, Don’t Choose TWRP/CWM, device will go into Boot Loop.

Note:- Don’t Choose TWRP/CWM, it will brick your device.

 

 

7. After sucessful updation , press ok.

 

 

8. Your Phone has now Root Permission.

 

Open any app using Root permission and SuperSU will ask for Permission.

 

 

Enjoy your rooted Redmi 2.
