Unlocking the bootloader provides you access to do all the nifty things with your phone. Follow the steps below to unlock the bootloader of Yureka.

Unlocking the bootloader DELETES ALL DATA from your device (including apps, contacts, messages; etc). So do backup anything important before proceeding.

1. Download and install ADB and Device Drivers on your Windows PC.
2. Download the root files for Yureka and extract them to a folder.
3. Turn off your Yureka by holding the power button and choosing Power off.
4. Press and hold the Volume Up key and connect your phone to the PC using a USB cable. Keep the Volume up key pressed till you reach the Fastboot Mode.
5. On the PC, open the folder where you extracted the Yureka root files (downloaded in step 2).
6. While holding the SHIFT key, right-click on a blank area inside the folder and choose Open command window here.
   

Copy and paste the following command into the command window that opens:

fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock

Unless the command shows an error, your bootloader is successfully unlocked.
