But today we are not discussing about the update, we are giving a procedure to root your Yureka CM 12 in simple steps.
Rooting of Yureka is done using the Fast bootloader concept where in you can even flash Custom ClockWorkMod recovery along with the rooting.
Users wanted to root their device because of high consumption on battery after update and to overcome some ROM drawbacks which includes Gapps crashing.
