ARE YOU SEARCHING TO ROOT YOUR REDMI 2 ?





DISCLAIMER:
DO THIS ON YOUR OWN. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOU AND YOUR DEVICE.
PLEASE DONOT MIRROR THE LINKS





THE METHOD WILL WORK FLAWLESSLY ON WINDOWS-8 WHILE YOU MAY ENCOUNTER SOME ISSUES ON WINDOWS-7. 


STEP 1- FLASHING CWM ON YOUR PHONE

1.At first, you'll need the "adb" and "fastboot" tools. Get them HERE

2.Extract them into a folder, let's name it "Redmi2" (You can give your own name to the folder. That doesn't matter here.)

3.Now get the CWM .img file from HERE

4.Extract the "recovery.img" in the Redmi2 folder.
Now the folder will look like this-

5.Press and hold "shift" button and right click in the blank area of the folder and click on "open command promt window here". The command prompt will open.

6.Now turn off your Redmi2. Wait until it vibrates. After it's vibrated press and hold "Volume down and Power" keys together until it boots into "fastboot mode". Now connect the Redmi2 to your PC/Laptop through USB cable in fastboot mode itself. 

7.Get to the command prompt now.
Now type: " fastboot devices " (without these- " " )
Like this-

8.Once you enter that command, you will get a non-empty name for the device meaning the device is connected. Proceed to enter the next command

9.Now enter the next command: " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img "
Like this-

10. Now this ends... :P
Type the last command: " fastboot reboot "
Like this-

11.Now your phone will reboot with ClockWorkMod(CWM) installed. CHEERS... 


FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURE FOR TWRP (LINKS ARE AT START OF THE GUIDE)



STEP 2- ROOTING YOUR PHONE

1. Firstly get the SuperSU.zip from HERE

2. Now copy the downloaded zip to your sdcard (not in any folder just in sdcard)

3. Boot into CWM recovery by turning off the phone and pressing "Volume UP and Power" button together after the phone vibrates.

4. Once CWM main menu is displayed, select "Install from zip" and browse to the zip that you downloaded earlier and select it.

5. Install the zip. If you get any warning, ignore and proceed.

6. After the installation is complete, reboot your device. (I think you can do that)

7. VOILA..!!! YOU ROOTED YOUR REDMI2 









IF YOU HAVE ANY QUERIES, ASK ME BELOW...

Tips and tricks to get more out from Android L

Lollipop is Google's most powerful version of Android yet
Google may have taken the wrappers off Android M at Google I/O last month, but the next installment of its mobile operating system doesn't even have a name yet, and it's going to be several months before it starts appearing on devices. In the meantime, here are some of the most useful and powerful features in Android 5 Lollipop that you might not be aware of.

Enable on-body detection for smarter security

Since Lollipop arrived, some handsets have been given an extra feature called on-body detection – from Settings, tap Security then Smart Lock to see if your phone has it. What it does is keep your phone unlocked while you're carrying it (by monitoring the handset's movement), and the PIN or pattern code access requirement is only activated when you set it down.

Quiet notifications

Tap on either of the volume buttons on your Lollipop device and you'll find a shortcut to a Priority mode. When it's activated, all notifications show up as normal, but only apps you've marked as priority ones can make a noise (tap the cog icon to set this). You can enable the mode for a specific period, until the next alarm (if set), or indefinitely.

Check battery charge and drain times

Lollipop brings with it a host of new features for battery management, so make sure you're making the most of them. Choose Battery from the Settings menu and you can check how much longer you've got left before you need to find a wall outlet, see the apps using the most juice, and activate the battery saver utility. While charging, the lock screen tells you how much longer to a full charge.

Check your data usage

If you like to keep an eye on the amount of data you're getting through while not connected to Wi-Fi, Lollipop has a new feature to help. Pull down the notification panel from the top, then swipe down again to see your quick settings. Tap on the cellular data symbol to quickly see how much data you've used this month.

Use "OK Google" from anywhere

The "OK Google" voice shortcut can be handy when you need to run a search or do something quickly, and Lollipop lets you access it from anywhere on your phone if you want to. Launch the Google app, choose Settings from the app menu, and under the Voice heading you can set the "OK Google" detection to be always on.

Use guest mode for friends and family

Android Lollipop works a bit more like your laptop or desktop computer as far as user accounts go, and that means if you need to hand your phone over to a friend or relative you can switch on guest mode: It keeps all of your own apps and settings safe while they play around. Drag down the notification panel and tap on your avatar to find it.

Hide sensitive data from the lock screen

Lollipop's revised lock screen notifications make it easier to see what's happening without unlocking your phone – but that also means anyone else can see this information too. Under Sound & notification in Settings you can tap the When device is locked option to hide sensitive content, or use the App notifications link to configure it app by app.

Search for settings

Lollipop comes with a bunch of useful settings to take advantage of, but they're not always particularly easy to find. Handy then that Google's added a search feature: Drop into Settings and you'll see a magnifying glass icon you can use to search for specific options. You can search for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks by name too.

Pin apps

If you want to pass your phone over to someone else, but want to restrict them to one app or game, use screen pinning. You can switch it on from the Security menu in Settings, and the pin button is on the Overview screen (tap the square navigation icon to see it). Once pinned, you can't leave an app without entering your phone's PIN or pattern code.

Turn on the flashlight

Bad news, third-party flashlight app developers – there's one included in Lollipop by default. Pull down the notification pane, then swipe down again and you'll see it in the quick settings options (it's called either Flashlight or Torch depending on where in the world you are). You can then navigate in the dark using your phone.

Change every volume level

One new feature Google added in the Android 5.1 update was the ability to change the system volume and notification settings while music (or other audio) is playing. Tap the volume buttons and you can adjust the music volume as normal, but now you can tap on the bell icon to change the notification volume separately.

Play Google's Flappy Bird clone

And finally... if you haven't yet discovered the Flappy Bird clone Google hid in Lollipop, you might want to give it a whirl. Go to Settings, open the About phone (or About tablet) menu, and quickly tap four times on Android version. At the lollipop, tap quickly several times then press and hold to get to the game, which is just as difficult as the original.

MUST HAVE A UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
MUST HAVE CUSTOM RECOVERY

 Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.

 So, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity. -R_a_z_v_a_n
