  • But how to Boot into Default Mi-Recovery by starting the Updater app..? Plz reply.... i am going to root redmi 1s, it is my first

    • reinsert battery and then press Vol Up+ Vol Down + Power button at the same time to boot into recovery mode.

  • Is there any risk of doing rooting....as i am doing it first time.... if yes, plz mention some precautions during doing so... Thanks in Advance...:)

  • Two Questions:
    1. Does the device need to be rooted first for this?.
    2. How do we go back to default Mi-Recovery (original) one, later. I installed this and now recovery mode from Updater leads to this mode instead of original (chiness+english) version.

    • you can flash stock recovery .zip with your current recovery same as you flashed this one.
      and you dont require root for installing recovery and this device comes pre-rooted.
