Micromax’s sub-brand YU, launched its 3rd 4G budget smartphone YU Yunique for Rs. 4,999. After using it for around 3 days, I can easily say its the best one can get under this price range. Most of the users root their smartphone to install custom ROMs, mostly Cyanogenmod. But, YU phones come with Cyanogenmod preinstalled so installing custom ROMs won’t be the major reason for rooting your YU Yunique. But, except custom ROMs, there are lot more things to do after rooting your YU Yunique like Installing Xposed (Top 10 Xposed modules) or installing Apps which require root access.

Hi,
As you said i am facing with issues with adb drivers. I am advanced uset. Always do flashing roms for my nexus and oneplus one. This one is my secondary phone which is bugging me a lot to connect through usb debugging on.
Please let us know how you managed to connect it to pc.
This will help me alot. Thanks in advance
Hey,
1. Enable USB Debugging in your YU Yunique & Download ADB Installer.
2. Run the Installer while your device is connected. The installer should show your device with a Status message showing, whether driver is “Installed” or “Not Installed”.
3. If not, then install the drivers.
4. Now check if the tool shows your device.
5. If this doesn’t help you, Download this Minimal ADB Package [Size: 14MB].
6. Run the command.bat file & type “adb devices”. Check if it returns anything similar to this “device e$#413”. This shows if everything is properly installed.
Hope this helps you, Cheers!
