An update is out for YU Yureka that promises to fix the glaring issues on Lollipop update like, overheating, proximity sensor (screen off when in-call even at distance), jerks and lags, etc. We really hope it fixes out all things. The Yureka buyers are literally too much upset with the Lollipop update that took away more than it brought.

This is the OTA update we’ve got here, that’s flashable directly in recovery. We’ve got the full guide below that covers booting into recovery mode and then flashing the update, so just follow the guide below in order.f all. Double click the .exe file of drivers to begin installation. (Not required if you have already done this.)
