What is Recovery?
Recovery is a limited boot mode, independent of your normal Android operating system. In the stock recovery, you can install OTA update packages, wipe data, and wipe the cache partition. The feature set available depends on the specific recovery installed. In general, stock recoveries (which come pre-installed on your device) are the most limited. They typically only allow manufacturer updates to be performed and remain mostly invisible to the end user. Simple recovery, used by the CyanogenMod Installer, is another limited recovery meant to perform only basic tasks, like updates and wipes. Custom recoveries, described below, offer a much larger suite of tools. The most important of these is the ability to make a full device backup which can later be restored if Android misbehaves in an unrecoverable fashion.
Preparations:
Step 2: Rename it to cmrecovery.img and copy it inside the ADB or Fastboot folder or the folder where fastboot.exe or adb.exe is located.
Step 3: Open the ADB or Fastboot folder and press and hold the shift key and right click inside the folder at the empty space and choose Open Command Window Here.
Step 4: Boot YU Yunique into Fastboot Mode.
That’s it now you have CM Recovery installed on YU Yunique.
