How To Root Xiaomi Redmi 1S ~ Play4Tech

Caution:

This is a safe process, but I am not responsible for anything bad that happens to your phone
After installing root with this approach the system will not be notified about new OTA updates any longer

Steps for rooting:

Download the file update.zip to your PC (because download via browser on phone often does not work properly)
Connect your Redmi 1S via USB
Copy the file update.zip to the folder ‘Computer\HM 1S\Internal storage’ (root of internal storage, meaning the top most folder)
Disconnect your Redmi 1S properly from USB (use ‘Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media’ from USB icon in Windows SysTray)
Boot into Mi-Recovery (for this launch the Updater app, press the menu/options button and from the menu choose ‘Reboot to recovery mode‘)
In the Mi-recovery select and confirm ‘English‘ (or Chinese if you are capable to understand)
Select and confirm ‘Install update.zip to System‘, this will take one second
Select and confirm ‘Reboot‘
After reboot go to Security -> Permission and activate Root permission
Enjoy your rooted Redmi 1S
