Q1] I'm facing White Screen during recovery!

> This is because you are on an older firmware version. You should download a firmware later than S7262XXUAND5.
Recommended firmware version: S7262XXUANF1
Remember. Flash only if u have white screen recovery problem. Otherwise you don't need to.
Steps to flash firmware:
1] Download the firmware
2] Extract the .zip file with Winrar
3] You will get a .tar.md5 file
4] Follow Steps 4 to 16 mentioned above. But you will flash the (firmware name).tar.md5 instead of recovery.tar.md5
5] After this, flash the recovery by the procedure mentioned above.
6] Your recovery should now work

Thank You, Worked Perfectly! ;) :good: :D

Everything i have done which you have mentioned but still recovery mode ain't open i think the problem is i should download old firmware
which you have shared earlier post then may be this one is work ... :confused::crying::crying:

I also have the same firmware and this method is working perfectly for me. I think I know what you are doing wrong, first you have to press the power button and then immediately press volume up + home button, when you see the S7262 logo, leave the power button but keep holding volume up + home button until you see the recovery. :good:

Verified Working

I have completed this root method and verified it works using the S7262XXUANJ1 stock ROM. Doing everything as stated, it works perfectly - no white screen, no soft brick or malfunctions. :highfive:

EDIT: After the final startup I had to update SuperSU via Google Play.
