Rooting and unlocking bootloader may void your warranty. Although it is properly tested on the device, if this guide cause any damage or data loss to your device then, I will not responsible for that. Always backup your data first to avoid any issues.
Hello everyone,
By this guide you can root and unlock bootloader of recently launched device in India i.e; Hyve Buzz (BU01). I will tell you how we can install TWRP recovery and by using it we can easily root the device. There are 2 methods for installing TWRP recovery, both are explained below. You can follow any method according to your need. These are not just one click solutions so, I am assuming that you have some prior knowledge of rooting and unlocking. If you don't know anything about this then, it's better to try after reading some threads at XDA explaining about rooting and unlocking. I will add un-rooting/restoring process in the next thread.
