Redmi 2 is my first Xiaomi device and I am really satisfied with the spec and performance of the Redmi 2 for the price tag 6,999/- INR. Here I am posting the safest root method available in Xiaomi official forum for Redmi 2. This root method doesnt need any PC or Custom Recovery, just do it in your phone it self.

I have tested this root on the Redmi 2 Global version with MIUI version 6.4.4.0 (KHJMICB) and it worked without issue. In the Xiaomi forums Redmi 2 rooting thread you can find other variants of Redmi 2 root too.
