How to flash Custom Recovery on Redmi 1S without PC (using recovery).

1. Download the if you don’t have a pc link of whichever custom recovery you want to flash, from the downloads section above.
2. By default, the files that you download are stored in the Download folder on your phone’s internal storage. Transfer the zip file from there to the root of your internal storage and rename it to update.zip (if it isn’t already named so). Root of your internal storage means outside any folders.
3. Power off your Redmi 1S and once it shuts down, press and hold Volume Up + Power keys together, till your phone boots into Recovery mode.
4. Select the install update.zip to system option (or its equivalent) in the recovery and confirm your action.
5. When the flashing completes, select Reboot option.
6. Repeat step 3 once your phone reboots and you should boot into your just installed custom recovery.
