With the arrival of Android L for Mi2 from Ivan, there must be some people who are still troubled with how to root the new Android 5.0.
And hereby, I would like to present to you the simplest tutorial on how to do it.

Above are the photos of the phone after rooted.

Note: I believe those who had succesfully flash their device to Android L should have sufficient knowledge on how to install any custom recovery or how to use USB Debugging so it will not be mention in this thread again. Otherwise you can search from the forum too.
