This guide was originally based on the procedure for Mi3 from @Helgo9 but was adapted by me for Redmi 1S. It had been successfully tested on Redmi 1S WCDMA by @imranz with JHCCNBD23.0 and by @matthi with JHCCNBD24.0, furthermore by @adinovic on Redmi 1S CDMA with JHCCNBD23.0. 
For the latest stable ROM JHCMIBE29.0 I adapted the rooting approach and it got successfully tested by@rocco6 on Redmi 1S WCDMA. 
The unrooting approach was tested by @arendus on Redmi 1S WCDMA and he also provided the screenshots. 
Finally many thanks go to @sta-s2z for answering my beginner's questions when I started this for the first time.
