While trying to root with flash tools (SP tools) didn't work. I see no green ring, it just runs for ever.
Please help senior members.
I also tried to boot in stock recovery mode and install superSU from a zip file but i got the message "Install aborted"

Hi,
Rooting micromax a110 With jelly bean is a little tedious than others because micromax has changed some mount point permissions.
See this is the process you need to do in order to root, install cwm recovery etc..
1. Downgrade it to ICS (Ice cream sandwich)
2. Install CWm / Root the android
3. Install Jelly Bean Rom.
For a more detailed process, check my blog
you can get the download links here in Xda or google it.
If you didnt ge tthe links, message me.

I followed the same thread earlier and tried with SP tools, but no luck, it gave me BROM error.
i also installed all the drivers mentioned, but no luck
then i did what i mentioned It worked for me. If other method didnt work, then ! they can go by this method for sure

If someone gets brom error then u can simply update the flash tools to latest version...
And u should ask in my thread if u get some error while following the procedure given by me.. .

Just flash stock JB with Updated SP tool v3.1312.0.139
or download CWM / TWRP recovery (I use CWM)
Then flash su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed and UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25
Until now More than 45 phone I root with no any issue
PS. need windows 7 32bit for smooth operation..
try this.. still have problem then tell me where you stuck..

[Q] Is root required for installing CWM

Can somebody please tell me is root required for installing CWM or by installing CWM on an unroot device you get to root your phone? Its very confusing, I read a lot of posts but they confuse me more and many of them have the same post copy pasted from the same source.

if your are on ICS rom then CMW not required to root but if you are on jelly bean rom then CMW is required to root, use SP flash tool to install CMW

Thanks buddy!!

custom recoveries are the base for rooting and installing custom roms. I am quite surprised by how you managed to root successfully without installing a custom recovery.
My kind advice dont do anything without proper knowledge.
U can find clockworkmod recovery on the playstore
u can find all ur answers here in the xda forums
so read well before u flash

no dude , I got the cwm rom manage from the play store.. the trouble comes when I try to set up "custom recovery".. the thing is , cwm doesn't support my device and it requires me to manually install a cwm based recovery.. which I don't know how to do.. so any instructions on how to do that (or some alternative to cwm ) would be really helpful
thanks

then try installing the latest version suggested by the rom mangaer.
You could also try the twrp recovery. These recoveries support the rom manager
hope i helped

[Q] (HELP) Micromax A110 stuck on Bootscreen- Rom-Canvas 5.1

Hi Guys,
Before you guys shoot me down, Just wanted to say, i searched XDA for 2 hours, couldn't find the exact reply. And a few topics are open since a year with no reply, So thinking that someone will reply to me. I am opening this "Need Help" Ticket.
I have a micromax a110 with 4.04 - as i got no update ever! So what i did was
Rooted the phone properly as per the procedure.
Downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.9 recovery [selinux] and flashed it with Recovery Link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/mic...opment/recovery-cwm-6-0-4-9-recovery-t2789175
Downloaded the [ROM][4.2.2] CanvaS5™ V1.1 Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775553
After flashing the rom properly, when i reboot the phone, it gets stuck on the boot screen forever. Am i doing something wrong? Should i have flashed a kernel? or something. Please note, i am not looking into going back to stock, as i have moved into the dark side of the root world .
Since i have just been a Read-only user of XDA for all this while(more than a year), with no posts ever, i cant request for help on the Developer Thread as it requires privileges. Requesting someone to please post this topic there so i can speak to the dev or please give me a answer to help me:silly:

That Recovery you flashed is SELinux enabled and is not supported by 4.1-4.2.2 Jelly bean Roms so you have got boot loop . You can try other recovery or flash higher android version roms .
---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------
I think this CWM recovery will work with your downloaded rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204785
And remember before flashing anything clear data,cache and dalvik-cache.
Happy Flashing

Thanks guys for the reply, let me flash the above CMW and check. Will revert shortly

How to i put the CMW in the phones root directory now for it to flash? The phone doesnt start so cant access it through usb. Any ideas?

Since your phone is not booting you should use SP Flash tool on PC to flash the recovery. Here's a guide to SP Flash tool:

Hope it works .

Thanks dude, for your quick response. I wont be able to confirm on this today as setting up SP Flash tool is just too hard. It talks about some scatter file. I dont know how to make that.Let me get a grip on that, will confirm then. Thanks for the help anyhow

Hey shreyas,
I have tried it with SP tools, it doesnt work, man. Drivers, Softwares, updated all of them, i keep doing everything. I know i am doing something wrong, but its hard to identify, spent like the entire night trying to make it. Can't i get a flashable zip for CMW instead or know that on which rom did the CWM selinux work on? This boot looping is now killing :fingers-crossed:

Finally, i found a way, thanks 4Shreyas for all the help. Gave me knowledge and helped me identify the errors.
I couldn't flash the rom or the cmw recvoery through the pc as the drivers for SP tools never worked on my Win 8.1 x64. Finally applied the stock jellybean file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160609 . It updated my CMW since that was the problem i was stuck in bootloop.
After that i flash the phone with my desired rom.
In the end, all good:laugh:

Cheers bro !!!! Yes getting MTK drivers in win 8 is a challenging task and as SELinux CWM recovery is concerned you can flash 4.3.x and 4.4.x roms . Google it , if any rom is available then use that recovery to flash those roms .
Enjoy !!

True that, i actually gave up trying to find the drivers. There arnt any 4.3 or 4.4.x roms released for mmx. When they do, will surely apply the Selinux CWM. Thanks for all the help .:good:
