How to Root Micromax A110 Jelly bean.
Note : Before following the procedure, read the complete process carefully and understand it very well, if possible go to youtube and check for videos which tell how to root and how to flash recovery, get acquainted so that you may not mess up things.
Since micromax has removed some mount permissions, it is near to impossible to root with jelly bean installed on mmx phones. So we are going to follow the below procedure for rooting the MMX a110.
- Downgrade to ICS (Ice cream sandwich)
- Root and Install CWM Recovery
- Upgrade back to Jelly Bean
Step 1.
Download all necessary files that you will need during this procedure. Will share the links shortly
- PDAnet (For installing the ADB drivers on your windows machine)
- ICS rom for downgrading
- Recovery Image of Cwm recovery
- Jelly bean Rom
- Batch file by Bin4ry for rooting
- Su binaries (Just in case)
Developers have put much so much efforts to develop these images and roms, take time to thank them go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/
Step 2.
Downgrading to Ice cream Sandwich
- Connect your phone to computer and transfer the files to external sdcard.
- Power off the phone.
- Press both volume button and power button at the same time. Soon you will see the two choice to go to either recovery mode or factory mode.
- Volume up will be used for scrolling up and down.
- Follow the instructions and go to the recovery mode (This is stock recovery)
- Inside recovery mode the button (softkey) left to the home key will be used for selecting an option.
- Select “Install from sdcard” , move to the file and select the file (….ICS.zip)
- After installation, select “wipe data /factory reset”
- Then select “reboot system now”
Phone will now restart and since it is starting for the first time it will take some time, It may happen that it starts in Dutch language, if it happens, just go to settings, choose the language and change it to English.
Step 3.
Rooting the phone with the help of script created by Bin4ry
- Make sure you have necessary files.
- Install pda net on your computer it will install the ADB drivers, Do not keep the phone connected when you are installing pda net, while installing it will ask you to connect the phone.
- After you have installed the pda net software, go to settings -> developer options and check “USB debugging”. Also connect your phone as “media device” you will get this option in notification bar (just click where it says connected as usb storage)
- After you have done this. Just run “runme.bat” choose option 4
- Follow the instructions, your phone may reboot during this process.
- After the successful root your phone will have an app installed automatically (superSu)
- If it happens. Your phone is successfully rooted.
Step 4
Upgrading the Rom to Jelly Bean
- Flashing the recovery to CWM recovery so that we can install the new rom using the recovery mode
- Install mobile Uncle Toolkit using google play store.
- Allow if it asks for the root access.
- In mobile uncle app go to the update recovery option, it will scan the sdcard and show the recovery.img that you have placed in external sdcard
- Select that option click Ok, and allow, It will ask to reboot in recovery mode click Yes.
- This recovery mode will look similar to the last one, the only change is – power button will be used for selecting an option
- Choose the option install from sdcard and choose external sdcard and then install jelly bean Rom.zip.
- After installing, “wipe data” , “wipe cache” and go to advanced and “wipe dalvik cache” go back to recovery mode menu and choose “reboot system now”
- Once it reboots, you are now using the jelly bean stock and Rooted as well. Congrats !
Warning: Rooting your phone may hamper your software / hardware warranty, so do that on your own risk. I am not responsible if you did this carelessly and brick the phone. Happy rooting.
