Re: Micromax A110: All Things Root Thread

I had this issue initially and figured out my Android ADB drivers were not installed.

Varun bro! Great work!!
Just what for I've been on ICS!!

I'll try yours and start trying to repack mine & make it work with your repacker!!:thumbup:

Good, now we have more testers for Kernel.

@Varun is on leave for his exams and @Suhas has done some testing which might help in a fester results.

Appreciate your efforts in building a Kernel :victory:

Hi all I already did that in stock v1 rom... for all guys I had done some testing and got succeeded... procedure is simple if you are on stock v1 rom and u need 1.4 gb for apps don't worry we can do it by simple methods
1.just root your v1 rom install titanium backup and do backup all your apps place in external SD
2.now via cwm take nandriod backup keep this in external SD card
3.now flash your phone with stock v2 rom via s.p flash tool
4.root your v2 rom and install cwm .now go to recovery.via cwm.now clear data and cache and in advance option clear dalvik cache and "do not clear data partition" ($important step$). go to backup and restore and select restore option go to d file directory(place in the root of external SD card) where u have placed .click restore that's it ....you have done
5.after booting install titanium backup and copy your backup files to titanium backup folder in SD card (internal/external) in my case internal .now restart your phone
6.after restarting u can restore all your files via titanium backup
7.hurray now u have v1 rom vividness and v2 rom storage in stock v1 rom
8.importantly u never have to go to v2 rom to flash new roms because u already have data partition like v2 rom.u can directly flash via cwm from v1 rom.
Note: I have done this in my own mobile which I have succeeded and do at your own risk

LOL why dont you just simply paste DSp_BL & uboot_s9080.bin File from V1 and replace these files in V2 Stock and Flash it
and for Apps backup you can take Titanium backup

RAM is hardware specific and it cannot be altered....By using Custom Kernel we can use RAM more efficiently by organizing RAM usage for various apps...or tasks running I in background...:)

    If you want to flash something to your mtk device using odin, Here is a nice guide to help you out. Thanks c_anuraag for this finding.
    Join the Facebook Group for MMX A110.
    P.S. You can click the thanks button to applaud the one hour or more it took me to put this thread up, and the regular time it takes me to update this thread for you guys!
    Drivers: these are the official drivers provided by Micromax.
    Here are some specs:

    • 5 Inch IPS capacitive screen with 480x854 resolution, 16.8 million colors, ~196 ppi density and 0.1296 mm dot pitch (Don't know what dot pitch means), 5 point multitouch
    • 1 GHz Dual Core processor, Mediatek MT6577 chipset*
    • 8 MP rear camera with LED flash and autofocus
    • Android v4.0.4, Dual SIM
    • Bluetooth v3.0
    • 2000 mAH battery which provides upto 5 hours of talktime and 180 hours of standby*
    • 0.3 MP Secondary Camera
    • 2 GB internal Memory*
    • All basic connectivity options like 3G, wifi, GPRS, usb, hotspot etc.
    • 512 MB of RAM*
    • Stuff you will get with the device: User Guide, Warranty Card, USB cable, battery, charger and handsfree

    Come on MMX A110 owners, let's start some serious development on this phone !!!
    I shall try my best to keep the O.P. updated.

    Sign this Petition to try to persuade Micromax to arrange Kernel source for their device and release them for further development of the phones.
    30
    After lots of hard work and studies of the chipset I have successfully overclocked the CPU to 1.2Ghz along with tons of other improvements
    According to my tester sheshuvadrevu, the performance has reached to high level and has marginally reached to that of Jellybean and this will be amazing when the kernel will be JB compatible.
    Checkout the screenshots attached.

    Secondly, I am postponing the release to 5 March 2013 becasue there is lots to come in the first release and will be super-power packed!
    I am going to start with Jellybean compatibility tomorrow so as to convert the upcoming kernel to a cross-compatible common kernel ;)

    I know after seeing this post many of you are going to be impatient especially after checking screenshots :p but to get best of the best you need patience :D

    Cheers!
