Download this file : http://d-h.st/Grf and extract it.

Open device manager in your computer...Now switch off your phone and connect your phone to PC. Now you should see your device appearing ( It will appear only for 1 or 2 sec). Immediately right click and choose install driver. It will ask for the file location and locate it to the extracted folder. Now driver installation should go and it will be successful. Re connect and you should have no problems.

If you have any problems in this reply me and i will help you.

Hey,
I tried as instructed but it is not to working for me :confused: :rolleyes:

From the image u have attached there is a MT65xx preloader shown..Right click on it and locate it to the extracted driver folder. It should install.

If not installing then do the same procedure i have mentioned earlier with phone switched on.

Still cannot do this...i have even browserd it to the exact "usb_driver" path or should i locate it to amd64 /i386 folder?


P.S. is there any video available?

Can't help u more than this..It's a pretty easy thing and i can't make videos for this nor anything would be available in the net.

If u had used any previous Micromax phones or MTK smartphones first you need to get rid of those drivers and then install this one.

Refer this thread and this would help you
