ROOT your Micromax A110

1. Download ROOT WITH RESTORE by Bin4ry
2. Download drivers for your device using PDANet (ADB drivers)
3. Enable USB Debugging on your phone (in SETTINGS).
4. Connect device in “Media Device” mode (and not the usual USB Storage mode). This is done after connecting the phone to the PC.
5. Click on “RunMe.bat”
6. Follow on screen instructions.

This entire process should take you less 10 minutes to complete. After successfully completing the same, the device will now have root access. Congratulations.

Install CWM Recovery on your Micromax A110

Following instructions in this guide, you will have successfully replaced the stock Recovery on your phone with the Clockworkmod Recovery.

1. Download CWM Recovery
2. Rename file to “recovery.img” and transfer to your SD card.
3. Download Mobileuncle MTK Tools from Google Play Store.
4. Use “Recovery Update” and select the previously transferred “recovery.img”
5. CWM Recovery will be installed on your Micromax A110.
6. To boot into CWM Recovery, Switch off Phone and then press “Vol Up + Vol Down + Power Button” till LED blinks Green.

Take a backup of your ROM by backing up to SD card so that you can restore it later whenever you require it (backs up everything!).

If you ever feel like getting rid of CWM recovery, you can follow the same steps and simply flash the stock recovery.img instead.

Flashing Micromax A110 to Stock ROM

Before anything else, you must know how to get back to the Stock A110 ROM in case anything goes wrong with the Custom ROM flashing, or if you just want to go back to the original ROM and get a good-as-new.

Now there are two stock ROMs. One is Micromax A110 V1. The other is the Micromax A110 V2. Now the V2 ROM has some tweaks and improvements over the V1 ROM.

Micromax A110 V2 ROM

• GPS Bug Fixed
• WiFi Disconnection Fixed
• Internal Storage  for apps increased to 1.5 GB
• Internal SD card size reduced from 2 GB to 1 GB (to increase apps storage)
• Dial Pad issue fixed
• M! Zone and M! Live are pre-installed now
• Apps can be moved to external SD card even without root now

Now, moving on to flashing the Micromax A110 stock ROM. We are assuming that you are following this GUIDE POST right from the beginning, that you have already installed ADB drivers for your phone (PDANet) and then you must follow the guide carefully.

1. Download Micromax A110 V2 ROM (linked above). Move ROM to SD card.
2. Follow THIS PICTORIAL GUIDE thanks to DROIDISER (the guide is by MICROMAX themselves). They have done an amazing job compiling this guide.
3. Enjoy Stock ICS V2 ROM on your Micromax A110. Remember, you will have to root the device again now.

Note – This guide assumes that the phone is on STOCK RECOVERY.
