thanks.....

While i check in running services from Settings>App

Total Available memory is less than 120mb.

Google services and Android Core Apps consumes around 20 mb

Then Mlauncher and Hookup(unregistered) runs in background consuming another 15 mb. (How to stop it permanently???)

Removing or freezing the unwanted apps can solve this problem.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bb4ugl:
ok dont worry

1st check if ur device is listed in adb

goto C:\android-sdk\platform-tools(

here u must have adb.exe

in cmd browse to this folder

C:\android-sdk\platform-tools

then type adb devices

u will get some thing like this

List of devices attached

1xxxxxxxxxxxx device

if not then install this program

http://pdanet.co/bin/PdaNetA350.exe

then try again

if listed then shut down ur phone

now press volume down +power botton

u will get ninja logo ,this is the fastboot screen

now connect to pc and type

fastboot devices

if listed then copy the recovery.img to

C:\android-sdk\platform-tools

now type

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

thats all

in system variable section select PATH

at the end add

;c:\android-sdk\tools;c:\android-sdk\platform-tools

I tried to remove these apps (Mistore, Mizone & Hookup) after rooting, But after removing them, I lost my home screen. I tried the factory reset but it did not work. So I went to the service center and there also they could not reset it. They gave me a brand new replacement as they could not repair and it was within 7 days of buying.

So, as of now, again I rooted the phone and now finding the way to safely remove these apps or freezing it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dhiraj:
Can you share the steps and files req. For rooting.i failed to get that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sanj1234:
With same steps as described by @anuriz

Only the difference was that. as I am using WinXP SP3, I had to install the Micromax A87 drivers by connecting the phone to the PC and executing "ShiftDevice_V0.2.exe" in Micromax Drivers folder and installing the drivers from "general_driver_0.0.7" folder whenever XP asked for the drivers. After that the unlockroot directly showed the Micromax A87 device and rooted it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sanj1234:
After a little bit of research I came to conclusion that "mLauncher" cannot be removed safely, but other apps can be, because its the andriod process and it is used to launch home screen. So unless a replacement launcher is installed, it cant be removed, if we try to remove, we may lose the home screen. Admins/ experts, please correct me if I am wrong, so that i can try removing the unwanted apps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BHARDIK:
Removing MLauncher

if anyone want to safely remove MLauncher from Device

follow this step but first need Root

root your devices and now install Rom Tool Box Pro version and open it

now go on App Manager

system scan all of your installed apps

now select MLauncher and tick uninstall

Mlauncher is removed now install any of launcher you want.

Help!

I rooted my device ( MicroMax A87, Ninja 4) and installed super user et al.

Now, for a new MOD, I installed ROM manager on my phone.

It says flash your ClockworkMod recovery, fine that is normal. Now the problem is my device is not getting detected when it says confirm your model. A87 is not there on the list. Only Micromax A70 is there (plus many other phones).

how do i install a new MOD / Partition my Card now ! HELP!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BHARDIK:
in Micromax A87 we need custom boot+recovery for upgrade using fastboot process or flashing process using mtk flashtool but we cant update using online cuz Micromax is not official Brand thats why dev's not devlop any recovery and ROM for us . we need to wait for someone who make this for us .

Can you make a video on you rooting your micromax a87?

Hi aunriz,

The instructions you gave on how to root the micromax a87 is very clear and understandable but I'm still scared to do so as it is my 1st android phone and i really don't want to brick it. If you can please make a video and post it on youtube showing how to root the micromax a87 ninja 4. know this would trouble for you but it would really help me and some other 1st time rooters alot.:)

Thanking you sincerely,
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dhiraj:
You can check you tube. A video regarding rooting is already there. If you able to install driver properly and your device is detected by adb devices commmand, then procced for rooting, otherwise no chance.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] saransaleen:
already saw that video but still have a doubt

Thank you very much for replying idhbar. I already saw that video but i have a few doubts.

1. The person in the video (vishals128) downloads the android sdk, java jdk and all other softwares from different websites other than the onethat is given by aunriz in the 1st post of this thread. Will this make a difference?

2.He also seems to have a different homescreen on the phone compared to the one I have on my phone. Will this make a difference?

3.He doesn't install the micromax drivers. I know that this will make a difference (correct me if i'm wrong).

4. In the post given by aunriz it is given "install Android sdk, after installing open sdk manager form star and select "android sdk platform-tools" and "google usb driver" unselect the rest, click install packages." But in the video the person only selects google usb driver and tells us to uncheck the rest. Will this also make a difference?

I wanted to follow the video and go ahead and root but all these differences b/w the video and aunriz's post go these questions in my mind.

Can anyone please answer these questions.

Thankinh you,
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dhiraj:
You can see in video that although usb driver is selected. But only platform tool is downloaded. Also you have noticed that A87 driver folder was in his pc. Video does not show this. Link does not matter.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] saransaleen:
So you recommend go with the post by aunriz?

So you suggest to go ahead and root by following the post given by aunriz? BTW idhbar did you also root your phone this way? Cos if you did i'll go ahead wid mine as well? :angel:

Dear Idhbar you need to change setting for driver installation for manually not automatically

then i need to try at-least once again !

if you don't mind.

The method given by aunriz worked perfectly for me.. Had a bit of trouble getting the adb to work but when i re-installed the drivers it was fixed.

Unlock root did say that my device was already rooted but i clicked root again and it was done.. Root check application told me that my phone has proper root access however busybox was not installed.. Can anyone help me install busybox on my phone.

I tried in different win7 based pc.This time no automatic driver installation , except usb port driver. I installed 4 drivers for A87 one by one.Same result. I think my device is treated as virtual mass storage. If I remove the driver for usb port which ms autoloaded driver and update the same by redirecting A87 driver folder,it automatically install Qualcomm driver with error code 10.

3. download Latest unlockroot 3.0

4. first conect your set and then click on UNROOT mark my word you have to press Unroot after a minute its ask you for restart press yes and restart your device

5. now remove your set and connect it again ! then Press ROOT and follow the steps your device is succesfully rooted ! @

hey guys,

I hav tried all d steps to root my MMX A87 as mentioned in in the beginning of this thread.. but as I previously wrote, I'm facing d problem while hitting the "ROOT" button in UnlockRoot interface, it shows d message: "your device is already rooted. Do you still want to root it?" . However, on checking root access with "Root Checker Basic app", it shows " Sorry! Your device does not have proper root access".

Also,on hitting "yes" , after d message "your device is already rooted. Do you still want to root it?".. UnlockRoot shows root succeeded. But on rebooting the phone and checking with d same Root Checker Basic app, it still gives d message "Sorry! Your device does not have proper root access".

Pls Help guys!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BHARDIK:
you need to unroot first then just root again !

first unroot with Latest unlockroot 3.0 ! then its aks you for restart now restart your device!
