Root success ......but cwm issue

I've successfully rooted my phone..... thanx a tonne for that........ but while using mobileuncle to flash cwm.... i did just like instructed but when it says reboot to recovery it reboot backs normally..... what to do?? plz HELP
[Micromax A116] shivambajaj:
Try another recovery or try twrp this method worked for me... Without any bugs... Like what you r facing... Btw what's your android version...!!

Xda suck... Seniors don't have the guts to thank a junior... If that's not the case then hit the Thanks Button... :)
[Micromax A116] dakshnaveen:
Man i've tried cwm and twrp both using mobileuncle.... but not working...... i'm thinking of flashing recovery through sp tools... but m not sure if that will change my rom version as i'm on 4.2.1 build 13 which i got updated from the service center.... on the internet it is the build 9 which ofcourse will have more bugs.... my phone is rooted just fine.... SO PLEASE ANYONE TELL ME IF USING THE SCATTER LOADING METHOD USING THE SP TOOL TO FLASH JUST THE CWM RECOVERY CHANGE MY VERSION 13 BACK TO 09(the scatter loading file is 4.2 build 09) ??????
[Micromax A116] shivambajaj:
Okkk... But that should not make any difference... I'm on 09...this method worked for me.... Does it reboot when you install the recovery or what happens?? Explain in detail l... I might be of some use :p

just one confusion....... will that change my rom or in any case wipe all my data..... cuz that will be a big pain....
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
Man you ppl are insane. Lol. Root is root whichever method you use to get it. You didn't have to unroot it in the first place. However, coming to the issue here Now i assume you have root access somehow. You say you flashed it successfully but your phone reboots back to home screen instead of entering recovery. Did you try entering the recovery manually? If not, pls check. Switch off your phone and start recovery.. Volume up+ power does that.. Tell me if you see the stock recovery.

Nope it won't change your rom...

alright. so the stock recovery isn't working too. I say, try flashing twrp one last time. Download this "http://d-h.st/IsY".

stock rom with xposed framework
[Micromax A116] dakshnaveen:
can u tell me about xposed framework i've heard about it but as i m new to rooting i dont want to experiment by myself
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
Previously, When the world did not have Xposed framework, customizing an android phone was a huge task. Changing something as simple as the color of your clock required so many changes to system files and flashing to do it.. But with Xposed Framework, you don't have to do any of it. Install the Framework. Then install any Xposed mod that works with the framework and you can turn your android upside down. It is a powerful tool. You will need root access only once to install it. After it is installed, it will work whether you have root access or not.

this thread says it all - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

If you want to undo your changes, you just have to disable the mod through the xposed app. you can re-enable it whenever you need it again. the mod i recommend for use with xposed framework is Gravity box. it contains almost everything you need for this canvas phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2316070

there are other mods though, but you won't need them as they just provide similar features or one or two already existing feature. i don't rule out anything interesting. there are other mods that provide unique features. you could try them if you want.

It is safe. Try and see for yourself.

i updated my mmx a116 chd to

jb 4.2.1 baseband ver MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P18 [2013/07/04]

. my default write disk is my 4 gb "external sd card". but things get written to my 2 gb internal sd card. and my earlier backups in "external sd card" is not seen by apps. only my files on the internal sd card are seen

while inside recovery too

. and since there is no built-in file manager, i can't navigate to the file i want to flash. right now, i'm on cwm v6.0.2.5.

could it be a fault with the sdcard? if i were to use another one, what file system should i use while formatting the card? fat / fat32 / ntfs? and, is the speed class of the card important?

p.s.: is there any connection between this problem and the one reported in this thread? somebody, please give me a solution..... thanks.
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
don't use cwm. i suggest using twrp recovery. it might solve half your problems.

btw i have a feeling this sd card issue has something to do with your bluetooth issue.

bro last time i rooted all good.this time i have not even installed custom recovery but it kills 1% battery in every 5 second

i used that battery callibration app you told

in night phone was good as i woke up i started draining again in every 5 second

i mean so crazy speed

i have few apps only like grrenify,titanium,battery callibartion,wakelock detector,sqlite installer for root ** this SQ app is only different bi did not had last time i rooted phone
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
I'm pretty sure that root and custom recovery don't affect the battery life of the phone. Root is merely a privilege granted to the user. It is not even an application. The same applies to Custom recovery. It is not an application that runs during normal usage. You have to manually boot into it. So, I guess it's something to do with yourself for this issue.

I suggest checking the battery stats under settings to see which app consumes the most amount of juice. Also, check that the Developer Tools are turned off. some of those tools consume a lot of battery if turned on unintentionally. Disable any experimental mods if you have flashed any.

Also, try calibrating your battery properly if everything else seems to be normal.
[Micromax A116] schizophrenics:
I read a post of performing dalvik cache first before battery calibrating..

Also, 4.2.1 up will experience battery drop as our battery goes below 40% either tweaked/rooted/calibrated.. Tested on my device for both stock and custom roms
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
wiping dalvik cache not necessary. this app does everything that's needed,
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
Pls report If there is any issue. Good luck :)

did root of Micromax A116 but want backup of my stock rom

Hi

I've managed to root my Micromax A116 canvas hd phone. I bought it a few weeks ago in early October in Australia sold as a Kogan Agora 5" HD quad core smartphone with android 4.2.1. My phone says the kernel version is "3.4.5 KoganAgora_Kernel.V2.0 Sat Aug 24 16:38:24 CST 2013"

I've put in an external 32GB microSD card but the phone's stock ROM/Android 4.2.1 system doesn't give me the option to set the external SD card as the default write disk.

I've made backups of all my files/data/apps. I'd like to make a recovery image of the Kogan stock rom to external disk for recovery in case I need to send it back to the manufacturer at any time. I've got stock Micromax roms but that won't help if I need to send the phone back to Kogan. They'll void my warranty

With root on the phone I ran TWRP Manager<Backup. I used the standard checked options and asked me for a file name to send to the external SD card. I moved the slider to right and it did its thing and finally rebooted the phone. I checked both my internal and external SD cards but I can't find a folder/file with the name I gave it. I'm obviously doing something wrong....how can I create a backup/recovery rom from my present phone? :(

Secondly, the links you've provided for the stock Micromax 4.2.1 rom says that it has various bug fixes included fixing the external SD card. Is that right? does anybody know for sure? And if so, why is my stock Micromax/Kogan 4.2.1 rom still have the bug?

any help appreciated, cheers, Claudio
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
Hi

The backup must be inside a folder named TWRP. it can be inside either internal or external SD card. In my case, it is usually stored in the internal SD card. If you want to locate it using twrp file manager, the internal SD card would be the /emmc folder.

The firmware for canvas HD is provided by Micromax and it could be different from that your manufacturer provides.
[Micromax A116] rei57:
Hi

I initially saved the backup to external SD and did it again saving the file to internal SD. Ran TWRP file manager and checked both SD cards but no folders named TWRP or any sign of the backup files. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Secondly, can you clarify that the TWRP backup file is an actual image of the manufacturer's firmware? I want to be able to restore the phone as original Kogan, if I need to send it back. Otherwise, is there another app that will make a backup image of my original firmware?

cheers, Claudio
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
Hi again!

it's impossible. if you made a backup, it must be there somewhere. try to find using a normal file manager.

They are not exact image files of manufacturer's firmware. but they will have everything saved just like you have it now. you can restore this state of your phone later. you'll have all your apps the same way you left them. Like, if you have rooted firmware now, don't expect a unrooted official manufacturer's firmware to magically take it's place. You will get back your same rooted firmware.

When you backup, these are the things you'll need. (system, data, boot, android_secure and sd-ext). Move your backup to your pc and keep it safe for later. it's always better to have something than nothing.

EDIT:

this is the device you're talking about http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/18/kogan-agora-smartphone-mark-ii/ :)

Camera fix on stock ROM?

Hey guys, I just bought Canvas HD for my father (even though he kept telling me to take Galaxy Core). The first few weeks were awesome, and I was able to use it to the fullest extent. However, I did notice one thing. The camera freezes,and when I close it through the recent apps list, I am not able to open it again until I reboot. Now my father is blaming all these on me (remember I made him buy A116). Is there anyone here who has faced the same problem and found a solution?

P.S I've used Camera JB+. Same thing happens.
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
Even I would suggest Samsung a over Micromax. I've been using CanvasHD for 6 months now. I haven't faced the problems you've mentioned. But I have my own disappointments (camera quality, low battery life, and many others). However, since you've have bought the mobile, I would say, check it in the service center and ask them to replace the software (this could solve the camera issue. this, only if you want the warranty to remain intact. trust me, micromax service centres are very bad.) If you don't care about the warranty (for me, a warranty from micromax means nothing), you could try flashing some fancy roms yourself.. there are samsung, sony, huawei and firmwares from many brands.. the samsung touchwiz roms are the best (in my view). try something like these.

You could have just said that directly here instead of posting a long link. Trying too hard to fill up your thanks meter eh? Rofl. it will never help you narcissists. he he :laugh:
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
No dude. Canvas HD runs on MediaTek MT6589 and this processor doesn't have proper source codes released publicly to build a Android KitKat for this phone. There are hundreds of phones running the same processor and as of today, none of them have got KitKat. There are only a handful of people who have managed to get the complete source codes from Mediatek and OEMs. But there are lots of bugs to be fixed by them. It will definitely take many months before a flawless version can be built by these people. As far as Micromax is concerned, there are some rumours floating around that Micromax will release Kitkat in April/May 2014. Micromax is relatively new in this field and I don't think they are capable of such huge breakthroughs. However, we will definitely get a Kitkat build much sooner from the unofficial developer community. Micromax would just wait till some foreign player makes a flawless build and then copy it to their phones. It will be long. So Keep checking the community forums often to get the kitkat as soon as it is prepared by the community developers. this way, you get it much sooner.
