update of a116

if we are updating the A116 to 4.2 as per your instruction what about warrenty
[Micromax A116] plethorahil:
It won't go... But it is safer to go to service center .. .... If anything goes wrong by you then u will be in trouble....

So it is advisable to let them upgrade ur phone... ..

:)
[Micromax A116] meenavin:
The service guys are not that intelligent as you think and there is not tracking on the phone to tell you how many times its flashed. I flashed my phone with 4.2 and end up in touch panel issue which was not responding post installation. I took it to service and informed them my touch panel is not working. They changed the motherboard of my phone and upgraded to 4.2 without any cost :D

Need Help

Hello,

I just updated my Canvas HD to the 4.2.1 Update. Followed the tutorial to flash the updated rom. The update went well, no issues there.

But after the update, I could not find the camera app in the app drawer.

Also,

When I try to run the application, through the lockscreen widget, it only shows the front camera, and not the rear one.

*added later*

I installed the Camera Nexus 7 (official) from Play Store.

now, the camera is available in the app drawer.

But I still cannot switch to the back camera.

Please help.

Totally new at this

Did you try factory reset ..
[Micromax A116] hitesh.soni890:
Reply to previous one

///

Yes, as a matter of fact, I did factory reset it and everything.

I tried resetting it, flashing it, etc.

I tried about 6-7 different 4.2.1 JB based ROMs and found this problem in each and every one of them.

The problem resolved when i used a 4.1.2 stock rom.

TP Upgrade

please help i m very confused.. this is not my phone it's my friends.. so how to restore old version... otherwise solution of TP Upgradation.
[Micromax A116] plethorahil:
Unfortunately it happened with me also ...

U should read the full thread before UPGRADING ur canvas hd manually :p ...

I got my HD repaired after only 11 days luckily ...

WHAT WILL U DO NOW? ?

1) Flash Stock ROM 4.1 via SP FLASHTOOL

2) Go to service center/mmx checkpoint with bill and tell them that "u have done factory reset ur phone and then after UR touchscreen is not working..."

3) As per your luck you will get repaired ur phone after SOME days with 4.1 jellybean

4) When collecting phone tell them to upgrade phone to 4.2 jellybean

And u r done ...:D

This worked for me...

Press thanks if u get some help :thumbup:
[Micromax A116] prithvirao17:
I had the exact same prob. And did exactly what is said above. I dont think you can fix it on your own. MMX gave me a hard time. 14 days there was no action. Had a huge argument with them and was fixed in 2 days after that.

Working on rooted device??

Hi

First, thanks for this post.

Second, please tell me, can i directly update my rooted device?

Actually my canvas hd is rooted.
[Micromax A116] babvin:
I believe its not possible
[Micromax A116] plethorahil:
are you updating ur canvas from 4.1 to 4.2.1 ???

if yes then i suggest you to unroot your device install stock recovery and then go to service centre tell them to upgrade ur CANVAS HD ....

Because upgrading urself causes some problems ...

And micromax service is somehow not good as expected ...

so go to service centre

[Micromax A116] plethorahil:
1) Backup everything

2) Flash CWM recovery (if u hve it ignore this)

3) wipe data/factory reset

4) wipe cache

5) wipe dalvic cache

6) wipe battery stats

Flash STOCK ROM again

If problem will be still there then what is the use of MICROMAX SERVICE CENTRES !? :D

All the best ...

Hope ur problem will solve soon.. :thumbup:
[Micromax A116] katheria:
Sir but I have not rooted my phone and even don't want to root is there any other way to do that
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
you should calibrate your battery. there are apps in play store to to do that. this kind of problems arise when data from the previous firmware are left behind. the app should wipe off the battery stats and allow the system to generate new info.

however, wiping it off will require *root access*. so there is no other way. you must root your phone. ;)

don't worry. you could unroot it later.

USB debugging not working

Thanks for creating this thread and releasing the update. It was really helpful.

I'm having an issue though. My usb debugging doesnt work after the upgrade. I'm able to see the device while using the 'adb devices' command but the apps just do not run from eclipse. I've tried multiple times, restarted the phone and disabled/reenabled the usb debugging option in settings.

Anyone else face the same issue? Any ideas?

for tpupgrade issues

i did not see anything in internet but i visited MMX service centre in Ranka park , richmond circle , bangalore and they fixed it. They changed display screen , after which tpupgrade started on its own and it completed successfully. but the touch drag from top to bottom was not working. He changed display again and flashed 4.1.2, then touch was working fine. I asked him to upgrade it to 4.2.1 and he did . Now everything is cool. My hands are itching to flash custom rom "doge" .

Invalid IMEI post Firmware Upgrade A116

Everything with this new firmware upgrade on my A116 looks awesome except for making calls. As soon as the TP upgrade flashed "success". I switched off the phone, removed the battery, waited for approximately 60 secs and inserted my sim cards and restarted the phone.

IMEI was missing. So googled again and followed another set of instructions to restore IMEI. Type - *#*#3646633#*#* >>> MTK engineer mode >>> connectivity tab >>> CDS Info >>> Radio Information >>> Phone 1 >>> type AT+EGMR=1,7,"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" where "XX.....X" is my M-IMEI number on the back panel below the battery. Once I click on Send it gives me no response. I have tried this with sim cards and without.

Any alternate help, suggestions?

I successfully upgrade my a116 but getting some problem like wifi range is so poor and major 3 keys (menu,home,back) are not working.. If i connect charger using PC then its automatically worked...
[Micromax A116] CompsGeek:
No warranty wont become void it is the official rom and if you go to the service center they will put the same rom i.e firmware in your phone

but if you do the upgrade manually at home be careful as people dont stick to the steps and are facing touch panel problems please follow the steps carefully when flashing the upgrade
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
Any suggestions? Still stuck in that touch screen issue..
[Micromax A116] CompsGeek:
What you can do is flash the rom with the CWM recovery image and go to recovery mode wipe all the things cache / dalvik cache etc and try reflashing it with the stock rom. its not tried or tested but just a suggestion if nothing else works lol .. it may not work so try if you are desperate

until then ill try to find the solution :o

TP upgrade happens only once so it might not update again try to revert back to stock 4.1.2 if it still not giving touch response then the touch screen digitizer i.e the chip that takes touch input may be bricked (worst case) then you may have to change the touch screen as it happened with othe people not the micromax phones but galaxy ones check this video for reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB4iC8i_t5w

this may not apply to us but it may be the case so dont worry until some one finds the solution

Found something

In case you have messed your TP Upgrade try the following method it was done for some other mobile and may work in MMX case too

Instructions:

1. Download Android SDK (+ adb driver(the micromax or usb driver)) from Android

2. Download java development kit Depending on your OS (not JRE but JDK)

3. Download this (touch_tool): Screencast with instructions : http://www.mediafire.com/?633q43563aatu5c

4. Download and install via CWM Chocobread 2.0 (this was for galaxymini but for micromax any version would work i guess)

5. Unrar downloaded pack (touch_tool...rar)

6 Connect your phone

7.Look in the device manager and search for micromax ADB (it will be there only if you have installed drivers and SDK)

8. Run files from step 1 (in pack ReadMe.txt), run step 2 and step3 (Android Screencast) provided inside the folders extracted

9. Wait for Connection between androidscreencast.jnlp to phone

10 Open call keyboard and type : *#*#2663#*#* ( this USSD code may not apply to micromax its for samsung please feel free to modify and try stuff)

11. Click "update" and wait for "update complete", "Update failed" -> retry

12. Restart phone and check if Touch panel is working or else Reflash firmware and do the TP upgrade properly

Not tested on Micromax but worth a try ..

check the website for AndroidScreenCast too.

TP Upgrade Failed but Working

I first faced this issue of TP failed when I flashed from V16 to V20 Stoke ROM. I was struck with a message warning me not to touch the screen. The touch did not even responded to "OK". I had to remove battery after sometime to make it reboot. While rebooting it said - TP upgrade failed or some similar error. The phone worked anyway for weeks without any problems. Thereafter I had re-flashed with MyPhone CWM upgrade-able 4.2.1 Version, however It did not ask for TP Upgrade. Then I again flashed Stock Rom for MMX i.e. 4.2.1, it still did not ask for TP Upgrade. However, I felt that Play Store ICON which come on top right hand side after "APPS"/ "WIDGETS" was not responding to Touch. I took it as some bug and ignored it as everything else was working. Anyway after one or two reboots, that even that ICON started working.

No issues now. :laugh:
