[Micromax A116] Parthalucky:
I am new to A116 but an old android fan so when I bought the mobile I thought of rooting it but as many have some problem, I am going to give the easiest rooting method which may work for any devices.

It works on the latest stock rom too.

Rooting:

Method 1: Can be done from mobile

Requirements:

Framaroot (search on Google )

Steps:

1)Open Framaroot

2)Select the exploit such as Boromir

3)It will ask you to restart. Just Restart

4)Now Ur Rooted. But the SuperSU is old.

Method 2:Can be done from mobile with Computer

Requirements:

1)SP Flash Tools (Search on Google)

2)TWRP or CWM (Get it from here)

CWM : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290174

3)Latest SuperSU zip (Search on Google)

4)Knowledge of Flashing through SP Flash Tools

Steps:

1)Copy the SuperSU zip to root of your SD card

2)Flash the recovery through SP Flash Tools

3)Now goto recovery and flash the SuperSU zip

4)Now ur rooted. The latest SuperSU is installed into the system along with the new binary.

Alternate Step:

1)If you have flashed CWM recovery and have not downloaded the SuperSU zip then you can still root the phone.

2)Just get into recovery and then click to restart system.

It will ask to root the device.

3)Go to the Yes option and when u restart, your phone will be rooted. But the SuperSU is old. So update from PlayStore

Updating to Custom Recovery:

Method 1: Can be done from mobile

Requirements:

1)U r Rooted

2)Mobile Uncle MTK Tools(Download from PlayStore)

3)TWRP or CWM recovery(Download from above given links)

Steps:

1)Now if you have the recovery downloaded then copy it to root of your SD card and rename it to recovery.img

2)Open the Mobile Uncle MTK Tools and grant SuperSU permission

3)Go to recovery update option and click on the recovery.img

4)It will ask to reboot. Now here is the critical step. Just wait 10-15 secs without rebooting because if you reboot suddenly then the recovery that the MTK tools is copying will be stopped and the recovery will get corrupted and when you boot into recovery, u will just see black screen.

This means take out the battery and do the steps again.

5)Now you have a custom recovery installed to flash ur zips

Method 2:Can be done from computer only

No need to be rooted

Requirements:

1)SP Flash tools

2)Knowledge of flashing through flash tools

3)Custom Recovery Downloaded

Step:

This is just like flashing ur rom but instead of choosing all the partition in the recovery, just tick the recovery partition and show where u have the recovery downloaded.

Now click download and after it is finished

U can go to recovery to see if it is flashed successfully.

Updating to latest SuperSU:This can only be done through mobile

Method 1:

1)Update from PlayStore.

2)Then open it and update the su binary

3)Now you can do it normally but if it fails you can choose the CWM/TWRP option to go to recovery and update the binary.

4)Now open SuperSU and go to option of installing it into the system.

5)Now reboot and check if installed because if not installed, root is lost and u have to root again.

Now 2nd method is the surest and best method to update to latest SuperSU and have the binary installed automatically

Method 2:

1)Download the latest SuperSU zip

2)Enter the recovery and flash the zip.

3)Now u can reboot to see that latest SuperSU is installed directly into the system

Q) Now users may ask why do we need to install SuperSU into system?

A) It is very simple. U may have a app that ask for root permission just after booting.

If SuperSU is not is installed in system then the permission will be denied and app stops working. This may be critical if u apps like Seeder or Greenify or Link2Sd or such installed and the permission gets denied.

Don't worry root is not lost but it is delayed to the time when your SD card is fully mounted by the system.

This type of delay can be experienced by anyone who has lots of apps installed.

Sometimes due to quickly booting the SD card gets mounted later thus the delay again.

So it's better if you install the SuperSU into system. This way no problem will occur.

Thanks for reading. Hopefully this will help everyone.

Hit thanks if it helped "YOU"
