These are the instructions to Flash Stock Rom

Hello All,

I am completely new to android world. I have somehow able to successfully root my micromax a58 by the steps shown in first post here. Now i want to use link2sd application, I have 8gb card but the steps for link2sd is confusing for me. Can someone please explain in detail ? It will be very helpful. Do I need to format and partion my SD card, if yes then how ? and how to install link2sd application.

Also I am unable to connect my mobile to my laptop. I am using window 7 ultimate 64bit.

Plz explain in detail.

Thanks in advance
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanket@95:
1st make partition using minitool wizard...

make ext2 partition of 256 mb its quite sufficient...

then download link2sd from play store..

then go to settings>application> select link2sd them move it to phone storage..

then open it.

then pop will appear choose format in that choose ext2..

then reboot ur phone...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prem29:
Thanks a lot sanket but i am stuck at first step itself :)

I assume that to make partition, I will have to connect my mobile to laptop but when i do that i don't see SD Card in my drives list ( C:, D: etc). What i have to do here ? I installed the drivers given in first page but no use. I am using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.

Hello fellas.. Now who told u ctr is not working. Jus check the method in which u have flashed the recovery. And have u guys have any idea that mobile uncle tools hasent yet fully supported mt6572.

http://www.mediafire.com/view/g8tkf2a7qqv0zpu/recovery.img

Now the above link is the link for stock recovery. And use manual porting option. I hope u get it.

The reason the manual porting failed is due to bad recovery or corrupt recovery image

And regarding swapping of memory! Jus don't do it the memory is already swapped by Micromax out of the box. Jus don't post wrong information you are making someone's fone get bricked!!!!

[MENTION=5331075]alanvmathew[/MENTION] Dude, I followed all the steps in installing GravityBox but when I open Gravity Box it doesn't work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alanvmathew:
Well the best method for flashing the recovery is using ctr porting tool and ctr can't be flashed via so tool. That's wat I think. I will upload the ctr recovery as soon as I get a PC. By the way did u use ctr porting tool for ubifs format and if so it would never be a problem because it was developed based on micromax a58 tests. And I think the stock recovery image I uploaded got corrupt will try giving u new correct recovery. And wats ur sw version t09 or T07.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alanvmathew:
There is a app called busy box installer in play store download it and smart install busy box. Now uninstall the gravity box and install it again. Don't ever move gravity box to SD card or second partition as it will slow the phone and may sometimes not work.
