Rooting Canvas4

USING EXPLOIT:

using an exploit means using an available loophole in the firmware to root...this is done automatically by softwares like MOTOCHOPPER and FRAMAROOT

MOTOCHOPPER

Download MOTOCHOPPER and extract it to a folder in your PC

connect your phone to PC via USB cable

open the folder containing motochopper and start run.bat

a command prompt window will open...just follow onscreen steps

your mobile will reboot in some time....and DONE!!

FRAMAROOT(easiest method to root)

download framaroot app from the xda link given above

install framaroot and start the app

follow onscreen instructions

reboot phone done!NOTE: ROOTING WORKS WITH FRAMAROOT VERSION 1.5 and abv

WITHOUT USING EXPLOIT: this method doesnt use a loophole but forces the root on your device...which means this method is always successful...however you need CWM installed for this method...which can be easily installed using SP flash tools(see above)

FLASHING SUPERSU

install CWM by using the method of SP flash tool

download supersu.zip from above links transfer it to your SD card

boot into recovery using mobile uncle(just select boot into recovery option from the app) OR power off phone...turn it back on while holding both the volume keys along with the power key to boot into recovery

select "install zip from sdcard" "choose zip from sd card"

select supersu.zip and select select yes

reboot phone from the recovery main menu...DONE you are rooted!

Flashing a ROM

Through CWM Recovery

download the rom you want to download from the ROM list given below and transfer the zip file to sdcard

boot into recovery

wipe cache partition

wipe data/factory reset

advanced->clear dalvik cache

mounts and storage->format /system

select "install zip from sdcard"...."choose zip from sdcard" and select the zip file of the rom you just copied

after flashing finishes, reboot phone...the first booth after flashing every rom takes a long time...wait patiently....DONE...enjoy your new ROM!

THROUGH SP FLASH TOOL

same procedure as flashing CWM....just replace CWM with the downloaded SP FLASHABLE ROM

4> Unrooting Canvas4*

open supersu app in your app drawer

goto SETTINGS tab

select full unroot

restart phone and done

*just unrooting your phone wont put it back into warranty...you need to get it to absolute stock factory level to claim any warranty so BEFORE unrooting the phone

just flash the stock rom using SP flash tools from given link

##### Another mention: taking backup of your ROM using CWM

this can be important as if you mess up while using a custom rom or you end up in a soft brick..you can recover using the backup of your ROMi advise that after installing CWM you should first make a backup of your STOCK ROM so that you can have access ti full stock unroot anytime(just restore the stock back up and unroot using supersu...easy isnt it!! no need of dwlding any stock rom)to make backup

boot into CWM recovery

goto backup and restore

create backup->yes

reboot...done!the backup files are stored in internal memory/clockwork folderkeep a copy of this folder in your PC at all times for any emergency that may arise in future(make sure you delete this folder while sending the phone for servicing under warranty)

to restore the backup

boot into recovery

select backup and restore

select restore->date if the recovery

reboot done!
