Thanks guyz...:)

btw after downloading and installing the update is it possible to get update.zip file from it???

i dnt know much abt all this things...ill try if der is any way...:confused::confused::confused:
[Micromax Canvas A1] whiplash1:
All idiots are getting update who don't even know how to run a basic logcat let alone capture the zip. Sad that none of us here at xda got it till now. Everybody is just downloading and installing in excitement. Nobody is thinking about capturing.
[Micromax Canvas A1] AVJG 420:
If you didn't reset you're phn the file might be there check bro
[Micromax Canvas A1] whiplash1:
It wont. It goes away once you install. N moreover you need root access to get the zip.
[Micromax Canvas A1] AVJG 420:
No you can copy the file by adb trick and without root
[Micromax Canvas A1] whiplash1:
adb will only work before you start downloading. Now it's too late bcoz he has installed it.
[Micromax Canvas A1] StormyKnight:
lol yeah but I wouldn't call them idiots, maybe inexperienced. if I got the update, I will surely upload it.
[Micromax Canvas A1] Srish XDA:

Plz help... I have cleared Google Play services and Google Service Frame, I have powerd Off phone after, I am trying to power on by pressing Power button, but phone is not turning on.. plz help.. If i connected charger the screen flashes with charging static icon:crying::confused::crying:
[Micromax Canvas A1] StormyKnight:
as I heard it's harmful to the phone. I can be patient :angel:

maybe you can try this, turn on the phone and wait for few minutes, it takes time. maybe there is another way, I dunno because I am still new to this phone not sure how to go even the boot menu. but if u can get to the boot menu, you can also reset the phone.

It should work for all android one devices.

But i can't guarantee it but yes if you download ota with stock recovery you won't loose your app data.
[Micromax Canvas A1] StormyKnight:

[Micromax Canvas A1] manojnagendra:
bro one more help.i downloaded it can you tell me how to flash it onto my device(bootloader locked and unrooted).pls help
[Micromax Canvas A1] rsajmani:
kpw53
[Micromax Canvas A1] priyam basak:
Flash via stock recovery no need to be rooted..
[Micromax Canvas A1] StormyKnight:
I have kpw77, then I presume your update won't work with phones that is kpw77 build number. right?
[Micromax Canvas A1] priyam basak:
It will worl don't worry..our devices are from same sprout.
[Micromax Canvas A1] manojnagendra:
does my phone's bootloader need to be unlocked?
[Micromax Canvas A1] StormyKnight:
I am not sure I guess I wait until OTA comes for me. :rolleyes:
[Micromax Canvas A1] rsajmani:

[Micromax Canvas A1] priyam basak:
Nope.
[Micromax Canvas A1] AVJG 420:

[Micromax Canvas A1] whiplash1:
Dont sideload it guys. I lost my baseband and IMEI. Phone became laggy. Lost some apps. eg Titanium bckp and root explorer. I was lucky that I had taken a nandroid backup. Now everything is fine after restoring da backup.
[Micromax Canvas A1] AVJG 420:
You try this with stock recovery or adb
[Micromax Canvas A1] whiplash1:
adb and stock recovery both are required.
[Micromax Canvas A1] sanjayjainin:
It works. Download to SD card go to stock recovery and install zip from SD card....

I just used the link provided working like a charm since last 15 mins
[Micromax Canvas A1] StormyKnight:
maybe you have the same build I have? what is your build number?
[Micromax Canvas A1] whiplash1:
KPW53. I also tried update from SD card. Same problem.
[Micromax Canvas A1] sauron_sh:
But after the update u cant retain the rooted apps and your device is automatically unrooted ....

press thanks if i helped... :)
[Micromax Canvas A1] dpk0713:
Is it has any bug in camera & video shooting mode?
[Micromax Canvas A1] divab0230:
My build no. Is kpw53 should I flash it??
[Micromax Canvas A1] rajatkhare:
Stock Recovery

Whenever I boot my phone in recovery mode it just shows an android bot opened with exclamatory sign on it and notging else.

Is there any problem with my stock recovery?
[Micromax Canvas A1] AVJG 420:
Now press power and vol+ button at same time
[Micromax Canvas A1] rajatkhare:
Bro, I know how to boot into recovery mode but when I boot in recovery mode and select recovery mode then an android bot lying open appears and something in chinese is written there. So, I just want to know that is it normal or is there any problem with my device? And if this is a problem then how can I solve it?
[Micromax Canvas A1] divab0230:
Attach pic..
[Micromax Canvas A1] rajatkhare:
How to take screenshot in recovery mode??
[Micromax Canvas A1] tenebr050:
Yes, I got it. Happened with me as well. It's normal. Just press POWER and VOLUME UP at the same time, like he said. Make sure you only _press_ it, not _long press_.
[Micromax Canvas A1] rajatkhare:
Solved... :)
[Micromax Canvas A1] tenebr050:
Working

So I flashed from the OTA URL, and it's working like a charm.

Camera flashes twice. Video mode working fine. Panorama, Lens Blur and PhotoSphere okay.
[Micromax Canvas A1] divab0230:
Brother plz tell your build...and instructions to install it
[Micromax Canvas A1] Srish XDA:
I got the Android Bot lying down in recovery mode, after that I pressed power + volume up button but nothing happens... plz tell me whats the exact way instructions to install the downloaded OTA from SDcard......:rolleyes:
[Micromax Canvas A1] tenebr050:
Sure, My KitKat build was KPW53.

To install the update, download the zip from the URL posted by priyam basak and move it to your SD card.

Boot the phone into stock recovery, and select "Apply update from SD card", then choose the file you just downloaded.

That's it.

Doesn't matter if the bootloader is unlocked or the phone is rooted. It will get unrooted automatically though.

Anybody tried this till now??? Any bugs??? The dialer bug or something??
[Micromax Canvas A1] manojnagendra:
Does everything gets formatted?apps,photos.do we need to take a backup before flashing?
[Micromax Canvas A1] tenebr050:
Nothing is deleted. Everything down to your lock screen pattern is retained. However, it's never a bad idea to backup.
[Micromax Canvas A1] Rajesh V Nair:
Installed just now. No probs yet

Seems the wait was worth it
[Micromax Canvas A1] tenebr050:
Dialer bug

I noticed a bug. At times, when you try to dial a number, the phone soft-reboots. The other guy still receives the call, but can't talk, because your device is on the boot animation.

Doesn't happen always though.

[Micromax Canvas A1] tenebr050:
Can't be sure. The name of the file does have "mmx" in it. You can always take a Nandroid backup and give it a shot.
[Micromax Canvas A1] terroboy k9:
What abt rooting this ota?? When i installed Indian backup my root was gone. Now someone help how to root and flash custom recovery on this?? And tell me if the sp tool for old kitkat and stock rom will help in flashing recovery on this new 5.1 ?? Please someone help
[Micromax Canvas A1] GokulNC:
The OTA link update works like charm!! No major bugs found.

Thanks to the link provider. I guess it's someone Vikramjeet or this person: [MENTION=6517685]rsajmani[/MENTION]

Instructions for those who want to install official lollipop:

Download this update zip file and place it in your memory card:

http://ota.googlezip.net/packages/o...20.signed-sprout-mmx-ota-1783956.d827aed7.zip

2. If you haven't flashed any custom recovery, you're good to go.

Else flash the stock recovery. Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?cr10jbo9f6gnh32

Now switch off your mobile and hold power button + volume up button until you get the (boot loader) menu.

3. Then use the volume up button and point to the recovery option.

Then press the volume down button.

4. You'll now see a bot lying down with !

Now hold power button + tap the volume up button once.

You'll now see a menu. (If you for get the menu, try the combination again)

5. Head to the "Install update from SD Card" using volume down button and select it using power button. Select the zip file you downloaded using the volume up or down keys and choose it by pressing power button.

6. That's it! Now select the "reboot system option" and wait for a few minutes to let the phone boot. Now you're ready to go with lollipop :)
[Micromax Canvas A1] manojnagendra:
\

will this brick my spice dream uno if i flash it?
[Micromax Canvas A1] GokulNC:
No, I don't think it'll brick the phone. After all, except the OEM files, Android One phones share everything same.

So you can proceed.

And, here's someone who saying it's working in all Android phones: http://xdaforums.com/canvas-a1/general/ota-micromax-official-ota-captured-t3058914

I am. I think the problem is that I'm using Spice Uno. I read on another thread that I need to modify oem.prop to make it the same model as the Max. But I don't have the permissions to do that (even with root). Let me see if I can find a way around it.
