[Micromax Canvas A1] Mohitash:
FYI Guys, after restoring this rom, can't go in custom recovery. Need to delete some recovery file in this stock.

Now i am going to root it then will delete that file or something (need to check). And then will make a clean rooted stable backup of this

[Micromax Canvas A1] Androidoo:
nope, but see the pic, i can access recovery;)
[Micromax Canvas A1] jaskiratsingh:
Did you install it using all in one or it is working post flash of 5.1?
[Micromax Canvas A1] Androidoo:
its working even after flashing android 5.1..its still same,,,
[Micromax Canvas A1] jaskiratsingh:
Sorry for asking few questions.

Did you flash both system and boot?

Did you reboot after flashing 5.1?
[Micromax Canvas A1] Androidoo:
yess i flashed system and boot only, and then reboot to system, then lollipop boots after 5 mins
[Micromax Canvas A1] arpanbag1996:
We selected the whole thing & now we are stuck here. What to do?
[Micromax Canvas A1] jaskiratsingh:
Awesome. Looks like we can use your device nandroid's backup if other method fails. With your backup we will have 5.1 with custom recovery.... :)
[Micromax Canvas A1] Androidoo:
oh **** why u did that? its written in the threD THAT u need to select only boot and system, need to delete those extra files that u have flashed:(

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

no as he said, he has selected everything while restoring and thats the reason recovery is not accessible. u just need to restore boot.img and system, check this, i followed it http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-de...-lollipop-android-one-cwm-restorable-t3034431
[Micromax Canvas A1] jaskiratsingh:
Do you mean selected all options in nandroid backup?

If yes and you can get in recovery, restore the previous backup, if you have.

If no, then you can try flashing 4.4.4 using sp tools.

I just chose system and boot and still am on the boot logo (4 rotating dots), waiting for something to happen.
[Micromax Canvas A1] arpanbag1996:
How to delete those extra things?
[Micromax Canvas A1] Androidoo:
i just checked, u have also flashed recovery.img and that file is corrupted:( thats why you cant access the recovery

i am trying to expand it as an archive so that i can give u the location and name of file, now if mohitash or any dev can find a way to root, then we can delete those and then flash the new recovery
[Micromax Canvas A1] arpanbag1996:

[Micromax Canvas A1] jaskiratsingh:

Does the bootloader needs to be unlocked to do this cause i did this process on the locked bootloader, which showed no error, and till now i am on boot logo (4 rotating dots)?

[Micromax Canvas A1] jaskiratsingh:
Perform the below assuming you have a nandroid backup.

1. Reboot into recovery

2. Press the volume up and power and then press volume down with power pressed. You will se stock recovery

3. Reboot into bootloader

4. Open command prompt, navigate to adb folder and run the following command without quotes "fastboot boot c:\recovery-philz.img" (Assuming your recovery is in C drive)

The device will boot into philz recovery. Resotre the nandroid backup.

Shucks Man...Looks like i am out of luck.

Rebooted the device in philz recovery with unlocked bootloader

Took nandroid backup

Wipe user data, cache, dalvik

Restored only system and boot from the backup

Wipe user data, cache and dalvik

Rebooted the device and stuck on boot icon (4 rotating icons) for the last 20 minutes. Looks like I am on boot loop :(

What am i doing wrong?

Also can someone make a flashable zip? Will be much appreciated.

Guys,

Can you please tell what did you do in "Step 3. Boot into recovery and full wipe"

I am using format user data, delete cache and dalvik. Then restoring system and boot but getting stuck on bootloop.

All those who have been successful booting into 5.1, kindly suggest.
[Micromax Canvas A1] arpanbag1996:
Got it. Can U tell me ur recovery version?

---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 AM ----------

Trying "Wipe ...new ROM" will inform u whether it works or not.

---------- Post added at 04:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 AM ----------

Took almost 15 minutes but worked like a charm!
[Micromax Canvas A1] jaskiratsingh:
Kool. Will try that.
[Micromax Canvas A1] arpanbag1996:
I'm reminding u that I got Philz recovery on CM11, then clicked Wipe to install ROM, then restored only system & boot, but tyhen again my Philz recovery is gone.
[Micromax Canvas A1] samarth05:
First boot take a lot of time [About 10-15 mins to completely load].

Again the steps are -

1. Unlock the bootloader [Make sure you format data while unlocking bootloader (will be good and your external won't be erased, so don't worry) cause it's necessary I think].

2. Install Philz Recovery with adb.

3. Root the Phone using Latest SuperSU zip [Using Philz Recovery].

4. Wipe Data, Install ROM, Gapps and Flash SuperSU again.

5. Clear Caches before Rebooting [Dalvik+System Caches].

6. Reboot Phone. First boot a very long time.... Then Setup your phone and if you feel your phone lagging, just reboot your phone twice or thrice and try clearing caches from Recovery.

ALSO, USE WINDOWS 7 or LOWER FOR USING SP FLASH TOOL..

SP FLASH TOOL DOESN'T WORK ON WINDOWS 8 or 8.1!!
[Micromax Canvas A1] God Hand 001:
thnks for suggestions.. got my phone back by going service center .. well i was using windows 8.1 for sp flash tool ..btw thanks guyz :)

[Micromax Canvas A1] God Hand 001:
guyz check this link out !!

According to recent reports, the Lollipop update for the Android One phones is ready and consumers may start seeing it on their phones as early as the middle of December. This means that starting next month, you can expect your Android One to get an update via OTA.

Although Google has remained quiet about the update to Android One devices, Spice, the company which made Dream Uno phone for Android One programme, has stated that the Lollipop update to its users will be rolled out by the end of January. “We plan to provide Lollipop in our Android One devices around January 2015 and the update will be available for all Dream Uno users in India,” stated Prashant Bindal, CEO, Spice Mobility.... spice users get their lollipop by january end stated by spice ceo.. but what about our Micromax canvas A1 ??

No issues. I need to cross the first hurdle, my device should boot with 5.1. Meanwhile can you create a zip file which can be flashed from recovery? This should make my, possibly others, life easier.

Thanks.
[Micromax Canvas A1] Mohitash:
Correct steps for lollipop 5.1 Just to help some users

In recovery-

-wipe data (clean rom), cache and dalvik cache. - In case if you are coming from Indonesian Lollipop rom, then also go in custom format option and format /data and /data/media

-Go in backup and restore

-Custom restore from external sd card

-select only boot and system - check (x)

-continue to restore job and select that lollipop rom

-restore and reboot

-set up your phone

-After installing this rom, you lost your custom recovery. Just use this ALL IN ONE tool

-install recovery and then you can root your this lollipop also :good:

Regards

It's great that we've found a working ROM, but I have 2 questions,

1)WHAT ABOUT BATTERY BACKUP? Can Anyone post screenshots of battery stats? Indonesian Rom wasn't good for our battery, is Phillipino any good??

2)In the future, When Android M starts rolling out for Canvas A1, will we get the OTA notification through this Custom Rom or will it get updated when its released for Myphone Uno, or neither? Will we have to flash Android M directly or first Official Android L then officially update to M??

Any news of the official OTA?
