Hi Team,
I have installed SuperSu to root my phone. I am a newbie to this, I don't know how to proceed to install custom rom in my Micromx Canvas HD A116.
pls suggest which is the most stable custom rom for MMX A116. and also pls guide me what is the way to take backup of current OS ( Android 4.1.2 ) , so that in case if the custom installation is fails I can easily restore with the backup.
Many Thanks,
LijuT

1. install cwm recovery (if u have pc , use sp flashtools to install/ u can use mobile uncle tools from google play)(its better if u install philzrcovery as i have seen many kitkat roms demands to install through philz).
2. download ur custom rom, save it in ur sd card.
3.boot into recovery (volume +power button during start up)
4.in recovery there will be an option backup (back up to ur sd card);
5.then select facory reset, clear cache and clear dalvik cache(from advanced options).
6.select install zip.
7.select the rom zip from sd card.
8.install.... reboot...
(its better if u have sp tools and stock rom file , as in case if u come across boot loops,u can reflash the stock.)

don't worry take it as a joke
this doesn't harm your mobile or cause any problem to your device
I suggest you to use teamwin recovery which doesn't give this message
I can't give you link because of the forum rules
so google for it!

Hi all I recently rooted my Micromax A116 and desperately need help with following:
1. I used RootGenius to root my phone. I now want to wipe my phone and do a factory reset. I've already backed up important stuff but now need the phone to be as good as new (with root access). How do I go about doing this?
2. Once it's reset, which recovery and rom am I supposed to use? The threads here use other root methods so I don't know what works with what I used. Do I even need a custom rom?
Please talk to me like I'm five because I've basically 0 understanding of all this.
Can someone please help?
Can someone at least tell me if it would be safe to unroot, do a factory reset via settings and then re-root again?
Please help me, I'm desperate.

The first thing you need to do is to install a custom recovery which can be twrp or cwm according to your liking and then download flashable zips of any rom and
go by the instructions given in the rom thread

Why would you want to unroot when you have nothing to install.? doing factory reset simply has no advantages!

Ok but my phone is already rooted but the instructions on the rom threads are for both root+recovery. So I'm concerned if I try to re-root on top of an already rooted device it will cause problems. So what can I do to just install recovery only? there are no instructions for that.

do the following steps..
1.download and install mobileuncle tools.
2.download the latest recovery which you want... either cwm 6.0.5.1 or twrp 2.8.3.0.
3.place the recovery in your sd card in the open i.e., it should not be in any folder.
4. rename the file to recovery. hence the file will be recovery.img.
5.open mobile uncle tools, go to recovery update.
6. 1st option will show the recovery in your sd card.
7.click on it... then press ok... then reboot.
8.Done!

Thank you for replying...I had given up and wasn't expecting a reply at all so didn't check for last few weeks.
So where can I download the latest version of cwm? there seem to be so many versions and most seem device specific. I'm not able to figure out Edit I've downloaded an older version which is mentioned that it works for micromax a116, is it safe to download a later version if its not specified it works with this phone?
