Hello Friends,
i have found many queries regarding how to get stock recovery back...therefore i am presenting the solution of it....
->Requirements
Stock Recovery Image(in attachments)
Scatter Loading File(in attachments)
Micromax A116 Drivers(32bit/64bit)
SP Flash Tool
A computer
A Micromax A116 (obviously)
->Steps
1. Install drivers for your phone using Micromax drivers.
2. Extract the Stock ROM folder and replace recovery.img with cwm recovery.
3. Extract and open the SP Flash Tools.
4. In SP Flash Tools, click on Scatter-Loading and the program will ask you the location of the scatter loading file for your device.
5. select the file "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc" which is our scatter loading file.
Check only recovery.img and uncheck all others.
6. Switch off your phone (Remove the battery to make sure it is switched off).
7. In Flash Tool, go to Options and Click USB Mode so that it is enabled. Click options again and then go to DA Download All > Speed and finally select High Speed.
8. Click the Download option (present on the right of Firmware
> Upgrade option) and the flash tool will start looking for your phone.
9. Connect your phone now. The Flash Tool will start the flashing process, the progress of which can be viewed from a yellow progress bar at the bottom of the flash tool.
**Don't interrupt this process as it can potentially brick your device.
**Make sure no power interruption takes place. (Use a laptop to ensure this).
10. After the process completes, a green ring will appear on your device signalling that the process was successful.
11.Disconnect your phone.

Hi all. I will try to write an tutorial for all who want to root your new update firmware.
First lets consider that you have updated your firmware and booted at least one time.
Now what we need is: one PC,cable to conect your phone to PC, and 2 tools: TWRP 2.7.1.1 for KK and Superuser or SuperSU at least 2.16, no less.
Lets begin.
1. Connect your phone to your PC and install phone drivers correctly.
2. Copy superuser.zip or SuperSU on your SDCARD. Remember: only one is good. DO NOT FLASH BOTH. Flash the one you like.
3. Disconnect your phone from PC.
4. Extract files from TWRP 2.7.1.1 or the newest one TWRP 2.8.4.0 rev 2 archive on some folder on your PC.(Remember the folder )
5. In your folder that you extracted your archive you should find recovery.img and one scatter file.
6. Now you must have this FlashTool - SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119 or SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01. Not Optional.
7. Power Off your phone.
8. After power off your phone open FlahTool and browse for the scatter file your folder where are the recovery.img and scatter file.
9. Now comes the tricky part .
10. Load the scatter file and mark DA DL with check sum in SP Flash Tool v3. In SP Flash Tool v 5 dont need. They are allready selected. Recovery.img should appear checked.
10.1. I have updated the post with some custom scatter files for 4GB and 8GB Firmware. Iff you get diferent errors when you flash the recovery file use this custom scatter files.
11. Press Download NOT FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
12. Now, just now plug the cabble on your phone. Download should start and a green circle should appear.
13. After this you should have custom recovery TWRP installed.
14. Then boot directly to recovery your phone by pressing power with vol + and vol - butons together. Not Optional!
15. From TWRP flash Superuser.zip or SuperSU 2.xx. SuperSU is fixed. Works fine now.
16. Voila you have your KitKat rooted.
17. Now go to Magazin Play and download an RootChecker app and verify.
Hope this helped. For me worked with no mistake.
Waiting for feedback.
Update:
I have uploaded TWRP Corrected by Javum. Thanks Javum. And it is working on ROW 226 and 227 tested personaly by installing patches, superuser and making backups.

Try to use Firmware Upgrade buton.
Or: You need to edit the file MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt section USRDATA 0x48d80000 on USRDATA 0x58980000.

If the 12 point doesn't work it means that you don't have the driver installed or installed correctly. Check the drivers.

Your phone seems to be produced in 2014. For this phones must do this:
1. Must flash with another preloader.
Look for this ROM : P780_S136_140306_Lang.7z
Flash this Rom then OTA update.
Then tell me if it works.

ok, managed to boot the phone, but when got to home screen it says that my date is wrong....(1/1/2010).
auto-sync with network time....my date and time is back to normal...
shut down the phone (i didn't press the red button) and try to reboot into recovery (power+volumeup+volumedown)
............no twrp, i think (maybe stock recovery mode... some china word with android mascot as background...)
fortunately my phone was not bricked... but no twrp either.....so what is the problem..
thanks.

2. Copy superuser.zip or SuperSU on your SDCARD.
3. Disconnect your phone from PC.
4. Extract files from TWRP 2.7.1.1 archive on some folder on your PC.(Remember the folder )
5. In your folder that you extracted your archive you should find recovery.img and one scatter file.
6. Now you must have this FlashTool - SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119 or SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01. Not Optional.
7. Power Off your phone.
8. After power off your phone open FlahTool and browse for the scatter file your folder where are the recovery.img and scatter file.
9. Now comes the tricky part .
10. Load the scatter file and mark DA DL with check sum. Recovery.img should appear checked.
10.1. I have updated the post with some custom scatter files for 4GB and 8GB Firmware. Iff you get diferent errors when you flash the recovery file use this custom scatter files.
11. Press Download NOT FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
12. Now, just now plug the cabble on your phone. Download should start and a green circle should appear.

You can try SP-Flash tool. Today I successfully flashed stock ROM through it.
For SP_flash tool go to official site: https://spflashtool.com/ and download the latest Smartphone Flash Tool.
Download Stock ROM from https://repairmymobile.in/flash/yu5014-flash-file/, get the latest version (2018-12-04). I used the same file and it flashed successfully.
Instructions:
1. Download SP-Flash tool.
2. Download Stock ROM.
3. Unzip both files.
4. Get into SP-Flash tool folder and click on flash-tool.exe
5. In flash tool click on Scatter-Loading and select MT6739-Android-Scatter (It will be in the extracted Stock ROM folder).
6. Choose Download Only mode. (will be below scatter-loading file).
7. Click on Download (will have download symbol above it).
8. Switch off your mobile and take original USB cable of the phone.
9. Connect USB to phone, after switch off hold volume down and then connect USB to Laptop/PC.
10. Rest of the things will be taken care by SP_Flash tool.
11. After successful completion you will see a dialog.
12 Then unplug USB and switch on your mobile.
13. You will be greeted with Android and YU.
If you face further any problems you can reply to this message and sorry, it is a late reply.

Hello,
I'm currently trying to install lineage 17.1 and following the instructions from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/j7elte/install but after i install the recovery img it wont boot the factory reset menu.
This is my first time doing something like this, i'm not a power user so please be kind.
hello there, i see but can you please be more specific describing the problem, like attaching some pictures, what steps did you do or anything else that can be helpful, so the others can help your way out?
It was my fault, i didn't see it was volume up for recovery mode. But at the moment i have a much bigger issue. My device needs a firmware update but i cannot find the exact model. The one under the battery is just a basic version i presume so i cannot find the appropriate firmware.
what is it? j700f or j700m?
Just post the code you see that the above person posted.
It might be on the battery or on the box the phone came with.
It starts with SM-
J700h.
I downloaded a file from sammobile but it's single tar.md5 file don't know how to use it.
ah, you nneed odin, download it and put the tar.md5 file to AP field
Download Odin3
and dont forget to put the phone to download mode too
I recommend one of the patched versions cause they error less
1. Extract (un-rar) the firmware file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin) ***
2. Download Odin v3.14.4
3. Extract the Odin ZIP file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin)
4. Open Odin v3.14.4
5. Power OFF your S10+
6. Reboot Phone in Download Mode (1st plug-in USB-cable to your Phone) push Power + Volume Down buttons, while pushing them plug-in USB-cable to PC. Or use the command "adb reboot-bootloader".
7. Wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
8. Add the firmware files to their designated slots (AP in AP, BL in BL, CP in CP, HOME_CSC in CSC). USERDATA stays EMPTY!
10. Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes for the device to automatically restart.

okay then. just start? or do i need to check AP box?
Yeah, I couldn't type on my useless iPhone so I copied it from a text file I used to instruct people how to install firmwares with Odin.
Yeah only AP is needed so keep that in mind.
Although odin mode is red the bar is moving right now.
I'll update the result.
