[Guide][Marshmallow] Android 6.0 official update for Micromax Canvas A1 (AQ4501) - Micromax Canvas A1

Update: SPFlashTool flashable Marshmallow firmware file is now available. Build MOB30N.
OTA links are already there on xda, but here was no specific thread for Canvas A1 so i am writing one
Google has released the OTA files for Canvas A1 and other android one devices.
NOTE: To update your phone using OTA files your phone should be running Stock lollipop or atleast stock recovery. (Not applicable if using sp flash tool)
If you are running a custom rom or custom recovery then before proceeding to this guide you must revert back to stock lollipop using sp flash tool
Pre-requisites: 1.Your phone should be atleast 60% charged
2. Back up all important data (just to be safe)
Canvas A1 users can easily update their device by following method(s)
Method 1 (the usual method):
Step 1: Download the official Marshmallow OTA file from here https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota/google_aq4501sprout_aq4501/dc78fbefaf5f69cc4754751251d9ece094bc96e6.signed-sprout-mmx-MRA58M-from-LMY48M.zip
Step 2: Connect your smartphone to computer using the original USB cable.
Step 3: Copy and paste the OTA zip files to phone's storage and make a note of its location.
Step 4: Boot your smartphone into recovery mode or stock recovery: Disconnect the phone from computer, and then turn it off.
Press and hold both the Volume and the Power buttons until the display turns on and enters bootloader mode.
Hit the volume button to open the Recovery menu and then press the power button to select it. Your phone should now boot into recovery mode.
At this moment, a dead Android with an exclamation mark should appear on the screen. Now press and hold Power button for three seconds and then hit the Volume up button once to progress into recovery mode.
Step 5: Return to the main recovery screen and choose 'install update from sdcard'.
Step 6: Then select the OTA zip file using the volume buttons for navigation and the Power button to select any file or open a folder. After you select the zip file, confirm its installation and the update should start installing on your device.
Step 7: Once the installation is done, return to main screen of recovery. Choose Reboot system now to restart the phone and boot into the newly installed Android 6.0 Marshmallow OTA update from Google.
Voila!! You are running official Android 6.0 :laugh:
Method 2 (using sp flash tool, best method)
This method can be used even if you are running a custom rom. You can also use this method to unbrick Micromax Canvas A1.
Pre-requisites: Windows computer, USB cable, and most important "patience".
Step 1:
a) Download micromax driver.{thanks to @mohsin.r.munshi}
Extract its content, you will find an .exe file inside a folder "driver9401". Disable your antivirus and run the .exe file as administrator. (If you are using 64-bit windows, you will need to "disable driver signature enforcement". Google it)
b) Download SP Flash tool from my mediafire or from its official website. Extract it to any folder
c) Download SPflashTool flashable Marshmallow firmware . Extract the zip file. You will see the following files in it (similar not exact)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note the location of MT6582_Android_scatter.txt file
Step2: Goto the folder where you have extracted sp flash tool. Run flash_tool.exe
Step 3: In sp flash tool, Click on "scatter loading". Then locate and select "MT6582_Android_scatter.txt". SP Flash tool will load all firmware files from the folder where you have extracted the OTA files.
Step 4: Power off your phone. And REMOVE the battery. Now on SP flash tool, click on "Download".
(refer to screenshots given on this website. Ignore the steps given on this website, just refer screenshots)
Step 5: (pay attention to every word) Connect USB cable to your phone only. Then Press and HOLD volume down button and insert the other end of USB cable to your pc. Flashing will start automatically. Wait till you see "OK" message on your pc.
Step 6: Once you see "OK" message, disconnect your phone and reinsert your phone's battery. Turn ON your phone. The first boot will take longer than usual.
Congo! You just updated/unbricked your Micromax Canvas A1.

flash official lollipop rom using method 2 above

Hi.. I'm on CM13 now. But I don't have mobile data for some reason. So I want to flash stock ROM. But last time I tried flashing stock, it wiped my IMEI numbers. Luckily my warranty status was somehow reset. So I had to get the phone replaced. Does this have a chance to cause the same problem (wipe my IMEI numbers)??

In that case, i would suggest you to take a backup of your imei data using MTK Droid tool. Also copy your nvram folder straight from your phone to as many external storages as you can. Nvram (imei data) somehow becomes unrecognised after downgrading some phones.
Solution:
1. Use MTK droid tool to restore it from a previous backup.
or
2. locate nvram folder ( /data/nvram, correct me if i m wrong) DELETE it. Then paste a copy of your nvram folder that you copied when imei was not lost. DONT chmod. You will most probably get your network working (ensure that sim card was PRSENT and Radios were ON during this copy paste) within few seconds. I did this to restore imei on galaxy s4.
well, i have flashed 9 different mediatek phones using spflashtool, didnt lose imei in any.

Thanks! I'll post an update when I come around to flashing the stock ROM. Don't have the time now.

hi can i use these update for micromax unite2(8gb) from lolipop to marshmallow.

Firmwares are device specific. You CANNOT install a this on any other phone. You will brick your phone by installing a ROM which is not made for your device

Please update stock marshmallow link sir as soon as possible
.......
Thanks in advance

Micromax android one got hang at marshmallow logo.
My micromax android one got stuck at marshmallow logo. I tried to flash lollipop using SP flash as mention above in method 2. I connect my phone . My phone is successfully detected by my PC. But SP flash show no progress. why??? I follow all steps very carefully. Or is it not possible to install lollipop if your phone already has marshmallow?

That means your phone was not detected. Power off your phone. Load scatter file and then click on download button on so flashtool. Put one end of USB cable to your phone. Hold volume down and simultaneously put other end of USB cable to computer. If its connected, the progress bar at bottom will show progress. I am assuming you have installed all drivers.
I hope this helps.

Now, We Will Unlock The Bootloader,
Why to Unlock Bootloader?
1.) You can flash custom ROMs/Kernels
2.) You don't need to worry if the new firmware can be rooted or not as with unlocked bootloader u can always ROOT Your device
[ Before We Begin Unlocking Bootloader ]
Get the IMEI code for ur device: type *#06# in phone dialer to find it out, note only the digits (no dashes)
Make Sure The Fastboot Drivers Are Installed.
Make sure u have a windows PC with USB cable to connect the phone
Power down ur phone and keeping the Volume Up button pressed connect the USB cable to PC this will trigger FASTBOOT mode and windows
Will start driver installation, extract the above package and point the driver install to that location (usb_driver) folder
Once drivers are installed just disconnect cable and power on device.
[ How to Unlock ] (Official Way)
Video Link ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRH3pC7MhEA
For better understanding, I highly recommend you to watch the above video along with the instructions below:
1.) Download ‘Fastboot Drivers And Pacakges File For Xperia S’ file from → Here
2.) Extract the file you downloaded above on your PC. You’ll get the following three files:
drivers.zip
fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.zip
3.) Go to: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and read everything!
This will open a web page in your default browser. Scroll to the bottom of the Instructions on the page and you’ll see a link like “Continue”, click on it.
In the pop-up window click “Yes, I’m sure” and then in the next window click on both the checkboxes, and then click “I accept”.
4.) Now insert the details as per the instructions:
First 14 digits of your IMEI No. Do NOT enter the last digit (15th) in the box. To know your IMEI No. dial *#06# on your Xperia Arc.
Your Name
Your Email Address
Click Submit.
5.) You’ll get a KEY to unlock boot loader. Write it down somewhere you can remember, it will be used later.
6.) Switch off your phone.
7.) Now extract the “fastboot_with_Android_USB_file.zip” file you got in Step 2.2.
8.) Pick up your phone (it must be switched off) and hold the “Menu” button (the key at the bottom right of your phone), now while holding the “Menu” button connect your phone to your PC with an USB cable.
9.) Once connected — the LED light near the phone’s USB plug will turn blue. If it doesn’t — repeat the Step 8.
10.) Now to install the drivers do the following:
Extract the “drivers.zip” file you got in Step 2.1
Open “Device Manager” on your PC and look for “S1Boot Fastboot” under the head “Other devices”
Right-click on “S1Boot Fastboot” and select “Update Driver Software…”
Now select “Browse my computer for driver software” and select the folder where you’ve extracted all the three files you got in Step 2. Once done — click Ok.
Now click Next (Make sure you’ve ticked the “Include subfolders” checkbox).
If you see any Windows security warning box, don’t worry . Just select “Install this driver software anyway”
Wait for “Windows has successfully updated your driver software” message to appear on your screen. Now click Close.
11.) Open the “fastboot” folder from the file we extracted in Step 7.
12.) Now hold Shift and press mouse right click (Shift + Mouse Right Click) anywhere on the empty white space inside the “fastboot” folder. And then select “Open command window here” from the context menu.
13.) Now in the command prompt window type/paste the following:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version​
14.) It should return a value like “0.3”. This ensures that your device is correctly connected.
15.) Now type/paste the following line in the command prompt window:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY​
IMPORTANT! Replace the word “KEY” from the above line with the KEY that you received in Step 5. Then Hit Enter.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
16.) Now wait for the process to complete. Command prompt will show a “Finished” message when it will be completed.
17.)Once it’s done, disconnect the USB cable from your phone and switch it ON.
18.)Your phone’s boot loader should now be Unlocked.

Troubleshooting
If you experience a bootloop (phone constantly reboots and reboots on the boot screen) or a soft brick (powering on the phone shows an orange triangle with a phone and computer), don’t be afraid. XDA to the rescue!
For a bootloop:
Hold The Power Button And Volume Up Button
If You Hold For 3 Seconds = Soft Reset = 1 Viberation
If You Hold For 10 Seconds = Hard Reset = 3 Viberations***
Power on the Phone Again, Keep pressing Volume Up Button
Your phone will boot into recovery.
Select “Wipe data/ Factory reset”. (Volume Up for going up and Volume down to go down)
After the reset is done, select “Reboot system now”.
The phone will reboot and you should be all fine.
***Do Not Try Hard Reset Untill And Unless The Phone is Facing Major Problems,
For a soft brick:
You probably flashed some faulty firmware or firmware not meant for your device.
The File You Downloaded Must Be Incomplete.
Download the correct firmware and flash again.

Hi, I searched a lot for the way to flash a custom rom on my Xperia S. But now halfway through, I've got a problem. My device says it does not allow to unlock bootloader, so does that mean that there is no way I can flash a custom rom on my phone? :crying:

You can use only Stock based ROM for locked bootloaders, not the unlocked bootloaders one.

You cannot flash .zip files using flashtool. You can flash only Firmwares or kernel files using flashtool.

Which recovery are You using? The 2.8.1.0? It doesn't work with Xperia S. Use the 2.8.0.1 version.

Wait i will let you know the complete story.
so what happened is
first i was on CM11 for few mnths then switched to MIUIv5 for 1 month. everything was working fine
but when day before yesterday i flashed PA rom i am not able to access the recovery now (previously there was TWRP in my XS). now i can't flash any zip file
when i reboot to recovery it gets stuck on black blank screen. Even the recovery apps like twrp are not working. when i tried to install recovery through app, the app crashes.
As recovery is not working i cant even switch to other roms or any zip file.
i am totally stuck on this ROM
i asked this que on sony mobile group on FB (created by some sony fans), one of the member said "probably this is not ROM fault but the kernel fault. consider trying new kernel"

If You are on Beta 6 of PA, it doesn't have twrp or cwm. Flash the twrp v2.8.0.1 by terminal emulator method.

Ah yes, even that one doesn't have recovery.
Unlocked bootloader is must.
You need an Android app. You can find the app here. Also, here is the page of the twrp.
What You need to do is, download the twrp from here. Rename it to fotakernel.img .
Then copy it to Your sdcard.
Then run the following commands on the terminal emulator app:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
TWRP installed!

How to root Lenovo A2010 and a few custom ROMs

The usual warning: I am not responsible if something goes wrong...
But it would be almost impossible for you to totally brick your phone by following this procedure.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rooting Lenovo A2010
1. Download the SuperSU zip file, for installing root through custom recovery: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu (latest) or http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable (stable) and copy it to the SD card in your phone (or download it directly with the phone). Do not extract any files from the zip file, you will use it as it is.
2. Download a custom Recovery like TWRP for Lenovo A2010: https://yadi.sk/d/0WaK6e4Mkx5cx
Extract the files from the archive to your PC. In fact you need only 2 files, "Recovery.img" and "MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt"
3. Windows: Install the MTK VCOM USB driver, if it's not already installed on your computer: https://yadi.sk/d/c4o7TaGLreNzx , extract the files from the archive to a folder in your PC, then install the driver.
One way to install the driver is to turn off your phone, remove the battery, start the Device Manager in Windows, then connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable. A device called "MT65xx Preloader" will appear for a couple of seconds in Device Manager. Right click it before it disappears, select "Install driver", then "Have Disk" (the exact commands may vary depending on your Windows version), choose the folder where you extracted the downloaded archive.
You can also download and run this driver auto installer program, which will install more drivers, not only the MTK VCOM driver: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/31d13c2d78d9/Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00.zip
You may need to turn off driver signature verification though, as some of the drivers are not digitally signed.
Linux: see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/tutorial-how-to-setup-spflashtoollinux-t3160802
4. Download the program SP Flash Tool from here: http://spflashtool.com/ and just extract the files from the archive. No installation is needed.
Depending on your Windows language, you might want to make sure there's no non-Latin characters in the path. If that is your case, a short path like C:\flashtool is the best choice.
5. Run SP Flash Tool to install the custom Recovery.
You can watch this Youtube video, the difference is that you will only have one file to flash, the Recovery file.
You should also note that the phone has to be turned off, with or without battery, and at 0:35 in the video, when he clicks "Download", he then connects the phone to the computer.
6. Reboot to Recovery by holding the Volume Up button pressed while the phone is booting.
In the boot menu that appears, move the selection cursor to the [Recovery Mode] option, by using the Volume Up button, then press the Volume Down button to select that option.
You should now get into TWRP Recovery, that you flashed in step 5.
7. From TWRP Recovery, install the previously downloaded file (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.xx.zip).
8. Reboot. Your phone is now rooted.
Method #2 (no PC needed):
The latest version of KingRoot seems to be working on Lenovo A2010.
After rooting you can install TWRP through rashr.
But if you have a PC and can install SP Flash Tool, I would still recommend the first method above.
Custom Roms for Lenovo A2010
All credit for these ROMs goes to the guys from the 4pda..ru forum: Flasher_23, vif1, SnowCatPDA Temik23455 and others.

1. Download link: https://yadi.sk/d/IDcbobIQqU9hs
Copy the zip file to the External or Internal SD card in your phone (or download it directly with the phone).
2. Reboot into TWRP recovery as described above (Rooting - step 6).
3. Backup the NVRAM partition, in case you haven't done so already. Copy the backup file to a safe place. This will allow you to easily restore your IMEI, in case it gets lost during the flashing process.
Even better, do a full backup of the whole system, so you can restore it later.
4. While still in TWRP, do a factory reset (Wipe) and then install the zip file you downloaded in step 1.

3. Reboot into TWRP recovery as described above (Rooting - step 6).
4. Backup the NVRAM partition, in case you haven't done so already. Copy the backup file to a safe place. This will allow you to easily restore your IMEI, in case it gets lost during the flashing process.
Even better, do a full backup of the whole system, so you can restore it later.
5. In TWRP, do a factory reset (Wipe) and then install the zip file you downloaded in step 1.

[More coming soon]
really great work,thanks a lot!I rooted mt phone,I would like to ask this,other ROMs you have checked offer any overclocking or different kernel with extra features?
You're so great . Thank you so much :laugh: . I'll ask questions later. :good:
---------- Post added at 04:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 AM ----------
What's the best custom rom for you?
These two that I posted so far seem to be the best, that's why I posted them first.
The second one (UmiOS) apparently has a random bug, the loudspeaker mode during calls wouldn't work sometimes. I haven't noticed that personally when I tested it, but it was reported by others.
I'm waiting for some major bugs to be fixed in CM, then I'll post it here too.

I don't think ROM development for our phone reached that level, so no custom kernels or overclocking yet.
These are just ports of ROMs originally developed for similar phones.
Sent from my Lenovo A2010-a using Tapatalk
I see,well with root I can still do some adjustments to the CPU operation, so to achieve a bit better performance. the good thing is that I can finally move apps to SD card,which was a disadvantage of the stock ROM
Sent from my Lenovo A2010-a using Tapatalk
Could you show some picture about these roms?
Why?
Until now, I can't figure out why my laptop doesn't recognize the driver of my device. Even when it is powered on. Before I installed different drivers from different sources (not from the russian forum), the drivers were fully recognized. I don't know how to revert it back. What should I do? I already tried uninstalling, reinstalling drivers. But no luck. Tomorrow, I will try to check if the drivers will be recognized on other computers.

Wtf. I rooted my phone. And it is successful. Now I tried to install X5pro, It says successful. But when I try to reboot, It says no OS installed? I tried to turn it on but it is bootlooped. Help?!
It's really scaring me. Now I am restoring my system. Anyway, thank you because I successfully rooted my phone because of you guys.

SUCCESSFULLY RECOVERED. But why do that happen to me? I followed your instructions carefully. I downloaded the zip file, and it is not corrupted. Then I boot my phone into recovery, the wipe > format(or whatever), then after that, I installed the zip file. Which is the "INSTALL_X5_Pro-R09.zip".
Another is at the first place, It says "No MD5 file found. Skipping md5 blah blah", then it will be successful. But it shows no Os installed.

No need to be scared, especially if you are still able to get into recovery, and you made a backup.
And even if you erased the recovery by mistake and/or didn't make any backup, there would still be nothing to be scared about, it's very easy to reflash the stock ROM once you have SP Flash Tool working.
By the way, just in case someone might need it, I'll post the latest stock ROM here too, for flashing with SP Flash Tool.
...
I'm not sure what went wrong, but you could just try downloading the file again and flashing it again. It should work.

Stock ROM Lenovo A2010 (S256)
This is for flashing with SP Flash Tool, so besides reverting to stock ROM and unrooting, it's also suitable for unbricking the phone.
Flashing the stock ROM will also replace the custom Recovery with the stock Recovery! If you don't want this, you can uncheck the Recovery option in SP Flash Tool.
Download link:
https://yadi.sk/d/TvdSyQVlnBASE
How to flash:
If you used SP Flash Tool already, there's no need to read this, you should already know what to do
1. Download the file from the link above. Extract the archive to a folder in your PC.
2. Turn off the phone. Pull out the battery, then put it back in the phone.
Or don't put it back yet, this should work with, or without battery.
Alternatively, just wait a while after you turned off the phone.
3. Start SP Flash tool.
4. Load the scatter file in SP Flash Tool. It is called "MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt" and, as usual, it is found in the same folder with all the other files to flash (target_bin).
5. Click "Download" in SP Flash Tool.
6 Connect the phone with the USB cable.
7. Wait for the process to finish. Restart the phone.

I can't try anything since my original e4 had ghost touch issues, so I haven't unlocked the bootloader on my new one because I want to keep the warranty

taking firmware backup doesn't void your device warranty. instead this process doesn't require rooting or unlocked bootloader :fingers-crossed:
isn't it possible to do a spflashtool readback if we have a scatter file ...
---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------
My device ( woods)(E4) isn't using this chipset ? shouldn't we try to edit a scatter file from the correct chipset and pulling the block map from adb ?
I want to get a valid scatter to do a readback of an unpatched boot image and stock rom using spflashtools and then patching boot with magisk .
Then we could flash back to stock etc etc ...can any of you who rooted woods use terminal or adb and pull the correct mount points so we can create a scatter for the 2GB/16GB woods variant .

@KevMetal
you can do this by following the main post
it's a miracle dump so obviously you can't make it spflash tool flashable. but our device have newer mtk chipset MT6737M and miracle tool isn't capable of flashing factory images to newer chipset you need a dongle to complete the flashing process. if we make this process more simple than you need to follow these simple steps.
dump firmware with miracle tool. its in .bin format change the extention to .img and this firmware is ready for flashing with fastboot tool.
do not flash these files in fastboot mode *pgpt.img* and "preloader.img*
if you still want to flash pgpt.img the correct way of flashing this file is "fastboot flash partition pgpt.img"
I am unable to backup using this guide as miracle tool fails to detect my phone. I followed the guide thoroughly but the tool shows "Waiting for USB Port..." two times and then "none usbport, maybe driver not installed". My phone shows white LED when I connect it as per instructions in OP.

Battery must be removed !! When doing backup through miracle.
You have to press vol. Down button multiple times when device is connected with laptop.

I did remove the battery. Also, do you need to press the volume up button or down? I pressed the start button as soon as COM & LPT disappeared from Device Manager. I also tried to press the volume down button multiple times as instructed by you but still no success.
Can someone please share the stock backup of XT1760 taken using this method?

why did you brick while flashing recovery ? didn't you make a backup before flashing ? either way since there are so many SKU versions it would be better to make your own backup .
if your phone isn't booting after twrp it is because you didn't flash the no dm-verity zip
if the one you got isn't working try the no dm-verity and good instructions for installing in my thread for SKU xt1762 ....
to reboot to recovery hold power and volume down ...you won't go directly to recovery but first to bootloader ...using the volume key "scroll" until you see it says recovery and select that option using power button
when in recovery flash no dm -verify zip
don't flash stock files from my post cos I think they might not be cross compatible between variants for stock only custom roms .
otherwise download a scatter file and stock rom from google and the interwebs and flash your phone using sp flashtools and scatter file .

No, I didn't brick my device. Actually, I wasn't able to backup my stock ROM using this guide, so I flashed TWRP and backed up my stock ROM using that. I just need stock backup so that I can go back to pure stock if required.

if you backed up using twrp why would you need pure stock ? there is very little chance you would need stock recovery and boot because you are way more likely to get Oreo via custom rom .....the backup you made in twrp is more than enough in my opinion ...anyways

The main reason is stock recovery, even stock boot was backed up by TWRP. Stock phones get higher rates while reselling.
There is an OTA update notification in my XT1760 in India. Can anyone please share the stock recovery?

Buddy here you done a small mistake. Also you don't bother to read whole thread in a respective manner just scrolling and scrolling. When COM & LPT disappear from device manager. You need to press start button in miracle tool not the vol. Down or up or power button any more. As present COM & LPT port disappears a new port has been established as soon as you press the start button in miracle tool. In first attempt COM &LPT contain MTK USB Port driver as soon as it's removed a new port appears, the actual driver software we need MTK Preloader usb com port#7. Hope you understand it very well

I read the OP thoroughly and followed the instructions to the letter. But somehow I failed to backup my device. That is why I have been continuously requesting you to share the stock backup if possible for you. Please oblige if not too inconvenient for you. We are here to help each other.
Hello guys,
can I use this method for my moto XT1771. My Androind version is 7.1.1 .Thanks.
