6.0.1

While on fastboot type fastboot devices. Then follow on-screen instructions to unlock bootloader and then
1)Flash twrp recovery through fastboot.
2)Download Thunderzap kernel by varun.chitre and flash it through twrp.
2) Open twrp recovery and flash SuperSu.zip from this link : https://userscloud.com/jh6q7m9sdaqe

Root Canvas A1 without unlock or custom recovery [Tutorial]

I'm not sure if someone has posted this before. But every root tutorial I see for canvas a1 and other android one devices says that you have to install custom recovery. This is useless and risky considering how android one is like nexus, with infinite freedom.
Here's how to root Micromax Canvas A1 (and probably other android one devices too, I have only this one) without even unlocking your bootloader. You'll need adb, and fastboot binaries.
First download any of these recoveries by @varun.chitre15 : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=19345 (that's your recovery.img)
Then download the SuperSU script from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 (that's your UPDATE-SuperSU-*.zip)
Then in terminal (or command prompt)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img
The recovery you downloaded will boot. On the phone, choose install zip -> install zip from sideload. Then come back to terminal and
Code:
adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip #or whatever it is named
Your phone must now get rooted without you changing anything dangerous. At least it did on my canvas a1. And I'm waiting for the Lollipop update now. Meanwhile you might have to install xposed framework.
not very clear
Hello i am just a beginner i want to know how to install fastboot and adm and if you can make a video thanks in advance
Yes, It can be done in this way, but in my opinion it would be more risky..
In case you bricked your device(Flash wrong kernal or incorrect rom) or its not booting up and you have a unlocked boot-loader. You would not be able to flash stock rom from SP tools. with unlocked boot-loader / preloader SP tool would not detect your device.
But i cant see any terminal in my boot up

Installing CyanogenMod on AndroidOne

I have a Micromax Canvas A1, an AndroidOne device running Lollipop 5.1.1.
I have never rooted a phone before but do have an idea about it.... I need help as to how to flash CyanogenMod on my device. I found the download file but the CyanogenMod installer does not support my device; and what is the difference between sprout4 and sprout8 ?
What is TWRP and ClockworkMod?
I want install CyanogenMod do I need to root first? I don't know anything about flashing recoveries
.... if someone could please help...
First of all root your device... After rooting successfully instal cwm or twrp or philz recovery in your device and then go to recovery mode and flash the cyanogen mod rom files...but be careful to have a search with the terms that is unknown to you because anything that is performed wrongly can be very harmful for your device and it may cause damage and result into hardbrick....

Please anyone help me with how I am going to root my androidone phone I have never rooted any one before
Rooting, no problem!!!
If you are totally noob, then yu should download and install android one toolkit from the given link
http://www.mediafire.com/download/l8590x9kj779gan/Android_One_Toolkit_Update_1.2.1.exe
But you should have .NET FRAMEWORK 4.0 or above than that if you don't have it just take it from given link
http://www.freewarefiles.com/downloads_counter.php?programid=55008
After downloading and installing above applications you just open the android one toolkit, then click on ROOT button given on Rooting section.
https://www.google.co.in/imgres?img...wxLCI4ONNM&ei=Hbh7VujBDafgmAXxp7-wBg&tbm=isch
see the above picture
then yur mobile will be rooted and after that yu just flash the custom recovery like twrp, philz or cwm.
After all these procedures your mobile will be ROOTED and you are free to install any custom rom, custom kernel or many tweaks
GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR JOURNEY FROM A NOOB TO A GEEK.
:good::good::good:
If you don't have any comuter or laptop then you should try kingoroot or any one click root applications like kingroot, towel root etc. but personally i don't suggest it for MM cuz it dont work on it...:cyclops:

Yes. It's complex because of TWRP.

Thanks for the answer, i already saw this thread but as I already said I'm not a big Expert in this topic, so that guide in the thread is too complex and short for me (and for other most likely too...)
Maybe you can explain it more precisly to us?
I would be very greatful for this!
Or if you know a way too archieve what i want but loose twrp and data... I wouldn't mind. I dont Need twrp and my Phone is New... So
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards
Alex

You can't do it simpler. Mostly because you've got to get back to stock for the OTA.
You can do it different. Get the fastboot. Flash that (don't erase userdata). Then install Magisk and TWRP again.
Not every release gets a fastboot but 11.0.4.0 did so you have this option.
Can you explain this more for me pls?
- What exact files do I need?
- what exactly should i do with these files? (flash with terminal, TWRP, Slot A, Slot B, etc.....)
- is it relevant which version of Android 9 i have?
you would help me alot, if you explain it in detail so that i can do it.
I already tried in android 10 unlocking bootloader and flashed the "disable force encryption" but got stuck on booting screen.
Pls tell me how exactly i should do what, and i will post my results
Thanks !
Best Regards,
Alex
Recomendations
Hello,
I just updated from Android 9 stock ROM, to Android 10 with a custom ROM.
I followed this two YouTube guides from the same user:
How to root and install TWRP:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy9Z_NN_7Tg&list=LLm7cWm_1QXORlLa5XeTETUw&index=12&t=365s
How to install custom ROM(In my case I installed Evolution X with Android 10 following these steps):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0pcmA_ew-Y&list=LLm7cWm_1QXORlLa5XeTETUw&index=13&t=173s
**Advise**
- Use the same files and versions that he uses, If you use/do something different, you are going to have some problems.
What I'm currently running on my Mi A2 Lite:
- Evolution X ROM(Android 10) -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/development/rom-evolution-x-3-3-t4014685
- Nitrogen Kernel r3 -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/development/r1-nitrogen-kernel-mi-a2-lite-t4011019
Everything has been very stable at the moment(1 week and lots of gaming and restarts and tests), so I feel fine sharing this.
Best,
delokt

Install instructions in that thread. TL;DR Run the flash_all_keeping_userdata script to upgrade to the version you downloaded. 11.0.4.0 is what you want.
You have Magisk and TWRP. Install them the same way you did before. Go read their threads if you forgot or use the last part of my guide.
Hello Friends, i have good news, i successfully updated my Phone to android 10 and keep TWRP and magisk!
I did the following steps:
- clean install of fastbood v.11.0.4. Android 10 via Mi-Flashtool
- powershell adb: fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-dees_troy-daisy.img
- TWRP should open on Mi a2 lite. go to advanced and activate adb sideload
- powershell: adb sideload twrp-installer-3.3.1-dees_troy-daisy.zip
TWRP should now be installed.
Then i tried a reboot system and got into the welcome screen, so it booted.
What i did next is, the magisk v20.4 zip file move to sd card or internal storage of the device and flash it trough TWRP.
DONE!
now your phone should reboot to system. It now has Android 10 and magisk installed and working!
Hope i can help someone else with this.
