Micromax Canvas Doodle a111 is a 3G Android smartphone with a 5-inch TFT HD Touchscreen display. The phone is powered with 1.2 GHz Quad-Core Processor and it runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly bean OS. With 8 mega pixel rear view camera, the phone offers high quality image capturing.

2) How to root:
Prerequisites To Root Micromax Canvas A111 Smartphone1. Take complete backup of your personal data in the Micromax device using appropriate apps. Although the root process won’t affect them, its safe to keep a backup.
2. Remove all the Antivirus applications installed on your smartphone for virus protection since sometimes they will cause trouble while the rooting process is going on.
3. Charge your phone battery and keep its backup level above 80% as the rooting process drains the battery. If you don’t have enough battery backup and your device gets switched off during the rooting, then surely it will get bricked. Avoid it by having a good battery backup.
4. ***Enable USB Debugging mode in your device by following the path: Settings -> Developer Option -> USB Debugging.
5. *** Make sure you have drivers for your phone Download from here http://www.androidrootguide.com/micromax-usb-driver-download-get-drivers-micromax-smartphones

5) Troubleshooting
a)Unbricking
If you are reading this you have a problem. Your phone has become a brick. But do not despair yet as there are a few ways to unbrick your phone. Let us first determine whether it is a soft brick or a hard one.
**Soft Brick: Basically it means your phone is bootlooping or showing a blank screen but you can still go to recovery/download mode. The easiest way to fix this (and determine if you have a soft vs hard brick) is turn off the phone and then press the volume up button and powerbutton (keeping vol up pressed). If you see recovery no problem flash stock rom
**Hard Brick: If you cannot enter download or recovery mode then you may have a hard-brick. This is not a fun situation to be in but there is a fix that may work. It involves lots of linux commands and is not for newbies but then if you are hard-bricked what have you got to lose.
Here is the guide done by ChinmaySharma to get back if u hard bricked

How to Install Clockwork Mod Recovery In Micromax Canvas Fun A76
Before installing Cwm in Canvas Fun A76 we should know what cwm is and what are uses of cwm
What is Cwm ?
ClockworkMod, abbreviated as CWM, is a popular custom recovery for Android phones. it is a alternative to the stock recovery which is given us by manufacturer pre-installed in our android phone .
Where and Why is Cwm Recovery Used ?
ClockworkMod recovery allows you to perform several advanced recovery, restoration, installation and maintenance operations on your Android device that aren’t possible with the stock recovery, and is one of the most common ways used to gain root access, back up device data, install custom ROMs, kernels, themes & mods, and more.
How to install cwm recovery ?
- FIRST ROOT YOUR MOBILE.
- INSTALL BUSYBOX ON MOBILE.
- INSTALL MTK DRIVERS ON YOUR WINDOWS PC or install pda net
- DOWNLOAD latest MTK DROID TOOLS.
- RUN MTK DROID TOOL.EXE AS ADMINISTRATOR
- GO TO SETTINGS>ABOUT AND TOUCH 1 TO 5 TIMES ON BUILD NUMBER. AND YOU CAN SEE DEVELOPER OPTIONS APPEAR ON SETTINGS AND TICK ON USB DEBUGGING.
After doing the above steps do the following :-
1.Connect your switched on rooted mtk device to your computer and open MTKDroid tool, the tool will recognize your device and connect to it, if the colour indicator in the bottom left corner is green, you already have root shell,and can go on to the next step, if it is yellow, click on the root button at the bottom, and wait for the progress bar, if the indicator stays yellow, or you get an error message, this probably means you do not have Busybox installed, you can install it from the google play store. When the indicator turns to green you have root shell which is necessary for this operation.
2.Next click on the tab 'root,backup,recovery' and select 'to use boot from phone' then click on 'recovery and boot' and shortly after a dialogue box will appear asking if you want to 'make cwm recovery automatically' click yes
3.The tool will then create the recovery and another dialogue box will appear asking to 'install created recovery to phone', click yes.
4.And finally the tool will ask to reboot into recovery mode, click yes and the device will reboot
into CWM recovery so you can check the installation was successful

HOW TO ROOT Blu Grand M
Disclaimer: I hold no responsibility over what happens to your phone during the beginning,in the middle, and after you follow this guide
backup your files, if you don't then you're about to lose em.
(keep in mind, work in progress,sort of... ?, your choice to follow this guide)
DON'T 100% TRUST THIS YET, BECAUSE THERE IS NO CUSTOM ROM OR ANY WAY I KNOW TO ALLOW YOU TO INSTALL STOCK OS AND KEEP BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED AT THE SAME TIME. APOLOGIES. YOU CAN TRY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT IF YOU WANT. I DON'T HAVE THE DEVICE TO WORK ON THIS.
--start--
Now, before you start. I feel that you need at least a VALID reason to root.
like, why do you want to root? is it for some app that requires root privileges? cause it'd be pretty useless to go
through all this without a proper reason .---. , I'm going to divide the steps into 4 Chapters (hehehe)
also the entire reason why this post exist is because I was helping a friend gain ROOT privileges cause they have an Blu grand M haha..
I don't see that many posts regarding this.. this is just to help people , if you already knew how to root your phone from the beginning then good for you.
Chapter 01: Getting prepared!
Just, WHAT are the things you need to begin rooting exactly???
well(downloads in here aswell):
a computer
a cord for your Blu Grand M
SD card
TWRP recovery for Blu Grand M from Original forum post here , by Laelson , here's a google drive link
SuperSu flashable zip file > http://www.supersu.com/download

ADB > https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
STOCK ROM > https://www.needrombd.com/Rom/blu-grand-m-firmware/
Chapter 02: Getting started!!
enable developer options by going to settings > system > about phone > keep tapping "build number"
enable "usb debugging" and"OEM Unlocking" in developer options
plug phone to PC
open CMD on your computer then do CD <driverletter>:<into ADB folder>
in cmd , type "adb reboot bootloader" and press enter
put .IMG file into same folder as ADB
on CMD do "fastboot oem unlock"
choose YES
your phone is wiped.
Chapter 03: Flashing TWRP and using SP flash
now, with 2nd chapter done. and the IMG file of the recovery is in the same folder adb is inuse the cmd and type "fastboot flash recovery <nameofFILE>.img then reboot to twrp and then POWER OFF , once its off. open SP Flash Tool extract the downloaded STOCK ROM to its own folder and on SP flash tool and select "scatter loading file" and locate the scatter file of the stock rom after that. you should see on the big box that there are alot of things. unckeck "recovery" and click "download" , and wait for it to finish once it is finished unplug and BOOT PHONE INTO RECOVERY
Chapter 04: Flashing SUPERSU and reboot ;D
make sure you put your supersu zip in your sd card or phone storage by now, if not then put it in there first , ok so tap on install and locate SUPERSU zip, flash then reboot ;D
CREDITS

Just left my phone until it was completely extinguished ... Then I re - shipped it .... It works now .... Maybe work with you ... but never never Succeed with me ..
Will this work with the Blu Grand 5.5 HD as it has the same chipset, processor and GPU? It has a different screen size and resolution
Hi all, I just want to let you know that
* yes, it does work, my friend was able to install it and boot into twrp but so far I have not seen a proper custom ROM for the device I was helping my friend with. so we quit (he eventually got a new google pixel phone anyway)
note: yes, we have installed TWRP and booted into it. but someone has to: make custom rom for device or try to find a way to install STOCK OS and keep bootloader unlocked at the same time. will update OP to warn everyone. sorry.
P.S: sorry for the really late reply, was busy with life.
Hi bro! I tell you that the terminal that I have now, I CANNOT flash anything, it has the BootLoader closed and I can't penetrate or delete it. Any suggestions? Scripts commands do not work, they issue an error message.
