Prerequisites To Root Micromax Canvas A111 Smartphone​1. 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.

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
