[SIZE=+1]Q1: How do I update Micromax A110 to official Jelly Bean?[/SIZE]There are 3 options available to you:
Get it updated from nearest Micromax service center.
Flash the official rom using sp flash tool.
Flash the clockworkmod zip.
[SIZE=+1]Q2: How to root Jelly Bean updated Micromax A110?[/SIZE]If you update your phone to Jelly Bean using the third method I have listed above, then you don't need to root your device as the zip you flashed is pre-rooted. Otherwise, you first need to flash the clockworkmod recovery using flash tools first, and then flash the su binaries and app. A guide is present here.​
[SIZE=+1]Q3: How to root Micromax A110 on ICS?[/SIZE]The phone can be easily rooted using Bin4ry's rooting tool. Install drivers present in the internal storage of your phone on your pc.​
[SIZE=+1]Q4: What is rooting? Should you root your device?[/SIZE]Rooting gives you access to system files, and you can edit the system files the way you want. Rooting isn't needed by everyone, it is recommended only if you are comfortable with tech toys. Rooting allows you to enjoy a plethora of features, and a lots of root-only apps.​
[SIZE=+1]Q5: What is clockworkmod/twrp recovery?[/SIZE]Clockworkmod/TWRP recoveries are custom recoveries. Thhey replace your stock recovery and make it possible to take nandroid backups. Flashing zip files, even unsigned ones, are possible.​
[SIZE=+1]Q6: How to Flash TWRP/CWM Recovery?[/SIZE]If your phone is rooted, use Mobile UNcle MTK Tools to flash the zip to your device. Otherwise, use SP Flash Tools to flash the recovery to your device.​
[SIZE=+1]Q7: How to get out of a soft brick?[/SIZE]Flash any ROM using Flash tool. Or restore any Clockworkmod/TWRP backup you have.​
[SIZE=+1]Q8: Which custom rom is the best?[/SIZE]No Custom ROM is best for everyone. Because tastes differ. So, what someone else likes, you might not. The ones quite popular and highly appreciated are JMP and Suvi ROM.​
[SIZE=+1]Q9: How to use SP Flash tools to flash stuffs?[/SIZE]This is a good guide to use SP Flash tools to flash roms and other stuffs on your device.​
[SIZE=+1]Q10: Any good file host where we can host files for free?[/SIZE]Devhost i.e. www.d-h.st provides a free file hosting service with no bandwidth limit, one of the major irks of Dropbox.​

dude this thread is for canvas 2 only AND I CAN PROVIDE YOU FULL STOCK ROM ... AS CANVAS 2 COME IN THE BOX

Dude.. No offence but this is not the section to post this.. There is section called Que and Ans,.. you may raise this query there and it will be addressed ......
Also to give you a quick ans.. You can backup the device actual ROM using CWM on rooted device (taking iinto considerationg that you know how to root the phone and installl CWM).. This back up will be created on your SD card.. The same can later be used to restore in case wanna revert back or if any challange in installing the new ROM.
HIT THANKS if I helped you.... It will motivate me to help more

Hi Avi,
I have stock Rom on my Xolo Q3000 as now I am not sure if I update from Jelly bean to Kitkat then my Application memory will increase or not. If I do OTA update by Xolo then what will be my Application memory?
Do we need to take any additional steps to increase internal app memory to 4 GB or is it Just as easy as updating via OTA or From downloaded Kitkat update from Xolo site and copying it to SDCARD.

Hi Avi,
Also if I just want to increase internal application memory, Can i use this application on Jelly Bean. Is there any dependency on build number of phone?

U need to wipe data otherwise phone wont boot. then u need to flash phone with sptools.
I suggest u get some knowledge of flashing stock rom from spflash tools.
just read this or this thread - install stock firmware section.
If u update to kitkat ur app storage will increase to 4gb - update via sptools.
if u update via OTA sometimes app storage remains same. (its only sometimes)
If u wanna thank just press the thanks button.:good::good:

Done Increasing memory to 7GB .. Thanks bro ..
So now if I update Kitkat from SDCARD method which is mentioned on XOLO Website (Copy update.zip on SDCARD) my Internal memory will still be 7 GB or It will reduce to 4 GB as you mentioned earlier.

There are more chances of reduction to 4GB but sometimes it can remain as it is.
To use the update.zip u need to have stock recovery and not custom recovery like CWM, philz etc.
