Rooting Micromax Canvas A1 (Android One)

Requirements and Precursors

• Download Minimal FastBoot tool from here and extract the contents to a folder of your choosing. This will help you in setting up fastboot quickly and counter the need for installing the full Android SDK.
• You’ll have to have ADB drivers setup on your PC. Refer to these guides if you don’t have them already setup.
• Once ADB and FastBoot are setup, you’ll have to install your device specific drivers by connecting it to the PC via a USB cable. The drivers specific to your device will be automatically installed to your PC if you have a working Internet connection. If a problem arises in driver installation, just download these drivers and manually install them by pointing your PC’s Device Manager to them.
• Enable USB debugging on your device in the Developer Options menu by referring tothis post.
• Download SuperSU installable zip from here.
• Remember to backup your personal data and charge-up your Canvas A1.

Unlock Bootloader

• Connect your device to your Computer after enabling USB debugging from the above-mentioned steps. If the first time you connect your device to the PC and a pop-up like this appears on your Canvas, click on ‘Always allow’ and then OK.
• Now, open the FastBoot folder and right-click on an empty space while holding down the SHIFT key, and then click ‘Open Command Window here’.
• Next, in the Command prompt, type  the following code:

adb reboot bootloader

• Your device will now reboot into fastboot mode.
• The bootloader can now be unlocked by entering the following simple command

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot format userdata

• That’s it! your bootloader is now unlocked!

Install ClockWorkMod/TWRP/Philz Touch Recovery

• First and foremost, download the recovery you want to install from one of the below links:
  • ClockWorkMod v6.0.5.1
  • TWRP v2.8
  • PhilZ Touch v6.57.9
• Now extract recovery image from the zip file to the fastboot folder.
• Open a cmd command prompt and enter the following command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

• Done! Your phone now has a working recovery.

Root Micromax Canvas A1

• Start by copying the SuperSU installable update.zip to your device.
• Now, to boot into recovery, just open the command prompt and type:

adb reboot bootloader

• And now comes the time for the good old method of flashing SuperSU via recovery by browsing to its zip file. For this, go to ‘choose zip -> /external_sd’ and go ahead with the install.
• On reboot, you may or may not get a warning similar to ‘su may have been removed’, ignore that and click ‘No’.
• Once this is done, you’ll be sporting a rooted device!

The above tutorial, however much exhaustive or extensive it may seem, is the most explicit and comprehensive way till now to get your Canvas A1 rooted — all thanks to the committed members over at XDAdevelopers. Although other simpler methods might soon start cropping up; this methodology will have to do for the time being. The Micromax Canvas A1 is a promising device, and for veteran users of the Android OS, no device can be practical enough without root-access on it. So if you already have the device or are on the verge of getting it, this should definitely help you make it truly yours.
