I posted a method to update your Micromax A116 Canvas HD using SP Flash Tools just a few minutes back. but if you have a rooted A116 with clockworkmod recovery installed on it, I bet you will find this one easier. What's interesting is the fact that if everything goes as expected, you won't even need a pc for updating your Canvas HD to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
Pre-requisites:
Pre-requisites:
- A rooted Micromax A116 Canvas HD with clockwrokmod recovery
- Internet connection
Update Micromax A116 Canvas HD to Android 4.2 using Clockworkmod Recovery:
- Download the clockworkmod recovery flashable zip of the Android 4.2 official rom here. Please be cautioned that this rom has been tweaked a bit and isn't exactly stock, but is not a custom rom either.
- Switch off your Canvas HD. Press Volume Up + Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously till you boot into recovery mode.
- Using Volume Up and Down keys to scroll through the list of options available in the recovery, get to the Backup and Restore option and select Backup. This will create a backup of your current rom, which can be restored in case anything goes wrong.
- Once the backup is completed, select Wipe Data/Factory Reset. Then, go to Advanced and select Wipe Dalvik Cache.
- Go to Install zip from sdcard and locate the rom file.
- Confirm your action and let the flashing process complete.
- Go to Advacned and select Wipe Battery stats and then Fix permissions.
- Reboot your phone. During the first boot, let TPupgrade do its thing and *don't* touch the screen (even to press the OK button that pops up on your screen). After 5 minutes or when a message saying Upgrade was successful appears on your phone, power off your phone.
- Perform a final reboot and you are done.
Tip: If you are using TWRP recovery, select the appropriate options and you will be able to update your phone without any problem.
