Root Spice Mi 530 and Install Clockworkmod Recovery

Micromax android phones have seemingly took a lot of the market share in the mid-end price range. This can be gauged by the absence of buzz in the launch of new mobile phones by other companies. Spice Mi 530 is another such phone, which hadn’t received any development stuff since the month or two of its launch, well, not till day before yesterday when agmtpd released cwm for the device.
