How to install Jelly Bean Custom ROM on Micromax A90S:
- First of all, you need to root your Micromax A90S and install clockworkmod recovery on it. Obviously, skip this step if you have already done that.
- You will have to flash Blu Vivo's JB firmware on your A90S otherwise it won't boot when you flash the ZhaoBlastJB rom on it. There is a good pictorial guide to help you do that here. This is the more difficult part of this guide. It is smooth sailing ahead.
- Download the ZhaoBlastJB ROM and transfer it to your device's sd card.
- Reboot into clockworkmod recovery on your mobile. Not sure how to do this? Switch off your phone and press and hold the key combination for your device. Generally, it is something like Volume Up + Power or Volume Down + Power button.
- When you get to cwm recovery, use volume keys to scroll up and down and power key to select. Using the mentioned keys, select the Install zip from sd card option.
- Browse to the location where you pasted the rom in step 3 and select it.
- When the recovery is done with flashing the new rom on your device, reboot your phone and enjoy the Jelly Bean sweetness on your phone.
