From Micromax FTP you can keep track of software updates, download and install when needed. MMX has come up with V2 ROM version for Micromax A110 which is ICS (Android 4.0) but with certain improved features.
The V2 ROM will fix the dial pad issue, I am not sure what that is, cause I am using the A110 and did not face any issue with the dial pad. Another interesting change is the SD card space allocation that has been changed from 2GB to 1GB and 1GB is now assigned for internal storage, instead of 503MB as on my A110 handset.
Also note that new A110 handsets that are now being shipped come loaded with the V2 ROM. To upgrade this ROM just head on to their FTP site.
** Sorry the link is removed as requested by Micromax **
Please follow the same lower / upper case for user / password as mentioned above. The file size is 236 MB and by the time it gets downloaded, check if battery % is over 50 percent, if not keep it on charger.
Before you proceed do note that this process will flash the ROM and all data on the device will be lost, so take a backup if need. I usually store all data on SD card and my contacts / calendar are always synchronized with Gmail and hence I am never worried about losing the data.
If it’s too much for you, you can always visit the Micromax service center and let them update your handset.
What you will need!
- Visit the FTP site, enter the A110 -> SW version -> V206121 folder and download the rar file. It’s around 250 MB. Once it is downloaded unrar it and put the folder in a directory say c:/MMXA110/update/ on your PC.
- No go to A110 -> Download Tool -> and download the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1220.01.zip once downloaded unzip it in the folder say c:/MMXA110/update/.
- Now you will have 2 folder
S9081_MP_F4_B1_IN_MMX_0.16__flasher_user
SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1220.01
in the c:/MMXA110/update/ directory. One is the ROM update and the other is the tool that will update the handset.
Now you need the drivers that will detect the handset (this is a different one). For this you can visit the A110 -> Drivers and download the exe file. Or you can connect the phone to PC and you will find the drivers. Or download this file http://mediafire.com/?3q8rhlp4ws9053o (this driver file on mediafire worked for me).
I am using Windows 8 64 bit and had trouble installing the driver (Unsigned driver issue). For Windows 8 users with same issue you can try the following. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931088
Okay now for the flashing process. It’s very simple. But make sure not to disconnect the phone or switch off the PC etc until the whole process is over, as that might damage the OS and could brick the handset. So proceed at your own risk, I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong.
How to flash Micromax A110 with new ROM (V2)
- Switch off the phone completely.
- Enter the directory where you have placed all the files example c:/MMXA110/update/.
- Now use the flash tool, enter the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1220.01 directory and double click the flash_tool.exe.
- When the program starts the download agent link will already be there all you need to do is add the scatter-loading file. Click scatter loading button and then look for the file MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc in the S9081_MP_F4_B1_IN_MMX_0.16__flasher_user directory.
- Once done just click the download button (next to firmware upgrade) and then connect the switched off phone to the PC. Assuming that the drivers have installed properly the upgrade process will start.
- Do not unplug / disconnect / abort the process unless you see the OK message.
- It will take few minutes for the process to complete, once done disconnect the USB and start the phone.
It will take a little longer to start for the first time and you will see the superfone logo for a little longer time, it is normal. Once the phone starts just go to settings and check the storage you should see the total app space now increased from 503 to 1.4GB with 1.05 GB as internal storage.
What’s new in this update
- The app space has been increased (Approx 1.4GB).
- RAM around 200 to 230 MB free.
- Now when you choose SD card as default storage it installs new apps on the internal storage, but you can move it later on to the external SD storage (if applicable).
- LED Flash looks brighter now, still no good with low light photography.
- I tried GPS and it works did not notice much difference. The lock took less than 15 seconds, as it was before. I tried from two different locations and both time got a lock within 15 to 30 seconds.
- Did not find any noticeable difference in performance: Quadrant score(2565), Antutu score (6173 pretty good).
- I tried installing the Modern Combat 3 Game (1.3 GB) and it did install directly on my external SD card

BROM Error Resolution:-
Remove the battery –> connect mobile to PC –> Restart firmware upgrade process
And your phone will be upgraded!!! Just discovered.
my a110 imei no blank during update….. how to write plz help me
HI Gogi Sir,
while followed the procedure after clicking of firmware->upgrade the flash tool detected the phone and process started. After that i got a message BROM ERROR : S_FT_FORMAT_FAIL (4010). Now the phone is nor Switching ON, neither being detected by Flashing Tool.
I have a canvas 2 with v2 rom and my friend has a canvas 2 with v1 rom . Is it possible that if we make backup of his v1 rom phone and restore that backup to my v2 rom phone . Will it work and help me to get v1 rom ?
Hi Gogi ,
Will the same update work on Xolo A800
No never try any ROM that is made for a particular handset.
Please upgrade to Dr Bhokali JB ROM (4.1.1): I am a very satisfied user of the ROM, and it has passed all the tests till date. Use the standard procedure listed in the site, and follow these two additional steps to get the best out of the ROM: (Using CWM recovery installed in V2 ROM)
1) Clear battery status (after charging to 100%)
2) Format System
I have upgraded my ROM to DrBhokali ROM from V2 ROM (rooted version with CWM installed). I strongly suggest you to follow the same technique. No issues till date (> 20 days of usage)
—what is better in DrBhokali ROM as compared to official JB ROM–
TV out: It is not available in Official JB ROM. However, the same is there in DrBhokali ROM.
TV Out? I don’t think A110 has MHL, how else can we have TV out ? Miracast ? I don’t think A110 is advanced enough to support that. If it is possible can you please update. Have you tried ? Which other ROMs support that ? Official JB, JMPs ROM any other? (Somehow, I don’t feel very comfortable with the name DrBhokali
)
I guess TVout in A110 is just a myth. No HW support. Some people are saying MHL cable can be used but no one reported any success. Others saying 3.5mm to 3RCA cable can be used etc etc. BUT no one has reported any success in TVout. BTW TVout option is present in engg mode even in v1 ROM. So I don’t think any ROM is required to support it. Its just the HW support that is missing.
Micro-Macro USB drive: Today I saw a USB drive with normal as well as micro USB port, so that it can be used directly in Laptop/computer or Mobiles with OTG support. Excellent idea, we should get more of these at cheaper rates, since they are the need of the hour.

Nikhil,
Do not be in panic. The ICs will save you by itself, follow this method.
Press VOL UP, VOL DN and Power ON button while you start the phone (pull out the battery in OFF state and re-insert later). The boot logo will be displayed for 3-4 minutes, and later mobile will boot into the Mobile Desktop. During this, ICs flashes the original recovery by default. Later, switch off and do the VOL UP+ VOL DN and Power button to get inside the Stock Recovery.
Thanx jg but problem is solved now.Problem was that my friend was playing with my phone installing various during his last updat he did not wipe cache and other stuff instead he factory resetted my phone.thanx to mobile uncle tool i downloaded custom recovery.img and flashed it through mobile uncle tool and recovery was installed and now my phone is in v2 rom but going to install killer rom
Moreover jg it was jelly t2 rom not ics.

SwipeIt–An Alternate (economical) method for WiFi Direct
———————————————-
If you have a samsung smartTV, you can install SwipeIt application both in the TV and MMX (ie DrBhokali JB ROM), and then enter the TV code in MMX. It is done. Now select the video or picture, and then just “swipe it” physically! It appears in TV. Comparing to WiFi direct, it is so simple and straight forward!
The other advantage of SwipeIt is that your MMX can be connected to your WiFi network tower that you have at home, and the TV can be connected to the same network through LAN, and it works! This is not possible in WiFi direct. Your TV must have a WiFi adapter that cost ~7k extra!
Limitations in DrBhokali ROM
1. Skype issue: While using the latest version of the Skype, very low volume sound output through speakers. Difficult to hear the conversation.
I have not yet posted 10 comments in XDA forum, hence not eligible to post comments in XDA. I hope some senior XDA member see this forum and update DrBhokali ROM developer.
hi gogi today i flashed jelly bean v5 rom of jigar and its awesomeeeee

Hi gogi,
I ve succesfully rooted MMX a110. But after rooting im unable to connect to internet and WIFI shows NVRAM error. Pls help me what and how to get things right.
WiFi Direct Works in DrBhokali Jelly Bean ROM
=============================02.Mar.2011
Today it worked! I am so happy, and let me share the technique with you.
What you need:
1) SAMSUNG SmartTV with WiFi adapter [My Model:UA40EX5600RMXL]
2) MMX A110 with Rooted DrBhokali JB 4.1.1 ROM [has WiFi Direct facility]
3) Free version of iMediaShareLite
————————————————————–
How to do (in one line): Connect the mobile to WiFi of the TV, and enable WiFi direct in both TV and Mobile, then use iMediaShareLite to display video on TV
—————————————————————
How to do(Step by Step procedure: total 5 steps):
Step-1: Enable WiFi Direct in TV
Do these in TV:
Go to Menu>Network>Soft AP> SoftAP>ON
Go to Menu>Network>Soft AP>Security Key>12341234
My network SSID of TV is DIRECT-w0[TV]. This means you will see a WiFi connection named “DIRECT-w0[TV]” in the MMX WiFi menu.
Exit the TV menu
Step-2: Connect MMX to WiFi of TV
Settings>WiFi>ON. You may see a WiFi connection named “DIRECT-w0[TV]” as one of the options. Connect the same using “12341234″ as the password.
Step-3: Enable WiFi Direct in MMX, and invite TV.
Do these in MMX:
Settings>WiFi>ON>Press the settings button, ie Square button on the left>Select “WiFi Direct”. Now you must see “[TV] Available” inside the WiFi Direct menu of MMX. Press “[TV] Available” in MMX, it changes to “[TV] invited” mode. You can re-name the Mobile as ‘Android_MMX_A110″ here. TV will display only the machine address of your mobile.
You may also note down the machine address of WiFi of your mobile from the “about” menu. For this do the following.
Settings> About Phone >Status. Look for the address mentioned under wiFi-MAC address. My phone shows d0:b3:3f:4d:d6:59. This vary from mobile to mobile, but is fixed for any given mobile.
Step-4: WiFI Direct connection between TV and MMX
Do these in TV:
Menu>Network>WiFi Direct>Refresh
TV must display a dialogue box that Android_MMX_A110 is now connected and it will display the machine address of your MMX’s WiFi Direct. My TV shows ” d0:b3:3f:4d:d6:59 connected” under the WiFi Direct menu of TV
Step-5: Display video/ play audio in to TV from MMX using WiFi direct.
Do these in MMX.
Here you need to run the software-iMediaShareLite in MMX. It will automatically detect your TV as [TV] avaibale, while the program starts up.
To play YouTube videos directly onto TV, do the following.
Select the YouTube video first. You will see a button on the right side top corner having a symbol with an arrow coming out of a box. Just press it. Now select [TV] from the list of items shown. That is it. IT IS DONE.
You have a wonderful thing, some thing most advanced people dream of doing! Feeling great!
WiFi direct is powerful connection between TV and Mobile that can play HD movies without any physical interconnection between the two. The other option to get such quality audio/video requires HDMI cable connection!
So, enjoy life…
