Lollipop update out for Android One

Install Lollipop On Micromax Android One

Micromax Canvas A1 aka Android One received lollipop as over the air update. As we reported before here android one lollipop version 5.1 update that Google revealed their Android Version 5.1(same named as lollipop) which was showed up on new Indonesian Android One devices last month. The version 5.1 is a complete bug fixer Rom, as the version 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 were reporting issues related to excessive Ram usage, memory optimization and battery backup etc on various devices. Now the time has come for the Indian Android one users to experience the taste of lollipop. Now lets move on to the steps for getting lollipop on your android one,

Instructions:

1: Connect to a WiFi network because you are about to download a file size of450~490 mb.

2: Then Go to settings >> About phone >> Software Update

3: Download and install the update and start using the new interface decorated with tons of animations on your device.

For those who are running custom Rom(s) on their devices have to flash their stock Rom back, until a flash-able Cwm zip file is available,

Note:- I've found that sometimes Micromax devices loose their IMEI after flashing their stock Rom back so I strongly recommend to do a backup of your IMEI before moving towards the steps for flashing. You can backup your IMEI via Mobile Uncle tools ( you can install it from Google Playstore) and restore it later if the error shows up.
Now:

• Install your phone's drivers on your PC.

• Download SP flash tool, plus your stock Rom and put them in a separate folder on your desktop.

• Extract your Rom's (zip/rar) files in the folder.

• Now open the Sp tool and browse for your Rom's scatter file inside the folder.

• Hit download and wait till searching appears and after that connect your device to the PC.

• After that, a green circle will appear and now you are done.

• Disconnect your device and then download your lollipop update as mentioned above.
