Do u find any problems after rooting ur device.
Thanks in advance
H! vithasansen,
I haven't found any problems after rooting upto now.Just follow the process given by sagarwep.I have followed exactly the same procedure.If your phone was not detected just copy the usb.ini file attatched by sagarwep and copy that to ".android folder in documents folder.".android folder will be created after u instal the android SDK.Then just run the Unlock root program and it will detect ur device as A56 but don't worry A56 and A57 have same config except processor speed.Then just click ROOT and ur phone will be rooted.
Check Usb Debugging is on in ur phone and keep battery at min 50%.It will just take 1-2 min.Don't remove the phone while in process it may brick ur phone.

Hi Sarawep,
Thanks a lot for ur advice... Rooting is success in micromax ninja 3. i used swapper and created a swapfile for 512mb. the swap file created in sdcard successfully. then i used swapper 2 , changed the swapfile name, set swapiness to 100 and i had the option to select the swapfile size only until 256mb in swapper 2 app. then i clicked the on button and got the result as all done... then i installed android terminal emulator to check the swap size and found only 50MB increased in swapsize.. here are my memory info for ur referenc
So my question is, in swapper i created 512mb swap file and in swapper 2 i selected the 256mb as swapfile space.. y it shows only 50MB in swap total? how can i increase the swap space or any otherway to recreated the swap space??? i tried to recreate the swap file using swapper app and it shows the error "sorry but there are not enough free space. free space=1077952"... i want to increase the swap space ... kindly help ....
