Root Rooting Updates!

Ask mmx if there's any stability update for a78.
Because I need firmware image or files to root it.
U ask mmx about it till then I will look up for another way :D

Sent from my Micromax_A70 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4

If you could tell me a way to extract the firmware or image files... i can send you the same.
also i tried to root by:
superclickone v.2.3.3 - does'nt works.
Rooting guide for ninad for A85, Does'nt works.

Although i did do this: How to force install apps to SD card without ROOT!!! A70. successfully done in A78.

You need root for it :p

The problem is like, u need the mmx Support package ,
some users secretly copied the link from where the mmx person was downloading it :) for A75 ! hence I was able to Root the device ;)

I am trying to find other ways ! but still nothing :)

Guys any news on how to root this device...?
"Micromax support" people prove to be of no help.
the device is not even usable widout a root!
No RAM, no internal storage whtsoever...
to be accurate: 5 mb internal memory (cz i cnt move 'preintalled' google maps, facebook, etc and their updated to storage card... and
12 -18 mb free RAM (cz of some useless services running in the background which when stopped, restart.)

Oops ,
that was too much exaggeration ....
it is impossible to have 5Mb of Data ... that's crazy and to be frank i do not think any company would do that crap ... as some apps are 5Mb each (even more)

More over seems you have installed many many apps :) That is the reason for the low memory !

For as Maps and other crap is installed in the system memory and not in data memory (where you can install apps )1

Its not exaggeration.... cant even post a screenshot... No root to get it installed.
The company actually sold crap this time.
yes too many programs installed but all of them are in storage card.
every single one tht was installed manually is in storage card.
Too many pre-installed apps - in system memory (rom)
All the updates of those pre-installed apps- in internal storage
thus leaving the free internal storage to be exactly 7MB at present.

and so far RAM is concerned:
Launcher 11 MB
Settings 14 MB
Facebook 11 MB
Maps 12 MB
Google services 8 MB
android Keyboard 4.6 MB
peek 2 MB

119 MB used
Ram free: 1.3 MB

guys am also and user of A78. I must say that wiothout rooting the phone is practically unusable.

I'd like to root the thing too, but you're exaggerating a bit, right? It's a very usable and useful device as it is, for calls, e-mail, net-surfing, reading e-books, playing music. I see no difference in smoothness/responsiveness to my wife's Galaxy S. For more heavy-duty stuff I tether it to my laptop.

Or maybe the manufacturing quality varies wildly and I happen to have got a good piece..

Yes you are right. Smoothness and performance is okay till I am leaving 100MB or so internal memory. (I have only installed Google +, App lock, MX player, Xabber and google reader, That's it I only have 92 mb memory left) Still whenever I am accessing contacts or call log it takes time. Okay it's manageable. (As I have payed not much for all these)
Most important is battery life. It sucks. Hope it will be improved once the pre-installed caps which remains active all the time is removed.

Try moving the apps to the SDcard? (You have one right?) Google+ alone is around 22MB I think. I haven't installed the others you mention but have quite a few other apps -- kindle, opera mini next, dolphin mini, adobe reader, folder play etc.

As for battery life, I find it comparable to my wife's much more expensive Samsung Galaxy S. In other words, on a full charge with normal use (for me) it lasts 24 hours. It has never run out of charge for me yet.
