Hello A25 users,
You may not know me but I m well-known in A52, A70, A73 & A75 community.
I am the one who found the way to root Micromax's devices by modifying boot.img & then using UnlockRoot or SuperOneClick to root the device.I first applied that method on my A75 & now it's the only method to root A52 also, they recently get rooted by this method only.
I m positive that same method will work on A25 also...I don't own this device so can't test the method but it's working for almost all micromax devices.
Now coming to point,
I have modded original boot.img to root your device.
I am going to explain step by step how to root your device.The I will explain how to get romdump of the device.
Download the following files.
1) Unsecured boot.img (zip contains unsecured boot.img + A25 scatter file)
2) SP.FlashTool
3) A25_USB_VCOM_Drivers
4) UnlockRoot
5) Original boot.img (You don't need to download this to root the device)
Note: Use my username as pw to download above files.
Advantages of my boot.img: I have added init.d support plus ext2.ko,ext3.ko & ext4.ko modules initialization on boot.Just place this ko files in /system/lib/modules/ after rooting the device, u will be able to use Link2SD with ext2,3 or 4 filesystems on your 2nd sdcard partition.
Reference for flashing: MT65x3 flashing tutorial
Read the above tutorial first so u get idea how to flash an img file using SP FlashTool.
STEPS TO FLASH BOOT.IMG:
1) Run SPFlashTool, preferably as administrator (not mandatory)
2) Select USB mode under Options
3) Click Scatter-loading & select scatter file you downloaded from above links.
4) It will automatically load boot.img if it's in the same folder with scatter file otherwise click BOOTIMG & select the downloaded unsecured boot.img
5) Turn off the device fully, remove the battery for 5 seconds to be sure n re-insert the battery but do not power on device.
6) Attach the usb cable with PC but not with device
7) Now click on "Download" button on SPFlashTool, it will show searching for device in lower panel.
8) At this time, attach the cable with device in power off state
9) It will search for drivers, select the USB_VCOM_Drivers u downloaded from above links. You may have to go to Device Manager to manually install the driver.
10) By that time if SPFlashTool shows some error then don't panic, just make sure that there is no ongoing flashing process on SPFlashTool n if the device is showing battery charging animation then it's safe to detach the cable. Detach the cable n follow step 7 again.
11) Now as soon as u attach the cable to device in power off state it will show a progress bar in lower panel n then a dialogue which states successfully flashed n another dialogue showing green colored ring n stating Download OK.
12) Close the dialogues, close the program n reboot the device by pressing power key.
STEPS TO ROOT DEVICE:
1. Power on device.
2. Enable USB Debugging.
- Settings > Application tab > Applications > Development > USB Debugging
3. Install UnlockRoot in pc
4. Attach device using usb cable in debugging mode(u just enabled it in step-2) to pc.
5. Now Run UnlockRoot program and click Root button
6. Confirm online device Micromax A25 in the list which pop-up.
7. Let in finish the procedure and Restart device when is asks.
8. See new Superuser app in app drawer
9. Viola...!!! Your A25 is now rooted.
UnlockRoot does not install Busybox on device so after u rooted the device install busybox to work with many root apps.Search Play Store for Busybox Installer by Jrummy OR BusyBox free by Stericson...

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns before flashing! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
