How To Install SamFlare v2 Custom ROM in Micromax A116 Canvas HD

Earlier I posted CanvaS4 ROM for Micromax A110 Canvas 2 but this time I will show you a S4 like ROM for Micromax A116 Canvas HD! TouchWiz UI is liked my many people because it looks clear, white, bright and neat. Many of us wants to buy a Samsung device because of its UI but what if you can get it in your Micromax A116 Canvas HD? Isn't it cool? Okay, the ROM is based on Android 4.2.2 and is bug-less. The ROM is optimized for better performance. Canvas HD has many many ROMs because of it's popularity. The device boasts 5 Inch screen, 1.2 GHz Quad Core processor, 8 MP camera. Let's have a specification list of this device.

You can get many good ROMs for this device like Lewa etc but this ROM is self-made and faster than other ROMs. Don't worry for the flashing guide.

How To Install SlamFare v2 Custom ROM in Micromax A116 Canvas HD

  • Download the ROM in your PC [I would suggest you with IDM or FDM because in Chrome/FireFox, it sometimes fails].
  • Move the Micromax A116 Canvas HD SamFlare v2.zip file to SD card without unzipping it!
  • Shut down your Canvas HD properly and remove the battery.
  • Re-plug the battery after 10 seconds so that it doesn't boot automatically.
  • Now press and hold down Power button, Volume- (Minus) button and Volume+ (Plus) button for a while until it boots to the recovery.
  • Make a Nandroid backup. To do this do the following things:
    Go to Backup/Restore and hit Backup. The process will complete in some minutes [Important Step].
  • Go back to Recovery menu and select Data/Factory Reset.
  • Now go to Mounts and Storage from the Recovery Menu and there click on Format /System. [Do not format anything else!] 
  • Go to Advance and format the Dalvik Cache too.
