How to Root Micromax Canvas HD (and other MTK devices) without using PC

Biggest dilemma after owning an Android phone is whether to root it or not. As process of rooting a phone using SP tools or any other tools using PC are bit lengthy and complicated, users are afraid of rooting their device as a simple mistake can change a fully functional android device into a mere paper weight. On the other side there are many advantages of rooting. Rooting allows you to take your phone to its full capacity. As most of the OEMs takes a lot of time to release firmware updates to their Android phones. You can enjoy latest custom roms on your rooted device.

Here we are going to show you a method to root your device without using PC,which works for most of the Android devices.

To root your device you must download framaroot application developed by one of XDA devedloper alephzain  . Once you have downloaded , install this app. Make sure you have checked "Unknown Sources" in Security settings to allow application installation from sources other than Google play store.You can install this app on your android without worries as even if it doesn't work on your device it wont brick your phone.

Framaroot uses 6 exploits basically which are safe to root your android phone. These 6 exploits are Gandalf, Boromir, Sam, Frodo, Aragorn and Gimli. Seems like all the exploits are discovered by Lord of the Rings fan :) .

    1. I dont think there is a way to flash custom roms using framaroot, its for rooting only. To flash custom roms you can use Rom manager applications.
