How to Root the Micromax Canvas Fun A74
While the Canvas Fun has all that you could want in a mid-range Android smartphone, Micromax has snuck in one feature that is popular in India – dual SIM support. And if the device’s dual-core 1.3GHz CPU seems slow for you, you could always overclock it. To overclock, you will need to be rooted and the guide below should help with that.
I. Before You Begin
1. Back up everything you feel is important before you start.
2. Charge your device to 75% or more before you begin to prevent unwanted shutdowns.
II. Necessary Downloads
Framaroot-1.8.0.apk [or latest version, file attached to this post]
III. Rooting the Canvas Fun A74
1. Connect your device to your PC and copy the Framaroot-1.8.0.apk file you downloaded above to your device’s SD card.
2. Use a file manager app (Astro or ES File Explorer, for example), navigate to the location of Framaroot-1.8.0.apk, and install the application. Make sure you have enabled installation of apps from unknown sources by going to Settings > Security and ticking the Unknown sources checkbox.
3. Go to your app drawer and open up the Framaroot app.
4. Select Install SuperSU from the drop-down menu and tap on Boromir.
5. Wait for the success popup.
6. Reboot your device.
Your rooted Micromax Canvas Fun is much more fun now!
