I googled and read some blogs. They are saying go to Settings -> Storage -> Change your default storage. But I saw on my mobile there are no options for set default storage.

Device Micromax A104. The phone is not rooted neither the usb debugging mode is on.
the phone was fully affected virus or some other bugs. It was hanging and responding very slowly. so i decided to factory reset. I went to recovery by pressing Power+Vol up. the result was an android robot icon with a red triangle mark and saying No command. but by pressing the Power button again i logged into system recovery. there is selected wipe data/ factory reset selection was difficult because phone was not responding properly when i press the vol down button either Vol up button somehow i manage to select the wipe data/Factory reset and wipe cache partition.
after that i select "reboot system now" then i am stuck in bootloop.
i downloaded stock rom SP flash tool. but my laptop Windows 10 64 bit is not detecting the mobile. i downloaded ADB drivers and installed it manually and by exe files. In device manager it still says Code 10 Error device will not work properly Yellow triangle. tried a several website for drivers .. all failed. I tried in Windows 8 64bit system also. Failed again
Is there any hope left for this mobile??? is there any chance to save this phone?
SP flash tool is latest version and in Ubuntu Linux also SP Flash tool is not able to detect the phone.

Installing ADB drivers for Micromax A89 Ninja - Windows 8

Micromax does not provide any drivers for its phone - Micromax A89 Ninja. We are trying to use the phone for development and are unable to install the device driver in Windows 8.
We tried the ADB drivers at - http://www.droidextra.org/2013/02/06/install-adb-drivers-for-any-android-device.html
and got the error
> Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error when trying to install it. Android ADB Interface - The system cannot find the file specified.
We even tried this link - https://laslow.net/2012/03/14/disable-driver-signature-enforcement-in-windows-8/
But that does not solve the problem. How do we install ADB driver for Micromax A89? Is there any other workaround to use the phone as a development device?

Power button and it's combination with volume buttons won't work. It just looks like a dead phone. Display doesn't light up at all, even when charging. It's battery is non-removable which is the sad part of the story. What can I try before handing it over to a service store?

Change the date format of the default Phone app in Micromax canvas 4

In the **Phone** app (which came as as a preinstalled on my Micromax canvas 4 Device, running Android 4.2), the date format used (in the call logs for example to show history of calls placed/received) is USA-Style like **mm-dd-yyyy.**, like 08/09/2015 (for 9th-August-2015).
I checked the phone app's settings but could not find a way to change it to **dd-mm-yyyy.**, like 09/08/2015 (for 9th-August-2015).
Of course, I can certainly install another 3rd party app which can give an option to customize data format, but just want to check if it is possible in the preinstalled system app.
Anyone knows how to change date format from mm-dd-yyyy to dd-mm-yyyy?

I've a Micromax bolt A064 running on 4.4.2 kitkat. After rooting the device, I somewhere read that xposed can give my phone more tweaks than ever I can. So, I started reading about xposed. Some users said that it was safe and they were enjoying whereas some user's phone was soft-bricked or bootloooped. I certainly come to know that it can harm my device also. But I want something new in my phone. So, the best idea that my brain gives to me is to ask from the experts and intelligents here. I'm now having stock rom but rooted with kinguser. I replaced kinguser with Supersu and now using it. You can check the details of my phone on manufacturer website. Alternatively, I'm attaching a screenshot of my setting's about phone.
Again highlighting question-
> **Is xposed safe for my micromax bolt a064**
And, if it is safe, could you please list some useful modules that is supported i.e safe?
Thank you for your attention. If any details is needed, comment it and I'll surely give it. And please help.

How can I stop adverts from "System Update" from showing up on my lockscreen on a Micromax phone?

It's been quite some time since I last used Android, but following the untimely death of my old "roaming" phone while travelling in India, I've just ended up buying myself a Micromax Q338. This runs a Micromax modified version of Android 5.1 Lollipop
After uninstalling or disabling a few of the annoying apps it shipped with, I'm still faced with one issue - adverts showing up as notifications on the lock screen, which seem to turn up when / just after connected to the internet. If I touch and hold on them, they show as being from *System Update*, as shown here:
Lockscreen / Notification settings (click images for larger variants)
As far as I can tell, *System Update* is an official component, and not a third party app. As such, I don't think I can/should uninstall it. I also can't find *System Update* under Settings / Sound & notification / Notification / App notification, so I can't apparently disable them that way.
So, how do I stop System Update popping up adverts on the lock screen when there is / has been internet?

Android One Stuck in "Checking Connection" after Factory Reset

I did factory reset to my Micromax Android One (Canvas A1). Before resetting it was running Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 with July 2016 security updates. Now when I reboot the device, after language and SIM options, it asks me to select a WiFi. But it is stuck in "checking connection... this can take a while", even when the same WiFi is working with other devices. The Select WiFi and Checking connection pages can't be skipped as the Skip button is grayed out.
My device is not rooted and I don't want to root is as long as possible, so this answer doesn't help me.
I have tried various options suggested in forums and nothing is working for me. I have tried with and without SIM cards and Micro SD card as well. So far I have tried:
1. Running in recovery mode and "wipe cache partition"
2. Resting the device again in Recovery mode
3. Used different WiFi, even tried using WiFi host-spot from other devices
How to fix this without rooting? Is there any way to skip this step?

I am a Micromax Juice 3 user, I have rooted my phone using the KingoRoot App. Then I have installed the xposed installer to use various modules for android. Now I want the ability to spoof my mac address, I have tried multiple ways as suggested in some previous questions like installing terminal emulator and using commands like
busybox ifconfig eth0/wlan0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
or
iplink set eth0/wlan0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
But it gives me an error : "operation not supported"
I have tried using apps to do it, like Pry-fi or Mac Changer but they also do not seem to work. For eg. in Pry-fi I always see my current and original address as the same. I have unlocked my bootloader (if that's a pre-requisite -I am not sure) using fastboot oem unlock command which wiped my device which makes me believe that unlocking was successful.
Anybody has any ideas how can I successfully make it work?
