With the recent release of Android One, Micromax and MediaTek released fully buildable kernel source code. This wasn’t always the case for a lot of OEMs building devices with MediaTek SOCs, but luckily this is no longer the case as a lack of proper source code often hinders development greatly.
Development for the Micromax Canvas Magnus shouldn’t be slow anymore, as XDA Senior Member Santhosh M released an official version of TWRP 2.8.2.0 for this 5” beast. The Canvas Magnus or Canvas A117 is a first Micromax device that is officially supported by the TWRP team. This means that this phone will receive continued recovery updates straight from TeamWin.
TWRP 2.8.2.0 Touch Recovery brings support for encrypted partitions in Lollipop, some exFAT improvements to enhance the compatibility, and MTP support while in recovery. TWRP is of course developed by XDA Senior Recognized Developer Dees_Troy, XDA Recognized Developer bigbiff, and countless other developers. Since its initial release, it’s become available for many various devices.
Are you a happy owner of the Micromax Canvas Magnus? If so, head over to the official TWRP thread for this device. You can also get the recovery by using the official TWRP application by XDA Retired Forum Moderator and Recognized Developer jmz.
