how to update the play store?
tried installing manually but its not working…
I think you have to Turn on automatic sync so that it can automatically update.
my wifi not working after installing the rom, could it be some problem with the rom or hardware, please check
oK sure..I will come back with answers soon.
Install Root explorer and Go to system/lib/modules/ there are two files p2p.ko and wlan.ko delete them and there are another two files p2p_mt6620.ko Rename it to p2p.ko and wlan_mt6620 Rename it to wlan.ko
please test and post your feedback soon.
Sujit u are just fab….fixed my problem finally………thanx a tonne
Always happy to help Brother..
it worked, thanks very much. Big relieve as i thought it might have been my hardware..
would have been good if ur uploaded stock rom got corrected… as for the play store update, i replaced an updated version in the rom and got it installed
I am still working on it, becauae of some personal problems I am doing it slowly..so lets hope i make it..any others bugs please report. Thanks.
In my mi 495 i cannot update google apps like youtube, maps, gmail etc. it says package file signed diffrently, i tried many websites and they tell me to delete the official app first and then install again from play store, this way is also its not working tell me a solution, right now i have the google apps which comes preinstalled
Did you try after installing my posted rom?
Yes i tried after installing your rom but it didnt worked….earlier also i had the same problem
Why dont you try the official firmware from the Spice website..?
I cannot find any firmware on spice website for mi 495. if u get any link then kindly post it. But i dont think that will work either…….anyways do provide a link of official firmware if u have. I would try it too.
http://125.19.68.27:8084/website/MI-495_Stellar_Virtuoso.zip
its 209mb.
Thanx for the link….I will try it.
I Think the problem is that i donot have google play services and neither it gets installed manually nor from play store. It says incompatible shared id
Yeah I also checked that. I tried few methods but was unable to install new google play services. Hope to find some solution soon.
Do reply for google play services as soon as you get any solution. I need to update the apps so please provide solution asap. waiting for the solution…
I tried many methods but still no luck:-/
that link didnt worked…..while installing it says installation aborted
download link is broken please fix it.
here is the new link

while installing rom signing error is displayed.
how to overcome it?
Nobody had this problem, Try to turn On Signature check ..then installing again..
actually i am unable to boot my phone.
Check whether you can go into recovery mode..turn off phone and Press Volume UP+Power button continously…you will enter into the recovery mod..copy the rom in sd card with name of update.zip and try to click on Apply update.zip from sd card in recovery..tell this method work on not?
and also clockmod recovery is not installed in my device.
did nything go wrong tat u r trying to install it? have you rooted da phone? after rooting install mobile uncle tool and download cwm image, open uncle tool app n go to application recovery n open the cwn image
it wil ask u to reboot . there u can install from sd card the rom which is to b saved in the sd card as zip n not in other sub folder
Most people dont read the full post and try in curiosity..
signing error of rom is occuring in this process.
do backup also contains system files ? if yes then please upload your’s phone backup. thanks
Yes, it contains every files on the fone. first tell me do you have cwm recovery installed on your phone?
no its not installed.
should i use any custom rom? if yes then please help me to choose one.
There are no custom rom available except that stock rom available here..
i tried with name update.zip but again E:signature verification failed is displayed on screen.
it shows error “verification failed” but still asks you to “install untrusted .zip”
so should i except that my phone is gone?
if u can’t switch on , maybe u r nt lucky
Dont worry its just a soft brick if the phone is struck at bootscreen or you can turn it on.
Best way is go to, “Service center” and say that you dont know what happened you were listening music and suddenly it turned off, its in warranty they will install the firmware again…at that time install cwm recovery so next time you dont struck in this type situation.
is there any program to flash update.zip file from pc?
There can be a method by SP Flashtool, but seriously i dont even try…So you dont have much options:-(
Try this

i am trying odin to flash update.zip file but unable to use it properly.please guide me how to use it.
Please somebody upload this rom to Mediafire or somewher else because my dropbox account is suspended for heavy traffic..
Hi – Pls upload your stockrom in another site as we are unable to download from dropbox. Humbe request.
I know many of you will be having problem, but i am on a slow internet connection. so can anuone please upload this to other site and gave me a link, I will update.
Hi Sujit, Only if you could provide us the ROM can we upload it into another site Pal. can you create a torrent file and put it. Download M-torrent and create a torent file and start sharing
I have uploaded the rom on dropbox with so much hassle. once my dropbox account got reopened which is currently disable because of the traffic. then you can download and uplod it another site if you have a fair internet connection.
Ok. Fair enough. can you advise where i can find the addresses of spice mobile authorised service centers. Pls send me the url link
why upload elsewhere when it can be downloaded? otherwise i can do it…
though not sure which upload site would be best
Mediafire or box.net wil be much better…Bcoz Dropbox is blocking my account because of heavy traffic load. so it will affect other users…So Dude please do it asap. Thank you
i have uploaded the rom though i have some apps removed which i shall upload separately due to data constraints. i ve also corrected the wifi thing. https://www.box.com/s/gfd2x7gisbjxbeqfwr19
i.e did the renaming.
Super cool brp..Thanks dude..
remaining apps are fb, toi, documents to go and whatsapp download link
https://www.box.com/s/5nm4akxnk2ifbvz9010b
for those who might be confused,open the rom .zip and add the apps(and not the folder) downloaded from the above link to system/app
though its ok even if ignored
wesser, thanks for the ROM. I have also rooted my MI-495. Now where do i get the Cynogen recovery image for MI-495. can some one or Sujit provide me the url link please.
Also Wesser – I hope your ROM has the latest files which has the Wifi working as well. Please advise / reply. Thanks

Thanks Bro. It is so nice of you both. I will start the job. Also is it possible tolet us all know the right beats audio (Apk) file & upload them and provide the url link. I am sure you are all aware that our model has a very low volume quality.
I know nothing of that thing called beat audio. i guess it wouldnt be good to push your hardware beyond its capacity.
i am trying odin to flash update.zip file but unable to use it properly.please guide me how to use it.
it will not be flashed by odin..you have to copy it in your sd card and have to install by CWM recovery.
thankx for your suggestion to go to service center. now my phone is fine, though it was rooted but service center repaired it.
after backing up my mi 495’s rom with cwm recovery should i try to install jb rom of canvas 2.
it will not work i know..beacuse…but still remove the boot.img from thw zip file then try..
The proximity sensor is not working…how to ebable it or change settings?
We need to confirm it, From other user who have installed this rom. because anybody else dint address this issue.
how to install ? please can u tell me
You need custommod recovery to install this rom..
my spice mi 495 is bricket how to solve it… 😦 i downloaded stock rom but they not instal in recovery mode
my mobile is rooted means avoid warranty if i am go to service center they will charge for firmware update plz give me a soloution fast
Dont worry bro, If you are bricked, Then just go o service center, They cant see whether you rooted or not, Just tell them ki Ye computer se connect kiya aur fir automatically aisa ho gaya..And next time Root and install CWM and made a backup..Good luck:)
Sujit can you please let me know or anyone else….that did your google play store updated to latest version. If yes, tell me how. becoz my spice mi-495 is not updated to latest playstore and hangout as well.
My google playe store version is 3.5.16. Is that the latest?
Mine too. The latest version of the google play store is 4.1.6. I searched, but find out that in the list of google phone our phone is not listed till now. Just one spice phone is listed for the update that is Mi-350 or something like that. I dont think we will get the update.
If you can Copy the newest version of Google store from other phone..then you can install it by Root explorer
Okay. I will try. And let you know. Thanks. Its a pleasure visiting your site. Thanks for helping me and all of us. Thanks so much.

Hey Sujit, i have found a way to update google apps and install google play services. To update google apps i first installed the latest version of signed gapps and then updated the apps like youtube and gmail. BTW, my youtube was not getting updated, i deleted youtube and installed again. It worked. The google apps now get updated and new google apps can also be installed. For google play services i tried the adb method. It failed. What I think is that if in the stock rom you edit the packages.xml file in /data/system then it will work. Because while using the adb method to install google play services what didnt worked was pushing back the edited packages.xml file. Please reply whether you can do this or not.
Can you provide the link of new signed gapps?
I found the signed gapps on http://goo.im/gapps/ . The gapps which will work on spice mi 495 is gapps -ics-20120429-signed. The direct link to download the gapps is http://goo.im/gapps//gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Whereas, working the whole night on my phone i finally fixed everything. My phone now has latest version of play store. Google Play Services Installed, all Google apps updated and everything working excellent from tip to top.
Here is what I did:-
1. Backed Up all useful data and apk of all apps installed. ( I did it using Titanium Backup and root explorer.
2. I downloaded latest signed gapps for Android ICS from http://goo.im/gapps//gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip (49.64 MB).
3. Turned off my phone.
4. Booted phone in recovery mode and Wiped data/factory reset. (This is why I backed up everything.)
5. Flashed the latest signed Gapps which i downloaded earlier.
6. Wiped Dalvik cache and cache partition then rebooted.
7. Downloaded the latest version of Google Play Store and installed it. (You can download version 4.5.10 of play store from https://www.dropbox.com/s/e02j6ebi4u96jad/Play%20Store.zip [3.69 MB] )
8. Update all the Gapps via Play Store. (Meanwhile if there are updates for TOI, Docs to go or Whatsapp, you may update them too.)
9. Then installed Google Play Services and done!
Note:- Alternatively in place of step 7 you can open the Market (Play Store) and tap agree. Then press home and leave it for awhile. After the Play Store is updated, open it and tap agree again. The new Play Store should download Google Play Services and install it for you.
Awesome Man..!! Thanks..Gonna make a post for this.
I have already posted it on xda developers. but i want you to post it here too as this is the only helpful place for mi 495 users. but do try it once before posting i am nt sure whether it works evrytime or not.
Its working!! I tried it…but have to wipe data otherwise the method dont work..
One more thing, can anyone tell me that where will i get the original battery for spice mi 495. mine is a bit damaged. works fine but not upto the mark, i wanna purchase a new battery. searched all over delhi but not found. please tell me if anybody knows of any shop online or anywhere else where i can get battery for this phone.
You can get it from Gurgaon. There is a Spice care on Mehrauli road, Ggn..
09991705042, This is no. of one of their employee, His name is Pradeep.
Yes. That’s true, i don’t know the reason for this but i too tried that without wiping the data. It didn’t worked. But anyways its good that its working and as far as the data and apps are concerned. i got all the apk of all the apps installed from /data/app. and those which were not present there were present in /mnt/asec/. So the apps can be backed up easily. you don’t need to re install from Google play. and the data like music and photos can easily be stored to any PC or the SD card of the phone. hope, this will solve the problem of data losing.
