How to update Micromax Canvas 2 A110 to Official Jelly Bean Android 4.1.1 Firmware

Last week, Micromax had released their official Android V4.1.1 Jelly Bean upgrade for their Canvas 2 A110 ‘Superfone’ as they promised earlier of this month. But, it is a shame that instead of making the upgrade available “over-the-air” (OTG), the company is asking the users to carry their device to the nearest Micromax authorized service center physically to obtain this upgrade.
