Thanks… Did it successfully… Consider getting ClockWorkMod, only if touch does not respond in TWRP else… TWRP is the best! ClockWorkMod navigates based on hardware buttons (Which most of the phones do support) so phones which have problems with touch navigation must definitely get this.

If the phone is not responding to charging, it won’t be possible to fix it. You can try in Micromax service center, they might fix it.

Can you charge the device? After plugging in the charger, does the device respond?
