Okay. You can try the steps below:
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Flash custom recovery
3) Root your phone
4) Boot into recovery and restore from there
5) Reboot your phone to see if the problem is solved.
If the problem that you were facing is solved then
6) Full unroot you device
7) Reflash stock recovery
8) Relock the bootloader *
Done! And now, you will be able to install the OTA updates .

*If you are not rooted and have stock recovery in your phone already, I don't think locking your bootloader is necessary to install the OTA updates.

No. But you will be able to download the OTA updates but it will not be installed on your phone.
Installing OTA updates require Stock Recovery.
You need to unlock your bootloader and then flash the stock recovery for your phone.
So how i install stock recovery bro pls tell

How did you flash custom recovery with locked bootloader???
Sent from my A1 using XDA Free mobile app
Follow the instructions below.
1) Backup all your important data
2) Download the zip file from the attachment and extract it into a folder of your choice
3) Enable USB Debugging on your phone and connect it to your PC via USB cable
4) Open the folder where you extracted the downloaded attachment
5) Run "Unlock Bootloader.bat" file. Follow the on-screen instructions. This will unlock your bootloader and will factory reset your phone. Your phone will now reboot automatically.
6) Go to Settings >> About Phone >> Tap on Build Number 10 times >> Go back to Settings >> Developer Mode >> Allow USB Debugging . A pop-up message will appear on your screen asking you to confirm USB Debugging from your PC. Tap on Allow.
7) Now, connect your phone again by enabling USB Debugging mode.
8) Run "Recovery Installer.bat" from the extracted folder. Now, your phone has stock recovery (for Micromax Canvas A1). Your phone will now reboot automatically.
9) Again, Run "Lock Bootloader.bat" file from the extracted folder. This will relock your bootloader.
---------------------
Now, your bootloader is locked and you have stock recovery in your phone. You can confirm this by booting your phone into recovery.
Now, you'll be able to install the OTA Updates.
DONE!
Moreover the official image file here: Android One Stock Recovery.img (KitKat) can be used to flash the stock recovery from fastboot mode or using flashify app in rooted phone.
nope that dosent work

Thanks in advance

while m doing this( 2. Transfer the downloaded OTA zip file to your phone (Do not put it inside a folder)
3. Now, switch off your phone, then boot into stock recovery mode (not CWM/TWRP). To do so, press the Power and Volume up buttons at the same time. Now, select recovery mode, you will see a dead Android with exclamation mark and “No Command” written below it. Hold Power, then tap Volume up (follow the order properly) and leave it.
4. From recovery, select “install update from sd card”, select the OTA zip file and wait for the update to be installed.
5. Once the installation process finished, reboot your phone.
Now your Canvas A1 will boot into Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Enjoy all the new features, including ‘adaptable storage’ on your phone (Source – arpanbag1996)

You must be in 2015 December 5.1.1 update to Install Marshmallow. 20150824 or 20151012 will NOT support directly install MM.
So update to 2015 December update. If you cant find through OTA, just manually download the OTA from forum (search somewhere).
to access recovery : go to adb and reboot to recovery. U will see the Android Logo without any text. Here press the Power and Volume+ button for 5 seconds and leave the keys. u will see the recovery menu.

i've got the x510 with 2gb of ram version. it came with the latest October update presintalled build 20151012. till now checking for update doesn't reflect the Marshmallow update.
recovery is not working (even by adb it goes to an android pic with no text or No Command available)
tried flashing recovery, no luck, reflashed all the available stock roms on the forum with no luck neither, no recovery and no marshmallow update
all flashing was done through SP Flash, with format or download only, no difference. stock original cable was used, vcom drivers present and SP tool read the phone perfectly.
X510-D5110-Androidone-20150824, X510-D5110-Androidone-20151012, X510-A1-FIX-20150824.
i even tried flashing twrp and pushing the Marshmallow update through it which never succeeded

If your phone is S-ON the ota update process must be started from Settings ---> Phone ---> About.
To manually install an ota update, your phone must be s-off, save the ota zip file at the root in your phone memory, boot the stock recovery (not twrp or cwm) version matching your firmware number. When the recovery start (red triangle) press volume up and power to enter stock recovery menu, select "apply from phone storage" and select the ota file.

yes, but in all situations, your /system partition must be 100% stock. Your cid and mid must be correct for the software version and the ota updates must be the right version (can't skip versions, it must be done incrementally).
What is your "fastboot getvar all" output? Might be easier to just flash the latest RUU instead of doing the OTA updates...

How do you think phone manufacturers are updating their phones? With OTA updates.
Latest ota update from htc (irrc was in 2015) was 7.xx.xxx.51 (android 5.0.2 with HTC Sense 6). Any phone running an older official version than that would receive a notification to download and install the ota update, even in 2017.
Now for custom rom update, refer to your rom thread for instructions. In most cases you only need to flash the zip using twrp. If this is a major update you might need to do a full wipe...
Sorry for the confusion but usually when ppl talk about "ota updates" they are referring official HTC software (there are not that much custom roms supporting ota updates).
I used Xenon a few months ago. iirc i was just flashing the update using twrp without wiping.

the root of your internal storage is /data/media/0 also referred as /sdcard (symlink). For example your download folder is located at /data/media/0/download (or /sdcard/download). Move your ota file one folder up (from /download to /sdcard) and you'll see it when in recovery mode by selecting 0/
