How to run A5, A7 GB roms on Karbonn A9 (UPDATE)

Voila!!!!!
I found a way to run Karbonn A5's and Karbonn A7's GB based roms on our beloved Karbonn A9!!!!!
First flash the downloaded rom of A5/A7 on A9 through CWM....
Reboot.....
If you hear a sound and black screen or no sound only black screen...den u r good to go further......
Goto recovery mode...
Restore boot.img of A9...
Again reboot....
Victory!!!!!!! You will see smaller icons on bigger screen of our A9....
Just change pixel density from build.prop to 240 using any build.prop editor.....(u must be rooted)...
Super Victory u will be running the Roms on A9 which were actually made for A5 and A7....
Note:
No resolution problem as all of the phones contain HDPI folder in all the apps...
This method is given by me because unzipping the rom and adding boot.img of our device and again zipping it and flashing....doesn't work most of the time...so no quarreling with me....
I tested...
1. Ics1.0.6 A5
2. Backstreet Mod A5
3. Meosuper's Galaxy Mod A7
4. Meosuper's Xperia Mod A7
5. Backstreet Mod 4.0 A5 (new)
6. Backstreet Mod 4.1 A7 (new)
I dont remember if I tried other roms!!!!
U must hav backup before doing this...dont blame me afterwards....
This research definately deserves atleast a thanks....so press thanks button....believe me it's frreeeee.......
Important: sensors may not work....
Edit: I have provided Patch for sensors and camera in BM 4.0 Patch thread...

Bro....basebands are specifically made for the whole motherboard of phone, it may contain different configurations for different parts included like display, sensors and mainly network chip receiver. Since we have same processor and hdpi folder in the apps of A5/A7, we are able to boot the roms....I hope u understand....

I understand doing R&D is fine but if baseband is same then changing the ROM with other GB ROM exactly not making any sense. Unnecessary you are putting your phone in trouble.
We should not buy Karbonn phones next time better invest some good amount to buy some international brand.

I don't understand how did cheaper phones like A5 and A7 got ICS update and we didn't get. From where did they obtain the required baseband and kernel files?

SAD THING
bro yesterday i had tried many gb base rom for my A9 all are work but i think a9 rom having beteer interface than those roms also one more thing is Camera is not working in all of them.in Some roms Google play store is also not working
so i think better to waste time on gb rom intallation we have to find out from where they got the base band files for A5 & A7

The boot.img if used from A9 ROM can boot and work well with A5 / A7 ROMS
I dont think This is a good idea not to buy these handsets, these phone got ICS, and might get JB soon

Nice , just wanted to know how you made it boot this will be a great step towards development of A9 ROMS.
The baseband for A9 is not available anywhere. I searched, still searching.
Some ROMs are posted on A9 thread though, GB based. Should work well

Need Help
Hey guys, I'm new here, and I'd be really grateful if somebody, anybody could give me a clue as to how to root this device i.e. Karbonn A9.
I know this is not the right thread, and there is another huge thread on rooting, but that thread seems dead and I'm not getting any answers.
I read and re read all the steps throughout the post, and yet I'm stuck at the very first step.
The drivers do not get installed on my x64 windows 7 system, and I can't do crap after that.
I have the rooting kit provided by fonehacker (live long and prosper), but it's useless because the device drivers can't be installed.
I tried the 4shared download drivers provided earlier, but they don't seem to work either.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
P.S. I tried adding the certificates and tried again. nothing.

Strange....Camera is working perfect after release of custom kernel of @Andrixu...Do u have old MMX FON or the Latest one...as latest MMX A110 is not supporting camera on 4.2.2..although our devs r contionuosly working to fix it asap..in case if u hv old MMX than try to.reflash the latest kernel of @Andrixu (which u can find in ANDROID ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT FORUM) then ur both the cameras will work perfectly..

here is my phone : http://www.evertek.com.tn/index.php/EverShine#!aboutus
( EverShine ) it's a clone of mmx a110
and i have tested the two boot.img, of Andiroxu and varun, and the same problem remain
i think when modded, this news boot.img contain only driver for mmx a110, not an universal drivers for other clones
which is not the case with the boot.img of the "4.1.x" version

am i the only one facing fc while opening face and voice unlock on legoice canvas 4 r

Lollipop 5.0 for Xolo Q3000

Hi All,
Any update on this.:fingers-crossed:
Does Xolo Q3000 is compatible with android lollipop 5.0??

It specs are good the Xolo should give new Android 5.0 to Q3000
It specs are good the Xolo should give new Android 5.0 to Q3000.
I am waiting to

Mediatek 6589t
What my guess is that we need to wait for some time as mediatek needs to upgrade to Android L for our 6589T chip set.
Will wait for that
Battery backup will be the most significantly improved part if we get Android L

Dr. Avi will manage Lollipop 5.0, as he did previously, KitKat 4.4.2, before xolo launched the update.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Ya I am pretty sure AVI(avi3230) will port it to Q3K..
He is ROM machine for Xolo Q3K...:good:

You can try this once http://www.lollipop-update.org/mp3-0/xolo-q3000-5927.html

It doesnt seems to be real...as the download link have surveys..to get the file.

Anyone tried the above link & if yes then any luck

Tried alot but unable to get link..

that is fake!!! dont install or you gonna have a hard brick on your phone..wait for oficial thread here in XDA by real developers..:good:
