[Q] - General Questions and Answers

I have Karbonn A5+ phone. I did not find any tuts online tailor made for this model A5"+"', though I found very great resource for Karbonn A5, which I presumed that must be same as A5+ but just with lower processing power (855MHz vs 1GHz). They look exactly the same. I tried to install the drivers for A5 as in youtube video (titled "Install Karbonn a5(K-touch w619 drivers" by Vikas Singh), am not able to paste external links since this is my first post ) and link, they seem to be installed properly.
I tried to install CWM recovery as shown in youtube video (titled "Install Karbonn A5(k-touch w619) CWM Recovery") by the same person who prepared above video for A5. It said that the CWM recovery was flashed successfully and the rebooted. But when I tried to reboot the phone in recovery mode it did not show the CWM menu, it just stuck at red screen.
What could be wrong? Does these drivers are incompatible? If yes, how can I test them? Or the CWM provided in the description of the video above may be incompatible with my phone? If yes where can I get proper CWM recovery for this phone? Now I tried reflashing the CWM recovery twice but it did not helped, So how can I get at least my stock recovery back? And how can I install CWM recovery properly?
Well I know I asked too much question stupidly. But just anxious as am noob.

Hey bro you still there?
I think I can help you to take back your custom recovery . We have same problem and now I realize that CWM is only for a5 and not for a5+
I use TWRP instead for CWM .
Reply this thread and Ill try to explain it to you.

Thanks for reply. I got stock recovery for my phone. Actually it happened that the Stock recovery was common for many other models, but the custom CWM was for A5. With that stock recovery flashed, I have got my recovery back. But am not able to obtain custom CWM for A5+. I havent thought of TWRP.

Qobile Noir A500 Wrongly Rooted and Wong CWM Recovery flashed.

I recently bought a Qmobile A500 Noir, but wanted to flash it with a Custom ROM. Not paying much attention to the model of my cell phone I by mistake rooted it with Noir A900 procedure as defined in one of the posts, instead of A500 and also tried flashing CWM recovery. Identifying that I have used the wrong procedure of a different model, I instantly searched for A500 and got the procedure in of the the posts. Now the issue is that when I try to go in Recovery Mode, my cell phone screen goes complete White, and after a min it auto restarts and boots normally. I am hating the fact that I cant go back in the Recovery Mode, nor in Stock Recovery because I suppose I have replaced it with a CWM Recovery of a wrong version . I want to reset and get back to Stock Recovery so that I can reset my phone and bring it back to its original state as I have found that there is no CWM Recovery or a Custom ROM present for A500 Noir currently. If anybody could please help me in this regard as I am clueless.

As posted by by one the member, whom i am highly obliged and grateful to, the Stock Recovery.img and Boot.img have been exteacted and posted in one of the post. Now how to Flash them using SP Flash tools is what I need the guidelines for. I do have the Scatter Recovery file, but I guess VCOM driver files, and Info files for Stock recovery are not present. If anyone who could please shed some light on it, would save me from trashing my phone. Providing the link for Stock Recovery and Boot files. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44351797

dude remember i told you about my wifi not working after creating the backup of my a500, I decided to flash the stock boot.img with recovery.img also using the flash tool, and now its working fine.
The purpose of mine mentioning this is that those files really worked for me.
In my opinion your problem should be easily solved by flashing the stock recovery.img bcoz u messed with this only by flashing anothers mobile recovery. :victory:
I just wish i can upload the whole backup of my A500 for you so you can get back ROM in working condition but I can't bcoz I have a slow internet speed. :crying:

Great.. Good to know atleast someone is back in action. Would be great if you could guide me on Flashing the Boot and Stock Recovery. i checked my device status. My Boot Loader is UNKNOWN and Radio has no path.. probabaly that is the reason my Sim cards are not being detected and due to Boot i cant get in my recovery mode.

Since i got the backup so i finally decided to mess up with the recovery. Just flashed Noir A20 Recovery on A500 using mobile uncle tool and BANG it doesn't work. All what I am getting is white screen while entering the recovery mode. I tried reverting back to stock recovery.img using Mobile Uncle tools but no vain. Just going to try it twice than will flash it using SP flash tool if it fails! Stay tuned! :highfive:

Dude Finally I flashed the stock recovery.img using the sp flash tool. it has become as your. I lost my stock recovery also and Unable to get back, i flashed it usning the Mobile Uncle tools but no vain.... :crying: :crying: :crying:
But still able to boot up normally and both sim working properly!
I think we had to work on our stock recovery.img or we are flashing it in wrong manner. Or there may be a chance I extracted it in wrong way. Searching the XDA Forum for possible answers and waiting for a more senior member to help us in this case!

Malik Sb, I am sorry to hear about you loosing the Stock Recovery. I also took the backup, just in case... but now I am stuck at exactly the same condition where you are. Additionally i tried flashing G520 Huwawaii recovery.img, which took away my Sim card Detection too. Now the screen has gone blank. After alot of research and deleting files from the device Internal memory and SD card, I downloaded an app called Discovery something, its a turkish app. It downloaded the Original Recovery for me, I then flashed it using MobileUncle and now i am back to the White Recovery screen, which automatically restarts and boots my phone, but I still done have any luck with my Sim cards. going to Qmobile Service Centre to try luck.

Beware your warranty will be void! last time i mistakenly flashed the Wrong stock ROM on my Noir A5 using the SP flash tool due to which i bricked my device and I was having no option rather than going to service center where they scoldED me and said " WHO HAS GIVEN YOU THE PERMISSION TO MESS UP WITH THE STOCK FIRMWARE OF QMOBILE???" And i replied "DUDE PLZ FIX IT I WON'T DO IT AGAIN"
and they fix it for free but put a huge stamp on my digicom warranty card written WARRANTY VOID :crying:

Havent used such kinda app. The only best thing to create the nandroid backup is by using a CWM/TWRP recovery bcoz it is easy to restore also and helps you unbricked your device if you are soft bricked! :fingers-crossed:

Unfortunately there is no full backup of our Qmobile Noir A500 through MTK Droid Tool. But xda user hamsam has uploaded his nandroid backup which would of great use for you.
1) Download this nandroid backup by hamsam, from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444089
2) Place the downloaded files in SD card. {Note: Place them in correct folder otherwise CWM wont detect it}
3) Get CWM recovery for A500 and flash it through SP flash tool.
3) Boot into recovery and restore the backup you dowloaded.
4) Reboot. :victory:
Now if you want you can backup your ROM through MTK Droid Tools for the safe side or always kept the nandroid backup in your SDcard and PC aswell.

Consider the following options:
1) Try to flash stock boot.img through SP flash tool.
2) If still problem remains then try to write original IMEI using MTK Droid Tool
I never used these method but i think it should work for you. :angel:
From where else i can get other files of a500 like ebr1, uboot, preloader etc

[Q] How to install Nokia x ROM on Karbonn a21

Hi I folllowed the article in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2675715 which tells how to install nokia x into Karbonn a21.
I installed CWM Recovery 5.x.x.x(I don't remember the exact number).
Then I wiped the cache, data and Dallvik Cache.
After that I tried to "Install from SDCard" > then selected the Nokia X. Zip file
The CWM says, looking for Update.zip and tries to install Update.zip
after 1 min it says update has been installed, after rebooting I can't see the nokia look and feel.
Should I use only twrp Recovery, or CWM is fair enough.
Why does he search for update.zip, can't it install everything inside the ZIP file?.
I did tried to install the TWRP through the fastboot but after that my recovery mode stopped working. I may have to fall back to the CWM recovery now.
Finally, let me know anyone who tried to install this on Karbonn A21 and succeded.
same problem....i've been trying to find a solution....no progress....
or else Can anyone provide twrp recovery for karbonn a21 ??
can anyone plz give idea to install twrp recovery in my karbonn a21!!
will b overwhelmed if so!!!!

ROM gets successfully installed but it again comes to CWM recovery.

I was using custom ROM without taking backup of previous version and I factory reset my devise then operating system also got deleted and i stuck on CWM recovery
when i tried to install another ROM it gets successfully installed but Samsung logo comes and again CWM recovery opens
i tried a lot but same thing happens, i tried to use Odin but it is not detecting my devise
plz help me to see something on phone except recovery
Samsung galaxy core I8262
That means that you're flashing incompatible software, then, as your device is unable to found a bootable boot image, it gaves up and decides to go to the recovery, to "tell you" to flash another ROM.
I moved this to the Galaxy Core forum to get more replies.
My solution would be Odin flash 100% stock, boot to make sure it boots, then Odin flash CWM and then reflash the custom ROM.
