Try this at your own risk. I am not a developer, so I can't help you if you brick your phone
All the Credit goes to the original developers in the links shared below.
I found a guide on the net for upgrading Star Mobile Astra to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 with Kernel 3.4.0 and tried it successfully to get JB on my Celkon A200. I have also replaced the recovery image and put TWRP recovery image before flashing.

}
improvements that I noticed after the update are there.
- Considerable improvement in performance
- GPS connection time has improved drastically (connected within a minute where as it used to take >5 mins)
- WiFi connection time improved slightly
- FW upgrade using Wireless option added (There was one minor update which V24 got downloaded. As I had changed the recovery image the upgrade did not happen) [EDIT: It worked with stock recovery image]
Cons
- As expected your phone becomes Starmobile ASTRA, not Celkon anymore
- Status bar cannot be pulled down unless the screen is unlocked
- Few Bloatware targeted to Philippines market
How To:
Follows the steps explained here: http://www.techbloggerzone.com/2013/06/how-to-update-starmobile-astra-to-android-4-1-jelly-bean.html, if you don't want to change the default recovery image.
(There is slight chance that using ASTRA recovery image MAY brick your device, but I have also used ASTRA recovery image also successfully on Celkon A200).
Replacing recovery image to TWRP
1) Download TWRP rcovery image from http://content.wuala.com/contents/ja...3.2.3.img?dl=1
2) Download Starmobile Astra Jellybean files from https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1tFliTP64sUSHhDWEp2NWw1TjA/edit?pli=1 (it is ~530Mb)
3) Download and unzip the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119 from the downloaded file from Step 2. In the extracted folder go to...\SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119\V23\image folder and delete recovery.img file. Copy recoveryTW2.3.2.3.img file from the earlier download. Double click on Checksum_generate.exe to update the checksum. Now you have TWRP in your JB flash file.
Flashing Jellybean ROM
Now follow the instruction exactly as provided here http://www.techbloggerzone.com/2013/06/how-to-update-starmobile-astra-to-android-4-1-jelly-bean.html and your Celkon A200 is updated to Jelly Bean and you have a Starmobile ASTRA phone working for you.

QMobile Noir A10 Stock ROM [ICS v4.0.4]
Hello everyone! I was browsing around the Noir A10 rooting threads and came to know that many users are having problems with their custom ROM's so they want to revert back to the Stock ICS ROM. This is why I have made a CWM Flashable ZIP of the Stock ROM so the users can easily revert back to stock anytime.
I took a nandroid backup using CWM Recovery and then converted it into a CWM Flashable ZIP using an updater script, instead of just providing it as a CWM Backup.

You need to write an updater script for that purpose.
Follow this tutorial.

Before we proceed, let me remind you guys, that you are doing this at your own risk and no one is to be held responsible!!!
This ROOTing procedures and installing of CWM works perfectly on my device, so read and follow all the instructions carefully!!!:fingers-crossed:
We can install CWM without rooting this phone, so feel free to choose where do you want to start...:highfive:
Part 1
Rooting Your Phone
Download files below and do the following procedures.
MT65xx_USB_Driver
RootFiles
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1.Download RootFiles and MT65xx_USB Driver from the links above and extract on your desktop.
2. Enable USB Debbuging Mode and Unknown Sources of your phone.
3. Connect your phone into your computer and wait until successfully recognized.
You may also want to check on your computers Device Manager if the driver is properly installed.
4. Open the RootFiles that you extracted on your desktop, right click on "run.bat" and run as administrator.
5. Follow on screen instructions...
6. Go to your phone and allow to complete rooting process.
7. Your phone will automatically reboot after rooting, check your apps and there should be SU (superuser apps) installed. Done! You have succesfully rooted your phone.
Part 2
Installing Custom Recovery (CWM)
Download files below and again follow the steps...
ScatterFile
RecoveryImageOnly for Starmobile D7!!!
SP FlashTool
Preloader.bin file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By the way I use MTKDroid Tools to create the Scatter File and the Recovery Image. Just head on the LINK, if you want to know more about MTKdRoid Tool thanks to rua1:good:
Moving on...
1. Extract all the files you downloaded from the links above on your desktop, and it's better to put them on same folder.
2. Right cllick on SP Flashtool and run as administrator.
3. Click on Scatter-Loading and look for the "ScatterFile".
4. Uncheck everything except for the recovery and look for "recovery.img" and hit enter, F9, or download button.
5. Click yes then turn off your phone, remove and put back the battery.
6. SP FlashTool will start downloading the custom recovery image.
7. Wait until finish downloading...the next screen will appear and hit enter.
Congratulations!!! You have now a Custom Recovery installed. Turn your phone off, and just press VOL UP + POWER BUTTON to enter into your new recovery.
NOW your phone is ready for customization, but before doing that...SECURE A NANDROID BACKUP !!!
I dont have customROM available for this device yet, but thanks to rovo89 for his great Xposed Framework
With this great application, you can now modify your ROM without modifying any APK's or flashing from recovery!!!
Some customization done on my phone is the APM (advance Power Menu)
Volume option to set independently
I also managed to backup the stock ROM of this device, that can be easily download back to your phone by means of SP FlashTool. (assuming you have messed up your phone system and failed to work properly)
Other purpose of the full backup is for the customROM, (wish that some of our good devs here might find time to take a look and help us make a customROM out of it)
I'm not good of creating customROM, but I'm hoping that I could build one...regards to all!!!:fingers-crossed:
This is my first thread so please consider this , just post any comment if i missed anything...thanks!!!

Unbrick Xolo Q1000 Opus

So finally here is the way to unbrick our Q1000 opus, and re-flash the stock rom. This will restore your phone to prestine condition ... just the way it was when you first got it in
Requirements
Downlod the below mentioned files
1. DFU Tools.zip
2. Update.zip
Steps
this is a fairly simple process, i have put all the necessary stock image files into the zip, first we will flash the img files to our phone using DFU tools then we will use stock recovery to flash the update.zip containing Jellybean Stock Rom...Just follow the below steps :silly::silly:
Step 1
extract the contents of DFU Tools.zip
Step 2
Open "DFU Tools" folder and run "install_drivers"
{

It will take a while to install , then you'll get the success message
Step 3
After Drivers are poperly installed, open dfu.exe
At first it will give you an error message shown below.. just click ok and proceed to next step
Step 4
Browse for the variant file contained in variant folder
Step 5
After loading variant you will see that the img files to be flashed are showing in the DFU tool window
Now go to the "DOWNLOAD" tab
Step 6
Below screen will show up ... when it does .. You need to connect Your phone to usb in power off state
Step 7
Phone will get detected and flashing will start ... after flashing is over phone will reboot, if it does not reboot then manually take out the battery and poweron the phone

So i unpacked that Be Pro recovery image and mixed it with Be Touch stock recovery image and repacked that. Also modified stock Be Touch boot.img.
Now we have working Carliv Touch Recovery (Thanks Carliv) and root in Be Touch.

-Check boot and recovery and select files from files-folder (Uncheck others if they are checked)
-Push download button
-Remove battery from the phone and connect USB
-Disconnect USB when SP Flash Tool says OK
-Install battery and start phone with vol up + power
-Select install zip from sdcard and select super su
-Reboot phone and you are done

So I'm guessing all we have to do is install the drivers, open the flash tool, point the recovery and boot image in there, flash then after install the root zip from internal/external card and all will be working?
I would say proceed as mentioned in the steps above. You are just repeating what has been mentioned above
Thank you for that 1st rooting technique.
Did you know if OTA updates are still working with it ?
Took 1 minute to root! Phantastic, thank you a lot for that easy description!
