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.

Help installing A rom

Please HElp,
I installed a rom named Zelly Cream by Gagan,my phone is sony ericsson mini pro ,locked bootloader,i followed all the steps.....after i installed the rom,my phone is stuck at the boot logo(SONY) please help!.
THANK YOU :fingers-crossed:

R: Help installing A rom
Maybe the rom is bad. It happens.
Did you use clockwork mod?
Maybe the problem is locked bootloader (although i've never had one).
Try with an older more stable verdion of the rom, if it works it means the rom you flashed is either unstable either the download was corrupted.
Also get clockwork mod if you already don't just download rom manager (official app) off the play store, it will mod your recovery mode in order to give you much more power and features over your phone when you're not inside android yet (useful for bricked states or bootloops such as yours)

Zelly cream rom is not compatible with your device.
You got stuck in bootloop.
Boot in to recovery mode and flash the stock rom.
Zelly Cream is compatible only for Xperia Arc, Arc S, Neo, Neo V, Pro and Ray
NOTE ABOUT PRO: IT IS SONY XPERIA PRO NOT SONY XPERIA MINI PRO. BOTH ARE DIFFERENT MOBILES.

you need flash official firmware with pc!and never use this rom

i had this rom in my xperia mini and untill now this rom run normally,but my device unlocked boot

1.There is no 4.3 for E and 4.2 isn't kitkat - 4.4 is and it's still in alpha stage
2.Read how to flash custom roms, watch a youtube tutorial if it helps and then install it following the instructions from the thread.

i know how to flash custom roms! but i need a link!

You can find it all in orginal android development... but i'll do it for you

Hey hey hey. Don't be so demanding bro. It's clearly stated by @Saleen28. There's no 4.3 nor 4.2 rom for xperia e. As long as our device (Xperia J). Just be thanks that we still have a good developer building 4.4 cm11 for our devices.

Suggestion

Dude what are you expecting....do you think it is going to happen never.....E1 hardware is completly different from E(chipset,screen,gpu)only camera and storage are same so it is impossible to port....now the only option for our Xperia E is to wait for stable cm11
