Hi There,
I am in a crisis situation here. I have owned this Karbonn A1+ for about 10 months now. Never attempted anything as I dont use it majorly. Recently I rooted it with Z4root. It was successfull.
Later as i was going through the forums about Karbonn, found that there is a custom ROM (Xperia ROM) for it and hence went ahead in trying the same. Since then, the phone will not go beyond the Karboon Logo. I tried various methods by trying to flash the stock from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279278
Even that didnt help. Screen is stuck at checking Baudrate but does nothings even after 30 min and I still have Karbonn logo on phone. then I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405153
When I tried that the phone goes beyond the logo and gives a white screen and thats it. when i press the power button the screen goes off and on. so i am guessing the phone booted to OS but not giving me any thing to work on.
Meantime I learned how to create custom ROM. I built one but even that doesnt help as I am again stuck at the Karbonn Logo.
Presently I am able to go to CWM ver 6.0.3
The phones H/W ver is 4.0.0 and the S/W version is 1.0.6
Can somebody help me with the flashable version of Stock Rom or the Backup....
Sorry for a Verbose thread, I tried to be as clear as I can....

All you have to do (given your situation) is perform a complete wipe (using a custom recovery: in your case, CWM) before trying to install anything. Remember, you need to install the specified/correct Kernel to work with a given ROM.

Thanks for the reply. However I am well aware of wiping data before installing, and the same was done before trying the Xperia ROM. Presently I am in need of a Flash-able stock ROM or Custom ROM or even a backup that will work with the hardware and software versions I have....

Well, I hope you find what you are looking for. But I can say, after downloading the Xperia ROM for your device, I wasn't able to find a Kernel in it. As I said in the previous post, you need to install the specified/correct Kernel to work with a given ROM. Just remember that the next time you go ahead and flash something.
some questions.
can you still boot to recovery?
did you took complete backup before messing with it (using cwm)?
what is h/w and s/w version IN the phone and behind your mobile battery?

Hi Jay, My apologies if my previous statement sounded like a teenager. this thing is just driving me crazy as i never had any issues with other phones. i have rooted Motorola, samsung, htc and never faced any issues like this.
what you are saying about kernal totally makes sense, however i was under the impression that boot.img may contain this already and tried putting that file in the ROM and flashed it when it didnt work for first time. which again didnt help much. if you know how kernals works. Please tell me what to look for in them....

The problem is not on your behalf mate; it's just that the ROM you obtained didn't come with all the necessary/correct files. I also presume Karbonn is not a very big company (I've personally never heard of it), and it's immediately obvious that there are not many developers that are working on this device - probably why you can't find any proper ROMs, kernels etc.
I guess I'm not really helping you in any way and I'm sorry about that - I don't know of any ROMs or kernels for your device. When I first replied to your thread, I was under the impression that you had that covered. However, I can say, loosely, that there are two main types of kernels - one type for proprietary OEM ROMs, and the other type for AOSP ROMs. Most custom ROMs are based on AOSP (I am under the impression that the ROM you obtained is too), so OEM kernels will not work these ROMs. I really hope this helps, in the future at least, if not now.
Hi Max, any update?

I had a link of your solutions but its not working.
you should search for your backup if it is successfully done.
because your sw version is 1.0.6 and xperia rom is based on 2.0.2.
so the your old kernel is not accepting new rom.
so you should try link given by zerocool.( I was going to provide you the same link)
Its best rom until now. I have no issues with it. Just replace the kernel and bootloader to your kernel from your nandroid backup.
But since you dont have one, you should try it whole as it is.

Hi Jay, thanks for following up :good:
There is nothing left to extract from your phone since you have flashed everything from that backup rom. :banghead:
Now there is only one way to search for older roms, extract bootloader and kernel, replace in that rom and try to restore.
You can start from google.
There are some old files in karbonn a1+ wiki post, you can try them.
Also dont forget to replace recovery file to your working cwm recovery.

Hey guys i`ve recently managed to get an SGS 4G Vibrant ( i believe that i am at right place to seek for help ) , i have the T-Mobile version of the phone. I need help switching to different/better ROM, at this moment the phone uses the stock one ( or i believe so ). I`ve been tru the threads and saw that there are a lot of stuff posted about what you need to do/have to flash a rom, but i just cant understand the right order of doing the things.
If its posible can someone really quick just post the steps for the guide for flashing a ROM to the phone. I have previous expiriance with android phone and i am aware how thing go, just as i said i cant get the right order of puting all the thing at one place.
For the phone i used to have was like, first i had to install an stocklike ROM which had recovery, but before that i had to get some kind of software for LG that alowes to flash the rom via download mode. So is the same here? It would be awesome if someone can link or atleast type all the software and other thing i need to have installed to make this work. For now what i have is the USB drivers for Samsung.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, that helped, not sure how i missed it. I am gonna write down what i did so far, so you could see if i messed up something.
I rooted the phone via SuperOneClick 2.2, then i installed the SGS Kernel Flasher, and then flashed the kernel, my current phone was running an 2.3.7 android, so i used the Basic with a Twist`s kernel ( i hope i did it right ), and now the phone rebooted and some different boot screen apiared with some Robotic Chick speeking some stuff, BUT for now the phone load to there, it doesnt wannt to load.
So did i messed up something, or ....
Can you go into recovery by holding Volume Up+Volume Down while pressing the power button and as soon as the SGS 4G splash appears leaving the power button ?
If so and you can see CWM Ver. 5.0... then kernel was successfully flashed.
You shouldn't be getting a bootloop.
What ROM do you want to flash ? If you want to flash GB then I suggest Barebone/Valhalla of some kind.
If you want ICS - Go to the CM 9.1 thread and follow the instructions. After that you may change to AOKP or MIUI or all the rest of the ICS ROMs you wanna try.

This section is not for the Vibrant.
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708
I am sorry I do not know how to get you back to where you started before flashing the wrong ROM.
Good luck
Well, it wasnt a bootloop, it just loaded to some point and stoped. Gladly still got the download mode and brought it back to normal to how it was. Thats why i came here to ask, `couse there are too much similiar sgs`s and stuff for them here, i just got confused whats what. Got to start from scratch anyway, at least i didnt bricked it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1 <---- That's a post by Lumin 30 with a guide on how to get from stock to custom GB. If you want to get to ICS then use CWM 5.0.x.x.
My wife has a Optimus T running the stock ROM. Her phone is out of internal storage space and I thought that this would be a good time to put something newer on it. I offered to give her my Galaxy Nexus or get her a Nexus 4 but she loves her phone. She thinks mine is to big and complicated.
I admit that I did not spend a lot of time searching for a solution for her phone and figured that you guys would know best about what is best for this phone. Is there a functional CM9, 10 or 10.1? That would be the best solution, IMHO for her. The main thing I am looking for is stability. Flashy ROMS with lots of bells and whistles are out. Basic ASOP type of ROM is what she wants.
Thanks in advance.

I admitted that I did not spend a lot of time searching for an answer, but I could not determine if the P500 and the P509 use the same ROM. The threads that I did review were not explicitly state that they would work on the P509.
Try Gingersnap by neko. Use link2sd to extend memory.
Thanks to those that helped. I got CM9 on it and it is working great!

I guess its ok to ask this: for cm9 flash, what tool did you use? did you just load it via the manual boot-to-recovery and use cwm or twrp, or did you use something like Goo ?

I just used the latest CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523050
I have a lg optimus t myself. I rooted using super one click. Then from play store installed from manager aka clockwork mod. The rom I am using is the latest icy snap which has a built in app2sd thing. This requires formatting though so backup first. In fact its best to do a backup right in clockwork mod then store that backup on computer. Pm me if you wish. Once my power is restored and I have a regular keyboard I can give better instructions.

I read repeatedly that ROM Manager does not work on Optimus T/500/509 . before I restored a stock rom I had run it on my handset and I'm not sure what happened to be honest. i had a sorta half-installed CWM.... CWM itself was non-functional, but if I ran Nandroid Online Backup app [from the play store] it would work, stash a fresh backup in the CWM folder on the SD card.
I have read elsewhere that if you run ROM Manager several times, just as if nothing had installed on first pass, it will finally get cwm installed, but I don't trust it. Wish we had a "superoneclick" type tool for installing one of the good custom recoveries.
if anyone knows the term commands for installing cwm, or twrp, or whatever workable custom recovery, i'd love to hear of it - been looking all over but what I find is usually half-described, followed by many posts/replies of fails.

I also recommend AmonRa recovery, its tried and true and you shouldn't run into any problems
thanks for this 3
I have that winfastboot /android-flash-recovery tool - the problem with this handset, which is noted hundreds if not thousands of times, is to try [without a custom recovery] to boot to fastboot mode usually means you will not get fastboot but you will get to reinstall all your stuff again because it will reset your phone . so.. I'm willing to try amonra, twrp,, whatever someone claims has succeeded on p509 but just need plain instruction. there is no magic bullet like there is superoneclick for rooting. can't use goomanager. we see how well rom manager turned out.... if you happen to have a link to something that gives the steps to any of these including cwm I would be quite appreciative. I can't count the number of threads and youtubes, blogs, etc I"ve been through that are titled something like "how to install a custom recovery on optimus _[whatever]" only to find them linking to an xda thread, which in turn has no specific install steps :crying:, or worse... incomplete or erroneous.

I apologize, my previous advice was generic for any phone. After looking in to your model I did not see any custom recoveries available for it, nor have I found anyone claiming to have a custom recovery running.
Can you post a link to the recovery that you flashed? Obviously it was not from the ClockworkMod site: clockworkmod.com/rommanager as there is no official recovery for your model. Of course, you might have found an unofficial testing version somewhere else. If so let me know and I will help you look into reflashing it.

I could not find any. To my knowledge, it is not possible to flash anything but stock firmware to your phone, nor are there any recoveries aside from the one already on it.
Your phone is not too old, so someone might still develop a custom recovery and eventually 3rd party ROMs. However, it is worth noting that might never happen. If you wish to flash ROMs and such, it is generally a good idea to purchase a more popular device. More users = more devs = more customizations made.

You are welcome. Does it claim to be incompatible with your device? It might not be able to physically work on your chipset, which means it will not work on your phone unless the devs release an update. If you would like to purchase it anyways just to try it out, you can download a modified Play Store APK that removes device/region restrictions. I have not used such an APK, so I cannot help much beyond linking you to the last one I saw featured here on XDA. That is a pretty old Play Store, so you might Google around to see if you can find a newer version like version 4.x or so. While I have not had much success with the application personally, Lucky Patcher might be able to remove the region/device checks from your current Play Store. If none of those options work, the only route left is illegitimate and not spoken of here.
I have the same E455 and I just want to enter that stock recovery. how do I do that?
I've tried every key combination possible . it just wont enter recovery.
LG site is no help at all about this. just look at the other south Korean phone maker.
the difference is day and night. everything is available for sammy devices . oh,well

You are welcome. Does it claim to be incompatible with your device? It might not be able to physically work on your chipset, which means it will not work on your phone unless the devs release an update. If you would like to purchase it anyways just to try it out, you can download a modified Play Store APK that removes device/region restrictions. I have not used such an APK, so I cannot help much beyond linking you to the last one I saw featured here on XDA. That is a pretty old Play Store, so you might Google around to see if you can find a newer version like version 4.x or so. While I have not had much success with the application personally, Lucky Patcher might be able to remove the region/device checks from your current Play Store. If none of those options work, the only route left is illegitimate and not spoken of here.

Hey Axims,
I`m also ended up on a dead end for this problem.
But yesterday i accidentally switched on my mobile by holding volume UP + quick access button + Power Button. I`m entered into recovery mode but i cant use that mode its only allows LG service representatives to use. Do u know anything about it??????...
It would gives us a clue to enter into our recovery...
If u know anything about it please reply......,
Thanking you.
Hmm, I'm becoming more and more suspicious that it's just a mock screen and not a real recovery.
otherwise, why we can't enter it?
why lg is so tight lipped about it?
some senior member here tried couple of days helping me make a cwm for it. he was always
complaining about the odd size of boot.img and recovery.img that something is not right there.
maybe he's right and lg screwed us . who knows

Stickies are posts that are generally considered extremely useful so they get "stuck" at the top of the list in the forums, so they are seen first and can resolve peoples questions without much looking. Like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785999 . From personal experience I'd recommend using PhilZ touch recovery. It's done the trick for me so far. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557024
Thanx Cyndar, tried with philz touch, but the same.. still loops... and cant find anything in the stickies. I think to just stay with 4.3
so... who needs google now?
Thanx again

imo stay with stock or whatever you got working until you read some more, youre a brick waiting to happen or a newb with questions that have been repeatedly answered.

Google now is in 4.3. Stop messing with your phone until you know what you're doing.

If you are trying the nightly ROMs, they have a known issue loading for the past few releases. Go back and find a Jan20-something nightly and give that a shot. Again...there are known boot loop issues with the nightly ROMs starting Feb1.

1. Download UCMC1 modem and install it
2. Go into CWM Philz thread and use Odin to install it
3. Flash your rom.
I did it with AOSB (amazing work) but had problems with PA GAPPS flashing, so i took the gapps zip from the Avatar rom and it's been working extremely nicely. As an added touch by suggestion from another user, I flashed the Uber Kernal on top of it after.
But like the others said, seriously, slow down and read the instructions rather than jumping around and accidentally screwing something up
Hello everyone.
I have an Alcatel One Touch 908F running Android 2.2.2 that I chose to root and install a 2.3 ROM since no official update was released and it had a lot of advantages that I really need. I successfully rooted it with VROOT, install a CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery and flashed two custom ROMs based on 2.2.2 (the one for Alcatel One Touch 908S WIND, and the one for Alcatel One Touch 908Q T-Mobile) just for testing.
Both successfully worked with no problems at all (except the fact that Back, Home and Menu changed their places but it was fixed by flashing a tool that I found on this forum - Thank you so much, developers!) so I wanted to flash a 2.3 ROM, but I didn't realize that it wasn't approprite (It was only for Alcatel One Touch Telenor, and the worst: it wasn't told in the instructions!). I knew it when, once my phone booted for the 1st time, it showed the "Telenor" logo reversed on top, and white lines at the bottom of the screen. So I reverted back to my stock ROM using a backup made with CWM.
I got the stock ROM again. Only now, neither the touchscreen nor the lighting Home, Menu and Back keys are working! Hitting the screen acts like hitting the Menu button!
I tried many ROMs, and it didn't work. Well, the good thing is that I still have root access, USB debugging enabled and CWM 5.0.2.8 recovery.
I'm really desperate. My phone is out of warranty. Is my phone really as useful as a brick, now? I hope it isn't. Can you help me, please? I urgently need my phone to work again because I can't afford to buy a new one or repair it! Is there any software that can bring my only smartphone back to life? Shall I switch to TWRP recovery? Which ROM shall I flash?
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
UP... (Since there was no reply for so long...)
I see, it is not a popular model
I found out that the problem can be solved by flashing the stock kernel which contains the original touchscreen drivers needed to make it work again, but I couldn't find the file. Can anyone upload it for me, please? If this is not the right way,
Does anyone have another, please? Thank you!

Flash everything ( including ROM , boot.img etc. ) created for your device . It will solve the problem .
As a warning, don't flash other device's firmware , until you became a porter or using an Android one :sly:
Hope I helped !
