Hello everyone,
I am pretty much a big NOOB. I bought a Panasonic T11 a few weeks back. And I rooted it using VROOT, currently I have Kinguser. Replaced Android Keyboard with Google Keyboard in the System Rom using Titanium Backup Pro, and also make 2 software's into system applications. Everything's working fine, its just that it has been a learning experience(I just discovered how to get to recovery mode on this phone today!) and I have a few questions.
1>>I don't have a Stock Rom backup.
I made a backup of my ROM using Android System Recovery <e3> after I Rooted and did the above changes. What are the potential problems I may face in the future?
2>> There are no CWM Recovery or any custom Roms available for this phone.:crying:
The T11 came with an almost stock android. Only thing they did was add Wechat, Cam Scanner, and Cam Card to the ROM. Besides that everything is just stock android, which is a good thing for me:good:
I want to try and flash the Rom from other devices with the same processor(MSM8625Q), is this a good idea?
Thanks.

as for your recovery question, Android System <e3> does not make backup, it lets users (or service centers) manually update a phone if it needs an update or has something corrupt. you can also factory reset if someone has stolen it and wants to use it themselves (but thieves will never know that ). A custom recovery is say a way to have a way back if something goes wrong, say you flashed a rom but it only bootloops, you would use your backup and it would take you back to the way it was with all the apps you had before, do you need a custom recovery? yes and no, its nice to have one so you can get back. you dont need one but i dont think your changes will be a problem in the future.
for your second question: Nay, that is a Bad idea, if you were to try to flash that it would brick your phone. you can only flash roms if the device is almost identical, it has to have the same resolution/cpu/gpu/screen size i dont remember the order.
welcome to xda mate
Thanks for the quick reply.. It's was really informative. I just checked the backup zip created my the android e3 and all it had was the system folder
So to make it short. I need a custom recovery mod to back up my ROM or to flash a custom ROM. But, there are no custom recovery for my phone so what are my options?

You could request someone on your device forum to build a custom recovery for you. Also, for starters you must visit the thread in my signature to get some great tips to take advantage of your rooted phone without doing anything too risky.

like Atishay Jain said you could ask someone to make a custom recovery and from there someone might make a rom (probably no time soon) you could make your own rom once you get a recovery working. i would not use that same backup from the default recovery, and yeah pretty much custom recovery are the only way to flash roms for you.
Will try that.. Thanks

It depends what device you have. Different things can cause different devices to brick. Usually a "bricked" device is caused by a bad kernel (more so by over clocking or overvolting), (If you have an HTC device) a bad HBoot, flashing a leak that is incomplete or flashing an update (RUU, Odin, whatever) for the wrong device, or flashing a package for the wrong device or one that is improperly coded.
You CANNOT brick your device by flashing custom roms and recoveries or anything like that, and permanent, unfixable, hard bricks are VERY rare and are usually because someone did something stupid.
If you're worried about installing a custom ROM or something, don't worry, it won't brick you.

Thank you so much for clarifying this to me...
I am not total beginner, i possess Galaxy GT-I9001, for 4 months and i installed CWM last week, with complications, i used Odin 4.03 what one guy instructed to me, beside 4.43. First 4.03 failed and my phone failed to boot, I was worrying i could lose the phone. Then i used 4.43 from the Wiki tutorial what fixed the things...
Now i want to Root the phone, so this previous experience scared me, now i am not confident about it so I used to ask here...
So to clarify:
- rooting
-CWM
-flashing - installing custom ROMS
in proper way and following instructions won't brick my phone?
Is it possible that the dev/alpha/beta ROM versions could brick my phone?
How hard brick happens I am interested?
Is soft brick always fixable?
Sorry for bothering with this stupid questions, I am just not too confident, and i don't wanna destroy the phone, i've got no money for another
Thanks again and sorry if bad English
bricked= corrupted bootloader
a really bricked phone is like "dead' and the only way to solve this problem is to flash a new-and-happy bootloader by hardware tools like Medusa jtag jig also you can't solve bricked phone by PC software if yo do so then your phone is not really bricked
I don't know anything about hard/soft bricked what's that ??
you can't brick a phone by flashing a beta rom if you don't touch bootloader but you can destroy or cause hardware damage by flashing a rom/kernel not made for your phone so that's very important to know !
to prevent bricking your phone:
1. never use a flashing tool not made for your phone
2.when flashing bootloader made for your phone only use a stable PC connection/cable and is better to use a laptop on battery
3.about ROM Manager :if you don't see your phone in list never use it to flash recovery/rom
rooting means to get root access this is like your Administrator account in Windows OS well, it happens because by default phones come out from manufacturer with root disabled to protect the phone and their business
CWM is a custom recovery in fact this is a little OS that works like Safe Mode in Windows it can help you to flash a rom/update/theme etc
CWM recovery is different compared to stock recovery because it gives you the chance to flash custom things to your phone I mean you have to give a package a digital signature in order to flash it to your phone and stock recovery is restrictive it allows you to flash only signed-by-manufacturer things like roms/updates/themes and here is the place where CWM comes it allows to flash self-signed packages
Follow tutorials and you won't brick your phone. Stick to your device forum. E.g ,Just because something worked on the galaxy ace doesn't mean you can use that tutorial on a galaxy mini.
Soft bricks can be fixed,those are just installation errors.

I was wondering how to remove CWM and to restore original recovery...
I suppose i have to flash my stock ROM, am i right?
Do i need to wipe all data before flashing my custom ROM, just to add i have 2.3.3 i only did CWM nothing else is changed.
One thing isn't clear, when I flash CWM is my stock ROM changed?

Why would you want to remove cwm? Its a custom recovery, without it you can't go custom. Use cwm to create a nand backup. To go back to stock recovery, you are correct, but make sure you have correct files etc in Odin. Pulling out your USB cable in Odin without completed will brick your phone, I know cuz I did it. The wrong files can do the same. CWM doesn't change the ROM, just the recovery. I have also heard of bricks from Samsung kies mini. Yes you need to wipe/ factory data reset when flashing a new ROM. If you are only updating a custom ROM, going from (ROM name) v 1.2 to (ROM name) v 1.3 it is not always necessary to do factory data reset but follow the instructions per developer of ROM/thread. Get root, put custom ROM on sd, in recovery make a nand backup, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, factory data reset, install zip from sd, reboot.
Also sometimes when flashing a ROM it might not boot first time. Don't panic, pull battery out/in 3 button to recovery, install zip again, reboot and enjoy.
Hope this helps....if so hit thanks button!

No,your stock rom is not changed,just your recovery. You'll need clockworkmod do install custom roms since stock recovery lacks the features needed to install non-manufacturer roms.
If you are concerned about altering your current rom,you can make a backup using clockworkmod recovery, and store it somewhere like your PC.
Yes,just to be safe, it is better to wipe data. Unless it's an update of the same rom which again, isn't always guaranteed. Just to be sure your safe,backup your apps and clear everything.
Clockworkmod is removed in the bootloader by swapping it out with something else(like amon-ra).

It is possible to reset the phone fully to stock. This removes clockworkmod recovery and your custom rom and allows you to claim warranty. So far only Sony is the one I'm aware void your warranty permanently if you unlock your bootloader using their 'official' method. They keep you on record,so even if you relock it you're outside warranty.

You didn't tell me how to reset phone fully to stock
I am assuming you haven't started playing with your phone.
Dial *#1234# and write down the three ID Strings PDA, CSC & PHONE ID
They'll be useful later. Just for paranoia, use adb to save your IMEI details (adb is for windows PC's don't worry)
Install Samsung Keis in same PC. Make sure it recognises your phone. Always check this before running Odin.
Always do a full backup (apps, data,settings) before resetting to stock or just any flashing.
Odin will install custom roms on your phone,and it will also take you back to stock if need arises. This is done by 'flashing' stock rom into your phone.
You can follow this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345671
Where the rom is the stock one. You can get the right one here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=1&t=2 Clockworkmod and root access will be lost.(those come with custom roms,don't worry)
When using Odin, a few tips,
1.always run as administrator (right click on icon>run as administrator)
2.Odin runs better without sim card and SD card. You can take them out before entering download mode
3.NEVER EVER interrupt a flashing process,its a guaranteed soft brick.It takes about 10 minutes. If you're impatient, walk away. Also for paranoia,better to have a ups.
4. Perform factory reset before and after flashing. * Menu* Settings* Privacy* Factory data reset* Reset phone& Erase everything. Before and after.
If your rom doesn't boot try this

Hey!!!
Stop creating dump threads and wait for the answers at the development thread
dont you know xda rules
if no then watch
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.

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.

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.

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....

Hi
So I really like android, used it for about 2 years. However, I never got a chance to see how CWM worked. I did see some videos, and they went into recovery (which i know about), and selected "CWM.zip". Does just booting/selecting this affect my android device? Also, if I use "Backup and Restore", would that affect my device, if I just backup, not restore? Does it need root? Sorry I just wanted to know
Also, I looked on the fourms but could not find anything with my search. Please tell me if something like this exists Also, I already saw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587607, but that did not answer my question. (Srry I am new the the fourms so....)

What phone are you using now, you phone already flashed CWM or not?
CWM is a recevory mode that you can flash a custom rom , backup your base/stock rom/data/system and etc. It use for restore back into before u flash a custom rom,if there is any bug or problem or stuck after you flash a custom rom.
It like u can save/load before killing a boss in game

I have a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 (This model is Galaxy S WiFi, Model is YP-G70). I never flashed CWM, and am not rooted.
Hello everyone.......... So lets begin from the starting. I have recently bought an iphone x clone device. I thought it will have good enough hardware compared to its price but unfortunately it only has attractive outlook finishing but inside its really bad. I cant even watch youtube videos because of hang & crash. So I decided to root it and install ram expanding software to create vram which really helped solving the crashes....... But still the device feels laggy so I was thinking about installing a soft custom rom which will consume less rom & ram. I tried to backup my stock recovery and install a twrp custom recovery via different apps like flashify, mobile uncle tool, twrp manager etc. But all of them failed to create a backup or even flash a recovery. I had to try different custom recovery image as my device is clone and not included inside twrp supported device list. I even downloaded my stock recovery from internet (not 100% sure if its the right one but tried my luck as I couldn't collect a backup copy of my stock recovery from adb) and tried to port with other custom recoveries and install it...... But still all I boot into is my chinese stock recovery which is useless for me. After trying 2 days I have done everything I could and couldn't get further than rooting and installing some useful apps to make my device little bit stable. But this isn't enough, I need help now to find correct custom recovery and soft custom rom for my device.
Here are some pics about my device details which will help you get some idea about which device im using. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ieMNTSkgTAIWNn1xNSqg2iCzUPXheEdI?usp=sharing

Lol, it's because you have an unsupported cloned device that has no actual stock source or stock firmware to work with, it has a firmware that has been hacked together. Ask yourself why it has hacked software, it is because there is no real software for this device other than what they hacked together when they made it. I doubt you'll find anything that can be installed "as-is", you'll have to do the same thing the device maker did, you'll have to put your own software together which will require either building a whole new ROM for your device or it will require porting an existing ROM to work on your device.
It is very difficult to identify cloned hardware and very difficult to find compatible software.
And this is a "large active tech community" but most members here don't have/own/use/buy or have experience with cloned devices because we know they are junk, regardless of the specs, we have better sense than to waste our time and money on them.
