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.

Hi,
I was planning to buy this unknown tablet: http://www.axtrom.com/product-details-7I01_1001
I just want to know if there is any way by which I can get a custom ROM on it

No, the ROM must be specifically built for your specific model number, using anything else will almost certainly brick your device.

[Q] clear doubts of xolo q800 and x edition users

this is my literally first post on xda for xolo q800 and x editon
I WAS ALSO A NOOB AND ASKED EVERY ONE ABOUT THE DEVICE SPECS AND PERFORMANCE AND CHANGES AND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.THOSE WHO WANT A GOOD PHONE AND ALSO WANT TO DO ROOTING AND FLASHING ROM AND TOO THEY ARE SPENDING MONEY LIKE A ONE TIME INVESTMENT. I AM PROVIDING YOU THE FULL OF DETAILS WHICH I VE TO YOU .
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN XOLO Q800 AND X EDITION
XOLO Q800 X EDITION
[B]PROCESSOR[/B]:----- QUAD-CORE 1.2 GHZ MTK 6589M OR W-M MTK6589 QUAD-CORE
(WELL ON OFFICIAL XOLO WEBSITE ITS WRITTEN W-M FULL ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE
MEANS PROCESSOR IS DOWNGRADED BUT GRAPHICS REMAINS NO DOWN GRADATION
SAME)
CAMERA- WILL SHOOT AND PLAY 720 P VIDEOS FULL HD VIDEO RECORDING AND PLAYBACK
BUT NOW WITH THE NEW UPGRADE YOU CAN TOO SHOOT IN H/W MODE
FULL HD VIDEOS AND ALSO PLAY FULL HD VIDEOS AT S/W MODE)
HISTORY:-XOLO Q800 ONCE HAD THE SAME SPECS AS OF X EDITION BUT XOLO DOWNGRADED Q800 TO RELEASE A NEW AVATAR WHICH HAD THE SAME CONFIGURATION AS OF OLD Q800.I.E X EDITION
BEST PART IT HAS 10 SENSORS AND ONE OF THEM IS GYRO IS ENABLES YOU TO PLAY GAME WHILE ON THE MOVE LIKE IF YOU RE STANDING AND PLAYING A FIRST PERSON SHOOTER THEN IF YOU WANT TO MOVE YOU CHARACTER DISPLAY TO THE RIGHT THEN YOU JUST SIMPLY HAVE TO ROTATE YOURSELF TO THE RIGHT AND VOILA YOUR GAME WILL ALSO MOVE IN SYNC
FOR MORE INFO ABOUT GAMING WITH GYRO SENSORS SEARCH YOUTUBE
NOW SOME PROS AND SOME CONS ABOUT THE DEVICE
PROS:-CAMERA QUALITY AWESOME IN THIS PRICE RANGE .IF YOU ARE A BRAND LOVER PERSON THEN JUST COMPARE ITS CAMERA FROM ANY MICROMAX MOBILE I THIS PRICE RANGE YOU WILL FEEL THE DIFFERENCE
+++++++ FRONT CAMERA IS TOOOO GOOD.I COULD'NT SEE MY FACE EITHER IN CANVAS 2.2 AND CANVAS HD IN LOW LIGHT BUT XOLO ROCKED 720 P FRONT
BATTERY :----FULL DAY MEDIUM USAGE (APPROX 14HRS ) +SOME HEAVY GAMING AND THEN ALSO 10% BATTERY LEFT
NO HEATING PROBLEMS
X EDITION BACK GOLDEN COLOR LOGO LOOKS NICE
AND ALSO TOUCH IS REALLY SMOOTH IF YOU GIVE SAMSUNG TOUCH A 10/10 THEN I WILL GIVE Q800 IN COMPARISON 9.8/10
CONS:-SINCE THERE ARE NO CONS IN THIS PRICE RANGE BUT ACCORDING TO TRADITION WE HAVE TO FIND THEM
SO A 4.5 INCH SCREEN
I BET U WONT BE ABLE TO MOVE YOUR THUMB TO THE TOP CORNER IF YOU HOLD IT I YOUR RIGHT HAND (AND HALF A INCH DOESN'T;T MATTER THOUGH ) SO SIZE DOES'NT MAKE ANY MAJOR DIFFERENCE.
NOW LETS MOVE ON
ROOTING :-ITS EASIER AND SAFE TO ROOT YOU WILL NOT BRICK YOUR DEVICE THIS IS MY GUARANTEE....
FLASHING RECOVERIES :-RECOMMENDATION ....GO FOR TWRP 2.5.00 .IT IS ONE OF THE BEST RECOVERY AND I AM SURE THAT YOU WILL NOT FORGET ANY STEP IN FLASHING ROM IN YOUR Q800/X EDITION.
NOW STOCK ROM:-STOCK ROM FOR Q800 IS AVAILABLE AND FOR X EDITION THE Q800 4.2.1 UPDATE IS THE STOCK ROM ......
STOCK RECOVERY:-RECOVERY FOR X EDITION IS SAME AS OF Q800 DO SOME SEARCH YOU WILL FIND THE RECOVERY
ROMS:-IF YOU USE TWRP THEN ITS 99% EASIER FOR YOU TO FLASH ANY ROM FOR Q800.ALL THE ROMS YOU SEE ON XOLO Q800 FORUMS ON ANY SOCIAL SITE OR DEVELOPMENT PAGES ALL WORK ON X EDITION THERE IS NO COMPATIBILITY ISSUES OF ROM FOR BOTH THE DEVICES.
SOME OF THE BEST CUSTOM ROMS ARE
FIND THEM ON XDA OR FACEBOOK DEVELOPMENT PAGE OR GOOGLE PLUS OR ANDROID JUGAAD OR XOLO HUB BLOGSPOT OR XOLOQ800 BLOGSPOT
1.SONY XPERIA Z2
2.MIUI V5
3.HYBRID X
4.NEXUS REDEFINED
AND THERE ARE MORE THAN 30 CUSTOM ROMS FOR XOLO Q800 AND X EDITION
SCARED ABOUT BRICKING YOUR PHONE 99.99% CHANCES ARE THAT YOU PHONE WILL NOT BRICK AND IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG THEN HARD UNBRICK METHOD IS THERE TO SAVE YOUR PRECIOUS Q800/X EDITION
AND YOU CAN GET ASSISTANCE MANY DEVELOPERS FOR YOUR PROBLEM TO.......
I CAN'T POST LINKS TO YOU BECAUSE I NEED 10 THANKS ATLEAST TO POST IT SO NEVER MIND YOU CAN MAIL ME AT [email protected]
PLEASE HIT THANKS IF I VE HELPED YOU

Found an easy method to root the X Edition but is it safe? -----> http://androidxda.com/root-xolo-q800-x-edition

I would like to install a fast, lightweight version of Android on it (something like the stock android on Nexus/Moto devices).

I have never rooted or installed custom ROM before.

Is your iris 405 running jellybean 4.2.X ?
If running 4.2.X then it will 100% root your phone.
