[Q] Karbonn A2+ ROMs and CWM?

Hello all.
I'd like to know if there's any custom roms for Karbonn A2+. I'm already guessing the answer is a "No" so I'd like to know if/how I can port any rom with JB firmware and any CWM to my device (Please tell me what rom should I take to port
The device runs on 4.0.4 ICS, with 1ghz 256mb ram, and a 4" WVGA capacitive touch screen. I've rooted it via Framaroot and am using an additional 1gb of swapped ram.
Thanks in advance.

Bump, is there anyone who can point me to the correct guide to follow?

Your phone?
What is your phone?
I mean what phone are you using?

Interesting, could you please dump the rom?
"Jellyfish"?

Root & cwm for karbonn a2+
It is a simple procedure, but it took long time for me to make it work.
Points to consider
a. After flashing my phone didn’t boot. I just flashed only the recovery, I think that would caused the problem, later I re-flashed the stock rom boot img separately).worked !
b. Instead of backup copy I tried with the stock rom imgs, It worked for me. If you don’t want to lose any data please use your phone backup copy img files.
c. I am not a developer & don’t know how the stuffs work inside the mobile, with the help of XDA contributors & developers forum messages, I was able to do something.
d. Please do read the rooting & flashing guides thoroughly.
e. Please don’t panic if something goes wrong. Stock rom is available, flash it & you get your mobile back.
ROOTING & BACK UP
1.Frama root will give you the root rights ! - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
Download & Install - open it choose install super user, then click "boromir" success message will appear, click ok and reboot your phone. You can see a message "android is updating" after you reboot your phone.
2. Dowload MTKdroid lastest version (older version also fine)-sorry I couldn’t find any working links
Backup your stock rom using MTK droid tool, before making any changes to the stock OS. MTK droid tool may ask you to root again. Please read rooting and flashing instructions thoroughly before doing any changes.
a. Install MTKdroid tool in your pc & open it, If the tool asks you to root, click root, in couple sec or mins yellow signal will turn green.
b. Click on the “Root,backup,recovery & then click backup – Please wait till the process completes
If the message says “end with error” – The backup copy will not help us to re-flash the OS
(I tried many times, but I am not able to flash the backup copy with SP flash tool, gives me some error.
(for making CWM the above copy is fine, because I hope there won’t be any error when the software creates a backup for boot.img & recovery.img)
c. Ok assuming that there is no error, the next step is Click on the button “To prepare blocks for Flash tool” – wait till it completes. This process will gives us the entire copy of the rom to flash it with SP flash tool – Can find the backups in MTKdroid tools /backups/ Karbonn-A2+_number _date_backup_ folder/file to flash tool. (MTKdroid tool is required to create CWM, so don’t close the MTKdroid tool)
d. No stock roms were available when I was testing that time, so I ended up with the service center. Thanks to XDA member “Forever Alone”. Now working stock rom is available.
3.CWM CREATING & PORTING
a. Select “To choose the boot.img file & click recovery & boot. Software will ask you to select the boot.img. Select the boot.img from the backup copy in MTKdroid tools /backups/Karbonn-A2+_ _backup_ /file to flash tool.
b. Click Yes - To make CWM automaticllay
C. Click yes - If phone isn't loaded, it is ness to flash this file...to phone? Software may show a write error, just leave it for now.
e. Click NO - Install created recovery to phone ?
Copy of the recovery & boot img will be in MTKdroid tools /recovery
Now CWM has been created & that needs to flashed via SP flash tool
4. Flashing CWM recovery
Download SP flashtool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982576
Copy the scatter file from Mtkdroid backup folder to mtkdroid recovery folder to avoid confusion in selecting the image files.
Open SP flashtool – Select the scatter file from mtkdroid recovery folder & flash it. You are done. Now you can see the auto made CWM instead of stock recovery
attachment has screen shots-please refere that to this section
5.Download the stock rom from - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520719
Extract the files & store it in separate folder.

Hello there
Does anyone know how to backup stock recovery without rooting on the XT1032?

Hello
If you have Root you can use Flashify from the PlayStore

First of all clear the misconception, if you root your phone it does not mean you should have a custom recovery and vice versa
Now if you want to backup your stock recovery either root your phone and use flashify
Or
Downlaod the stock firmware package of your device and it has raw fromat of recovery image
Or

Blaupunkt Sonido x1+

can anyone help?
I just bought this phone, it has specification as:
- MT6592 1.7GHz Octa-Core ARM Cortex-A7
- 2 gb internal storage.
- 12gb phone storage.
- android kitkat 4.4.2
- kernel 3.4.67
- build number: blaupunkt_v1.57W (updated from 1.56W).
my problem:
- can't find the button config for entering the download mode.
- the recovery mode doesn't have install option, only update, so when i tried to install supersu.zip, it failed.
- tried rooting using apk and windows applications, failed (kingoroot successful, but gamekiller unable to run as root, other apps able to run as root).
- what to use to resize internal storage <--> phone storage.
- how to backup stock rom and recovery mode.
thanks

thank you for the response, but can i restore back the default recovery? for not voiding the guarantee? know how to back it up and how to restore it?

but for now I think you should not do anything with that phone like rooting or changing recovery or installing custom rom , cuz its really new in market and the company's first phone .... I also bought one I liked it.

You can't flash any update zip in your stock android recovery. You need custom recovery for that.
You can't get your warranty back because you rooted your android using KingRoot app and it unlocked your bootloader.
Most of the manufacturer voids warranty if you unlock bootloader and rooted.
So, you can't get warranty back by flashing stock recovery if your android manufacturer voids.

Restore backup via recovery from sd card?

Hi!
I would like to know if it is possible to restore the 4.4.4 kit kat backup on a 5.1. lollipop system. So basically i would like to update to 5.1 but then I may want to revert back to 4.4.4 with the back up of recovery's 4.4.4 (which is stored on a memory card) Is it possible? Is there a root out for 5.1 yet? please help me if you can.
EDIT:
Here is the solution how to root and install recovery on .368 firmware:
http://techbeasts.com/2015/09/18/ro...ria-z1-compact-android-511-146a0368-firmware/
This is how you create your own FTF firmware with XperiFirm and FlashTool:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/08/1...re-files-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool-guide/
This is how you make a pre rooted, flashable zip:
http://techbeasts.com/2015/07/26/how-create-sony-xperia-pre-rooted-firmware-prf-creator/
I hope everything is clear now. I followed the steps above and it is working fine.

you can update to 5.1 but use a prerooted firmware with recovery included,don t flash official cause you will not be able to root it and install recovery.
i reverted between kit kat and lollipop many times myself,no prob.
as long as you have a recovery installed i don t thing you will have a problem.
of course make a back up,in case you want back.
now i noticed you post in the wrong section,should be moved in questions and answers

that´s wrong - you can root LP FW with that TOOL from our genius dev @munjeni.
You only had to unlock the bootloader.

Do I need a custom recovery for flashing the new 5.1.1 firmware? I mean do I need the specific XZ Dual Recovery or can I use the recovery which was installed automatically after rooting?

you say that you made a backup of 4.4.4,right?
you entered recovery so you did it either with TWRP or CWM.TWRP and CWM are both recoveries.
you can flash pre rooted firmware and restore backups with both of them,i just prefer better and suggest TWRP.
remember that if you want to restore your back up you need to do it with the same recovery you made it,i think that TWRP cant restore backups made with CWM and vice-versa.
anyway,you can easily find what backup you have if you find the folders named TWRP and CLOCKWORK or CWM in your external or internal storage,back up files is about 4gb size.
how to install now:
1.reboot your phone and when your led light blink press volume down key to enter TWRP recovery.if it gets you in CWM reboot again and when led blink press volume up,so you enter TWRP recovery.
2.now you are in TWRP you press WIPE on the top right box.then drug the slider at the bottom SWIPE TO FACTORY RESET
3.press back button annd shoose install
4.find your prerooted zip,on the top centre under SELECT ZIP TO INSTALL,is STORAGE internal or external sd card
5.install zip:good:
PS:make a fresh backup before you start

Thank you so much. Finally someone explained it normally.

Can someone give me a link where I can find pre rooted 5.1 Rom as a zip file for my Z1 compact? It would also be important to be central europe, unbranded or telekom. Thank you in advance!

You can do one yourself.
I don't have URLs till hands but those are easy to find on forum.
