DID any one find the working root method
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bbsrailfan:
Dude, if you go through the eleven odd pages in this thread, you will understand that there are a bunch of guys like Prasad12ka4, Charismakid, Fonehacker and me who are trying desperately to get our hands on root for the benefit of all K-touch users. Once any of us achieves success, we will share it with everyone;

ADB drivers for A9

A lot of you guys are unable get adb working due to drivers,So i made the drivers myself.:cool: I am posting it here.

Instructions:

First extract the files to a folder.

1)Open device manager,Right click on Tianyu HSUSB device,and click update driver.

2)Click browse my computer,browse to the extracted folder and click ok.

3)On the next prompt,it will say unsigned drivers,click install anyway.

4)ADB drivers are now installed.

5)Open device manager-> You will see a new Entry named Android Phone.

6)Try running "adb devices" command to see if the phone is getting detected.

If the device not found error shows up then:

1)Copy the adb_usb.ini in your "%user% /.android" folder.[this folder exists only if you have Android SDK installed].

2)Retry connecting.

If It helped you,You can press thanks.:rolleyes:

If it didnt,you can always ask for help.:D

Even I have hacked drivers to make fully functional adb drivers for my A9.

I have successfully executed various adb command, but no rooting success till date.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fonehacker:
Have you accidently disabled the device by right clicking and selecting disable

Try on another windows [or on some other computer],I have made and tested the drivers on Karbonn A9.dont know about Spice.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] charismakid:
found another root method (via adb)

i want to know from you all that if i upload a root method on this thread which is to be done via adb , will you be able to do it ????? waiting for your responses .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bbsrailfan:
I still haven't been able to get my phone connected via ADB. Tried fonehacker's A9 drivers, even tried modifying the drivers manually. Still no go (see screenshot above).

BTW the

hardware IDs for both the A9 and the MI-425 are the same

(USB_24E3....9025_ something. I'm at office now and can't remember clearly). Is there anything I can modify in the adb_usb.inf included in the a9 drivers zipfile?

@fonehacker: No, my adb device isn't disabled. Will go to my friend's place on Saturday, will try on his comp. Till then, will try playing around with the inf files to see if I can get adb back :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fonehacker:

I have fully working adb on karbonn A9,Please post the method ASAP.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fonehacker:

System Dump of A9 in tar format

Here is a system partition dump i made in tar format using temporary busybox in linux.:D

hope that someone can use it for any useful purpose.:rolleyes:

http://www.multiupload.nl/0PVJ9C8BXK

Warning:

This system dump is missing the following listed files:

/system/etc/wifi/wifimac

/system/etc/bluetooth/main.conf

/system/etc/bluetooth/autopairing.conf

/system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf

/system/etc/bluetooth/input.conf

/system/etc/dbus.conf

/system/bin/iptables

/system/bin/tc

/system/bin/run-as

because these files cannot be read without root.

I think the phone can run without those files and we could include them from some other mobile.

Anyways i am hoping someone can make an update.zip file using the dump while also including superuser and su bineries (A prerooted ROM).:D

Hit Thanks if it helped someone.

Support from Karbonn

Guys,

I called the Karbonn customer care and asked them to upload files in their site needed for developers.

I asked adb drivers, PC suite, if possible stock ROM also.

They told, they will communicate this to technical team.

If you guys have any contact, you can also try to get ROM/adb drivers from

dealers or service centres.

The service centres contacts are put up in karbonn website itself.

Hope this might help, (Hit thanks if it helps)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prasad12ka4:
sorry to tell you but the missing files are equally important

if those are missing the mobile won't boot it will be bricked

its a China mobile so risks are but high

Hey guys don't call it a quit so soon!

The phone is finding its way out slowly. May be we have better future.

Moreover, if the alios's method work we may ask someone from China mainland on this forum to provide us with the rooting files.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bbsrailfan:
Ya, seriously. Let's wait and see. I don't think any of us here is an android developer/hacker, so we can't do anything beyond what we have already tried. We gave our best trials and now we can only wait till some solution emerges from the far east!

Lol !!! Your absolutely correct . There is only one experienced guy in this thread who can help us . The recognized contributor , varun chitre ...!!!:) lolz ...........
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fonehacker:
the files Run-as,iptables and tc are same on other devices...

and rest of the files are for bluetooth

so if a rom is made out of it,probably the bluetooth wont work.

but it will be helpfull if even one device gets rooted using that rom,then the person can dump boot.img and recovery.img for us,and we can modify the boot.img to include root and hence root all other devices.

and for the guy who will be having faulty bluetooth will be provided original rom dumped from our boot rooted devices..

Hows that??

So far, the status is

adb drivers are available. (i think, it is working for XP only).

Some other files uploaded (dump file & others are available).

Rooting with many software failed :(

New Karbonn A9 (2.3.6) Root Method needed

Hello, I have brand new Karbonn A9 with android 2.3.6. The following root method does not work on new Karbonn A9, I tried many times but it says permission denied. In Karbonn A9 system/bin/ and system/app/ is read only permission by default. How to change read only permission to write permission ?

"Root with Motofail" does not work.

I request you for unbeatable method for rooting Karbonn A9. Thanks in Advance.

So, we keep on hunting for some other method till we succeed or can we hope something if Spice releases ICS for its phone, certainly it will come with a programme or an online option to download the package.

I request you all to keep the good spirit running, btw, 3 days on and still 45% battery left. Unrooted gives you so much juice, I wonder when rooted how good the things would be!

tether works better than available apps. It is instantaneous after you activate USB tether in phone and gives upto 4mbps with airtel.

I have removed my adb generic drivers and installed the adb drivers in this.

Tether Drivers? Tether is designed to work out-of-the-box without the need for Drivers :cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lvgandhi:
I have not meant tether drivers. I have said tether application for PC , phone drivers and adb drivers.

Tether never worked out of the box. it needs some form of RNDIS(Remote Network Driver Interface Specification) software in PC. There are lot of apps like clockworkmod tether, easy tether, pdanet. Some needs routed phone. I have used clockwork mod app tether which works for a week free and then has limitation of 20mb /day and also speed was around 1 mbps. That tether had created a network adapter which facilitated those functions. I have uninstalled that adapter and installed the present tether app which has created new network adapter. Now it works OK.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bbsrailfan:
Maybe on XP :D I have Vista and have never required to install any 3rd party software/app.

It was way back in the Eclair days (some time in 2010, before froyo and tethering came along) when I used to use an app called PDANet for tethering my Phone to my laptop. Ever since I upgraded to Gingerbread, I have always used the native tethering without the need for a 3rd party app.

Hello everybody,

I'm sorry to bother you, but I look everywhere and I can't find an answer for my problem.

This morning I updraded my x10 mini pro to gingerdx v21b from gingerdx v17, and it worked very well except for the hard keyboard wich is qwerty and I need an azerty keyboard.

I first try the mini rom manager wich had worked fine for v17 but nothing changed.

Then I found a post in the development forum where I got a azerty.zip file to flash. But it doesn't do anything and I can't ask any question in that forum...

I don't know what to do now in order to have my keyboard in french...

Could anyone help me?

Thanks a lot.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] isabellez:
After spending one all day searching everything I could find on the forum and testing everything, I finaly decided to go back to gingerdx v17 which I had backuped...

So I restored my old version with its hardkeyboard working in french and I copied all files in /system/usr/

Then I re-installed v21b and I moved the old /system/usr files in the new one...

It doesn't work... Still don't have a french hard keyboard...:mad:

Any idea ? anybody?

I really hope somebody will give me an idea because I'd like to keep this version, it's smooth and fast.

Thanks.

When I upgraded to v17 I afterthat installed and run miniRom manager beta 3.0 which modified the keyboard.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] damiensturdy:
Well, I loved this kernel! But I appear to have bricked when flashing another (also aparrently kernel fixed) rom.

I *could* get to CWM, but I can't touch system. The phone freezes if I try to do anything.

Odin will not flash.

I'm an experienced user, I've owned several Android phones in the past and understand how everything works, however, this time, it really appears I am dead.

I can take the phone back so no big deal, but I just wanted to let people know. If I am unable to get this working, it appears the new kernels still have some risk involved.

I was on UK Stock ICS (Not sure what the version was now), flashed Francos using DD, everything was fine but Wifi did not work, so I wanted to try Speedmod. This caused a bootloop. So I reverted, and the bootloop remained. At this point I downloaded a Lite rom that used Franco V4, (sorry, the name has escaped me) this flashed but also gave a bootloop. So I wiped, and re-applied.

When I reinstalled after wiping, the install bar glitched and flew past it's usual 100% right off the side of the screen. Then it froze.

After this I am unable to flash *anything* to the phone. CWM boots but I can't do anything within it. Odin attempts to flash but I see the phone send invalid responses back (non-alphabetical characters) and Odin then fails.

Anything else I could do? I think I've tried everything possible at this point. Gutted!

[edit]

UPDATE: This does currently appear to be a case of bad luck, and NOT The eMMC Bug. The eMMC Bug fix is now under critical testing by myself (as I have access to replacement phones within minutes), though I have flashed 18 times at present with no superbricks or broken eMMCs. So far so good!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bhasg1007:
I think u wiped from ICS kernel and this may have caused u a brick. At first when you flashed speedmod and had bootloop you could have flashed back to Abyss kernel wiped and reinstalled the whole rom instead of wiping from ICS kernel and installing rom. Its a known fact that while installing or restoring roms from ICS kernels people have faced lot of issues..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] damiensturdy:
I'm aware of that issue. I used Franco's R5 kernel (which is ICS and superbug fixed. The fix was not a guaranteed fix, and sadly I appear to have proven this fix to be non-working at the moment.)

I guess I'll be popping back to the shop at lunchtime!

Cheers.

When i had Galaxy s same thing happened to me only download mode no cwm nothing and Odin was failing to flash stock roms even with a pit file and what i did was flash with bootloaders along with pit file and rom files and voila my phone was back to bussiness
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] damiensturdy:
You might be right about the PIT files. It would make sense, Odin almost completes when the phone throws out the invalid text- might be trying to put data out of the partition.

I'll give it a go, thanks. I do still have Download mode. I no longer can access recovery though.
