And simply a request to other members..

if you gained any information/help from this thread please stop participating in other copied threads ..its that simple.. or even if someone asks questions there.... refer them to this thread so they automatically know which thread is better ..

Uploading your stuff in my thread which is related to the topic is like a support and help to others.

I respect that and always thank others for it.

But taking my stuff and forming other thread is like stealing.

Over that can that person explain the porblems in the ROM faced by others, easily than me?

vikas_toad your videos and stuff is helpful here, as many newbees didnt understand my tutorial as it was rough for new user.

We need members like you.

So dont take this in a negative aspect mate.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vikas_toad:
Not at all taken in a negative aspect! ;)

i am just saying that we can't stop people from copying stuff....

but we can atleast password protect the files or add names in file names etc (you feel what i feel bro?)..

that way... atleast we can get some credit! (if not all)

obviously people will again repack them with their own names and all...but still something is better than nothing
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
Actually, I am never against copying stuff or protecting it.

We are here to share.

All I say is take permission before posting.

Not AFTER posting.

I too have linked many devs work in my other thread, that too after taking permission from them via PM or post and then linking the actual thread in my post (not the download link) so that one can also see the pro's con's and issues related to it.

We are here to make things better.

Now at this price can anyone imagine an ICS and JB based mobile?

That too with good specs? We are making it better so contribute and help and exploit

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sarimkhan:
Failed to root A5, and JB problem.

Well, my device is not exactly A5, in Bangladesh it is rebranded as "Walton Primo". System Info shows its manufacturer as K-Touch. Link - www[dot]waltonbd[dot]com/products/mobile/walton-primo

It looks same as A5 but one diff is the CPU is Qualcomm 7225A 1 GHz.

First i tried to install CWM recovery as i wanted to backup my stock rom. I flashed the recovery using fastboot (of android sdk). It flashed ok but when i go to recovery mode it stuck in the red screen with "recovery" text. I downloaded 3 archive of CWM from this thread but they all contain same img (the md5sum are same). After failing to install CWM recovery, i downloaded "STOCK Recovery" (from this thread). then flashed stock recovery. Now i got my stock recovery back.

Then i downloaded the "ROOTED STOCK ROM (Karbonn A5)" (first post of this thread). transfered it to SD card, rebooted to recovery and did "update from sd card". it installed sucessfully (as no error msg shown). after rebooting, phone is stuck in splash screen.

then i downloaded the stock rom of a5 (from this thread). which is a cwm backup as i see. i extracted it and flashed using fastboot. i flashed "boot" and "system" partitions with their respective .img file. Now my phone is back alive, the "STOCK ROM" is not same as the "Walton" rom, but its 99% same and the extra apps are missing, not prob, i download them.

Then i tried the Jelly Bean rom (from this thread). I uploaded it to sd and did "update from sd". Phone boots, Jelly bean starts up. But No wifi,no SIM detected, No Camera, SD card not detected. If phone goes to lock screen (using button or idle after 1 min), it doesn't come back, just a white screen appears, had to remove battery.

So basically my problem is three.

1> Cant manage to run CWM Recovery.

2> Cant Root, i tried z4root and zergRush. Both failed. Now "ROOTED STOCK ROM (Karbonn A5)" is also failed, phone doesn't boot with it.

3> The Jelly Bean ROM is not compatible, many essential things doesn't work. [This is not important]

So guys, what do you think ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vikas_toad:
Are you sure its Karbonn A5? if its 1ghz it might be Karbonn A7+ Rebranded to walton-primo

going by the picture in the link you provided it is Karbonn A5 but even in china it is only 800mhz... so may be it is a7+/a7 underneath??(But i highly doubt that since you say CPU is Qualcomm 7225A 1 GHz )

so with that in mind let me try to asnwer your questions

1.First install proper Drivers and then flash the CWM (by reading what you have described, i assume you are well versed with how to flash and other Essentials of flashing so i am not explaining in detail)

2.The Rooted Stock ROM (KARBONN A5) does not work. its a dud ROM.. i have tried it myself and and it gets stuck at the boot splash screen

3.To Update to ICS or above(and to make radios work aswell) you first have to update the baseband.. please watch the video posted by rjunraj on page 97 for the steps to update the baseband

and Lastly

don't use the jelly bean rom just yet.. it has various bugs and one of them is the one you mentioned in your post

Please watch the Video Tutorials i posted on how to install drivers, take backup of rom,root and unroot

they are in previous pages

Also one last resort to rooting is using http://www.unlockroot.com/

Hope i helped

Actually i'm on a mac. I installed the android sdk and using the platform-tools it came with (fastboot,adb). I'm pretty sure my drivers are ok as i can successfully flash roms and recovery's. I have no idea why CWM is not working. From googleing i learned that i need unlocked bootloader or engineering bootloader etc... is That a problem ? how can i check if my bootloaded is locked and due to that CWM is not working ? Do you have any other link for CWM ? this thread'r CWM are (recovery-english.img) = c676ee4892e5abce1f2746b8f78191cd

if you have any other CWM which md5 is not this and think that may work in my phone, please share :)

Thank you for pointing me in right direction, i'll try it tomorrow. One question: if i update baseband, will the STOCK ROM 2.3.6 will work with it ?

I understand, jb is still new, i'll wait for updates :)

Thank you, i'll try this tomorrow :)

Thank you very much for your super quick response. i'm new to android , today my fast day with advanced things in android but i'm quite familier with the concepts , thank to my *nix sysadmin knowledges :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vikas_toad:
There you go that is your problem

Even though you have installed the android SDK and fastboot and adb with it,

Every chipset has different adb debug drivers and will work only with those drivers

some partial functions which have a generic code(in some cases the fastboot) they will work fine and as i presume in your case partial flashing and recovery functionality(i.e fastboot drivers of you mobile may have a part of code as generic code which is same as that of android sdk's fastboot and that is why it is functionaing partially)

I Highly doubt that the bootloader of this phone is locked(very few Expensive branded phones have a locked boot loader ex sony and motorola)

The Best guess is Driver Issue or CWM

Try the CWM that i have posted with my video tutorial a few pages back,. its the latest 5.0.2.8 CWM English Recovery

Yes it will but will have various problems such as radio conflicts etc

we all are! :p

phone boots up and ok, it is rooted as i can see the superuser app and adb shell can "su -" too.wifi/sim works ok. but the problem is the language is not english. the camera is not working though but i dont care about camera.

Im walton primo user also...

hello,

same problem here... did a lot of search and found that most probably Walton Primo is an upgraded version of Karbonn A5 (K-Touch W619) and the recovery of Karbonn A5 is not working but stuck on red recovery screen, so i flashed a chinese CWM version i found in 592zn website and it works!!!

but the thing is i need a custom rom badly cause i need to use my Ext partition of SD card use as a phone application memory, as default phone memory is very low. can u provide me any updated rom?

and here is the cwm link: mediafire dot com/?zky6nf1lswff51a
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vikas_toad:
i don't knwo what is wrong but i just cannot find where is the baseband info on Karbonn A5.. i have checked many times in the about phone section... it is just not there... any ways another observation is that

by dialling *#36# and selection the "version info"

there the AP version is same as that of the build number(in settings>about phone)

fair enough

and now the BP version is as follows (default version)

591331_8376_WCDMA_V3034

now the only GB baseband i could find online is (online version)

591316_8376_WCDMA_V3025 download at

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/57623302/Android/591316_8376_WCDMA_V3025.zip (Linked by souravmohuri in the spice mi-355 thread)

ICS Baseband version is 591357_8376_WCDMA_V0005

now going by the numbers and(in this case) assuming that higher number indicate a higher version

clearly we can see that the stock baseband version (default GB version already installed on phone) is higher than the online GB baseband version

now this is fine if anyone will stick to ICS forever...

but if in anycase any one has to revert back to GB

he/she has to downgrade the baseband ie flash the GB Baseband (Online verion)

and here is the problem...

by doing so... he/she will flash an older version of GB baseband ... i mean older than what came with the phone!

and that is why i repeatedly asked how to backup the baseband

(I may be wrong on interpreting the baseband version, also i checked http://www.592zn.com and v3025 is the only latest gb baseband i could find)

I don't want myself or any one following my video tutorials to be stuck with and older baseband..

and so, till some one confirms this and provides the latest/current GB baseband for Karbonn A5, the video tutorial on baseband update is on hold

:(
