Don't worry buddy...you are well covered with us :)

It is for such reasons and for inexperienced users like you (no offence... i was once inexperienced too...) that i have made tutorial videos on karbonn A5

..

they are posted in the previous pages but i presume you'l be lazy to search (like i am right now :laugh:) )

here is the link to my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4YhBg1uY0bN7HjVrKjqnvA?feature=guide

Kindly Follow all the videos from start to end (starting from the first video about installing drivers and ending at the last video) and you will be up and running in no time

The root video is optional you just need to follow the first ++Install Karbonn a5(K-touch w619) drivers++ and the third ++Install Karbonn A5(k-touch w619) CWM Recovery++ videos to solve your problems

you can also follow second video ++Install/Restore Karbonn A5(K-touch w619) Stock Recovery++ if you want to restore your stock backup

Cheers (Your parents don't have to know what happened haha :))

And yes..if the videos helped you don't forget to come back here and hit the thanks button :)

Re

just flash this in fastboot mode: http://www.mediafire.com/?k1qoddaa2xezz95

if then also problem occurs then,

flash this stock recovery :https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4dq49t7not5bpfk/u2rz2JjIFf

Hey thanks

But before seeing your reply I did a last experiment to my phone i.e. I formatted my pc with Win7 Pro and firstly installed my phone's drivers and turned my phone into fastboot mode and guess what my phone' detected by pc as I checked via CMD method by typing fastboot devices and then installed CWM Recovery into my phone and now my phone seems to be working fine and in recovery mode there now options are visible thanks to everyone..

How to install ICS ?

First Update your baseband :-

Read following post to update Baseband :-

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33708317&postcount=863 ( Credit:Prasad)

USE THIS Baseband :- LINK :- http://www.mediafire.com/?y6pzrq75vmjyaf4

Second Install CWM recovery :-

Read following post to install CWM :-

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29300082&postcount=12 ((Credit: joeblack))

Thrid :-

Download this ICS ROM BETA V2 :- http://www.mediafire.com/?wzu6622wvs9iq72

Make a new folder in SD card (memory card) :- " clockworkmod "

Then extract ICS ROM BETA V2 :-

you can see there is a "backup" named folder . Cut this backup folder and paste in "clockworkmod" folder .

Forth :-

Switch off the phone .

Hold "Power on + vol+" until it becomes red screen .

It take you CWM recovery screen .

then choose

- backup and restore > restore > there you see > then yes

Done ..

Wow. 20 games? I have 2 games but I concentrate only on one. Do you play all those 20 games? If you don't then take a backup of some games and delete them from your phone. Our phones have low internal memory so its not a good idea to have so many games installed on it.

Arjun if we can calibrate the touch sensor, then the problem can be fixed.

Do you know the code to calibrate?

Else is there any method to calibrate the touch sensor?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjunraj:
it will not help.

let me see what can i do with it .

even i am frustated coz a7 and spice mi355 both are similar and always roms for a7 worked perfectly on mi355 and roms for mi355 worked perfwctly on a7.

but now it is 200% sure that problem is with boot.img only.

i know boot.img doesnt contain sensors but ramdisc contains the commands to access system/etc/permissions .

i think this is the only thing which we need to work on to make touch working without replacing boot.img.

coz with replacing boot.img and make touch work we loose camera and it will not be solved .even world class developers said sorry to me after studdying the rom and trying their best.

now only option is to make touch working .

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjunraj:
then link2sd wont help you.

link2sd moves the app to external sd partition and creates an image in system.

but when u install lots of games and apps then it effecta internal memory

eg if u install an app worth 5mb so the image size would be around 600 to 700 kb .

accordingly when u would install arround 100 apps your internal memory will get full.

sollution is data 2sd or app2sd but problem is that it will slow down your phone.apps will take more time to launch .and in link2sd u can use your apps which are on sd even if you have mounted your sd to computer while in app2sd or data 2 sd your apps wont work during sd mount to computer.

choice is yours u are smart enough

Hi Divyashwar, you can use ICS beta 1 version from viet nam forum then supercharger the ROM and change camera by JB+ camera. Except proximity sensor error and camera error, i think others seem ok. And they will have update version later so just enjoy the current one :o

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ankushkale1:
Steps i followed:

Actually 64bit driver works.. i successfully now flashed baseband on 64bit win7 & using ICS

1. in folder <driver folder>\HK11-VB717-27\HK11-VB717-27_1.0.56\TestCertificate : do according to Readme file to add driver certificates to windows cert store

1.1 select driver folder for your Tianyu HS-USB Diagnostics 6025 <driver folder>\HK11-VB717-27\HK11-VB717-27_1.0.56\Win64\AMD64\free

2. use "bcdedit -set testsigning on" to enable driver to load & use,reboot..

3. your Tianyu HS-USB Diagnostics 6025 now has driver.u can check in Device manager

4. use fastboot tool to flash Baseband you will get one warning msg,just ignore it. ( After all flashing done that fastboot tool crashes, no problem..)( actually i tried to flash 591369_8379_WCDMA_V000001 directly for first time but failed then i downloaded prasad's (AP+BP)_ICS_S01.rar & flashed it,then again tried for 591369_8379_WCDMA_V000001 this time it worked... dont know what bad happened previously)

5. place CWM ICS backup files on SD

6. restore from CWM

7. you may see some garbage splash image at startup. you can find original karbonn splash image on forum

fastboot flash splash <path to splash.img>

8. Enjoy.:D
