Unrooting

Can anyone tell me how to unroot this phone ?

There is a whole method to root and unroot using the Bin4ry tool method as posted on droidiser but that doesnt seem to work in some cases. Thanks in advance! :)
[Karbonn A21] ninayg16:
unroot

you can unroot by going to the SuperSU > Settings > clicking the Full Unroot.

Suppose i have rooted my phone, uninstalled some bloatware and then unrooted it. Can i still receive official OTA and manual (Flashing through PC) updates ? Thanks in advance! :)
[Karbonn A21] Funchumm:
Good evening guys. I need your help. My flare doesn't recognize any headset microphone. I already tried different headsets and tested by dialing *#36# , i also tried reflashing and by force access to headsetmic via third party app but it's no use. :(

Thanks guys.
[Karbonn A21] Prince.Paul.K:
I don't think Karbonn is going to provide any update..!!??

Hi guys. I've been back-reading this thread, looking for a way to perform a full nandroid backup of my CM Flare's stock ROM. I'd like to try rooting it, but I wouldn't want to void my warranty without any way of me un-rooting it. I've found none of the sort (I could have missed it, though). Do you guys know of anyway this could be done, or at least something similar?

Bootloop problem

I need help guyz my friends cm flare/karbonn a9+ is stock in a boot loop.

He installed a custom boot animation now its in a bootloop with no cwm or backup.

What do i do?
[Karbonn A21] Prince.Paul.K:
Are you able to use adb..??

If able ask him to download the attached stock bootanimations..

There after

adb push path/to/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
adb push path/to/shutdownanimation.zip /system/media/
adb reboot

If adb is not working... then you have to flash stock system.img.

All the best..

Cherry Mobile has recently released an update for the S100 Flare (v37). Update is available at http://www.4shared.com/zip/wR_Vd1fG/msm7627a-ota-TBW592241_8572_V0.html

I hope this info is a step closer in making a custom ROM (Jelly Bean perhaps).
[Karbonn A21] Prince.Paul.K:
That is really awesome..!!!:good:
[Karbonn A21] Shrihari007:
Any one tried this?
[Karbonn A21] majcomtech:
Sad to say but I think its not the step for flare in making Jelly Bean ROM, coz that update is just the same with the update out already in other forums, as well as here.

rooting from new update...

can we root cm flare after its update?
[Karbonn A21] x2pherm:
Why the same?
[Karbonn A21] alibasbas:
I was able to update successfully into v37. Contents of my phone and microSD such as Contacts, SMS, Email, installed apps, music & photos were not removed.

However, upon updating, my phone was unrooted.

One thing noticeable is the the Gsensor calibration menu option can now be found under Settings->Display. Previously, on v31, you have to dial *#36# to access this.

Unfortunately, the earphone port sound quality has still not improved. I hope there's some way to improve this as I have already performed tweaks on the equalizer yet the sound is still awful.
[Karbonn A21] Shrihari007:
updated to .37 successfully my a9+

guys it just gives small performance update

and if the indian users (karbonn users) are bored with the same ****ty icons it gives some new icons and

Cherry Mobile Flare rooting via recovery

I've compiled the files needed to be rooted in a flashable zip via CM Flare recovery mode.

This means

- you don't need to install adb/fastboot drivers to root your precious Flare.

- if you can download the file in your Flare directly, you can even root your precious Flare even without a computer!

1) Download this file: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?elsctsg7127rrna (pass: flare101)

2) Copy it to the root folder of your

EXTERNAL microSD card

3) boot into stock recovery mode

4) in recovery mode screen, select "apply update from external storage" (hold the power button to execute)

5) select the zip file you just saved in your EXTERNAL microSD card (hold the power button to execute)

6) wait for the process to finish

7) reboot

your flare should now be rooted

note1: you would see some signature "verification failed" warnings as the process progresses. simply ignore it.

note2: the process is the same as CM instruction for v37 OTA update (http://www.cherrymobile.com.ph/content/software-update-flare)

note3: this can also be done via CWM recovery

package contains:

- su (installs to /system/xbin/)

- Superuser.apk by Chainfire (installs to /system/app/)

- busybox (installs to /system/xbin/)

no symlinks for busybox applets (will do this when i get the time)

not tested for A9+

To Advanced Users

I created new thread but I found more users here who could HELP:

I successfully rooted my Cherry Mobile Flame (renamed Karbonn A21) using "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17" and PdaNet.

Then I hurriedly installed apps (like SetCPU, Tasker, ROM Manager, Titanium Backup, etc) and explored each functions.

TROUBLE STARTED when i used Titanium Backup to uninstall lots of apps (including stock launcher). After reboot, errors like "Unfortunately, google process.gapps has stopped", "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped." And then black screen appears with only tiny icons (signal, batt, time, wifi etc..) appears on top portion.

I tried Hard Reset process (green then red screen appears) but couldn't get it right.

I thought maybe I messed up the launcher (Go Launcher EX) when i uninstalled files (i believed stock or bloated.)

Kudos Developers!

do you think karbonn ppl will fix it? cos my phone was rooted.
[Karbonn A21] les02jen17:
if 'flashing' turned to flash in AIO, it means it's done. if your phone stayed on the green fastboot screen then just pull out the battery and reboot.

@es02jen17 --I really appreciate your support. Thanks man.

I finished flashing all 3 img files (boot, restore & system). The next process is REBOOT and so i did (set to FROM FASTBOOT)...but the screen turned into white screen after reboot. I waited for about 20 mins but nothing changed.

I'm trying to repeat the process but now I'm stuck to "FLASHING" on first boot img. So frustrating :rolleyes:

hi guys..

Jus purchased CM Flare recently and I noticed that the volume was quite a bit low. I used different headphones and yet no difference. I tried to install Beats Audio App from google play but unfortunately it didn't increase the volume.

So what I did was I installed poweramp then I went to equalizer and chose Preset then Phone Speaker(Loud). after that I maximized the pre amp.. and Boom!! there was a significantly increased in volume. Not that much increased but can bear with it. I read to some forums that it has an issue regarding the volume when your are using headphones.

And also I tried to install cwm but when im trying to go to cwm, the cwm won't show up but instead the default recovery. I completed all the processed and repeated again and again but no luck.. Need a hand. I want to try to install Xperia Hibrid XPE and AC!d Audio engine and see if they will work on our beloved phone..
