Entry QPST Download !!! Fixed !

If You have roadkill Backup of your ROM, You Can easily just restore it, otherwise do as follow but i do not know that partition 3 in A9+ and A21 are the same or not, but you can ask some A21 user to backup partition 3 and upload it somewhere for you !

Here you go . . .

CWM for CM Flare / Karbonn A9+ reformats boot partition, but instead of reformatting boot partition 8, it reformats partition 3. When this happens, phone will not boot, even fastboot mode. Upon powering the phone, you will get the message ENTRY QPST DOWNLOAD.

To fix this, we need to restore a working backup of partition3. Partition3 is FAT16 partition and contains AMSS.MBN and AMSSHD.MBN. It does not contain IMEI info. Your IMEI will be preserved if you will follow this guide accordingly.

Requirements –

Acronis True Image – The backup partition3 I will provide is created using Acronis. You will also need Acronis to restore this backup partition to your phone. I used Acronis True Image 2013. Don’t ask me where to get Acronis.

Backup partition3 – make sure that the file you have is Partition3sector_full_b1_s1_v1. If the filename does not match, it means I did not provide that file. There is a chance this will cause further damage. Proceed with caution.

Steps –

Power on Flare, it will show ENTRY QPST DOWNLOAD

Connect Flare to PC, install drivers if prompted. Use the PCDRIVERS.ZIP included with your Flare. I have also included it here.

Open Acronis True Image. (Picture1)

Click on Backup and Recovery > Browse for Backup. (Picture2)

Navigate to where you saved the backup partition3. Press Add to Backup List. (Picture3)

Press Recover > Disk recovery options. Put a checkmark on Recover sector-by-sector. Press OK. (Picture4)

Make sure source and destination is the same 40MB. Be careful on this one, if done incorrectly it will cause further damage. Press Recover now. (Picture5)

Wait until recovery process is complete. (Picture6, Picture7)

Press Restart after recovery is completed. (Picture8)

Disconnect Flare from PC, remove / reconnect battery.

Reboot Flare and enjoy!

DO NOT USE THE FORMAT BOOT FUNCTION OF CWM. It formats partition3 instead of partition8.

[Karbonn A21] jhanra:
You can restore a roadkill backup of karbonn a9+ even if you have a kabonn a21, after restore you can flash again karbonn a21 boot, recovery and system through android aio flasher in fastboot, and restore your imei and mac!

Did you try to flash your phone before you encounter this problem?

Try this:

-Before anything else, try to reboot your phone.

or

-Try removing the battery then insert and reboot again

Last resort redownload qcn file and rewrite your imei. Search here on how and download necessary files. Goodluck!

Roms for Stock recovery flashing

Xperia_ICSv37

Flared04

galaxyFlarev3Rock

RSROM04

SoundTripMode16

v31noroot

v31root

v37root

BetterFlareBuild37

I don't have link for them but you can search here and try to study first and see what others are sayings about those roms. And a piece of advice "Do it at your own risk", hope you can find better one.:) Goodluck!

It also happen on one of my cm flare after I rooted it, maybe it's because of the root file we use.

What Operating System did you reformat your PC?

Anyway, if you have Windows XP try this Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or Windows 7 try this Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5

For more info, go here AIO]Universal Android Flasher v1.40

P.S. I know you are using mobile phone to post here but please don't use shortcut text message, because it's hard for anyone to find a solution to a problem if it's spelled wrong.

Recovery mode problem

When accessing the Recovery mode it appears the following

E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument)

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

then shutdown. I tried flashing boot.img, system.img, recovery.img but no luck. I already erase those using fastboot

View attachment 2301070

Please help me, this is my 5th day searching for the possible solutions. Thanks in advance :)

The reason why I'm trying to access the recovery mode is because, my device stopped booting up, when plugged in, it shows the battery logo and within 5 seconds it is turning off, if unplugged it automatically boots into CM logo, and within 5 seconds it also turns off.

I am having a Karbonn S5 device. Since last 10 days I can

not connect my device to my computer to transfer

but that no longer happens when I connect to my PC

(windows 7 pro). I have read many of the forums and

none of them seem to solve my problem. When I

connect my device via USB I do not get any message on my PC. If fact the pc automatically selects charging mode.

Yes, I am checking the notifications bar, and NOTHING

is showing up.

Yes, I am using the right cable. I even bought new cable just to make sure mine was good.

Yes, I have rebooted both my PC, and device, several

times.

Yes, my device is charging once connected to the PC.

My device is a rooted one and I hv a little knowledge on system file access and edit.

If there are system files that are responsible for this kind of pop up msg, let me know

[Karbonn A21] BlueFireSiege:
can't flash a ROM via fastboot, maybe bricked

I am using the stock ROM (non-rooted) and decided to flash a new one. First, I made a factory reset (wipe data and cache partition). But when I have rebooted to check on something, my CM Flare just shows the splash logo then goes black. I went back to the recovery mode to check if I have missed something and it has shown me a lot of errors (mount errors) for the /cache/ and the /data/ partitions.

I am able to use recovery as well as fastboot but it seems that flashing a binary (img dump from stock ROM) does not work in fastboot using AIO Flasher. :(

Has anybody experienced this? Any solutions to resolve this? Thanks!

If you're going to accomodate this YaShGoHel, the system partition is at blk12. :)

*I personally wouldn't because I'm not sure what is in our device's system partition. Some phones store IMEI and/or MAC info there and although MAC is relatively harmless to distribute, I'm more concerned about possible IMEI distribution. :)
