First the unzip the GBC update you downloaded on PC see if the ZIP file is all right and unzips fully with out error. If some error occurs during unzip the download again and try unzipping the same on PC. If unzips without error, then do the installation on phone.

yes, I am using the stock recovery.

Device info (of time screen shoot)

single sim on

2g only no internet data

off => 3g(use 2x battery compare to 2g), gps, wifi(depends on range and technology used) ,proximity sensor(0.75mh), auto brightness(2.5mh-85mh)

brightness set mannualy by root dim brightness level range 1-50 (system default 20-255-this cause lot more fast battery drain)

screen off period 15 sec

disable 12-15 preinstall serviece or apps

no background process is system -> development -> second last option

system -> dev. -> force gpu rendering "on"

but after all this day experiance i think videocon has not provided us the best deal

1) kind of obsolat architecture processor-just dual core

2) screen power connsumption is too high (put your phone at max brightness and see how long it run)

3) cpu power consuption is high (compare to mediatek processor it use 1.6-3 times the power and still can not beat any of them if compare to same level due to cpu architecture) I used mediatek processor device ago it was very nice perfomance without overclock and 720p is no problem ui is leg free and screen power consumption is also too low (even at max it consume same as our min) it took 2 day with net and wifi use on 3g without it run 5 days 2 hr & still 2% left (I had that screen shoot also bt my 2 tb makes me hard to find ) that is the best with very rich color and brightness

4) cpu output is comparitively low (my year old funbook of 6k has 1001 bogoMIPS at 1.1ghz and it is single core ) while this device has 501 x 2 =1002 which is dual core :) so is my year old leg free single core divice is batter or so called dual core battery hunger phone...crap **** when compare. this is like when you drive the tata nano may be you like it but after having bmw or marc you will never stop comparing it with nano when you drive nano it self.

thats it guys, i found one thing indian brands tweak every phone in a bad way.try to buy the original china company phone as they are ready for the international market.they have optimised the services and software regarding.

ex. rio r1 has cpu range of 245-1008 with on demand governer (in day to day life it set frequency which is proper for that application load--in other word you want glass of water this will never drain the whole bottle and as per thet saves more power)

a30 has set idioticaly set it to 1008 with performance governer (this is only use for gaming and for seting benchmark while using constant battery--you need one drop of water and this will continiously force on the hose pipe and drain away the resource)

Thats it so go for un-tweaked chiness phone as they both having same quality of matirial and hardware just choose the evolved version of it that make you more happy after all.

Piece of Cake ...!!!

Ok So You,ve Rooted ur Device, Installed Root Explorer... now 1. open Root explorer and Tap Mount R/W 2. scroll down to the system folder , open it and you,ll find there is file named " recovery-from-boot.p " , delete it. 3. now again in the system folder u,ll find a folder named etc, open it, now scroll down and u,ll find a file named "install-recovery.sh" delete this file also nd u r done... in simple words delete the file

" recovery-from-boot.p " and "install-recovery.sh" from the system and system/etc folders respectively... Path to above Files:

/system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.

Note: You Have to delete these two files otherwise u wont be able to flash a custom recovery onto A30 while on a GSMART ROM, coz if u flash a custom recovery, without deleting these two files it,ll just revert back to stock recovery everytime.

Now

reboot in fastboot/bootloader mode(power off, then vol down+power)

cmd (open command prompt)

Now Type

fastboot flash recovery <location>

Note: It,s easier if u put CWM recovery image in the same folder as fastboot.

That way the command will be much easier and simpler such as:

fastboot flash recovery cwm.img

I am having a rooted A30.

I got a error 7 after few mins of installation.

I just rebooted the phone somehow ( it was confusing how to go back in chinese)

Showing Videocon screen, then GSMART screen and finally started upgrading 102 applications.

After that now the launcher is not working. So as mentioned in the forum I went to Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Factor Data Reset -> Reset Phone -> Erase everything. But nothing happens when I click this. What should I do?

All the apps I installed previosuly are still there including SuperSU, Whatsapp etc..

Even the wallpaper hasnt changed.
