[GUIDE] Install GSMART ROM ROOT your A30 and Install CWM recovery

Yep I Completely agree with u buddy, the stock rom in A30 isn,t worth ****...:(

Ok So First Install The GSMART RIO R1 ROM , Here,s the Link

http://www.gigabytecm.com/images/2012/GSmart_Rio R1_V1.08.0.zip

Note: U can install this update using the stock recovery, dont need a CWM recovery for this

How to Update:

1. Download the zip Archive

2.Extract the downloaded file onto ur PC

3.u,ll find a zip named as GBC_update.zip , copy it to the root of ur sd card

4.Power off ur device and Reboot into Recovery (Power Button+ Vol up)

5.Choose apply update from sd card... and the first part is .DONE :good::p

Note: After Booting the Launcher wont work,and contacts and messaging will crash... dont sweat , Just go to settings and reset ur device to factory setting... After Reboot , it should be working perfectly

Now Get Root Acces ( HOW TO ROOT Videocon A30 )

FOR ROOT ACCESS

1) Download and install drivers first from this page: priceandspecification.in/videocon-a30-pc-suite-software-modem-driver-free-download.html

2) Download ‘Root with restore by binary v18’, search and download from google.

4)Go to Phone settings > devloper options > check Debugging option and Stay Awake

5) Settings > Security > Allow unauthorized

6) Connect phone with usb and turn off MTP and unmount SD cards if any (no file transfer mode)

7) Wait till all the drivers get installed

8) Open cmd and type cd C:\Root "here in place of C it should be your os drive"

9) type "stuff\adb devices", you must see something like MSM8225 and it shouldnt be offline. If its showing offline reboot ur system, mobile and try again frm step 6

10)type RunMe and enter

11)Select Mode 1

12)In mobile window select "Restore"

13) Wait for the reboot device and you are done

14) You will see a new app called ‘Super User’ in mobile

15) Now you can install any App that requires root access.

I Also Rooted my Videocon A30 using this method

Now Time To Install Clockworkmod Recovery

Ok So You,ve Rooted ur Device,

1.Install Root Explorer fron the market

2 open Root explorer and Tap Mount R/W

3. scroll down to the system folder , open it and you,ll find there is file named " recovery-from-boot.p " , delete it.

4. 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.

5.Install Fastboot

Note: I Personally used this program coz it has both ADB and Fastboot commands in the same folder

ADB Made Easy

6: Download CWM recovery (chinese) for A30 (sorry no english version available yet:p )

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

AND YOU ARE DONE...:good:

Congratulations U,ve Succesfully Installed a New ROM , Rooted ur Device and Installed CWM Recovery on your Videocon A30 (and Void ur Warranty :D:D:D:D:p)

Anyways ...Good Luck and Hope I Helped...Cheers:good::good::good::good::good::good::cool::cool::cool:
