stck at karbonn logo

i have rooted my tab, karbonn st10 using impactor because installing crystal_root.zip didn't work for me.

it went well. i haven't installed any custom recovery.

but i accidentally changed the "owner" and "group" values for "/root" folder in es-explorer while trying to "rw mount in root explorer"

i changed both the values to 'root'. there wasn't any problem then.

but when i tried to restart the tab it wouldn't go past the starting logo.

when i try to get into recovery it wouldn't even start.

HELP PLZ,.. what should i do now,... i have read all the threads i can find on the net regarding this problem... all i see are solutions for ainol tabs..

plz some one reply asap,... i am a bit unfamiliar to software side,... but can understand if told to do some thing,...

ANY ONE REPLY ASAP...

thankyou..
[Android General] PRRash:
I suppose service center to the rescue. We do not have any flashing methods like odin till now..
[Android General] fuser-invent:
I'm pretty sure I uploaded an ST10 stock ROM and explained what to do with it somewhere in the thread. I also linked to my unbricking thread somewhere in this thread. Your situation sounds like a soft brick with a rescue SD method would most likely fix it.
[Android General] navinash.avi:
can any tell which flash tool to use to flash karbonn st8

here is the link https://hotfile.com/list/2274114/06ac9c6
[Android General] PRRash:
i dont think we have a flash tool for our devices.:confused:
[Android General] freeeekout:
yes i have read all most all of your threads...

i have downloaded the stock rom (ST10_20121129_Official_V1.zip) and as mentioned in "method 1" of your unbricking guide i tried to creat sd rescue through "new way using linux" but without any luck, as the system wouldn't recognize my sdcard after flashing it with modified u-boot.img.

and as for the windows way using usb burning tool i couldn't fing "rescue.img" for my tab to flash it to the sdcard. and i way afraid to use ainol rescue imgs that they would hard brick my device.

plz advice me on this. have you posted a "rescue img" for karbonn st10 someware ??
[Android General] fuser-invent:
You are correct in not using and Ainol image. Never flash anything for another tablet to your decide or you will probably brick it. The only exception is if you know what you are doing and are attempting to port something. If the new method I posted isn't working for you, then you may have either misread it or you should try another sd card. It would be good to try one that is smaller than 4GB, but under 2GB is even better.

As for the rest of your question, I answered it in the other forum you posted to. For everyone else, here was my response: You should be flashing the files inside the ST10_20121129_Official_V1.zip. The rescue images are just those files but packaged as an .img file so that you can create a properly formatted sd card using the image. You can use any image to create the card in the way I described and then just copy your files over to it, replacing the ones that are on there.That is why I say that if it doesn't work, try using the ELF2 images and then just replacing the files. I would suggest using the new Linux method by CT to create the card now though, as it will guarantee you have the proper u-boot running.
[Android General] freeeekout:
i have bricked it

thank you

but too late. i already done it ignorantly. now my tab just wont respond to any buttons.

any other things you want me to try,...

thank you.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
If there is still any sign of life with the screen then continue with the SD card suggestions. If there is not, then plug it in and see if it's recognized by the computer. There is no AML USB Burning package for your tablet, so trying to get out of a hard or deep brick would be 100% experimentation. If you are able to send your tablet to a service center, I'd suggest you do that, if not then I've already made a lot of suggestions to an ST8 user in this thread and the unbricking thread on DragoDevs, the same ideas apply to the ST10.

karbonn st10 rooting and installing stock recovery

don't worry. same thing happened to me too.

all you have to do is root ur tab using cydia impactor

https://cydia.saurik.com/api/latest/2

just download the software form link for windows.

connect the tab to the compute using usb with usb debugging on.

install the necessary drivers.

open the software and press start.

it will take anout 10 sec if every thing goes well.

now for reinstalling stock recovery

download this file and extract both the files into /sdcard

https://mega.co.nz/#!pdND2RgR!DnmArEKSwuVQj37nnp5CdHQuAAIEnPzsB9By3rEyFIY

now

first copy "flash_image" file to "/system/bin" using x-plore (superuser+mount writable) settings

give it 'mode:777'(all ticks) permissions using x-plore

now open terminal emulator with superuser permissions and enter following commands.

su

cd /sdcard

flash_image recovery recovery.img

thats it your tab will be rooted and back to stock recovery.

[Android General] freeeekout:
why? what did you do.?

did you change permissions of any other files?

same thing happened to my tab after i changed permisions for /root folder.

i had to give it in service center.
[Android General] rishabhsingh:
karbonn st10

i dont no.i may have changed the permission.do i also have to give it to the service center?
[Android General] freeeekout:
most probably yes.

i tried all i could find on my tab but nothing worked. so i gave it in service center.

it takes min of 1 mth.

you shouldn't change permissions of system files.
[Android General] rishabhsingh:

i m not able to root my karbonn smart tab 10 phone plz help. i hve done whatever u told, update complete but nothing happens. :(
[Android General] devashish64:
Hi,

Just purchased a Karbonn ST-10 Cosmic online. I had wanted a fair sized e-book reader which wouldn't make me squint at a small screen. Received a neatly packaged tablet which had the battery and chassis partially protruding out of the frame in Rt upper corner, but i just pressed it in. I was pleasantly surprised with its performance and so decided to root it, and swap the SD cards.

Followed instructions and flashed crystalroot.zip from external SD card. everything seemed to go OK. I found I could go up to root of Internal SD card using pre-installed ES file explorer 1.6.2.1, but could not mount root as writable, and could not replace 'vold.fstab'. In ES Fxplorer settings-->root settings, i was able to "enable up to root directory". But the first setting "Root explorer" showed a pop-up warning "When 'SU Request' dialog popup, please select 'always allow' or make system 'remember' your 'allow' choice. Do you want to try this feature anyway ?". When i pressed Yes, it showed "Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your phone." Root check app showed unrooted status

Tried again, with same result. thought i would use TWRP, but too late, i realised there were 2 different TWRP recoveries available, both with the same name but one 5.22 Mb in size, and the other 140.33 KB in size. Afraid i don't remember which one i used, obviously the wrong one.

Now, i can turn on my tablet, preinstalled applications run, (though the ebook reader crashes with epubs). apks which i have downloaded from playstore do not install, in fact nothing happens when i press them. if i long press, i get an operations dialog - open as, extract to, view, cut, copy, etc.

When i follow procedure for built in native recovery (power+vol dn), i end up in a "safe mode". Hard reset merely powers down the tablet. Without any way to enter the native recovery, i am stuck.

Can anyone help, please ?

PS: Latest is that Power + Vol Dn does absolutely nothing, not even the "safe mode"

[MENTION=4795284]2012katas[/MENTION]

Thank you for your response. No, i don't think it's a ver 2, because it was mfd in early 2013, and battery cover does not say ver 2.

Unfortunately, your post (Flashed wrong recovery......SOLUTION) does not help me since 1) i am not rooted (crystalroot.zip approach did not work), 2) i am unable to install any apk, leave alone terminal emulator (have the apk), 3) unable to enter native recovery with power+vol dn. i already have the stock, stock plus, factory reset images, the works.

to recap: root attempt with crystalroot.zip failed. attempts to boot into native recovery were taking me into "safe mode". i am unable to install any apk. at present, power + vol dn does not even enter safe mode. not being able to boot into native or TWRP recovery means i cannot flash any recovery image. factory reset button merely powers off the tablet.

Someone has described a way to boot into TWRP --> Power + vol dn, wait for splash screen, release and short press power + vol dn again, and then it is either short press power thrice, or maybe short press vol dn thrice. it worked for me once, and once only, three days ago. Scared the pants off me, since i did not have any recovery img in root of sd card, was unfamiliar with TWRP, and had already functionally bricked the tab ;-p. i just pressed reboot and came out of it.

Now, when i have a recovery img ready, i can't boot into any recovery. Do you suppose you could help ? Thanks again.
[Android General] 2012katas:
Also try this

Also, TWRP/STOCK recovery image boots into recovery partition if the image is put in the root of the sdcard,try it,should definitely work....then try this zip the difference between this zip and crystal root zip is that this zip supports ext4 filesystem

Rooting Karbonn ST10

Further to #1129, #1131 and #1134 above.

I have to thank 2012katas for the advice. As for i, i first laid hands on an android device just about a month ago, guess you can't get greener that.

Current status: Naked USB drivers from < http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1998650 > installed, Device manager --> Android phone --> Google Nexus S ADB Interface. USB debugging enabled. USB storage NOT enabled. Root of internal sd card NOT mounted as RW, as shown by ES file explorer 1.6.2.1. Unable to install any apk (root of internal card read-only?). I had installed latest ES file explorer BEFORE rooting attempt, but went back to preinstalled ES file explorer. Probably flashed wrong TWRP (2 different locations had TWRP recveries for K-ST10, one about 141K and the other 5.22M ! i think i used the smaller one since it seemed to be from a more reliable source.

Since then, my tablet boots normally. Does not boot into native recovery mode. Hard reset button only turns tablet off without any other change. Cannot install any apk. short press does nothing, long press on apk icon brings up "Operations" dialog box, from that "Open as" brings up "Open as - Text - Audio - Video - Image" dialog box.

Tried motochopper, end result after 2 failures is attached as < moto.jpg >. Tried impactor, get message in app window "testing #9950697", followed by dialog box "INSTALL_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR". Impactor driver scan --> "No such device". Device --> Reboot, reboots tablet. Device --> Run Shell, initially no such device or device not found, once or twice "shell@android:/ $_", once "device offline" though tablet on and connected and recognised in device manager.

Sorry for the mega post, but i wanted to get all the info across. My first priority now is to at least restore the tablet to it's pristine factory state, so i can start afresh, after learning from my mistakes.

Any advice ? Thanks for your patience. PS: also enclosed are screenshots (Win XP explorer) of my ext SD card, and internal SD card.
