Will be willing to give the rom dump,recovery.img as requested hope this interest you......:cool:

PLEASE REPLY SOON.....
[Android General] PRRash:
I know its your own decision. But as a suggestion, going for the same old, obsolete tab is not recommended, specially this karbonn one, their service support is pathetic. Also if you are concerned, these damn tablets will never ever get OS updates or proper support..Anyways, it's your call buddy :)
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
Lets say i am a collage student living in a hostel where a lot of laptops are stolen and i only use the tablet to watch movies,play games,office and surf and so far i have found that karbonn st-10 is the most cost effective till now it can support the latest game and i have not had a single problem with it until now (I guess it was a little my part since i tried to run bcmon app) So unless i find a tablet which is 10 inch and have the following specs i guess karbonn is my no1 choice and also i love the tablet ui so i do not want to update it as from 4.2 the tablet ui has been removed anyway thanks for telling.

By the way if you know anyplace which does this custom ROM and Recovery service please inform me....thank you in advance:fingers-crossed:
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Sorry, I'm not doing any developing for the Karbonn tabs. I did write up a ton of info on how to do almost all of it yourself though and posted it to DragonDevs.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
Can you give the link again please
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Yep, I've posted all my writing here.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
Thanks a lot but the main problem i am having is that i can not find a SIMPLE tutorial of making a TWRP recovery as you know whithout a custom recovery it is dangerous to do all this modification. I can make a Custom ROM with trial and error effort and i have mad some custom ROMs based upon your ST-10 Custom ROM 1.5 and a ROM Dump but i am having serious problem with the custom recovery as you know it is a one try chance and if i screw it the service centre would charge 450 rupees just for a software problem.

So all i ask is can you help me with any one of the following thing

-Make a custom Recovery OR

-Introduce me to someone who would make a custom recovery (Will be willing to pay) OR

-Lastly if not possible Give me links to the tutorial of making a TWRP Recovery (Preferabally a Vedio Tutorial)

WOULD BE VERY GREATFULL IF YOU COULD DO THE FOLLOWING THINGS-----
[Android General] fuser-invent:
I've only made one TWRP Recovery and it was before I started writing things down. The page linked from the official TWRP website has all the optional code you can use, like if you need to define dual storage, and there are a lot of guides on XDA and Rootz like this one. I also wish there was a video guide for building TWRP. I don't know of anyone who you could pay to build it but you can ask around. I don't like doing things for devices I don't have because then other people become testers and might wreck their device and not be able to unbrick it. It also means I have to wait long periods of time to get feedback and change things, I can't just plug it in myself and troubleshoot quickly and I can unfortunately only speak English, so communicating can be difficult.

I tried to flash Karbonn custom ROM with twrp recovery but it goes on bootloop of recovery. Please help
[Android General] leecorp:
The detailed procedure is I root my device with cfroot and then flash twrp recovery and flash Karbonn custom ROM v1.5.zip it shows successful ,but when I tried to reboot device after completion then a message display on twrp that 'it seems your device not rooted' click to install supersu and then after reboot the device goes again to twrp screen. I tried it many times but all times it failed. Please help if you known to that issue.
[Android General] deveshprabhu:
Were you able to make another version on this above 1.5?
[Android General] fuser-invent:
No, development stopped at v1.5 and that ROM is only for version 1 of the Karbonn tablets, so be careful flashing.
[Android General] freeeekout:
Please can anyone provide me wit a link to working twrp or cwm recovery for st10...

I have tried the one posted by ozadroid but that didn't work for me. Mine is not a v2 tab as the stock recovry posted by him worked.

I have searched every where but no use. Please help...

I need custome recovery…badly…

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

What tab are you using..? Can you give me a link to the twrp recovry that use used,..?
[Android General] freeeekout:
Hey fuser I have a strange prob with my st10. Wish you can help.

I cannot boot into recovery using the key combinations power+vol-. It just flashes the screen and then wouldn't turn on.just blank.

But would normally boot into os. And I can boot into recovery from os using ' boot into recovery option' . I don't know what I messed up.

Please help. Thank you.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
That's odd, I've never encountered that before. I've definitely heard of people not being able to boot into recovery but never that they could still do it from the OS. Do all your buttons work properly when you are in the OS (to make sure it isn't a hardware problem)? Does holding down other key combinations boot you into recovery? Are you booting to stock recovery or TWRP? If you put the TWRP file on your external SD card, can you then boot into recovery? Do you have a v1 or v2 ST10 tablet and have you tried re-flashing the ROM if you have a v1?
[Android General] freeeekout:
I don't think its a hardware problem as all the buttons work well when in os. More over there are only 4 buttons power, 2 volume, menu. I tried all the combinations to directly boot into recovery. But couldn't . I tried with both twrp and stock recovery. Rican boot into both of them from os . I flashed the recovery from inside the os using flash_image. I tried putting the file in extsd but no use. Moreover the twrp doest work on my tab. Regarding the version it doesn't specify v2 near the serial number so I think its v1. I have posted the log from twrp 4-5 posts back. Can you take a look at it.?
[Android General] fuser-invent:
The log appears to be saying that it is looking for partitions that aren't where they are supposed to be. So my best guess would be that you do have a v2 Karbonn tablet. That would also explain why you are having the recovery problem, if you try to flash v1 stuff to a v2 tablet you will certainly cause problems.

I used to work on a lot of tablets, so someone else here can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the v2 Karbonn tablets are EXT4 formatted? That would be the easiest way to tell if you had a v1 or a v2 because v1 was UBIFS. Download this app, go to the System tab and choose Mounting Points.
[Android General] freeeekout:
Yes /system /data /cache all are ext4 in the mount points tab.

And one more thing when I turn the tab off while still connected to power a charging battery icon appears after poweroff. From there I can enter recovery by using the keys power + vol down. But couldn't when there is no charging symbol. But as you have said if I flashed the v1 Recovery i shouldn't be able enter recovery no matter how i try, right !

What should I do now.? any help.?

Is there any way you could change the mount points in twrp so it can work on this tab? ?

Or any other help would be nice.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
It is definitely possible that you could boot into this TWRP but you wouldn't be able to do things like backup your ROM. Often the touchscreen won't work either but it sounds like yours does? That is a good sign. You would have to change more than the mount points I think but it could be possible to just edit the existing TWRP to work with the new version of the tablet. Has anyone made a ST10 v2 or ST8 v2 TWRP yet?

EDIT: Also, I don't think anyone has posted a ST10 v2 ROM dump yet.
[Android General] freeeekout:
No I can't find any. And I don't even have stock recovery for st10 v2

But as you can see I can do almost all except for directly booting into recovery using key comb. And I can install using the v1 recovery too.

And v1 twrp does every other command like rebooting and so. it could read 4he folders but not the files.

So if it is simple and not very time consuming can you fix that mounting error in twrp v1. I would try it and see if it will work,..

And thank you for your help

Fuser seams like some one made st8v2 twrp. But has some bugs he says.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2155864&d=1375296726
[Android General] fuser-invent:
I don't have a tablet to test it on and would need a stock recovery pulled from an ST10 v2 tablet. Anyone can try and test it out though. CXZ's unpack-repack package is good. At a minimum I would assume that the following files would need to be replaced with the ones from the stock recovery:

open_mass_storage.sh

fdisk.media.sh

recovery.fstab

default.prop

However, you should never just blindly replace files. Its important to take a look at them and see if it makes sense or if you just need to change part of it.

EDIT: I have the ST8 v2 ROM dump but it doesn't have the ST10 v2 default.prop and wouldn't want to use that as a basis for a different tablet. It's too risky. If anyone with a ST10 v2 posts a recovery.img pulled from their device I might be able to make the above edits to the TWRP if I have time but I can't guarantee it will work or not cause problems since I can't test it myself.
[Android General] freeeekout:
Sadly i dont have v2 recovery.img either. I thought if the v1 stock in fully working and. V1 twrp is also but just for the mounting points i thought it would be possible to build v2 twrp by just changing the mount points.

Any way thakyou very much for your time.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
There has to be someone on this thread or a Karbonn thread on another forum who is willing to post a v2 recovery. Or if you feel like swimming in risky waters you could try the changes using the st8 v2 files. You can pull a lot of the other things like the build.prop from your tablet since it's still functioning.
[Android General] freeeekout:
Fuser thankyou for your suggestion. But i cant risk bricking my device again. Last time it took them 5 months to repair.

And more over i literally know nothing about how to do what you suggested. I thought flashing a wrong recovery will not brick the device.
[Android General] 2012katas:
I have received my tablet after six months.

This recovery is working for st8v2.

Tested it as follows

In the point 7 i have mentioned i havent tried wipe and install options.........but it should work fine as backup and restore is working properly so the mount points must be fine.
[MENTION=4959164]fuser-invent[/MENTION] could u pursue ChristianTroy to release his sources so that they can be used for other amlogic based tablest which he isnt supporting...........he has got kitkat 4.4.2 builds up and running for other devices.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
CT's sources are on Github. Anyone that wants to can take the ICS fork and build in the parts of JB or KitKat that work. His KitKat build isn't 100%, it works but only for a handful of tablets and with limited functionality and some bugs. Somethings also probably won't be fixed because of Mali problems with the aml kernel. He hasn't updated Github with the JB/KitKat stuff because people were stealing his work and calling it their own.

New for androids ...PLZ HELPP... (ABSOLUTE stuckkk....)(WENT through all the post)

Hi .... New for all android...

PLZ helppp... for ST 10 simple tab. ( not the Ver2 ) ..

OK... so .....

I wanted just root & so first I tried the basic crystal root zip only from stock recovery( power & volume down button) ....

But no luck .. Tab was not rooting only ...( I went through the posts & did exactly as described) ( I know it is written crystal root.zip has worked for all , but did not work for me :( ) Did it some 6-7 times without luck...

So then I searched extensively & went through all the posts , read all the posts ( so many things I did not understand as a newbie though) .

Next I did stock plus rom v1.2 from stock recovery ( I put the zip folder on SD card , boot into stock recovery , update from ext , then stock plus rom v1.2 ) ....Here after reboot it stuck only at karonn logo while rebooting , not opening the system ( may be what you are calling as soft brick !!)

But it was booting into stock recovery .....So I felt happy & from the stock recovery I did karbonn st 10 factory reset ( files provided by you through mediafire) .... it's done .... I clicked reboot .....& THEN IT DID NOT RESTRAT ONLY .NOT STARTING IN STOCK RECOVERY ALSO .PLZZZZ HELP>>>I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ... PLZ HELPP>>>>

( SORRY IF I MADE ANY MISTAKES IN WRITING IN THE THREAD , AS NOT MUCH EXPERIENCED WITH ALL THESE...)

PLZ HELP>>

THNX........
[Android General] freeeekout:
First of all -- your tab is v2 even though it doesnt say on it. IT IS V2

Second - You shouldn't have done what you did without knowing or asking someone. if you have searched properly in this thread you would have found the solution that i have posted few months back - with links.

now -- all you can do is give the tab in service center and pray that they will return it as soon as possible.

they 5 months for my tab.

but if they have proper software and the service center people are nice they can do it with in minutes.

DON'T TRY ANYTHING ELSE. just give it to the service center.asap
[Android General] drdev20051:
Are you sure ? It is v2 ? after S/N it didnt write V2 ,,( I learnt from the thread only)..

Any how if it now not booting ,, nd I have to give there .... anything can I try before i give to cervice centre ?? THNX ...
[Android General] freeeekout:
i am 99% sure, provided the details you have posted are true.

because i too have same tab. i think the diff is in partition table formats. that's why crystal root doesn't work. there is another software which can root this tab by connecting to pc.

as i said don't try anything. just give it. there is nothing you can do. if it still shows the logo they can simply reflash the software and the tab will be up and running in no time.

hey, don't forget to tell me after getting your tab back. i will be needing you to post stock recovery and rom for making custom recovery.
[Android General] drdev20051:
Ok. THNX ... Actually I am in village right now , 300 km away from the cervice centre , thts y I asked if ny thing i can do ... never mind , I will give there in centre when I go back ...

THNX ...
[Android General] drdev20051:
Can any body give the tutorial for flashing the hard bricked device from computer ....with the help of data cable & flash driver .... I can try it .. any how now it is bricked & now I am going to give it in the centre after 1 1/2 months or more !!!!

( As I rememmber we used to do it in hard bricked symbian nokia devices....)

( I might need firmware for the Ver 2 of the ST 10 tab , as said above by the freekout , though it is not written Ver 2 after S/N on the back of the tab ...

THNX....

I have the latest karbon custom ROM 1.5 in my ST8, when I play games like subway,real boxing it sometimes totally hang. I have to click the reset button to restart. Is there any solution for this then please guide me.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
If this package works it should stabilize random reboots. I should also mention that this v1.1 update adds data/app folder capability and that is is based on whatever nanddump I was sent by ankitaruler. Since this thread is for two separate tablets of different sizes, it's likely that it might not work on whatever the other size tablet is. It all depends on if there are any major hardware changes between the two sizes.
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
Don't really know whether there is any hardware differences or not.. But the kernels are certainly different..
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Someone will have to provide me with a dump of the files from the other size tablet then to make a compatibility zip. I'm assuming there will be different screen hardware drivers for the different size.

Re: Karbonn Smart Tab 8 & 10 Rooting and Memory Swapping(Lag-free Tweak)

Cpu's are different.!
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Really quick research on a couple sites shows that the cameras are different but it looks to me like the CPU's are the same.
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
No the CPU is same. The same chipset actually..Amlogic AML8726-M6...The same one used by Ainol Novo 7 Crystal and most other Ainol tabs..
[Android General] Ozadroid:
PCB ST10= g05_n97aenref

PCB ST8=g05_n1bref

what are these?
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
It's the name of the device. Just like Sony Live with Walkman's name is Coconut and Sony Xperia Mini's name is Smultron...These are device names. Though both use the same Qualcomm chipset..

Re: Karbonn Smart Tab 8 & 10 Rooting and Memory Swapping(Lag-free Tweak)

When are we gonna get cwm??
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
Obviously. That's what I said I tried it myself...It's perfectly running...
[Android General] fuser-invent:
So that's good news that this v1.1 worked! If you "soft" bricked your device, meaning you can still boot into recovery but you can't get past the bootanimation and into the Android OS, this should fix your device. Next I will try to put together one with the boot.img and recovery.img for people who attempted to flash a ROM from another device and overwrote those important partitions. I will leave the "stock plus" ROM's as is, for people to use for unbricking purposes and any additional tweaks/mods will be release as some sort of custom ROM here.

I want to mention that SetCPU does not work well with these AMLOGIC CPU's, so I would suggest uninstalling that or any other CPU control app. There are init.d scripts that tweak all this stuff for you and set the min/max wake & sleep frequencies so that there will be more stability and less random reboots, lags and freezes. If you want to adjust your CPU settings, I would suggest using a root explorer, going to "settings/etc/virtuous_oc" and using a text editor to change the values.

For 8" tab users, someone needs to grab and send me a ROM dump. See this thread by one of my developer partners instructing you on how to do that.

Lastly, from glancing over this thread quickly, it looks like your tablet rotates from landscape to portrait fine but you are stuck with the PhoneUI and not the fake TabletUI that looks like a tablet but apps open in phone mode? I just want to verify that before I start editing smali code.

Oh yeah and please take a second to hit thank you button if I've helped you out. If you want to know more about my work check out this ROM for the Ainol Crystal and this ROM for the Ainol Hero.
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
Ya you're right...It's the Phablet UI also used in Nexus 7...Not the Fake Tablet UI...Eagerly waiting for the True Tablet UI man....:good:
[Android General] razer1224:
Re: Karbonn Smart Tab 8 & 10 Rooting and Memory Swapping(Lag-free Tweak)

There is a WiFi sleep problem

Whenever I leave the tab at rest the WiFi turns off
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Please report if you are talking about your stock ROM or my stock+ ROM when posting.

The CPU on most of these tablets has a hardware limitation with the Wifi chips, so if you leave Wifi on during "sleep" then the tablet will not go into deep sleep. It will stay on even though the screen is off and you will only get about 4-5 hours of battery life because the tablet is still going. If you turn that setting to "never" in the advanced wifi options then the tablet will go into deep sleep and you'll get 20+ hours of battery life / standby time. My ROM has a build.prop setting that defaults that wifi setting to "never" but you can change it in the settings menu.

If you want to turn it off, change: "ro.platform.has.sleeppolicy=true" to "ro.platform.has.sleeppolicy=false"
