might be overload problem your HD must have taken too much current from the tab , was it a sudden blackout or it gave normal shut down like SHUTTING DOWN/ POWERING OFF. if it was a systematic shutdown, then your tab will work fine, allow it to rest and charge again.

Thanks for replying.It was a sudden shut down.I did charge it for a long time but it is not starting.:( ,Has it got bricked?
[Android General] ACE RNS111:
i m not a expert , but my close friend has nexus7 he used 1TB HD and suddenly tab got switched off, he for it fixed from service center (free) but it was due to circuit burnt inside due to high power, i hope its not in ur case, but u can get it fixed from service center they wont come to know about rooting as such .

@fuser-invent i am trying to use the adb feature in my karbonn st10 but it is not working with my desktop do we have install any aditional drivers for Karbonn or any other software i have read that you need to install eclipse or java is it totally needed as i am in an hostel using my friends computer and i would like to keep the installation to the minimum

I have not yet tested but is there anyway to only use ADB without using the entire SDK as i have read in some treads?? I have the entire SDK in my pendrive but is there anyway to extract ADB files from it and use it:confused:
[Android General] Ozadroid:
To install drivers Download n install 'pdanet' for your pc.
[Android General] droidiser:
Any good case with keyboard?

Is anyone using any case with an attached keyboard. Any online store having one? Btw, I am asking for karbonn smart tab 8
[Android General] handy5876:
Definitely overload problem frying the USB power circuits. I think a 5400 rpm HDD is too much for the tablet to handle. But tab manufacturers should think of power limit protection rather than letting the tab fry itself. I think this problem is likely to repeat with more people. Heads up.
[Android General] ACE RNS111:
agree but they also need to keep budget tight, as i said i m not expert with ur rpm of HD specs, but if nexus can get burntout , yes its a blunder :crying:
[Android General] fuser-invent:
@ mushipkw - Finally! That is good news.

@ anandisrocking007 - No you don't need the whole SDK package. Just download this and you should be good to go. There are ADB drivers in a folder inside the zip. There is a pdanet one that Ozadroid mentioned I think and also a universal naked driver that has worked for all of the Ainol Amlogic tablets. If you can't download my package for some reason, I think the bare minimum you'd need to extract from the SDK package would be abd.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll.
[Android General] mushipkw:
Yeah, it is. And I'm already rocking your Custom ROM on it.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
Sorry i cant understand what pdanet is:confused:

My 11 year old nephew wants a tab for playing games. Is the ST10 worth a buy. I like the large screen but does it perform well in reality?

Or are there any better tablets for similar budget.

I thought of suggesting the Samsung 311 tab, though more expensive and smaller screen, thought hardware may be better and reliable.

Any suggestions guys?

ST8.

-ST10 would be too heavy for an 11 yr old kid.

-ST8 n 10 Both have same hardware, so ST8 can play what ST10 can. Not all games, but almost every game meant for an 11 yr.
[Android General] jesrani:
How much does the tab weigh? I have a iPad2 with 10" screen and even my 6 yr old plays with it quite easily.

The big screen is really nice. Of course, the iPad has an excellent resolution/sharpness. Don't know how it is on the ST10.

How is the viewing angle on ST10?
[Android General] ACE RNS111:
the ST8 weights 420 grams
[Android General] Ozadroid:
Resolution for ST8 is quite good. But i suppose ST10 has lower dpi due to same resolution but bigger screen. And viewing angles are bad in both the tabs as they are cheap.

I need a couple of things to trouble-shoot the extended power menu.

1. Someone with the stock ROM to snap a screen shot of their shutdown menu screen.

2. Someone with the Custom v1.4 ROM to snap a screen shot of their shutdown menu.

3. An explanation of what happens for both when you use the menu.

User Management for Karbonn ST10

Excellent app for Karbonn ST10 Tablet: com.appaholics.um (Just search User Management on Play store).

It help you to create multiple user each with different login and profile.

Very helpful if multiple people use this tablet.

This was the feature for which I was looking for Jelly Bean 4.2, but it is inbuild in 4.1 but not exposed.
[Android General] anirudhnyg:
I just Bought a smart tab 10 yesterday ! .. installed the Custom ROM .. is it normal that the screen doesnt turn on when pressing the Home Button (the button Below the screen) ? i am sure the button works because it goes to the home screen when i press it in any app .. but the screen doesnt turn on when the tab is locked .. i have to use the lock button on the side which is very flimsy and i feel might break soon :confused: ... is there a way to use the Home button to wake up the screen when the tablet is locked ?

fahrbot.apps.switchme is not working well as in built Multiuser in Jelly Bean 4.1. But in built has lots of problem as settings, home screen, locker and notification is not designed for multiuser. Say you have created user B and primary user is A. When logged in as B, you will get notification and settings from A. When clicked on it application from user A will be started under logging B.

For me fahrbot.apps.switchme reboot tablet it does not switch user on the fly.
[Android General] Ozadroid:
The buttons you are talking about are not 'Hardware Buttons'. So they will only work when the screen is on. The only choice you have is to wake the device with lock button.

[Android General] droidiser:
This app is exactly what you need. First download keynrtracker, and find the identity of your home button. Then install button remapper, and look for your home button in the list of buttons there. Change your home button's state to wake_dropped. This will wake your device when your display is off. If you want to use it as power button, you can do that too.

[Android General] superpfpf:
1. save update.zip into the root directory of your microSD card (TF card).

2. Power off your Galapad G1, and then insert microSD card into your Galapad G1

3. Press and hold “volume (-)” and “On/Off” button at the same time to enter recovery mode.

4. Release buttons when you see “RECOVERY”.

5. Press “volume (-)” button 4 times to select “apply update from sdcard”, press “On/Off” button to start.

6. When installation completed, press “On/Off” button to restart.

custom flasher

@fuser-invent I have gone through a lot of tutorials and so for creating update.zip but there are certain things i dont understand like the update-binary what is it and is it the same for all devices and zips or it is device or command specific if same can you give me a copy of that file please

Also i want to know that do we have to mount the partition by the update-script to unmount it the command is easy but to make a mount script i am having diffulty to understand Eg:-

Code:

mount("filesystem-type", "partition-type", "device-specific-location", "mount-point");

filesystem-type: "ext4" or "yaffs2" (maguro is ext4)

partition-type: "EMMC" or "MTD" (maguro is EMMC)

location: Device specific address

mount-point: /system etc

How to find out the-Partition-type

-device specific location

Like

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system", "/system");

I have no idea how to get /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system or EMMC

:eek:
[Android General] Ozadroid:
Get recovery.fstab from a recovery of the device it has all the info about the partitions you want.

Or

In terminal emulator type "cat /proc/mountpoints

Cat /proc/mtd

Cat /proc/partitions"

These commands will gv info abt partitions. But its easier nd more understandable if u extract the revovery.fstab from a recovery.

[Android General] Ozadroid:
The .89 mb internal if for app data.. u cannot use that to store local files. The other is ur original internal sdcard destination where u hv swapped ur ext sdcard
[Android General] nitingoel2:
ok.. but wasnt the swap which we did was to install and store applications and application data on sd card instead of the internal memory so tab wont become slow and more and more applications can be installd..

Partitions

@ozadroid

Can you throw some light on the st8 partition structure

I got part of the /proc/partitions file below.

mtdblock5 "system" 1024MB

mtdblock6 "cache" 255MB

mtdblock7 "userdata" 1024MB

mtdblock8 "NFTL_Part" 1748.00MB

avnftli1 NA /storage/sdcard0 vfat 1542.3MB

This is part of the /proc/mounts file

ubi0_0 /system ubifs rw,relatime 0 0

ubi1_0 /data ubifs rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime 0 0

/dev/block/mtdblock6 /cache yaffs2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime 0 0

/dev/block/vold/250:33 /storage/sdcard0 vfat

The cache mapping seems to be clear. But the /system and /data is not. It looks like the mtdblock5 and 7 are mapped to /system and /data. Further mtdblock8 seems to be mapped to /sdcard0. Is there some fstab or something like that which decides all these mappings?

could anyone help me? please!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:
[Android General] Ozadroid:
Yes it was.. ok i think i got u confused. The .89mb internal is for installing and the sdcard is to store its data.

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

I dunno the exact explanation but i will try.

This shows the name of the partitions like 'system' and on which block it is present.. like 'mtdblock5'.

ubi0_0 - - /system - - ubifs - - rw

Mount - - partition - - file - - rw/ro

Point - - name - - system

And likwise. Rest other things idk what those are.

Yes the recovery.fstab defines all partitions with all information.

do you need to be rooted to use these commands and also how to get recovery.fstaband extract it????

Sdcard mount was commented in recovery.fstab. and the size of stock recovery is 8mb whereas cwm is 4.75mb

[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:

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

No... i built the cwm then edited recovery.fstab in cwm! Though u can do the reverse aswell... edit the recovery.fstab in stock recovery n then build
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
Can you just PM me your CWM?? And do not worry I won't take any credits. It's totally yours.

And another thing is was it running directly(without editing) after you made it from the builder.recovery site?? Because for ST10 it's not working. And how did you flash the recovery?? flash_image method??

Instead please provide me the recovery.fstab which is working for you.

[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
Nopes. Ain't working. Your CWM is actually just restarting the tab. Causing something like a bootloop.
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
@ozadroid=> Now I understand why the Rom dump for you is 1 GB. That's because you are dumping your system partition using the Android Partition Manager app. Sorry mate this is not the correct way of dumping your ROM. What this app does is it dumps the whole system partition into an .img file. As the System partition is of max 1 GB it dumps it totally. What you have to do is follow the instructions in the link I'm giving. This will dump the ROM files in their original sizes.
