Has anyone tried the TWRP recovery I posted yet?

@ nij.haan - If you read the threads linked in the first post you can see the features and change log for the ROMs.

@ mohanjackie - You flashed the recovery, meaning you overwrote the stock recovery. You can take the stock recovery from a TWRP backup or nand dump and flash it back to the device with ADB. Download this package and read the commands in ainol_flash_img.bat and adjust them to you file path and what images you want to flash. Looking at the commands you can see that you would place the recovery.img in the "img" folder.

If you mean by "phones off" that you need 3G, read the original post, find the link to the patch zip that turns it back on. As for being sad about your modifications, there are warnings in the original post and through-out this thread as well as plenty of references to the fact that Karbonn has not released their official stock firmware and there is not way to get your device back to 100% stock because of that.

As we all know how poorly tweaked the Stock Rom is I have found the way to make it totally lagfree.I have just tweaked a little to make it lagfree with HD games specially. I have tested it thoroughly and the results are really interesting. I could play Dead Trigger on High graphics settings without a single jerk. Earlier Dead Trigger lagged badly on high settings. So do you guys even want the tweak?? If it's yes only then will I publish it.

unrooting method

Unrooting the karbonn smart tab 8

Download a root file manager app to your phone, such as Root Explorer.

Open Root Explorer and mount /system as read-write via the “Mount R/W” button.

Delete the following files:

/system/app/Superuser.apk

/system/bin/su

/system/xbin/su

Power button issue With Karbonn ST8

Hai friends,

I am also facing the same issue, the screen won*t turn on by pressing power button or combination of volume+power buttons.

After resetting the tab from back side Reset hole only power and Screen is getting on. Every thing is working fine, only this is the problem I am facing.

I have rooted my Tab recently. Before Rooting also I have faced the same problem .

please kindly give solutions for this problem
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
Check the recovery.fstab and try corecting the mount points there. Good luck. And I'll send you the boot.img and recovery.img of Smart Tab 10 too. Make one for that too.
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
You have to edit the BoardConfig.mk accordingly. Don't forget to run 'make clobber' command.

Stuck on boot screen after I tried to isntall chainfire3d.

I made a mistake:( installed chainfire 3d in my Karbon ST8. I tried doing factory reset and wipe cache, but doesn't work.

Is there a way to flash it with some flashable zip or custom rom. I'm quiet noob please help me out with this.
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
There is no way till now. I am trying to make a flashable stock ROM but it is for ST10. If someone can make a ROM Dump of ST8 I might give it a try..

Follow this thread and dump the ROM of ST8 and ST10 if you guys want a flashable Stock ROM.

I have dumped my ROM for ST10 but if I make a flashable zip from that you guys won't be able to use dongles because I have messed up the two apk's required for using dongles.

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

Recovery.fstab is same as in stock recovery ! I'll take a look at boardconfig.mk though.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
@ mohanjackie - Whether or not they would accept it would depend on your country, the company you bought it from and the service center.

@ nij.haan - In my experience the Bravia Engine makes absolutely no difference. I had two of the exact same Ainol Crystal's with the same screen and loaded the Bravia Engine on one of them. I then compared the screens side by side with a variety of pictures and videos. Not sure about xloud, I haven't tried that. I'd suggest not messing with those types of mods though because if you brick your tablet bad enough there is still no way to unbrick it.

my karbon st 8 is going in dee sleep regularly, I installed custom ROM 1.3 by wiping ROM and factory settings. I installed all apps using ultimate backup pro ( apps+data). is there any solution.

@fuser-invent is there a fastboot mode in karbonn ST10 Tablet and if so how can i boot into it i have tried a lot of ways but to no avil :p
[Android General] Ozadroid:
Custom recoveries allow you to backup your current rom and if something goes wrong you can restore the backup and you are good to go again
[Android General] fuser-invent:
@ sahil555 - Since you are still on the stock recovery can you please test the TWRP file I posted a page back. It won't overwrite the stock recovery. If it works you will be able to use TWRP without needing to replace the stock recovery and just remove the TWRP file from your SD card when you want to use the stock recovery.

@ anandisrocking007 - I'm pretty sure fastboot is an ADB thing, so you should be able to use fastboot in the TWRP recovery.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
I understand that but any idea how to get there as I tried various key combination that read in other post such as pressing both the volume and the power switches at the same time and also pressing the menu and volume switch down etc etc any idea how to get there I have not yet tried this windows software but it seems that it helps to boot into fastboot its called Universal Android AIO Flasher Tool and the links is given below

:confused:
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Last time I used it you just had to be in a recovery that supports ADB, so if it works for your tablet then you just boot into TWRP and you are good to go. The stock recovery only has ADB sideload and not real ADB, so that won't work.
[Android General] handy5876:
@fuser-invent

Afaik Fastboot protocol is a boot loader mode for unlocking bootloader and flashing IMG files through USB from computer. There are so many more options like upgrade, enginnering commands etc. It requires the supporting fast boot binary available in android SDK. It has got nothing to do with ROM or recovery and conversely adb.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
So any idea how to boot into it in st10 I know how to use it and what command to use to flash like that so how do you get to that mode or is it so that st10 does not have any fast boot would be very great full if you answer this:fingers-crossed:
[Android General] handy5876:
I think only nexus and HTC devices support fastboot. Definitely not karbonn. Samsung I think they use Odin. Its a mess.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
No Hope

So i guess there is no way to flash from computer in carbon!!:confused:

[Android General] fuser-invent:
So I finally got a report from someone who said that you can just put the TWRP recovery image on the external SD card instead of overwriting your recovery partition! Please do this instead of flashing it for now.

People with bricked devices. Test this out and tell me if you can boot into TWRP. It depends on how bad you've bricked the tablet but if any of you have a soft brick and can boot into TWRP then I can probably make an unbricking SD card method for you. I've been waiting to hear from someone with a bricked tablet, so report back soon.

Question before flashing custom rom

I want to know if i can revert to my stock recovery after flashing the TWRP from zip file since i have warranty in my ST8 and this will void it. So can i revert my tab to the original state with stock recovery even flashing TWRP in case something goes wrong.
[Android General] ravi_buz:
I was reading through the pages and noted a wi-fi problem. Sorry but could not read all the pages to see if it was solved, so i am asking it here.

1. Even if you make the wifi always on. The switches off when the screen goes off. Wifi-on when charging option still works.

2. when the screen switches off and after a brief span of inactivity the tab does not respond and have to be restarted. Do you guys have the same issues?

Also i am going to try custom Rom v1.3. Any suggestions/comments about it?
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
Yes you can do that there are two ways

1) use the apps such as orange backup or online nandroid backup to create a TWRP backup of the recovery partition before flashing into the TWRP recovery such that we can use the backup to flash back to stock recovery

2)Use the android partition manager to create a recovery.img of the recovery partition and then when you want stock recovery back use android partition manager to flash it back.

If this helps please press thanks:fingers-crossed:

Hi fusar

Is there any way to use ad-hoc type wi-fi network in this tab (st 8)

And any solution for the hard crashing of small games like subway surfers .

Thanks
[Android General] fuser-invent:
ADB and Fastboot come in the sdk package, I'm aware they use separate binaries. If your bootloader allows fastboot then "adb reboot bootloader -> fastboot devices -> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flash a recovery.img. Unless you use an app to reboot into the bootloader or have an extended power menu that allows it, then you need to use ADB and use the command "adb reboot bootloader." I honestly have no idea if the Karbonn supports fastboot but I would guess that it doesn't because my Ainol tablets don't.

If it doesn't support Fastboot then download this file (which I already posted BTW), place the image files you want to flash to your tablet in the "img" folder and use the following commands depending on what you want to do.

adb push C:\adb\img\flash_image /cache

adb push C:\adb\img\recovery.img /cache
adb push C:\adb\img\boot.img /cache
adb push C:\adb\img\bootloader.img /cache

adb shell flash_image bootloader /cache/bootloader.img
adb shell flash_image boot /cache/boot.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /cache/recovery.img

You need the correct file path, so if you aren't using "C:/adb" then change it accordingly

-----

@ masood939 - RE: your deep sleep issue. Re-flash the ROM again and don't install data along with the apps.

@ anandisrocking007 - You can flash images with the above method and flash update.zip with adb sideload (a lot easier) or grab the update-binary out of your META-INF folder and use these commands, replacing "update.zip" with the name of your firmware package:

adb push update.zip /tmp
adb push update-binary /tmp
adb shell chmod 775 /tmp/update-binary
adb shell /tmp/update-binary 3 stdout /tmp/update.zip

@ sudersanmurthy - As already reported there will be no work around for keeping wifi on during sleep. Use the Wake Lock app if you want to do that.

@ prashanthmf - Closing all notifications should work fine. If the button is there (which it should be) try to change the way you are pressing it. Use the flat part of your finger and not your finger tip, it worked for me and other people have reported it works for them too. Poor quality screens and display drivers seem to make buttons like this difficult to use.

@ anindyam1272 - Try PPP Widget for your 3G dongle issues.

@ mohanjackie - Install the Custom ROM with the gapps package and then download gmail from google play or use the UBIFS Gapps Package put together by Christian Troy and flash it in TWRP.

@ mesarvagya - You can revert to the stock recovery with the ADB commands and package I provided.

@ st10user - Try this to see if you can get ADB online:

adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices

@ kartikeyadhh - Let the developer know they can contact me by PM if they need help unbricking your tablet.

@ gaurav bishla - I think someone would have to built a wpa supplicant that supports ad-hoc. That's not something that I do.

[Android General] st10user:
What is OP? Which commands i need to flash through twrp terminal commands.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
OP = Original Post (the first post in the thread)

You don't flash through TWRP terminal commands. You hit the button that says "Install" choose your zip file, swipe the button that shows up to the right and the installation process starts. With these tablets its safer to then hit the "wipe dalvik/cache" button and then flash the ROM and hit the "wipe dalvik/cache" button again. Sometimes it doesn't stick the first time and you have to go back and do it again, so you might as well do it twice for your first flash.

[Android General] st10user:
@kskhh

Brother i uploaded my flashing video here

@fuser-invent

I installed correct version of twrp for st10. I followed your methods but still stuck with twrp boot loop. Help me

@ravi_buz

Did you installed st8 rom for st10?
[Android General] fuser-invent:
@ ravi_buz - I don't know what the max allowable on your tablet is but this CPU is often underclocked to 1.2ghz or 1.3ghz even though it is advertised as 1.5ghz. With my other tablets, one of the 7" ones can't be clocked over 1.2ghz, if you try then one of the two CPU's will shut off and won't turn back on without a reboot. The other 7" tab and the 10" tab can be clocked to 1.3ghz safely but anything above that and the tablets get way too hot to be safe. I removed the CPU clocking scripts from the Custom ROM for v1.3, so the 1.2ghz clock is what your tablets manufacturer set for your tablet. I'll be adding the scripts back in for v1.4 and clocking it at your stock speed, you can experiment to see if you can go higher once those scripts are back in if you want but I suggest that you don't because you right wrecking your CPU.

karbonn_st10_factoryreset.zip

They re-write the boot / bootloader / recovery partitions with the images from the stock firmware dumps.
