So nobody here has bricked their Smart Tab 10?? This Flashable Stock ROM can fix your issue. Please comment here so that I can send you the ROM.
[Android General] Ozadroid:
downloading.. will have look at it!
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
Ya go on. And if possible after modifying the existing updater-script and with your ROM Dump you might be able to make the Flashable Stock ROM for Smart Tab 8.
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Okay, I'm checking here. I'm ankitdaruler's friend who does the Ainol Crystal and Hero development. Did anyone have any luck with the first test zip? It's only for people who didn't try and flash a custom ROM that has replaced their boot.img.

Also, how badly have people bricked their tablets? Did anyone try flashing a ROM that replaced their boot.img? Is there anyone that can't even get into the stock recovery?

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

I tried flashing Ainol Novo Hero 10 rom, it replaced my boot image. So tablet was stuck on white blank screen. But now its with the service centre for the past 20 days.

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

I have random reboots....

A pink line on the tablet
[Android General] fuser-invent:
With the stock ROM or with the package I put together?

Here is the latest version.

Regular warnings apply, this is a totally untested package, if your tablet runs fine you probably don't want to test until someone else does. If you have a soft bricked tablet because you messed with something in the system folder, then you should test this and report back. If you have a hard bricked tablet because you flashed another ROM and replaced your boot.img, this won't work for you.
[Android General] razer1224:
Re: Karbonn Smart Tab 8 & 10 Rooting and Memory Swapping(Lag-free Tweak)

By default not the package
[Android General] AnkitChowdhury:
No I think razer meant that he had those problems with the Stock ROM itself and he too has sent it to the Service Centre most probably..

Anyway thank you so much for making the Flashable Stock ROM. It can lead to a series of development for this Tab. But it seems there aren't any testers available...:(.. People you have to volunteer it for the first time. Otherwise nothing can ever be developed.
[Android General] fizzy177:
actually i was not in a mood for developing any sort of rom or recovery but i was annoyed by the tab's interface so i just made a working twrp to get rid of all bolt-wares and forces tablet ui for the tablet as no actual development can be done on this devices as their manufactures have not released a kernel source yet :( . So basically i just made a mood from existing device to get a twrp working.

Can this new v2 be applied on v1 st8. Having custom rom 1.2 but still feel lot of problems. Specially with poor wifi reception and touch insensitiveness towards edges.

Does this new v2 has any improvement in above problems?
[Android General] fuser-invent:
You can not flash v2 to v1 tablet or v1 to v2 tablet or you will brick your device. There are too many changes in hardware and the kernel is different.

TWRP touch not working, Not getting rooted via stock recovery

Hi fuser,

I got a problem my new ST8, untouched stock rom and kernel. I tried to root it by the method from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36867952

But it didn't get rooted. No su in /system/xbin or /system/bin and no superuser app.

Thought, it's the bug with stock recovery. So installed TWRP. TWRP installed!!! But touch didn't work and volume key navigation too not working. Dammit, Got Stuck!!!

Flash via adb as u said is not working too.

All i need now is stock recovery or TWRP in working condition with root. Don't wanna flash other rom or kernel. Wat shall i do now?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply and files rifad. But my problem is, in TWRP, touch is not working.

So recovery's literally dead and the device is not rooted.

Is there any way(method) that i can flash the stock recovery? so that i can root from stock recovery...

I need alternate flashing method. Thanks :)
[Android General] rifad20:
U have to flash it via adb...i dont know the method...but u can goooogle it...
[Android General] senthilvigneshkumar:

[Android General] fizzy177:
Use the methood flash_image search it on how to install "flash_image" module .

just like this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902493

its not that hard to google it ;)
[Android General] senthilvigneshkumar:
Thanks fizzy. But my tab is not rooted yet to use that method.

Now my condition is not rooted and useless recovery.

(TWRP touch is not working as my tab is v2, flashed it before knowing my tab is v2 :mad:).

Not rooted, cannot flash recovery via this method <=> recovery is not working, so cannot root.

There are only 2 solutions for my problem.

1. Root via some other method which doesn't need recovery. Then install recovery via the method u have mentioned (actually i have tried that method a day before, not working without root permission).

2. Install stock recovery via some other method which doesn't need root or recovery. Then root.

So i need anyone of these methods. If u know anyone of the method, please do point out.

Thanks :)

fuser-invent i am having a slight problem with your ST-10 Custom ROM 1.5 it seams to have the following bugs embedded in it please help they are serious-

1) Most of the time when i attach my pendrive to the tablet the mounting notification comes but when i go to any file explorer the pendrive is not shown neither is the location /storage/sdcard1 shown until i restart my tablet then even if i remove my pendrive the location /storage/sdcard1 remains until i restart my tablet though there is nothing inside

2) The second bug is that when i copy my files to the pendrive the files get copied normally and it works normally that is until you remove the pendrive from the tablet then if you reconnect the pendrive to the tablet or to any computer you will see that the file which i had copied is of 0 byte i mean where does all the data go o yea and when copying larger files above 1gb it gets copied whithin 3 second is it creating shortcuts or something i have tries copying with es explorer,fx explorer,root browser but to no avail this is really a troublesome problem

3) The time is always 2hrs and 30 minutes ahead of time

Fuser-invent this Custom ROM is really really good and fast but the second bug is really really a problem i beg you to fix it please it neally is unusable because of the second bug this bug is of 1.5 because when i reverted back to 1.2 Plus it worked really very nicely

Please fix it........:crying:

If that doesn't work then search through the Crystal Clear thread. There has only been one other person with a similar problem and it was solved, I just don't remember if it was removing the above scripts or if it was something else.

[Android General] fuser-invent:
I just checked the change log on the first page and for v2.0 of the ROM it says "Fixed some things that were causing transfers of large files to fail between the device and the computer as well as the external and internal sd card." So it would be towards the end of the thread. I would suggest using the "search this thread" field at the top of the page and try a bunch of different keywords like "transfer" or "copying." That might help narrow it down.

TWRP and Recovery problem

Hi,

I have flashed TWRP before rooting or doing factory reset, etc on my Karbonn Smart tab 8.

Now the TWRP touch is not working. i.e. I can open recovery but not able to do a any action.

Actually, I love TWRP. I use the same recovery on my phone. May be I am facing this, As I have flashed it before rooting the device.

I have tried ADB and Fastboot though PC. but ADB is detected and Fastboot is not detecting. May be because of TWRP touch.

Even factory rest from settings menu also not working.

Please help with...

* Restore Stock recovery.

OR * TWRP tweeks

OR * Any APP to replace compatible recovery

Thanks!

Sorry the ac3 codex is not supported in android i have searched it everywhere according to one post i have read somewhere the ac3 audio codex is not free like mp3 and google decided not to buy it you will find this audio support not present in any android phone but fear not there is only 1 player in the entire android market that can play ac3 it is VLC for android the only problem is that VLC for android can not play any HD vedio that is above 4GB well you have to wait for a few months more i guess since it is in beta and they are saying that they would put HD Support when the beta is gone

Everyone check out this new app that i have found it is called FolderMount [ROOT] since to play big games you need a lot of space but ST-10 and ST-8 gives only 1.5GB of internal storage space so the option is to mess with the vold.stab file and flip internal storage for external storage the main problem is that the useless junkfiles of every app starts to clutter the external SD card and thus your files become disorganised

FolderMount [ROOT] creates a link from the android/obb(Where the big game data file is kept)/com.xxxx.org to any folder that you choose in the external SD card thus only that file is transfered and you can still play the game

Notes-After the game is transfered dont forget to press the pin icon in the such that it becomes green

Try it its awesome.........

[Android General] fuser-invent:
No clue, I don't think I've ever seen that button on another Android device. I've seen the down arrow before and it was for closing the keyboard. If it has anything to do with that bar of apps, it might be indicating the expansion of a folder or something.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
This button is in the following link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol&hl=en

I think its present in the most of the samsung phones

And also one more thing can a nandroid backup of one ST-10 be used for the restore of another ST-10 that is both the ST-10 are of version 1????:confused:

Searched for this question a lot but could not find any answer

If not is there a way to create a flashable zip to transfer the ST-10 app settings data such as the location of the icon in the homescreen or so ????:confused:
[Android General] fuser-invent:
Maybe someone else that has used a Samsung Device can answer you're question. You could post in one of the Samsung subforums on XDA to ask.

You can restore a TWRP ST10 backup to any ST10 device that is the same version as yours. So even if someone in the U.S. were to make a backup and send it to you, you could then use TWRP to restore that backup on your device.

There are plenty of other backup options besides TWRP but that is the easiest and most effective. If you want to go app based you can check out the most popular backup app called Titanium Backup.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
Actually i was thinking of making a ROM with apps data still stored in it that's all since almost all of the ROM i have seen has no app data so i am just asking is it possible or not they have apps that is stored in the data partition and when clicked on the it starts a fresh with default setting and not mine ????

:confused:
[Android General] fuser-invent:
I'm not really understanding you. If you want to make a custom ROM with apps AND app data, from your device I'm guessing, just put the apps and the data in the folders they are usually stored in. So /data/app/ for the apps and /data/data/ (I think) for the data. But what is confusing me is you then go on to say that you want people to open the apps and not get your data? In that case, just put the app .apk in /data/app/.
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
Sorry i wrote it confusingly what i meant was how to create ROM with app data still there o and one more thing i checked out that arrow button i had asked you it is an samsung default app launcher for floating apps such as floating calculator floating task manager etc and it is only specific for those phone and will not work in others thank you:p
[Android General] fuser-invent:
So yes, I think you could take the approach of just adding the app data to the correct folder in the ROM package. You would have to look up where data is stored, but I think it is /data/data/ folder.

ceived plialiP

Something similar happened to me, but I went ahead and flashed TWRP which was stupid of me, probably over confidence after messing around successfully with my Nexus 7, and two HTC phones. Mine does not have the 2 after the serial number and is running Android 4.1.1 . Now when I press the power and volume button to get into the menu, all I get is the backlight. However the Tablet boots normally and I've been using it. I can connect using adb when booted, however when connected to the tablet in bootloader mode (with the blank screen) it shows the device as offline. Wish there was some way of getting it into fastboot to flash the stock recovery back. I'd rather wait than take it to the service center...

Update: I typed sudo adb recovery from Linux and the tablet booted into TWRP :) So it looks like I just lost the boot menu!!
[Android General] anandisrocking007:
Karbonn does not have fastboot like htc sadly there might be a way theoretically but i claim no resposibility install android partition manager and then flash the recovery image that you can get from this forum if it works please post it telling me that and if possible press thanks .

Note-I guess if the recovery.img is in a flashable zip extract it and use the img

[QUOTE="anandisrocking007, post: 44670967, member: 5155371"]Karbonn does not have fastboot

Hi anandisrocking007,

My problem is getting root on the device. I've tried the Crystal root zip file, it installs successfully, but does not root. The TWRP that is installed was from this forum. TWRP seems to work okay, its just that I have to connect my tablet to my laptop and run the 'adb reboot recovery' command to get into recovery mode... If I have to take it to the service center, I might as well take the risk of flashing the ROM in this forum... all I want to do is to get rid of the bloatware...

TWRP on ver 2 ?

Hi Senthil,

Thanks for the reassurance, I had this sneaking doubt about my Tab being version 2, but it wasn't mentioned anywhere.. I did try flashing the ROM, it said everything was successful and then nothing changed on rebooting, I hoped as much. Yes, Touch does work, no problems with it. However I've been having problems of the screen freezing off and on in TWRP after everything becoming unreadable and fuzzy as if the display was being operated at a wrong frequency. It sometimes happened at the red Karbonn splash screen, could be a defect in mine. Its never happened after Android loads though... Guess we'll have to wait. Thanks a ton!

SetCpu Frequency

By applying custom frequency like 48 to 1.5k, it drains battery faster than usual, by leaving tab idle also battery drains fast. Any guess why does it happen like that.

[Android General] fuser-invent:
I've never done it but the official android development tools have computer based testing. You could try it out but I don't think it would work for what you are trying to do. If it was me, the first thing I'd try and do is see if those XML files are located anywhere in the flashed ROMs and can be replaced with a root browser. If it can't then you would have to decompile, mod and recompile the framework-res. Read all the XML code while you are testing because you might end up figuring out what it all means and be able to imagine what the code would do rather than having to flash it to the device to see it.
