[General Questions and Answers] vivek.krishnan:
I too finally hit on the same idea - flash cwm and then root - since by going into download mode I was not able to modify the files.

Thanks mate.

Edit - there is an autobak parition of about 1GB - is it possible to remove that and join with sdcard partition? since we already have shortage of sd card space.

Edit 2 : This is the lonk for the place I got drivers and other stuff - Yulong site : www.yulong.com/product/download/dow...nfoBO.downloadInfo.mobileType=7268#downListUL

I have made the newest ROM link into torrent since I was getting too little speeds as a webseed - http://burnbit.com/torrent/262996/20130629165410699_2_zip

The ROM is in CPB format - I dont know how to open it. If anyone wants to me to upload the same file to G drive - will do the same.
[General Questions and Answers] Free Radical:
You are on the correct path mate.

The cwm recovery.cpb for coolpad 7268 is working for the Mi-496 proving that this is indeed a clone of the same device.

Don't flash the entire rom. Wait a while and I shall post the exact cpb files, flash tool and recovery.cpb I have used. There is also a mini-root.cpb which I will flash after taking a rom backup and report back here, Lets make a new all things root thread for the Mi-496 ;)
[General Questions and Answers] vivek.krishnan:
Thats fine with me. I too would like to know how to use the CPB files - the yulong software that I downloaded was showing up some weird chinese error and just fc'd on me.

This is how I took backup of the phone.

I took a 4GB or bigger USB drive (I used a 8GB drive). All the data on this drive will get deleted.

Then, install Minitool Partition Home Edition. Plug in the USB drive.

Next - switch off the phone. Keeping the volume up button pressed, plug in the microUSB cable to the phone. The phone will go into the pseudo download mode.

Now, you will get a Coolpad/Yulong 7268 disk drive in your device manager. Also, if you open disk managment, you will see a 3.61 GB partition which is "uninitiated" - I did not initialize it.

Next open Minitool Partition software - select the wizard option. Then you will see several disks Disk 1, Disk 2 and so on. The Coolpad USB disk will have lots of small partitions. Right click on Disk # (where # is the disk number) and right click - copy. A new Copy Wizard will come up and there, select the USB drive which you have inserted in USB port. Next, it will ask whether to adjust the partition size - select option 2 - keep the size same.

Now it will start copying, once finished, you have a soft copy of the phone. This may not be useful always, though.

TO make the img files, I booted into Ubuntu and then gave command

"dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=sdc1" Replace sdc with sdX where X is the USB drive mount. Then, replace 1 by 2 uptill 23. This created all imgs in home directory of Ubuntu - I moved them to a different location.

EDIT : For those who want a flip cover for temporary - buy a Karbon A6 flip cover or silicon cover - it will be a decent fit. You will need to cut out the holes for USB, headphone and speaker grille. Got one for INR 150 yesterday.

By the way, is it have, sms bugs, I cannot receive any mail from banking alert.

Thank you guys for the awesome work. I am not really helpful at software side but will be tested as soon.
[General Questions and Answers] Free Radical:
Probably due to the crap preloaded on the device. Shall post a cwm flashable rooted stock rom later. Trying to get MIUI to boot.

Not that bad a device considering HTC Desire 600 which has the same SoC sells for 26k which is almost 5 times the price you are getting this for.

Now the problem is that, the phone starts up, i can see the new boot logo all over the screen forever, i get calls, texts etc but all i can see is the custom boot image and nothing else, but the operating system runs in the back ground, i can got to the home screen menu. And to increase my problem, the usb debugging was disabled. Now i donno what to do. I tried to factory reset the mobile but no use. i cant install the custom recovery coz the usb debuggin was disabled and ADB device not recognised. Any intellectuals out there who can help.........

Ask free radical for help may b he cn help you......
[General Questions and Answers] Free Radical:
Can't help in this. The cpb image only modifies the usual system, data, cache and recovery partitions.

A backup image of the entire disk would have helped.

vivek.krishnan had linked to a procedure using hdd raw copy:

Kamal's Note: Full ROM Backup HandHeld Android | Antisipasi Brick

Tutorial Unbrick Smartfren Andromax U LE | hanivinside.NET

I have not experimented with messing with the partition layout at it risks a permabrick but I can understand the appeal to increase disk space :P

I think a visit to the service center would be more realistic for you instead of expecting someone to upload a huge disk image backup which includes their imei details.
[General Questions and Answers] ishan bhanot:
I guess they cant findout that the device is rooted or not.... so take it to the service centre and ask them y its happening to the fone :p
[General Questions and Answers] hdp9star:
Ishan you sure about that, :(:confused:

And Amol it is better to visit their service center, and please do post back, what they said about root of device.

And I completely agree with free radical

Better not to touch partition. Its easy for window but might be messy with android.

Your phone's warranty expires when u root your fone buddy... so if they find out that the fone is rooted they will charge to fix the fone...... do u have stock recovery or chinese recovery ?

[General Questions and Answers] ishan bhanot:
I think the only wayby which they cn find out is recovery mode... is it working on your fone?

Hey Ishan,

I jumped in because I was so curious to know about the discovery of rooted device by their service center, if you had ask me then my device is in good shape. I believe it is for Amol, right?

[General Questions and Answers] hdp9star:
That's came up my mind when I was looking for some cover. Now screen size of karbonn A6 is 4 inch, but might be possible that, overall size of two phones are the same.

So its better to go and check local vendor if they had any.

Meanwhile I bought leather pouch, but do not like much. I believe the rings for magnetic lock, leaves scratch on the screen, so if willing to buy that, install good screen guard first.

Sorry, been too busy, very less time spent [MENTION=1954039]mumbai[/MENTION], so did not have time to go to the vendor. However, I looked up the specs of both the phones

Dimensions

Karbonn A6 : 128 x 65.7 x 11.6 mm from GSMArena

Spice Mi 496 : 127.5x66.5x10.5 mm from PhoneArena

I believe the vendor was right. Please note that you would need to make some new cutouts ;)

I would appreciate if someone could double check the same.

Anyone wants to meet me - am in Delhi for some time this week. However, I will not have the Spice, sorry.

[General Questions and Answers] hdp9star:
Which ROM do you use? The updated v8 solved the SMS bugs, that what I have use.

now you have to disable stock messaging apps to receive sms directly via hangouts. I remembered while using stock ROM, I could not disabled it, so First I did backed up messaging app via titanium backup, in case if it needed later, then uninstall it. By this, I got SMS from banks.

Hope this help.
