i want to sell my karbonn a12+.. its under warranty..

since it is out of stock and not gonna come in stock for a few mnths i think

anyone willing to buy it may contact me

80 90 25 66 85

above is my no and i live in lucknow

and i will also provide full support for the phone(better than service centre)

it is currently running LEWA OS and a boot logo of stark industries and google nexus bootanimation

a superb combination...

Oh i forgot to tell ya, if the buyer wants i can restore it to original factory condiion (but you wouldn't like it i bet )

i wanted to sell it in 4500 but i think i owe a lot to XDA and users of XDA will get it in exact sum of 4K :laugh:

I don't think the genuine battery will be available. Hit a few local stores, and see if you can find a decent one that fits your phone.

Hard Brick is defined as that situation when your phone doesn't even shows the boot logo and can't go into download mode or recovery mode. Hard Bricked are pretty rare unless you mess with your phone too seriously, like flashing a kernel not meant for it. (Sorry for making it sound like a typical definition :P)

If it is soft bricked then you can boot into clockworkmod recovery and easily restore a backup to unbrick your phone.

[Updated with original boot logo] Xperia Boot logo for Karbonn A12+

Hi friends.

this is my very first post in XDA and thankyou all for precious support you all have given me.

now lets get to the main point of this post (apologies to droidiser if i posted something in his thread without his permission)

all the owners of Karbonn A12+ are aware that it does resembles somewhat to Sony Xperia

so why not just make the boot logo of sony xperia ?? right guys (nd gals)

i have successfully made the Boot Logo and i am using it from two days without any problem, still don't blame me for bricking your device.

although it certainly will work for you and would not brick your device.

Here comes the logo and some screenshots of it.

Update.zip View attachment update.zip

Base Logo.zip View attachment boot_logo.zip

Original Boot Logo files

Original Update.zip View attachment 2515418

Original Base Logo.zipView attachment 2515417

As simple as that.

I will be very happy if you like my first work and contribution to the forum. :):):)

beats audio mods are of No use

well buddy a sad news for all of us(karbonn a12+ owners)

but i tried and installed beats audio mod and even after porting the mod for our phone the results were not satisfactory...

i guess the hardware issues are there. and we will have to stay like this treble sound music :(

untill some1 flash a light in this regard
[Android General] bobinx:

i dont think the audio problem is all software related(ie something we can fix)..but we cant expect too much from a budget device :eek:

have you tested the backup? cuz if it doesnt, not only i will have f***ked up system partition, also recovery will be custom (thus hard to claim warranty)

fishy

Why is it that karbon a12+ is listed and available only in flipkart :confused: it is not even listed on karbonn website,the local dealers and the karbonn service centre guys are unaware of the existance of such a device..so no accessories,no spare parts for repair..and no support from karbonn?? :eek: :confused:

any good explanation?

Thats the situation i am in too. The Service center is bafled and karbonn a12+ is not even in their own database.

while flashing custom recovery from fastboot mode i am getting this error... partition recovery not support flash.

[Android General] droidiser:
Hi there,

Download MTKDroid root tool (google it)

In the root, backup, recovery tab, click choose boot.img and recovery.img (or some option like that)

If it asks for boot.img, select cancel, then it would ask for recovery.img file, locate the cwm img file.

When it asks, flash it.

Sorry for being short, but I am pretty low on time as well as on data.
[Android General] droidiser:
Hi chukzde, welcome to xda. I started this thread, taht doesn't mean you will have to ask permission from posting something given you are not spamming/trolling. :P

Thanks for your valuable contributions to the Karbonn A12+ community. Btw, is the backup that you have uploaded needs to be extracted in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup or is it directly flashable? I was thinking about doing a guide, don't want to download the 250 MB odd file just to know that.
[Android General] abhifx:
But that would require phone fully booted up which is not happening. Any other method to flash recovery?
[Android General] abhifx:

so i just uploaded the system backup.... and also someone asked in the thread about the backup that its working or not.... so my friend the system backup is not yet tested by me but you can always install flashable backups from sdcard(external) so either you can install it or

wait till night i will be checking it tonight.... ;);)

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

Use fastboot method as i have already told you bro.... trust me if you have rooted your device then warranty is already void, so install cwm and kust never ever install boot.img and you'll be fine....

even if the system is busted i mean system partition ... you can copy a new flashable system.zip file in the external sdcard and unbrick your device...

droidiser, correct me if i'm wrong...

it is flashable via cwm just copy it to any sdcard and then open the phone in recovery mode i guess you already have cwm installed as you flashed a custom rom right??? :cool:

remember to do the factory reset via cwm before installing this zip file or else things may not work as expected. :p

some lessons learned today.... 1. the custom rom vishal flashed can boot up so it may be possible to port it for our device.

eh forgot to ask, vishal where did you get that custom rom from ???
