Procedure given below:
1. First of all, you need Drivers For your symphony W25 (Smphony.W25/Karbonn.A7/Mobistar.S01/Ktouch.W650 All are the same phone)
Driver for winXP
Get them here (uploaded by prasad12ka4) Or Here uploaded by rainwalker
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Drivers for Win 7 / Win 8
Get them here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
64-Bit Win 7 Drivers
Get them here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install them while connecting your phone on "USB debugging mode", and going to "device manager > other devices" on your pc. After installation disconnect the phone.
(I believe some of you are having problems installing the drivers. I recommend you install the drivers on a freshly installed winXP pc. I faced a lot of trouble doing it on my Win8 pc)
2. Download Android software development kit (SDK) from Here and install in pc. Default installation Directory should be C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk
3. Android SDK may need Java development kit (JDK) installed in pc. If you need jdk, go here or go to their Website to download
3. Download Fastboot From Android Central and keep it inside
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder
4. Download Clockwork Mod Recovery for w25 from Link #1 or Link #2, unzip and copy to the same folder. replace duplicate (if prompted).
5 hook your phone up with pc in USB debugging mode and go to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder, Press Shift+right click inside that folder and select "open cmd window here". It opens a cmd window for that folder.
In the cmd window, type
Code:
adb devices
If the driver installations are correct, you'll see your device connected as w650 (as symphony is re-branded from k-touch w650)
6. Disconnect phone from pc and reboot it into the bootloader, by turning it off and holding [vol-up]+[power]
Till screen turns green and says fastboot:recovery ?, Like below
7. Plug your phone into your computer. On cmd window, type:
Code:
fastboot devices
Reply should be "???????????? fastboot" Meanng fastboot detected the device.
8. In the cmd line, type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-english.img
And that's it. You'll have booted into the custom recovery (cwmr), and from there you can do a full backup, or restore a backup, or wipe the phone. Use vol up/down to navigate through screen and Power to select an item.
9. Use CWMr to backup your ROM. (It will be saved in: "SD card/clockwork mod/backup" on phone.) and reboot. Copy the backup into pc for further use.
Step 8 was to make sure cwmr works on the phone. It's a temporary port of cwmr on your device.
if problem occurs (less likely to occur), let us know in a comment and don't proceed further.
Otherwise, Proceed below for permanent port..
10. Repeat step 6 and 7. Go to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder and click on recovery.bat file. Click on it and in the next window, Press any key
Permanent port will be completed
reboot phone if not rebooted automatically.
11. To check cwmr, Repeat step 6 but keep pressing the two buttons even if the screen turns green (fastboot). Continue until.....
screen is red (recovery). after that you'll see Clockwork mod recovery page.
You'll need it to restore your original rom if you mess up anything.
12 In CWMr,
a)]Go to Advanced
b) Choose "Wipe dalvik-cache"
c) Now go to "Mounts & Storage"
d) Choose "Format /cache"
e) Shutdown your phone
13. Download and unzip bootrepack from this post (by jason_cheng). Copy the "boot.img" file from "rootrepack" folder and paste to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder
14. Repeat steps 6 & 7 (green screen)
15. In cmd window type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and
Code:
fastboot reboot
see image below if you have any confusion.
16. After the phone is restarted, type in cmd window:
Code:
adb shell id
which should result "uid=0(root) gid=0(root)"
Rooting is now Unofficially completed
17. To verify, Type each line in cmd window, and press enter
Code:
adb shell
Code:
echo "1" > /system/pwned
Code:
cat /system/pwned
If the Reply to the last line is "1", Congrats ! you have root access to your phone!!
Now remove that test file you created just now. Type:
Code:
rm /system/pwned
What now?
18. Install "Superuser" from Play store
It does not come with su binary. For that, Go to this post and download only the attachment. Unzip it and put the files in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder.
19. Now open cmd window, type each line and enter.
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb push su /system/xbin/su
Code:
adb shell
Code:
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
now open superuser and check for su binary. I don't recommend su update.
20. Install "Busybox free" from Play store (optional)
Rooting Officially Complete.

Hi,
Karbonn A7 ICS. Now you can use search key of your A7 as power key.
Follow the procedure...
1. Download 7x27a_kp.kl.zip file and extract it.
2. Open terminal/Command prompt.
3. Connect your phone to PC via USB.
4. Run following commands.
c:/> adb devices
c:/> adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/7x27a_kp.kl
now copy this file on a safe place. So that if anything goes wrong you could be able to restore it.
now open folder where you have extracted the zip file. The extracted file will be of same name as "7x27a_kp.kl"
c:/> adb push <path to file 7x27a_kp.kl> /system/usr/keylayout/
Now reboot your phone. You will be able to use your search key as power key.

Change partition size on A7/W25
Part1:
Anil_Sharma said:
To begin with, you need a hex editor, HxD - Freeware Hex Editor is a great editor and it is very small(less than an MB). Then you need a baseband to edit, you need to locate the file named ' appsboot.mbn '.
That file contains the partition tables, remember this tutorial is about editing the partition tables not extending your physical memory.
So, lets get cracking. Open HxD from programs and open the appsboot.mbn file, now press F3 and search for ' cache ' and press F3 until you see something like this
.
As you can see the highlighted section of the picture
,
there are a few repetitions of ' F0 F0 F0 F0 xx ' multiple times, you are concerned with only the first two /system and /cache partitions respectively.
Remember, you don't need to specify the partition size for /data as it is done automatically when you flash the baseband.
Now back to the hex editing part, once you've decided how much space(in MBs only) you wanna allocate to /system and /cache use this link to Convert hex/dec and select the two digits after the F0 F0 F0 F0 like in this pic
and type the hex number for example in the screenshot B4 in hex equals 180 in decimal, which means /system is allocated 180 MB of space and do the same with Cache, I would recommend allocating 10 MB to it as you hardly ever use it. Then flash the baseband like you normally do through Fastboot.
If you have any doubts ask me and I will do my best to clear things to you. Click Thanks if I helped you, doesn't cost anything

vinodkbishnoi said:
Hi,
I am attaching a file named "appsboot.mbn". This is used to determine partition size on android system.
There are two ways you could use it.
1. Replace appsboot.mbn file in any baseband update BP folder.
2. If you are handy with fastboot commands there is very simple method. Just boot your phone in fastboot mode (green screen mode) and use
following command....
C:\>fastboot flash APPSBL <path to appsboot.mbn>
And you are done.
You will find following changes.
1. Your partition size will be as shown in screenshot.
2. When you run command adb devices you will no more find S01 there, it will be A7

Your phone is the same with mobiistar s01 and karbonn a7, maybe the developer of symphony keep the original cpu clock(1ghz) and s01, a7 was underclocked to 800 to save battery. Now if you want to root.you must install fastboot driver and install cwm recovery for a7 first.then backup your current rom... when done, install rooted rom for s01 and you will have root, but your cpu will be underclocked to 800ghz.
And can you send me the link to download your backup rom??? I need the 1ghz kernel to mod my rom... thanks.
(If install drivers on w7 pc fail, try to use another pc with wXP-32bit).
These phones aren't - or shouldn't be - that difficult to root. I have just rooted an Xplorer W10 from W7 x64 (and reproduced on Linux), and it went without a hitch. Just a number of gotchas to watch out for (from here on I actually refer to W10 and all other models since they are of the same series):
1. Uninstall any kind of driver you have installed. Symphony does not provide drivers for their Android phones, as far as the website is concerned. You get what you pay for, and this is a relatively remote brand, so don't expect much. In fact, don't expect anything at all.
2. Download and run SuperOneClick. Click on the other tab and choose to check for drivers. You should be prompted to install a driver. Do it.
3. Unplug and replug the USB. Go into the ADB folder and shift-right-click, open a command prompt here. Type 'adb devices' and press ENTER. There should be at least one device listed (in the form of an alphanumeric serial).
4. If there is no device listed by ADB, use Linux to root. There is no need to install any driver on Linux, and SuperOneClick is multi-platform. You will need the mono package on Linux instead of .NET.
5. The phone is actually partially rooted. Whether by intention or by mistake, I am not sure. SuperOneClick will warn of this, so just choose to continue with the rooting process.
6. You should now be rooted.
Background:
There is no exotic bootloader locking going on with these phones, as far as I can tell. The manufacturers/vendors are really just trying to capture a certain segment of the market, so I doubt they'd go through extensive efforts to lock you in. Just find any exploit (right now psneuter and zergRush), put them on the phone along with the su and busybox binaries, execute the exploit, and you'll be good to go with the Superuser app.
ok ...

I've used SuperOneClick before. In both 7 and XP machines. It gets stuck at "step 7".
Ok i'll try to do it again following your steps. I'll upload the screenshots
thanks for helping btw ...
No use ....
Nope. It didn't work. Hangs at step 7 (Pic Attached). tried on XP and 7.
Drivers install this time. and cmd>adb shell shows attached device, just like you said. but nothing happens after step7: waiting for device
I guess this process in not for me
can you provide link or tell me the process on how to add cwm recovery and backup the stock rom from the phone?
So that I can upload for you guys to check it out.
Note: my phone goes to recovery mode using the same method described in Karbonn Mobile A5 & A7 (Android 2.3.6
I checked.

Unfortunately, CWMR needs to be built for your hardware in order for it to work. I think CWMR for the Karbonn should work without modification if it has the same hardware, so see if you can find info on getting CWMR onto the Karbonn. If the bootloader is really locked then you'll have to find some way to unlock first.
Backup the recovery partition [1] before doing anything, although I cannot verify whether it's the same partition across all phones. If anything goes wrong you will lose the ability to boot into recovery mode, but your phone will work. With a backup of the partition you can just bit-copy and rewrite the partition exactly as it was.
Because you already have the drivers installed using SuperOneClick, you may like to see now if Unlock Root works [2]. Else, go ahead and root the phone using the manual method. First, run the exploit [3]. Tell us how this goes, then we'll continue (basically upload the su binary and optionally the Superuser app). Otherwise we need to see what other exploit works.

Could you please also report back with some files after running the following commands (you will find them prefixed with w25_ from the folder you're running ADB):
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/cpuinfo > w25_cpuinfo.txt
adb shell getprop > w25_propinfo.txt
Thanks. I suspect the W25 does not have the Karbonn A7 hardware. If the Karbonn is a rebranded Mobilstar S01 then it has a Qualcomm ARMv7 processor. The Symphony phones (hypothesis based on the only one phone I have, that is a W10) are rebranded Tinno [1] phones, with MediaTek processors.
My W10 is ARMv6, so it depends on whether the W25 has an SoC based on the latest MTK proc (which is ARMv7) [2]. That is highly unlikely because it (the proc) would be too powerful for the model number. As you may or may not know, binaries are not portable across ARM cores.
The phones do indeed have the same chassis and general specs, but any attempt to port and/or copy files/ROMs must be taken with great care and precautionary steps. There is, of course, no rule that each model must depend on the same manufacturer, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Well, popular devices have more people tinkering with them and hence more results I suppose for budget devices we are on our own. After all, I believe these phones are pretty value for money and the effort to tinker is worth it.
Anyway, my suspicions are wrong. Symphony (or whoever they rely on) hand-pick reference models and do not depend on any particular vendor. The W25 is ARMv7 from Qualcomm, rebranded from K-Touch W650 [1] with modest hardware upgrades, almost similar to the Mobiistar and Karbonn:
Mobiistar Touch S01: Qualcomm MSM7225A
Symphony Xplorer W25: MSM7627A or MSM7625a (but because of 1GHz clock more likely the former) [2]
Either way the differences are minor I presume. Clock speeds are different and on-chip options vary slightly depending on what the manufacturer opts for. So with a bit of work someone could port existing recoveries and ROMs from similar devices. See [2] for a list of such devices in the respective row for MSM7627A.
You can worry about this when you come to recovery. The first hurdle to get through is root, so have you proceeded to run an exploit?
Also, if you haven't done anything, I would suggest doing a factory reset and then backing up the entire ROM simply with the cat command [3]. The homemade unsigned backup may come in handy later as there is no official ROM update.

Not sure how to use these commands. It says that the phone needs to be rooted to use these.
I'm trying to install clockworkmod.
meanwhile, If you have time, plz provide a simplified tutorial.
The zergrush in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296916 doesn't download btw
Sorry, yes, that needs root. You must do everything you can to get root on the phone, because whatever you do you must have a backup. For CWMR, you must back up your recovery partition, else if your CWMR image does not happen to be compatible with your device you risk losing recovery mode.
For MTK devices like the W10, there is a method for non-rooted phones to carry out the backup [1], but I'm not sure about Qualcomm. So in the end, root is unavoidable.
1. Just get zergrush binary from the SuperOneClick archive (it is in another folder along with psneuter).
2. Copy the zergrush binary to the ADB folder.
3. Open a cmd window in the ADB folder just as you would normally type adb commands, then:
Code:
adb push zergrush /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/zergrush
adb shell /data/local/tmp/zergrush
Report back with the output.

Hellions with blue flames !
See The attached pic
I have the same phone It's original model is ktouch w650
i evem tried to use update.zip method but it says sd storage not found
how do i know if my bootloder is unlocked or locked
tried unlock root with driver installed it says failed to aquire root access\
in adb shell it shows $ sign and if i try to get root acess it says acess denied
Oh boy, it looks like the vulnerability has been patched in your version of Android. Either that, or there is some hardware peculiarity (buffer size being reported wrongly - that's also when this zergrush error comes up) which I do not yet know how to deal with. There is another exploit called 'tacoroot' but I do not prefer going that route as it's not as foolproof/universal as zergrush.
Update zips need to be signed. When your recovery tries to verify the signature it fails, as it is not the signature of the manufacturer that made the update.zip.
Have you guys tried ALL the rooting methods posted in the A5/A7 thread? In the meantime I'll take a look at how Qualcomm ROMs can be dumped.
edit: I'm pretty sure your device has a fastboot mode. If so, you can "hot" boot any cwmr image without flashing it using "fastboot boot theimage.img" as far as I can recall. Having fastboot is a blessing (which the MTK devices do not have) so follow the first few pages of the A7 thread.
thanks
thanks for your hard work....
can you tell me how to acess fastboot?
and also when i press and hold vlo up and power button its displayes" Ap fastboot:recovery " and screen becomes green and then if i keep pressing it goes red into recovery mood
but if i let go at green screen it stays that way
and when i pressed vol down+ power key it said im black screen and yello text " ENTRY QPST DOWNLOAD "

Sorry, the W10 is my first ever experience with Android (I was looking for a cheap way to find out how the stuff works), and as it does not even have a bootloader mode I have no idea about fastboot. I have only been with this phone/Android for about a month, so there's still a lot more to learn.
But as far as I can tell "AP Fastboot" already implies that you are in fastboot mode. You need the fastboot drivers installed on your PC, and then when you are at the green screen the phone will accept fastboot commands. [1]
If you guys manage to do this, what I would suggest is hot-loading a Karbonn A7, Mobiistar S01 or any other potential compatible CWMR image, then immediately making a full ROM backup. You can then upload recovery.img and I'll see if I can port it, and after that boot.img so we can at least get you root adb shell if by then rooting is still a problem.
And btw, if it was not clear in my previous post, rooting using current "standard" methods is not going to work as the latest gingerbread vulnerability (which zergrush exploits and many of the tools use zergrush) has been patched since December 2011. Unfortunately, it looks like the build of 2.3.6 that the W25 has is from a period after that, so zergrush on the W25 is a no-go. If you want to try, just follow the adb steps above which was posted for ahmed.zunaid.

Hey,
someone sended me this rom, it can only be flashed on BROWN devices, testkey signed.
But i think it can be flashed like last leak, in recoveymode flash partition and boot
So here is it, have fun with it!
To use this ROM you need either a BROWN (PROTOTYPE/TESTING) or a UNLOCKED Device with CWM installed!
FTF: only for prototypes/brown devices

NO MIRRORS please!
CWM Method (prerooted + Advanced StockKernel from Doomlord included): [Update: Changed to "normal" update.zip]
Download this file:
Mirror 1: http://ul.to/lb0m55r2
Mirror 2: http://clz.to/i69mm7dd
NO MIRRORS PLEASE
Flash the "LT26i-6.2.B.0.200-update.zip" with the option "Install zip from sideload" or "Install zip from SD" and reboot - Done
First boot may take some time, if after 5 minutes phone is not boot up, then go to fastboot and flash the attached userdata.sin with fastboot (fastboot flash userdata userdata.sin).

Thanks, downloading now, please could someone give me detailed info on how to install this? Do I make a zip file from this FTF? Any things to do while in recovery?
I would suggest like this:
Use flashtool and extract the ext4 part from system.sin
then push system.ext4 to phone
in recovery shell do:
dd if=/path/to/system.sin of=/dev/block/insertblockdeviceofsystempartitionhere
after that reboot to fastboot and
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
then maybe also erase userdata from fastboot and cross your fingers
This is NOT a proper instruction to do this, only a first way i would start
Another way would be to mount the system.sin on your pc and create a proper update.zip from it =)
Regards
deleted
Question is, is it safe to do so.
I am chargin my Xperia S actually.
So worst case is that you would need to reflash a older firmware with flashtool

Thank you, but do not understand fully what is necessary ( a step by step guide would be helpful) and I am afraid of bricking my phone... Why use fastboot to push all files, and not use flashtool? and what is the second thing you do (in recovery shell do a...)

Hí!
I'm using original 55 ICS rom on my phone. The bootloader is locked.
Can I install this rom using flashtool?
Thx
petipetya
This is a simple guide to make a pre-rooted firmware and then use it.
What you need:
- A device with a rooted ICS and a recovery as well.
- A PC with flashtool installed.
- A Jelly Bean ftf.
- WinRAR or similar software.
- Patience.
What do you do:
Assuming you have enough requirements, lets begin!
0. In Case you haven't, flash stock ICS, root it and then install CWM.
How to make a prerooted zip
1. Open the JB ftf file with WinRAR.
2. Extract the system.sin file.
3. Open flashtool. Go to tools>sin editor and extract the [system.sin] file. You'll get an .ext4 file.
4. Extract the contents from the .ext4 file to a folder named system
using any of this. I prefer Linux Reader.
5. Add root to the folder. Download the attached root.rar file.
Copy the contents of SuperSU or Superuser to the folder you've made.
6. Create a zip file.
7. Copy the system folder into the zip file.
8. Download, extract and copy the attached META-INF.zip
9. Now you have a flashable prerooted zip.
0. Download prerooted firmware from the second post
or make one of your own by the guide above.
1. Copy the prerooted zip on your SDcard.
2. Now, boot into CWM on your device.
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache.
4. Go to mounts and storage and format system.
5. Now flash the zip but do not reboot.
6. On PC, go to flashtool and using flashmode select the JB ftf.
7. Check Exclude System (Put a tick mark on it).
8. Uncheck wipe data (ONLY IF YOU NEED IT)
9. Now flash it on your device.
10. Let it boot and now you have your rooted Jelly Bean fw!

Click to collapse
New Meta-INF uploaded!
Check out second post for a visual instruction (screenshots)
TO-DO
- Make a better tutorial with Pictures and Screenshots DONE
- Upload prerooted zip for
Xperia S : Done
Xperia SL : You can use the same as Xperia S as the kernel remains of your device, you'll get 1.7GHz
Xperia Ion : Pending due to release
Xperia Acro S : DONE

Can you flash other zips? Try reinstalling CWM.
Is the META-INF perfect? I haven't tried it yet.
error 7
I have tried this method to pre root the world generic ftf, after I have formatted system and try and install the pre root zip file it always ends in an error 7, have you got any tips on how to solve this.
this is what i see

Mount system from CWM and then try again.
If that does not work, replace the updater-script (META-INF) with the one attached here now.
If that still doesnot work, try copying the META-INF folder from a custom ROM of your device.

Yup I think so, I had to finally unlock my bootloader as well just to be able to keep flashing ICS, I also tried different versions of CWM but nothing worked until after I sorted the folder structure in the rom.zip, when I tried it again it installed for about 3 minutes before failing, instead of the 20 seconds it took before.

I didnt used link2sd so far,
We cant change ubifs to ext4 unless got kernel sources
still custom roms are distant dream because of low system partition memory

Rooted but Cannot enter Recovery mode
Hi
I rooted my a 58 using FramRoot, installed gravity toolbox also.
However i try, Iam not able to get into recovery.
#Tried flashing using Mobile Uncle, it flashes and asks to reboot to recovery.But again boots into normal os.
On powering on with vol+ and power button it shows only new Bolt logo(white letters in green trapezium) and no android
I tried rebooting into recover with different tools but all same result.
# Tried running the CTRv2.1-ubifs.exe a no of times.
It detects my MT6572 SoC and asks for root rights on phone, but fails after issueing dd commands with the following message on pc screen "Error detected, cannot unpack recovery.img"
I had around 90mb free space in data partition.
#
This is what I could observe, if iam trying to get into recovery it shows bolt logo as said above, then black screen and again comes to bolt logo and continues a normal boot.
Tried vol- and power button. Took me to some chinese factory testing menu.I could test my device hardware and also could do a factory reset from that menu.But not idea how to get into recovery from there.
I have all the drivers installed and I am not a newbiew, has flashed a lot of recoveries and custom roms on diff devices.
I followed @dhinesh77 thread and the cat /proc/mtd command screenshot is attached.
I have no idea what iam missing here, If you need any details i can provide the same.Please help me

Thanks dude.
@dinesh77 s post helped me to conclude the issue.
Your post led me back on track and thanks for uploading the roms. Although i dint download because of my limited conn speed, itll be of help to someone.
Here's how i solved the issue.
I checked unpacking my existing recovery image and it was corrupted.
I was having a problem since i flashed the corrupted recovery initially, and lateron ctr porting tool was not able extract the existing recovery details for porting.
So i got twrp recovery from your the mediafire link in the first post did a porting and then everything worked fine with ctr recovery.
twrp recovery was running, but backup functionality wasnt working.
Iam not able to use advanced restore from ctr recovery.
All othr functions works from ctr..

Congratulation bro! And please share the procedure here so we can also get benefit of it. Thanks in advance.
Increase internal Memory !! Link2sd Working !! [Use Manual mount Script]
Steps
1. Partition your sd card to have an ext4 2nd partition. I used a second primary partition of 512mb (ext3,ext4 fat32 confirmed working)
2. Install Link2sd from playstore.
3. Mount /system read-write and Copy attached install-recovery.sh to /etc/ using any file manager with root access.
4. Using filemanager(root) goto /data and create directory sdext2. or mkdir /data/sdext2 using root terminal
5. Set permissions on the copied file using filemanager(root) as in screenshot or chmod 777 /etc/install-recovery.sh using root terminal.
6. Done!! Reboot your system and check link2sd->Storage info to see the mounted partition details.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Incase you want to test if link2sd will work or not with your current sdcard 2nd partition, issue the commands in terminal
su
mkdir /data/sdext2
mount -t ext4-o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext2
or
mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make the following changes in the mount command in case you are using a different partition/filesystem
Open your install-recovery.sh and
Replace ext4 with ext2/ext3/vfat depending on you second partition.
If using a partition other than 2nd partition, Replace either mmcblk0p2 with mmcblk0p3 OR 179:2 with 179:3 or so on depending on your partition no.
