Warning:I am not responisible for any damage to your phone and rooting usually nullifies the warranty. so please procede with your own risk
I tried to root my karbonn A2 for 2 weeks and finally i got it. so im gonna share the steps involved in rooting and also provoide the tools for it.
NOTE: I do not take credit for any tool since all the tools were already available online, so credit goes to whoever programmed them. only thing i did was to alter the method slightly to get my phone rooted.
Lets begin. Before we start rooting our phone, most important thing is the drivers. so u need two types of drivers one is ADB (android debugging bridge) drivers and the other is preloader drivers. i have attached both of these drivers in the attachments u can download it.
Step1[only for beginners]: Go to setting>applications>development>enable USB debugging in the phone, then connect your phone to ur pc (remove all previous drivers if u have installed) then go to device manager>devices, right click on the usb device and click update driver and browse to folder containing the SPdrvers (u need to extract the folder from the attachment first).If driver is successfully installed then u should see "android phone" in ur device manager. to confirm it just run adb devices from the command line by chagning the directory to where adb.exe is, u should see the list of devices attached to ur pc. (usually adb.exe will be in android sdk tools folder or if u dont have one then check in ADB folder from superoneclick in the attachment).
Step2: ok, now that u have installed adb drivers, u need to install preloader driver (also known as downloading mode in some devices). to do this, disconnect ur phone from the pc, then switch off the phone, remove the battery and then connect ur phone to pc again (without the battery). then u should see windows trying to install drivers and fails. then go to device manager again and browse to folder containing USB VCOM drivers (see attachment). after it successfully installs procede to step 3.
Step3:: download, extract the files MTKROM and SPflash tool to ur pc. then put the battery inside ur phone then switch it on, connect it to pc (enable debugging all the time). then open command line then go to adb folder then type :adb devices- u should see the list of device attached (u will get some long numbers so dont worry). then type "adb shell" (without the quotes). u will get a $ sign, then type "cat proc/mtd > /sdcard/firmware.info" if its successful then a file named firmware.info will be created in ur sdcard root. then copy that file to ur pc.
Step 4: Now open that firmware.info in MTKROM.exe u should see a list tables and address like in the image below. then click save scatter and rename the filename to MT6575 instead of MT6573 (and leave everthing else as it is). so a file named "MT6575_Android_scatter.txt" will be created.
Step 5: Now open Spflash tool and load the scatter file in that. u should see something like this in the image below.
STEPS TO BACKUP ORIGINAL BOOT AND RECOVERY
Step 6: Before we actually begin to root its important to make a backup of current images. so to do that, go to READ BACK tab in sp flash tool. click on Add>double click on the page file and save as "Boot.img" somewhere safe. then click on "Read Page only", this is very important. then look at the address side by side from MTKROM and enter into sptool. the start address is the address in which the boot.img begins and length is the length of boot.img. so final address will be startaddress+length =start address of next image (recovery.img). In MTKROM the start address is given as "PART ADDRESS". after entering those carefully click ok. if u want to be sure then use programmer calculator and add the address.
Note :the address will be in hexadecimal format not decimal.
Step7: In order to read the firmware from the phone, disconnect the phone from your pc, remove the battery, dont connect it yet. now click on "Read back" button in the sptool (its after Add,remove button). now the software starts searching for the device. now connect the device to the pc (without battery ofcourse). now if have installed USB VCOM drivers correctly then the sp tool should detect ur device and start reading from it. u will see Red colour in the
task bar when it detects then blue colour while the tool is reading the phone. wait untill the reading is complete. A green circle will pop up after it successfully reads from the device. (refer the images below)
Step 8: repeat step seven as described above for recovery.img (save the file as recovery.img) then select "read page only" option, enter start address as 0x0980000 and length as 0x0500000. (please enter the address carefully cross check with MTKROM image addresses.)
Note: You have to disconnect the device first then click read back button after entering the addresses then connect the device, otherwise the sptool wont detect your device!.
Actual Rooting Procedure
Step 9: Now that you have backed up both boot and recovery images its time to start the actual rooting. download the boot.img file from the attachment and save to your pc (dont replace it with your backup image that you saved earlier). go to download tab in the sp tool and tick only boot.img and uncheck all others (if any of them has been checked already) and click on Bootimg and browse for the folder where u downloaded boot.img from the attachment and NOT THE BACKUP! after that disconnect your device, then click download button above( after format->upgrade button) or f9 from keyboard. the tool will start searching the usb com ports. now connect your device and wait till it downloads fully. Note: In downloading your will get RED colour first, then YELLOW colour while flashing, and finally a GREEN circle after flashing is complete).
Step 10: The most important and complicates steps are over. now all you have to do is put your battery to your phone and switch it on. now after it sucessfully boots up, open superonclick.exe (you will get this software online and its very popular tool for rooting) and connect the device to your pc (enable debugging of course), then click Root button in superoneclick and Voila! your phone is rooted. enjoy and dont forget to press thanks button if ive helped
Note: u will need .NET framework 3.5 to run superoneclick.
Method To Unroot
For unrooting your mobile all you have to do is flash the original, backup boot image back to your phone. just open sptool and load the scatter file, then click on bootimg then browse to wherever u have stored backup boot.img then click download button then connect your device without the battery and thats it. you will get back original firmware without the root!.
Clockwork mod recovery for A2
There is no official cwm recovery for A2, but i ported cwm for other MT65xx devices to A2. so here are the steps to flash.
step 1: download recovery.img from the attachment.
step 2: open sp flash tool and load scatter.txt (for detailed description refer rooting steps). then tick recoveryimg and browse and set the path of the recovery.img you just downloaded from attachment.
step3: click on download button at the top or press f9. then take out the battery from the phone and connect it to the pc. the tool will detect your phone and start flashing cwm recovery.wait untill the green circle pops up.
step 4: now put in the battery and press power button+volume up and hold it for few seconds and voila!! cwm recovery boots up. And to revert back to original recovery just flash the recovery.img that you backed up during rooting process using the above steps.
Note: Do Not factory reset your phone without backing up the IMEI number. After rooting your device please backup your phones IMEI number which is stored in data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001 to a safe place. or there is an application called mobileuncletools (a chinese app) which helps to backup your IMEI to sdcard and restore it back. if u loose your IMEI and reset your phone then you cannot call or recieve sms etc
No service and invalid IMEI solution
explanation:
In case u did factory reset of the phone, then all your data will be wiped including the imei number. it will be reverted to factory imei number, hence you cannot connect to any mobile networks in india or anywhere else because most network operators wont allow to use the network with dupicate or invalid imei numbers. every device has a specific imei number. in this device your original imei numbers (15 digits) will be on the back of your battery.
Restoring is tough very simple procedure, creating the required files is a major headache. At first i thought it was impossible to restore the imei back (trust me i tried all the available solutions that u get in the internet, infact there are 5 different types of solutions, none of which worked for this device). luckily one day i found a chinese software which actually did create a imei file that is compatible with this device (phew !, yeah i know) and so i did successully restored my imei back and i can once again connect to mobile network and make calls..:victory: so here it goes.
How to restore IMEI number? (MUST BE A ROOTED PHONE)
1) if u have made the backup of MP0B_001 file in /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001 , then install root explorer and simply replace your current file with the backed up MP0B_001 and set the permissions to rw-rw---- and restart.
2) if u havent backed it up (too bad), then download the chinese software sn_gen.zip from the attachments and enter both imei numbers that is found in the back of your battery (enter the numbers correctly and cross check it again, its 15 digit number). then the software generates a new MP0B_001 file, copy and paste in the above mentioned directory and set the permissions to rw-rw---- and restart.:fingers-crossed:
dont forget to press thanks button if ive helped you :good:

its not possible to put ICS in A2 (since its officially not supported to our device), although cyanogenmod 9 can be installed but its very difficult to build it since most of the drivers are properitery and they wont release the sources. so its almost impossible to run cm9 and even if someone did build cm9 it wont run smoothly because of very low amount ram in our device (<256MB and ICS needs more than that to work smoothly). however im working to build cm7 (based on gingerbread) for our device and even that is really difficult since there is no device tree in github for this device. so i need build cm7 from scratch and that is not an easy job. so if any developers are working on building cm7 for A2 please pm me so that we can work together..

if we create any partion sd memory for our internal memory can it run cm10 b'cuz galaxy ace can run cm10 it has just 256MB ram and some wat 800MHZ speed only but our device has 256MD ram with 1GHZ processor speed so i think it can also run cm10 if we create a partition memory from ous sd card thats wat i think so........
waiting for reply from ur side thanks in advance.......
urgent help

lol i was a galaxy ace user untill last dec. (its touch digitizer got broke, so i temporarily bought karbonn). anyway i do know ace can run cm10 and pretty much any device can, even ours can run it. i did not say our device doesnt run at all. i said it wont run smoothly and developing cm other than stock os version is very very difficult since our device is a local device and threre is no lot of support for it. so if anything goes wrong we may permanently brick our devices and may not find solution at all.
on the other hand, since i was a former ace user, i know that even though ace can run cm9 and cm10 there were a lot of problem in getting camera, video recording, and other applications because of unavialablity of their sources. so furthermore most of extra features that arent available in gingerbread cannot be used ex: face recognition, google now,otg usb etc( they are built for high end devices). u wont notice the difference in optimizations and performance of jelly bean in low end devices because they need sufficient hardware to utilize the os to full extent. so only thing u get out of installing cm is user interface (which u can change using of launchers, oh yes there are big bunches of launchers out there) and some features of cm (deodexd rom,custom kernel with overclocking features and some tweaks.)
coming back to our device, ive been trying to build cm7 for our device and its really difficult without a device tree and some good prior experience in building cm for atleast 2 devices. so my advice is that first we will build a fully working cm7 for our device and later if possible we will port cm10.

what do u mean by reset? did u do factory reset from recovery or did u clear flash from by holding power+down? (oh btw recovery is power+up in our device).
either way ur imei number has been erased and it will be reset to factory number . i spent 1 week day and night searching for a solution and that is exactly why i told u to backup your MB0P_001 file.
in order to repair it u need to root ur phone. follow above steps and paste ur imei number (dial *#06#).
Nothing in SuperOneClick
I am successful in doing everything, but when I open SuperOneClick, it does not show any device, and clicking "Root" greys off the button for a few seconds, and everything is back to normal again. Nothing happens to the phone.
What is wrong?

ru sure u replaced boot.img which was attached in attachments to your phone? if it was successful then u have unlocked the bootloader. the problem here seems to be like superonclick isnt detecting ur phone when connected to pc. In case if the usb debugging is turned off enable it and check if ur device is listed in adb devices command as explained above. if it does and still rooting doesnt work, then maybe you are using wrong version of superoneclick. because some of the loopholes which is used to root your phone (by gaining temporary access to shell) is not available in older versions. the version must be compatible with gingerbread. try downloading superonclick 2.3.3 version.
also, after u root with superonclick, restart it and please check if u have superuser app in ur phone(it will be automatically installed by superoneclick, dont install it manually since the app should be in /system/app and su command should be in /system/bin directory, which u cannot do by installing it manually). if its installed then u have root access, if u still want to confirm just download root checker app from google play and run it.
CM10 means Jelly Bean Which has minimum Requirement of 512MB ram... device cant even Support Cm9(ics)...And generally cynogenmods are not developed for local Indian Brands.....Instead Try this making your phone look like XPERIA:

hai Sizariya.........thanks buddy....its a nice one......i rooted my xolo q1000.Hope new roms will be available in future.
A small problem is that its taking much time to recharge.Why that happening?
Have anyone noticed in our battery it is written as Li-Polymer. but actuallly it is Li-ion.How that happened??
Hi Sizariya...
Does this one apply on to Xolo Q1000s as well? If not, can you please guide me to something on that?!?
I need to install a recovery module on my phone - either of CWM or TWRP would do.
Thanks,

OK i dont know if you will understand this but I will just try to explain a little
For making roms like CM, Pac , PA and stuff, You need kernel source code of that device
Without that it is impossible to build CM ( Even the Kitkat CM 11 )
Xolo never gives out kernel source code nor does Mediatek (MTK)
q1000 is Mt6589, so you can try to port from other devices too but building such good roms from scratch without bugs ?? It is impossible
So cheers and wait until someone does that himself
And yeah being in 9th doesnt make you a n00b
The reason you are n00b is that you just never reached out to know more about it
Cheers, have a good one

this method works for me, but I am not sure if it will work for you. I have to warn you that I am not a dev, I am just a basic android user. I came up with this idea out of desperation because my phone cannot receive and make calls for almost 4 days. so do this at your own risk.
note:
* make sure your phone is rooted.
* make a copy of your old efs backup and all your important files in your computer or in a flash drive.
1. copy and write on a piece of paper your imei # which will be found at the back of your phone. it is 15 digit
2. copy your efs.img (not the folder that contain the efs image) to your internal storage. it is about 20mb. if there are two files then copy both.
3. connect to wifi and go to playstore and then download and install the IMEI Tool N7100 by Dr Ketan
4. download and install xposed installer and make sure to install update.
5. go to this thread and download and install imei changer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-imei-changer-t2847187
make sure to activate it in exposed. then reboot your phone.
6. using ES File Explorer or any file manager with root privelege, go to /efs and delete all files
7. open imei changer then input your imei # (the one that you copied at the back of your pbone) then save. to make sure that your imei has changed dial *#06#. check if your imei if its the one you have written. if not go again to imei changer and change then make sure to save.
8. open IMEI tool by dr. ketan and restore efs backup. it will ask for root privelege so click grant.
9. after restoring efs, reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik then reboot. check if you have data connection.
10. if its not working then go to recovery and make a full wipe and install new touchwiz rom (i used DN4 when I did this, but its up to you whatever you like). and repeat the steps.
* that's all I did mate. there is no scientific explanation about the process that I made, but when I did those things, my phone is working fine again. hopefully it will work for you brother. Good luck and God bless!

I followed the same procedure but did not worked.
One more thing i would like to mention that in recent past i got my complete pcb replaced by samsung service center but imei was same. and the backup of efs which i did was on previous pcb/motherboard. could that be the reason i am not able to restore imei?
Invalid imei fix
NOTE this only works if your IMEI shows INVALID. If the IMEI is blank then follow the second post.
Switching between Lollipop and Kitkat firmwares in Desire 820s can sometimes result in invalid imei in system or when dialing *#06#
The best solution is to reflash your original firmare. However if you wish to stick to your current firmware then you can easily fix it with the following method:
This only works for invalid imei in system or in dialer and not in bootloader
What you need
Rooted Desire 820s
Download Root explorer from this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en
Now use root explorer and navigate to the root of your phone. You will get a folder named "data". Open in and inside it you will get a folder named "nvram". Rename "nvram" to "nvram_old" and then reboot your phone.
Your imeis should now be back
If you still have network problems
Open dialer
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Select Phone information
Set preferred network type: choose GSM only. (It might change back to Unknown but keep on choosing GSM only until network appears, then you can choose another option)
Blank IMEI Fix
If your IMEI is blank when you type *#06# in dialer because you accidentally formatted the phone with SP Flash Tool then follow this:
(Only works on Kitkat firmware. So if you're on Lollipop you'll have to flash KitKat first)
1. First Install Gadget CDC VCOM drivers on your PC using this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nCfN3bdayQ
2. Download NVRAM DB 820s file from here https://mega.nz/#!4DhgFQrC!vcS5n6tJb1yjjSISrAa0gtATyrmksCNMm0hSCn7hEMw
3. Download SN Write Tool from here https://mega.nz/#!IWxGmDba!UGFtSQUVOLrj1b9LhNdd-0JzuwOvbDuUelXwxYJJ7z8
4. Extract both of them
5. Open SN Write Tool folder and run SN Writer.exe as administrator
6. Let ComPort be USB VCOM and Target Type be Smart Phone
7. Click on system config
8. Under Write option tick IMEI (if Serial Number is also affected tick it as well)
7. Under IMEI option tick dual IMEI
9. Under DataBase File click on MD1_DB and navigate to the NVRAM DB 820s folder and choose the file named =>> BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6752_S00_MOLY_LR9_W1423_M D_LWTG_CMCC_MP_V1_P21_1_ltg_n
10. Then click on AP_DB and navigate again to the NVRAM DB 820s folder and choose the file named ==> APDB_MT6752_S01_KK2.MP13_
11. Click Save
12. Click Start
13. Insert the original IMEI 1 and IMEI 2 of your phone as shown on the box you bought your phone with and Click OK (If Serial Number is also affected type it here)
14. Switch off your Phone and connect it to the PC with a USB cable
15. Wait until it says PASS then reboot the phone

Overview
Now, I have seen many people facing problems like lost IMEI or NVRAM warning in their wifi list! Well, these are normal errors when you often flash a custom and wiped system or update using SP Flash Tools. So fix isn't that hard! But still, many people suffer from this! Now, this guide is applicable for every device(MTK) but BPLGU modem file will vary from device to device. I have specially made this guide for Lenovo Vibe K4 Note users!:laugh:
WARNING !!! IMEI CHANGING IS ILLEGAL. THIS GUIDE ONLY HELPS YOU HOW TO RESTORE ORIGINAL IMEI OF YOUR DEVICE! I DONT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY ILLEGAL ACTION TAKEN AGAIN YOU! BE AWARE IF YOU ARE NOT SURE FOR WHAT IMEI IS USED FOR ALSO I DONT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OF DEAD DEVICES/ BRICKS! PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING. HOWEVER, THIS GUIDE WILL HELP YOU DEAL WITH THINGS, IF YOU READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS THEN YOU DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING!

So lets fix it up !
Required stuffs !
Windows PC (7/8/8.1/10)
Usb Cable
Few tools
Drivers
Your device, ofc !
Download Section !
1. Scatter files !
2. MauiMETA
3. Temoprary IMEI fix.zip
Now before we start doing anything make sure you download everything from the download section. Also, make sure your device is having TWRP installed.
Process !
Now most of you must have thought hey Max where is NVRAM fix? There was nothing about NVRAM in title Well chill down I will target NVRAM NOW !! So let us begin! Now as you have downloaded entire scatter files so NVRAM needs entire scatter files. "Woosh! Thank god it was useful somehow" most of you must have thought Hehehe Well one more thing if you are using permanent NVRAM fix then use it before you flash IMEI or else you lose it again if you fix NVRAM after IMEI. However, a temporary fix can be flashed later on.
* Now navigate to the firmware folder
* Look for scatter file open it in notepad or notepad ++
* There look for this line, "partition_name: NVRAM"
* There you will also notice, "s_download: false"
* Just change it to, "s_download: true"
* Save and exit!
* Open Sp flash tools and load scatter file(Remember a thing, you will have to use an older version of SP Flash Tools)
* You will see checkbox of NVRAM just choose it and keep rest options unchecked!
* Flash into your device and all set!
NVRAM IS FIXED PERMANENTLY :good:
But now for those who are lazy doing this, there is a temporary zip file which you can flash and NVRAM problem will be fixed for a limited time to do so just go to download section and download temporary fix zip file and flash it into TWRP (Yes, that's why we needed TWRP):angel:
Now before we start doing anything make sure you download everything from the download section. Also, make sure your device is having TWRP installed. (YES AGAIN MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING)
• After that, run Maui META 3G
• Use USB COM
• From Options menu, select “Connect smartphone in meta mode”.
• Press Reconnect and connect the phone in the switched off state.
• Wait for a minute. Your Device automatically boots into meta mode. The blinking led will become yellow and you can see "connected with target"
• Now from the drop-down menu select “IMEI download”. Click ok till you see IMEI download box.
• Click Change NVRAM Database FIle and browse to “MT6753 DB” folder and select the following file.
File\MT6753\
BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6753_S00_K5_ROW_LWG_V56_ 1_lwg_n (BPLGU modem file for mt6753, do a double check as the name might change with firmware versions).
[Well I have not extracted this file yet from stock ROM scatter files. However, I have given you the download link of entire stock ROM look the file there itself !]
• Click ok on any warning.
• Leave IMEI Increasemnt 0.
• Write first 14 digits of your IMEI in IMEI box and last 15th digits will go in checksum(should be entered automatically). Eg:- if IMEI is 123456789123456, write 12345678912345 in IMEI and 6 in the checksum. Do same for Sim_2
[Now most of you must be wondering where is my IMEI. I don't remember it and also it's not there in the list. Don't worry pull your back cover and you will see IMEI sticker there just type the same IMEI]
• Press Download To Flash. You will see Download IMEI flash successfully. Now close the box (or alt+f4 or close from task manager if stuck).
• Restart the phone
• Open Dialer and type *#06# and you will get your valid IMEI number.
* Well if you saw the same IMEI then you are done !!! :good:
Credits : Yaas !! Why not ?

Drivers ?
Hey Maxx where are our drivers? Well, come on relax as you have downloaded scatter files all the drivers are there you can additionally get extra drivers from my https://forum.xda-developers.com/k4-note/how-to/bootloader-unlock-t3846902 another post [/url] Yes the same one! TWRP one! I have added ADB Drivers there follow the same process also there is a manual how to install drivers same is applicable for these drivers!
