CWM RECOVERY FOR THE KARBONN A18!!
Hey guys!! Finally i ported the ClockWorkMod ICS recovery (non-touch) onto our device!!
For people who dont know what CWM recovery and its benefits are, read this -> http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-clockworkmod-recovery-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/
So, here are the steps on getting the CWM on Karbonn A18-
What you need
1. Karbonn A18, data usb cable.
2. Download the CWM recovery image file from the attachment below this post.
3. Download SP Flash Tool from my another post -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1353992&d=1348592592
4. Download MTK6575 Driver from -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1353943&d=1348591411
5. Download the MTK6575 Scatter.txt file from the attachment below this post.
Installation Steps-
1. Unzip and Install the MTK6575 USB drivers on your Windows PC, just run setup.exe.
Connect your phone switched off and battery removed using USB cable. Windows will recognize and install the MTK drivers for your phone (any free COM ports) will be configured. Disconnect the phone. Put the battery back but do not switch on the phone
2. Copy the CWM recovery file that you downloaded from my attatchment. Rename it to be recovery.img
4. Extract and run SP flash Tool.exe (the one with Blue image icon)
5. Click on Options, check USB mode.
6. Click on Scatter-loading button which is on the right side below Downloading Agent. A window will open. Browse to your downloaded scatter.txt file. By default you will have only one map file of name MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc. Select this
7. The flash tool will populate the Map file on the application window. You will see multiple Entries such as
PRELOADER
DSP_BL
MBR
etc etc. Each will have a check box which is by default checked.
8. UNCHECK all entries EXCEPT FOR "RECOVERY". Leave Recovery checked. Now click on the "RECOVERY" just right to the checkbox and browse and select the cwm.img file you downloaded from the attachment below.
9. Now click on "Download" on the Application or press F9 on keyboard. Warning messages will occur, but ignore them..
10. You will see in the status bar below "Searching"
11. Connect your phone (switched off and with battery inserted) via the USB cable.
12. Flash tool will do its stuff. First a red progress bar, then a count down, a quick yellow progress bar and final window showing Green Circle.
If you get this the Congrats You have flashed CWM !
Check by unplugging the phone and re-starting it with Power+Volume Down button Pressed. The Phone will boot into CWM !.
Enjoy !
Warning - Please follow the instructions. Don't mess around with anything else. Not responsible if you do anything else and brick your device !
In case you get any other error on SP Flash Tool, then recheck your MTK driver installation. Try on another PC.
BUGS / Not functioning features :
Backing up the data not working
USB mount SDCARD through recovery not working

I, Me & Myself..
EDIT:
i have tried removing some bugs, try and tell me u all!!!
I have also included the stock recovery.img file in the attatchment for people who want the stock recovery.

If it is proper then try connecting your phone without the battery inserted

I'm facing the same problem.. I tried with battery in and out.. have installed the drivers as well..
i ported this recovery from a ZOPO Z900 Leader chinese android handset...i tried building from source, but i failed at it because of partition style in a18...
For people facing problems flashing it through sp tools, u all can try to flash it using another pc or alternatively view this youtube video -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=969xwsUTkSY

You are confusing me man
I did the same thing as it is in the instruction.
Frist do a FULL FORMAT of the phone with the scatter file provided here. that went ok and the green circle was shown.
Nex step, 1. Just filash preloader.img * remove battery and usb cable i did that but as u can see in the picture there was smoe kind of problem.
Ok i think i solve that problem
Instead of click on the FORMAT button i was clicking on the DOWNLOAD button like when uyou are rooting the phone. (click on the preloader.img and hit the FORMAT button not DOWNLOAD button)
all steps finished with green circle at the end.
Is that the right procedure, u did the same?
After everything finished i try to update with ONE TOUCH Upgrade S 2.7.0 but it says that I have newest version of the software.
What should I do next ?
finally unbrick

if not have recovery and phone is dead you need preloader.img , dsp_bl.img and pro_info.img for your model 918 and upgrade with OTU , read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612233 , basically is same like alcatel 991
if dont work sp_flash_tools v2 try with V3 , or try this
I found THE solution of our problem man !!!!!
I found it !
I assume you have already Flash Tools and One Touch Upgrade 1.8.2
Step 1 : Download the file '2.3.5_Europe.zip' (file attachement)
Step 2 : Open Flash Tool
- Option --> Check USB MODE
- Option --> Backup Restore NVRAM --> Check Backup --> .....
- Scater-loading File --> "MT6573_Android_scatter.txt" (in 2.3.5_Europe)
- Click DOWNLOAD
Step 3 : Wait up to the end.
When it's finished, open One Touch Upgrade and do an Upgrade
It works very well now !!
Bye !

flash all 3 files together pro_info.img , dsp_bl.img and preloader.img

Still not working bro
it finishes ok with a green circle but no display lights like it is mentioned in the tutorial
checked OTU but it says the same No greater software version than this on the phone and it finishes.
Question. ?? when u do full format you click on format button and than you put a check mark on FORMAT WHOLE FLASH and nothing else is checked on the screen
preloader DSp_BL and other things are unchecked too ?
Second question ?? when u flash all 3 files together pro_info.img , dsp_bl.img and preloader.img you click on DOWNLOAD ???
This is what instruction file says ( the file that is in the rar i downloaded from the dropbox adress u send me
******* FLASHING PRODECTURE.
Frist do a FULL FORMAT of the phone with the scatter file provided here. then flash the files ONE BY ONE.
1. Just filash preloader.img * remove battery and usb cable
2. Flash DSP_BL * remove battery and usb cable
3. Flash pro_info * remove battery and usb cable
4. Flash UBOOT.img * remove battery and usb cable
Flash all the files one by one, if you found the correct preloader.img you will see the phones screen lights up.
Now you can use ONE TOUCH Upgrade S 2.6.3 From alcatel website to flash back all the rest of the firmware:
Or you can flash boot.img + recovery.img to do a restore of an old backup you have.
I do that once and it didnt work. Than i try as u say to flash all 3 files at once. In none of two ways the phone didn give any sign and in both times OTU show the message there is no greater software version.
Please help.
hi there,
i was on HYD52ROM V2 for the Ascend P6.
I decided to do an upgrade to the KitKat Version of HYD52ROM. So i installed the TouchRecoveryInstaller-v1_01.apk and rebooted. I had the newest file of the Rom on my SD-Card. I wiped the phone and the dalvik also.
Then it said, that there is an error while installing the KitKat Rom.
I thought "no problem" - i had the old V2 on my sd card also.
Now only the bootscreen "Huawei Ascend" appears and nothing more. I can switch off the phone while hitting all the buttons but nothing more. Is there any possibility to get it back working?
If so, please a short step by step will do it.
Thanks!

I decided to do an upgrade to the KitKat Version of HYD52ROM. So i installed the TouchRecoveryInstaller-v1_01.apk and rebooted. I had the newest file of the Rom on my SD-Card. I wiped the phone and the dalvik also.
Then it said, that there is an error while installing the KitKat Rom.
I thought "no problem" - i had the old V2 on my sd card also.
Now only the bootscreen "Huawei Ascend" appears and nothing more. I can switch off the phone while hitting all the buttons but nothing more. Is there any possibility to get it back working?
If so, please a short step by step will do it.
Thanks!

ok thank you for your answer...
means i have to put the "UPDATE.APP" in the DLOAD-folder on the sd?
two more questions...
1) is it important which original firmware version?
2) i have downloaded the "Huawei Update Extractor" ... what to do with it? Do you have a link for the stock recovery? I haven´t read s.th. about it :-/

I had a problem on Htc Desire 616, it shows always an error like "google play stopped working". This is not only google play, it shows lots of names and doesn't let me use the phone. Hard reset did not work. Then I stcuk in htc logo
I decided to use SP Flash Tool to install stock rom. I tried to wipe data, however it gives an error like "/data could not mount" then I have tried to flash again using SP Flash tool But i format bootloader . When i plugged in, it does not show any reaction like charging.
Now , what should I do is it completely died or is there any hope to make it work again
Thanks .

I'm searching for a solution right now
i think i'm losing hope , so i'm going to give it to someone who can fix it
When I find a solution , I will send you back
Same here. The same thing happened to my 616. The motherboard(NAND Memory) was gone so I gave it to a local repair shop. Probably a hardware bug.

I downloaded the firmware files
And tried to flash normally but it didn't work out as the SP Tools doesn't load files properly (probably stock files problem)
so I tried to flash only
1. boot.img
2. recovery.img
3. For the third file rename the "system.ext4.img" to "system.img"
4. Select in the SP Tool -> android tab and select "system.img"
5. Remove the battery from the phone
6. Click on download in SP Tool
7. Connect the phone with the usb cable
Note : Make sure you have the drivers installed in the PC
8. After flashing it will start in russian language (dont be panic), just wait untill it done. :good:
9. Now you will land on the language selection menu
10. You still get the notifications of "unfortunately stopped ..." blah blah.(just ignore it)
11. Now you'll get some error notification "Some ID is modified". Click Ok on it.
12. After few minutes your phone will restart autmatically and it will boot in recovery with loading sign and notification "Erasing"
13. Now it will reboot after the above process automatically (Please wait as the first boot take time)
14. Again setup your phone and Viola!
Your phone will work fine! :good:

Hello Guys,
The issue is that i wanted to root my lenovo k8 note so follow this link "https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/tutorials-how-to-root-lenovo-k8-note-t3685502", Everything works file but in last rooting step no. 9
9. If you see internal storage 0mb Then GoTo Wipe and FORMAT DATA once & reboot to recovery
but in my device there has memory 59999mb so i ignored and reboot using twrp but it says no OS installed
and shows orange state, then i format phone using twrp but nothing happens again orange state and no os installed.
then i found another article with same issue "https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lenovo-k8-note-stuck-boot-logo-flashing-t3751324/post75974342#post75974342" and found this
The bootlogo issue.
Hey! I read your post regarding your k8 note being stuck at the bootlogo.
Consider that you can still use TWRP, boot into it.
Then go ahead and download the SuperSU zip on your PC/laptop and connect your phone with a USB. You might be able to see the SD card folders on your PC, then you can just copy and paste it to the internal sd and flash it. You'll be good to go. If that doesn't work, in the TWRP Mode, go to advanced and select ADB sideload. You can now flash using ADB sideload.
Search for tutorials on ADB sideload. It's easy and that should work.

Are you okay with losing your data on your phone? If yes then go ahead and flash stock ROM with sp flash tool. And about your problem, I guess you wiped the /system partition as well that's why it was showing no os installed.
Another thing is that if you install twrp Do not boot up your phone, boot up into twrp by pressing volume up and power button at the same time you'll need to flash magisk or supersu so that twrp can modify partition correctly.
Thanks

I have lost all my mind and need serious help.
Recently, the march update came. i forgot that rooted phone should not be updated by the OTA update. And i did. As a result i got stuck in a bootloop. Then I had to use the oreo ROM from this forum and flashed it using SP Flash tool. It was a successfull flash. Then I used Maui META to write the IMEI for both sim. That was successfull too(Wifi and bluetooth addresses were working by themselves and i didnt write the serial number of the phone).
After working nicely for three days, i was using Whatsapp and a friend of mine sent me a .pptx file (powerpoint presentation). I opened it using WPS office app. I opened it multiple times in morning with no problems. But in the afternoon at about 2.53 PM while i was in my car, i was unable to open the file. The phone hanged. It heated up. To get out of the hang, i restarted the phone using the power button. IT DID NOT START. All it showed was the lenovo logo screen. And after doing more restarts, the phone went completely blank.
Now i cannot start it, or charge it. So i thought of flashing it again. But when i connect it to my PC, it keeps CONNECTING and DISCONNECTING. what i saw in the device manager was that the driver keeps changing very fast betwee MTK USB PORT and PRELOADER.
I found the solution to be updating the drivers manually. I did. Now the driver shows only DA USB VCOM and when it changes, it goes invisible in the PC and then appears back. Now when i start flashing, the first red progress bar appears as: Download DA 100%. and the flash hangs. After some time, this error will popup: ERROR: STATUS_UNKNOWN_STORAGE_TYPE (0xC0040009)
Please someone help me.

I couldn't find more about the problem online, can you please upload a screenshot of the error. Try using the latest version of SP Flash Tool and see if the problem persists
I have lost all my mind and need serious help.
here are the screenshots. Note that the battery is in the phone always because i am unable to open the back cover. During the flashing process, i did not press the vol - button.

https://ibb.co/4VkVPjs
https://ibb.co/cw2BzLC
https://ibb.co/kcjjJ74
Now in the following screenshots, i kept the vol - button pressed down. Note that the driver is stuck at preloader and not DA. Also the first bar is yellow color in both these cases. However, in the above situation, multiple files were flashed. But in this below situation, only this so called "flash" was done; that too unsucessful in the end.

So i did as you said brother. I don' t know how but something happened. The phone, after a long time actually displayed up. It showed the LENOVO logo and down in the corner two things came in written :
>device unlocked
>Tool DL image Fail
I googled it up and found that it requires to flash the phone with the DA DL option ticked. I did that but it does not flash. The error is same as follows:
https://ibb.co/Ssj58Zd
Can you please guide me in the flashing process? I think the mistake is very small but i don't know where i am missing.

Okay so what i figured out is that in this state: (battery plugged in, no notification LED response, no response on power or volume buttons) the driver you require is MTK USB PORT.
I updated to this driver manually, and guess what? the phone actually flashed. But three files remained and the process hanged. (system, cache and userdata)
Now i get the errors:
>device unlocked
>Tool DL image Fail
and sometimes: >device otp failed
I am trying to flash the rest three files individually. Lets see what happens.
