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..

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

Not sure if this has been posted already but, this exact process for rooting works for almost ANY android device the program is very easy to use and I will do my best to try and explain how it works.
First, download this ROOTING TOOL
BLU Tank 4.5 Recovery Provided by lopestom: DOWNLOAD
SuperUser: DOWNLOAD
MobileUncle Tools: DOWNLOAD
Now that you have all of these files I will teach you step by step to achieve root + CWM.
ROOTING:
1. Extract the rooting tool to your computer the folder should be called "VROOT" now open the file Root.exe and this image will appear. (MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS CONNECTED VIA USB WITH INSTALLED DRIVERS)
2. CLICK ROOT.
The program will install a chinese version of superuser which we will delete after CWM installation. (YOUR PHONE WILL REBOOT, THIS IS NORMAL)
3. After reboot, you may now exit the program.
CWM:
1. Now that we are rooted, we can install CWM. While your phone is still plugged into your computer place the MobileUncleTools.apk into your phones storage.
2. Exract the recovery "BLU Tank 4.5.zip" to your computer and put the recovery image file into your phone.
3. Go to your phone and load the application "File Manager" and install the program MobileUncletools.apk that you just put on your phone.
4. Run the program Mobile Uncle Tools on your phone:
Next:
5. Once you Select the recovery.img your phone will prompt you to flash the recovery, click YES, it will then prompt you to reboot your phone into recovery then choose YES.
6. You should now be in CWM.
NOW TO REMOVE CHINESE SUPERUSER.
1. Choose to install a zip from SD CARD > Choose UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip > Install
2. CWM will remove chinese SU and you now have Chainfire SU.
Done.

I tried with no luck. Phone is already rooted with the same method you mentioned. I flash the recovery image using the app, and the phone reboots to the stock recovery mode.
I'm not running the phone on a stock firmware.. Could that be the problem?

I have the SAME problem! SU ok but the phone reboots to the stock recovery.... My firmware is original... What I do now?
Sorry, but VROOT threads are being closed by the moderation team because they appear to be collecting information off of devices. So, until this method is verified to be working safely and without malware, I would advise everyone not to use this method. Please report them to the moderation team.
Thanks!
I'm throwing in the towel and asking for help. I have been trying to root my GT-P5210 for 2 weeks following various guides. Where I currently am at is I have TWRP 2.6.1.0 installed. The four files I have been trying use are 1) Stock-GTP5210-4.2.2. 2) STOCK-deodexed-rooted-GTP5210-4.2.2. 3) Root P5210-P5200 4) Rest!3ssroot. These are all zip files and i can't seem to get any of them to work. Where I am currently at is I installed Stock-GTP5210-4.2.2.zip and it went successfully. I rebooted and I'm in this Samsung galaxy tab boot loop I can't get out of. I also just downloaded P5210XXUAMG6_P5210OXXAMG3_HOME.tar.md5. But not sure what to do with this. Unfortunately, I've played with this thing sooo much I'm not sure what state it's in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. P.S. I'm also in the US if that matters and it's wifi only.
Hi,
I will have your thread moved to your device section.

Hello guys , this is my first topic and I want to tell you how to customize your phone.
First : Rooting
You have to root before doing any thing , you can root your phone by a lot of ways
1- Rooting by PC , you can find alot of rooting programs that is very easy to use like : Kingo root, wondershare mobile Go , king root and a lot more , but the best tool is Kingo root for PC , you can download it from the official website
After downloading you have to install it and your phone usb drivers and enable USB debugging in developers options , then connect your phone to PC via USB cable
The click Root! , wait until the rooting is completed and you have a root!!
2- rooting without PC ,there are a lot of tools like King root, Kingo root , towelroot and framaroot and more , I prefer king root because it is supporting a huge list of devices , you can download it from the official site after downloading you have to check unknown sources from Applications settings before installing , once you did you can install it after installing open it and wait to check if there is a strategy for rooting your phone , if it is found one click on root and wait for it to complete rooting ,
3- installing SuperSU , SuperSU is the best root permissions management app , it is supporting a lot of languages and it is more safety then king root or Kongo root apps ,
You can download it from Play store or install it easily by a custom recovery ,
First download it from play store and open it and give it a root permission , then the app will install its binary and important files , if it is saying fails to install you can go to king root app and go to options then root options the clean root , it will uninstall its self then retry to update SuperSU binaries it should be installed now
Second : installing custom recovery,
If you have Samsung device then this will be very easy to you.
1 - by odin ROOT is not important , you have to download these files : Odin3.xx , Samsung drivers and your recovery file ,
[WARNING! ] you can't install other device recovery file even if it is the same in shape or model with few changes or this will brick you phone ,
How to install : shut down your device and put it into downloading mode by pressing power + volume down and home buttons in the same time , a warning press volume up button and connect your device via USB cable and open Odin by administrator , there will be a blue bar on options tabs , press on PDA or AP button and select your recovery file , the press start DONT disconnect the USB or your device will be damaged , a progress bar will appear on your phone screen , wait for few seconds and a PASS!! message in a green bar will appears in Odin , then you can disconnect you phone from USB , you can go into recovery by pressing power + volume up and home button s in the same time , you will find your self in recovery mode , there is different types of custom recoverys like clockworkmod (CWM) and Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) and Philz recovery and more , you can find your recovery file in some in xda forums , remember to you your correct recovery file and flashing it correctly ,
2 - With out PC (Root is required!) : download your correct recovery file in your phone and download any comprising app like AndroZip or zArchive , I prefer zArchive and flashing app like Flahfy or Mobile uncle tool or Rasht , after downloading the apps and your recovery file and flashing and archiving apps , go into zArchive or any other app and rename your recovery file which it is name with .tar.md5 at the last of its name with recovery.tar and click on file after renaming it and extract it , then go to flashing app like Rasht and click on recovery from SD card and select your recovery file and flash it , remember to give it root permission , now you have a custom recovery, you can flash a custom recovery by this method for any device
Like LG or HTC or any other device.
Third : installing custom ROMs :
Installing Custom ROMs is the coolest feature of custom recoveries , the rom is the operating system of your phone or tablet , you can find better ROM for your device and faster like CyanogenMod or AOSP or other custom ROMs which it is better than original ROM , you can go to CyanogenMod or AOSP website and search for your device , and download your phone or tablet custom ROM which its format is .zip ,
After downloading your ROM file shutdown your device and go into recovery mode by pressing power + volume up and home buttons , select install zip from SD card if the file is in your external SD card or install zip from internal SD card if it in internal storage , select your ROM file and flash it after flash is completed wipe cache and data the reboot your phone , you are in you new ROM now !!
you can get root permissions by flashing chain fire flash able zip file , you can download it from chainfire website .
Thank me if you liked this tutorial
Thanks
thanks it was useful for me to discover that CyanogenMod and AOSP are useful to search for. Im trying to seek out if there exists a C-rom for my old Asus tablet.
