Hi i rooted my Samsung galaxy W gti850 i downloaded an app called ROM toolbox pro.
i havent installed any custom ROM i just rooted my phone to download some apps then as i browse the ROM toolbox i tried the Theme Manager installed a theme, i knew to myself i load a backup file. the theme wasnt worked on my phone because it says i need to have CM7 but i dont wanna try installing it because i wasnt knowledgeable about those stuff.

HI,
You may refer to below thread on how to restore your phone to stock, im still a newbie, so this is all i can advice, or you may wait for other replies that would be much easier to do..

For the roms needed, you may find them on below link.

Just to add: have you tried FACTORY RESET on setting?
POST UPDATED!
Hey guys I m new to xda forums and today i m gonna tell u all about Karbonn A1+.I decided to post this thread
cause not many people know about this phone and r complaining that they want to root this phone but z4root is not
working.
Karbonn A1+ is a good but not great phone and to unlock its full potential You will need to have done these
things:-
1.Rooted your phone - To do this you will need to download ICS Root Unlocker. Link -
http://www.mediafire.com/?aqtk58y13xoqjvd
Firstly download the software.Then connect your phone to the PC and put it in USB Debugging mode.Let your PC
install the drivers required.Then press any key once drivers r installed and ur phone will reboot.After ur phone is booted into home screen then press any key once again.Repeat this process for 3-4 times until the ics root unlocker window closes and ur phone has superuser in the app drawer.Congrats now you have rooted ur phone!!!I mean ADB Drivers by drivers coz the drivers for this phone on windows 8 and 7 r not available... Now lets proceed to the next step....
2.Install ROEHSOFT RAMEXPANDER - I highly recommend this software for this phone cause it does not have
much RAM and some games force close automatically like Temple Run.Link for download -
http://gallery.mobile9.com/f/3242181/ Now after installing it open it and allow superuser permissions.
Now adjust the slider of the swapfile as desired and click Swap Activ button.Be patient as creating swapfile takes
some time.After its done you will have more RAM than ever and u will be able to run many more apps and games...Now
the last step but not the least is..............
3.Install Chainfire 3d 3.3 - If you guys wanna play high end games like Brothers In Arms 2,NFS Shift,DEAD
SPACE,NOVA etc install this software and the plugins. Link for download of Plugins -
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-cfe8aed2.html Link for download of apk -
http://www.datafilehost.com/download-4a5000b4.html CHAINFIRE 3D Installation Guide : Download Chainfire 3D 3.3 Pro
then install. Download Plug-ins file, unpack it in SD.Open chainfire3D then allow superuser.Select the CF 3D
Driver, and then Install. Phone will restart.NOTE- If Chainfire 3d is not in the app drawer after reboot just
install it once again.Then follow these steps.Start the Chainfire 3D and select the item Install plugin.Wait till
it finds plug-ins .zip file .Install all plugins found and then Select Fix market settings.Fix market settings
displays the apps that r not compatible with ur phone but r compatible with da graphics plugins in the play store.
After this, go to Default OpenGL settings -> Use plugin. Choose any plugin your game requires. Minimize
Chainfire3D. Now you can play most of the HD games on your phone without lags....
I hope you find my thread useful.Please hit the thanks bar if it helps and feel free to ask questions if any...

Hey can u tell me what type of error r u getting???
Error
Ok, so i tried like many times, but it dint work....i am attaching a copy of the cmd in here. Brother please help me out. My configuration is exactly the same as yours...phone is 1 week old, but i need more ram to play temple run and subway surfers.
Dude, i have tried every thing, but nothing works for me....now i saw your thread was created on 9 june, and i thought that i could see a ray of hope...but now it's gone...bro, plz plz plz help me out.. tell me everything you did...like where you got the drivers from and all that...and if possible, can you make a videos of the cmd as it goes on to complete the root?
man you will do us all a GREAT favor if you can include all those details...and again..i am only requesting brother, but please help......
yes exactly
yes exactly the same message i got as posted by ankush... now i believe my phone doesnot have any problem, someone else have the same MOdel .
well in my understand it is due to locked root access and dont know how to access them, also surprisingly none of any developer looking this case as i have sen many posts related to karbonn a1+ rooting and 80 are unsuccessful cases. and those who rooted their devices they have 2.0.0 or 2.0.2 version models.... we have 2.0.8 version which seems more secured
Chetan: brother please give us some tips. :fingers-crossed:
please see

I did clean install of adb drivers (forgot the thread :banghead: ) then I followed ch3tan's thread for rooting using shaume.
It was simple and straight till I saw one chinese app. I did a check by installing titanium backup. It was stuck at "asking root permissions".
I thought it was a fail and again connected to pc for unrooting.
But then i saw another app popped in phone. There were four tabs and in setting tab root option was disabled(grey). Just enabled it (green) and yay! Titanium backup started! A chinese message box appeared for confirmation, just pressed left button(without any delay) and first thing I did was kicking *** of bloatwares.
I didnt see any blue thing.
Edit: There's a blue icon appear in status bar. Just ignore it. Clear it.

Did you disabled USB Debugging? If yes, then enable it, restart phone and try to enable root option again. Also enable the option below root. Dont know what that means but its enabled in my phone.
This was once happened with me too.

I am now consdering myself lucky.
I gained root access in one shot.
I think its not about s/w version.
I learned that there are other drivers than adb. The phone also connects in serial mode.
The driver installation file which I got is about 12 mb. And installs all drivers at click of button.
Are all drivers successfully installed?
Just try without internet enabled.
Or keep phone connected to pc and enable root.
Which app you are using to confirm root as I used titanium backup.
I have attached details of my phone.
H/w version at back is 4.0.0

Look at the last few no.s of the first line and the first few of the second line under your software version...its 2.0.2....mine is 2.0.8....it seems that after Karbonn updated the software, it has become utterly impossible to root it....
Anyways...thanks for helping me and hope you have tons of fun with your rooted phone

I am brand new to android and recently rooted my M8. I was trying to change the /system/customize/acc/default.xml to hide the NFC icon and when I attempted to save the file the phone rebooted and later asked if I wanted to send HTC an error report.
I have tried this with several file managers which all have root priveleges. It seems as though this happens when trying to modify anything in /system. Am I missing something obvious?

I did the mod that exists currently and while it makes the icon transparent it still takes up space on the status bar. I was trying to set the nfc_show_icon setting to zero. Nothing is screwed up I just can't change the file.
yea i tried to install xposed and it did the same thing, at least i didn't have to restore my backup, but curious that the phone reboots and restores when system is modified...
the m8 has system write protection, wait for an insecure kernel/module to be made or use custom recovery and adb to make changes within /system
I have a note 2 and have polaris office 4 on it. I love it. I can actually write on and highlight powerpoints, which I need for classes. I also have the 10.1 2014 polaris office 5. I tried to copy and install the office 4 version to my tablet and it just opens and shuts down right away. Is there anyway I can get v4 to run on my tablet? v5 doesn't allow for saving of ppts after they've been written on like v4 does. I contacted the developer but they didn't understand what I was asking. :/ I am rooted.
See , follow this method . Your Note II must be rooted and there must be root explorer installed on it . And you note 10.1 also must be rooted and root explorer must be installed on it . Then , open root explorer on note 2 and go to system/apps/find here polaris office.apk and polaris office.odex and send both of them via bluetooth to your tab . Now , on your tab , copy the .apk and .odex which you recieved from note 2 and open root explorer and go to system/apps/replace both .apk and .odex and set the permissions to rw--r-- . Done . Enjoyyyyyyy!!!!!!!
Don't forget to press thanks If I helped you in anyway .

On other devices preloaded with Polaris there is also 2-3 lib files needed aswell. And maybe some build prop editing to remove incompabillity warning.
Not sure here.
Thanks

Wont work for you on N10 with Polaris 4. When you copy the proper libs in order to work you will still have a "warning message" over screen that this version is not supported for this device. You should then rename in b.prop your device as a Note 2 device where from you have those Polaris 4 apks/libs. But with this you will screw other things on your original N10 rom.

I didn't get that message. At first I got the app has stopped message so I rebooted the N10 thinking that might fix it. Now it just opens the splash screen and shuts down. No other error message.

1. You need Polaris 4 libs in order not to shutdown the app.
2, When you will place those libs into system of your N10 - it will run but...
3. ...it will run with dimmed warning message over whole screen that makes hard to use the app - saying that P4 is not compatible on your N10 device. Please contact support or something like that
4. If you still want to run it without that message in order to use it, rename in build prop your N10 to be a N2 device but...
5. ...but when you rename in b.prop you want be able to use Polaris 5 then (same message will appear) and maybe more other features the are tighten to your Note 10 device.
