karbonn tatinium s5 plus SP tool rom
Sonu….
Hi Aditya,
I have rooted & flashed cwm on my Titanium s9 with ur proper step by step guide. Thanks 4 nice works.
Next step will be custom ROM… Before that I gone through ur this article & found it 'must know' for future. So tried it but after removal of battery I couldn't find anything like Mtk 6589(for s9). In switch on condition phone is detected as ADB & Titanium s9 also… But no battery no change in device manager [- …
Is the process of stock ROM flash is different for s9? Also I have a lot of questions in my mind (just a biggener) for u bro… But it would be better one by one.
Thanks.
Sonu…
Sorry for mistake of name… (It was the keyboard… auto correct)
Hey,
This step is for those phone which doesn't respond to any activity likes completely dead. You have installed CWM as you mentioned above then you don't need to flash a rom through this method as its too complicated and is not meant for installing custom roms. Install Custom ROMS using this method : How to install custom ROMS I hope this helps you. You can find many roms for titanium S9 on this blog. Keep visiting !
Sonu…
Hi Ajinkya,
It helped.
Yes i can find many roms on this blog. I think this is the only blog which provides complete solution for karbonn…. Thanks for ur time & support.
But bro my volume key is not working at all so i can't navigate in recovery mod….. Is there any way, any app? I m dieing to flash a custom rom :))
Ya i have a solution for this download this App : Rebooter Grant root permissions to this app . Launch the app & Click on reboot to recovery. But before it Download this touch recovery : CTR Recovery
How to flash this file :
First download the file from the link & extract it on desktop….
Then open the exe file…
It will ask yes or no…
Yes…for auto…
&
No..for manually
Then connect your phone to pc…
And install drivers for your mobile..
Then if you click on yes… it will ask for some root permission just give it…..
If you click no…it will ask you to copy your stock "recovery.img" ….
Then your phone will be rebooted into recovery..and that's done enjoy…!!!
Hope this helps ! Keep visiting !
Thanks a lot bro.. It works. Also tried ur xperia z2 rom.. Its awesome….. 🙂 Now wanna try Android L rom… but again need ur help.
In CTR RECOVERY mode touch did not work. I can navigate up and down With home key(no matter, ok with it) but cant go back after entering into an option so each time i had to remove battry then again power on & then again boot into Recovery. Any updated vers. Of CTR RECOVERY? OR TWRP FOR TITANIUM S9 (Jelly Bean 4.2.2)…
Once again thanks for made me smile….
Try installing TWRP recovery : TWRP for S9. Please reviews of ROMS below the ROM post as it helps others.
Tried it… But during process got warning "your recovery partition is only 6291456, ported TWRP might be oversize & cause to loose the IMEI".
Anyway I keep continue but at the end got a pop-up "Aborting… Ported recovery.img is too large & causes region overlap."
Now what to do bro?
Hi Ajinkya….
Please Let me know one thing… I want to flash Android L rom. According to process you mentioned i have to wipe all data, cache & dalvic cache… after this can i remove my battery & restart phone to flash zip (because as you know touch do not work in my phone during recovery so i can't go back to flash zip at the same time).
I just want to know after wiping all data, cache, dalvic cache will my phone boot safely? Is it safe to proceed like this way?
Thanks 4 helping.
Yes it would work perfectly after doing Clear cache & data. What i recommend you is don't do all those stuffs as this rom works perfectly for Titanium S9 so directly install zip from SDcard. Hope this works, Keep visiting !
i have problem with my lenovo a2107a-h the naned flash was not detected , i want install the original flash rom , i installed it but i did not find the scatter file how i could flash this kind of rom .
