Hey guys,
First of all I hav to say that this is a gr8 forum... Though this is my first post, i hav been a Guest for a long time...
I recently brought a Karbonn A21... I rooted it using "droidiser micromax-a110-rooted-how-to-guide" because I just could not get the drivers to install properly by following any other guide... And then installed CWM-based Recovery using "droidextra install-clockworkmod-on-karbonn-a21"... And then finally attempted to install DarkBoid ROM by Santo_Rock... I did everything alright... My mistake was that i transferred the .zip file to the ext. sd card and not the internal one... :crying: and then like a smart ass i went ahead wiping data and cache and all without taking backup (Yeah, I know, am a BONEHEAD...:angel: ). Now the phone goes into recovery mode and fastboot mode and even charges but gets stuck at the logo screen while booting normally... I looked around a bit for ideas to fix it but nothing seems to go properly... I would really appreciate some help... Any ideas or suggestions?
Regards,
AKS.
no. There is nothing better. U could do. Cuz there is no PC suite for karbonn. So better option is to take it to the service centre.

Its probably bricked.
There is a thread here to unbrick it. You can try that.
The unbrick thread wont do anything.. There's no way to revive the phone when u use ROM manager.. U need to sent it to warranty..
Another sad case of rom manager. Lol
Btw it probably bricked.. if couldnt even boot into download mode, u can try to use usb jig

Oh my god, you bricked your phone!!
YOU CAN'T USE ROM MANAGER IN THIS PHONE!!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT????
I hope you still have the warranty....

You have to say that you had a problem with the phone (for example wifi or SOD) and you did a factory reset. Then the phone never restart again.
Never says you rooted the phone, just says "I did a factory reset"
I had the same problem. Went to the service center & made up a story & got my ace repaired without paying a single rupee.

just send it to the service center ... the same thing happend with my ace.. i got the mothrbord replaced under warranty.. don tel them that u were messing up with the phone... and also dont mention about the root and all.. u will get warranty.. chill..
This is lesson for us all. We should read through the threads and all the comments if we are not sure of what we are doing. Me myself gave almost 2 weeks just reading threads about rooting and upgrading just to make sure i wont brick my ace.
Ace is my first android phone btw.

When will u people learn??? ROM MANAGER WILL BRICK UR PHONE!!
Guess some people need to learn the hard way huh..
First try to boot into dowload mode and flash via odin.
If cannot even boot into download mode, service centre is ur only solution. just send to them and made up story eg ur phone brick after upgrade using kies. Dont ever mention about rooting, installing custom rom etc etc.

VillianRom running on Ace?
Hey Guys...i would like to know if the VillianRom can run on the ace without bricking it...btw i had read the comments posted online but my trust level 2 that is some what low...
hi experts,
first of all thank youfor taking a look at my prob.
i am using grand quattro rooted with stock rom.
i have been using it since 4 months or so..
dont know what came in my mind and i had a thought to remove stock apps like CHAT ON, PLAY BOOKS, PLAY MOVIES, HANG OUTS..
SO I STARTED playing with TITANIUM BACK UP PRO.
and
0. took back up using titanium.
1. made each of them USER APP in place of system app.
2. opened home screen and uninstalled one by one..
.
while doing so i could see ROM memory free space increased from 27 mb to 42mb.
i thought as if i was making my fone LIGHT WEIGHT...
.
and nothing was wrong until i started playing with YAHOO FINANCE & YAHOO STOCK..
i cud not see option to make them USER APP only option i had was REMOVE WITH RECOVERY ....SOMETHING LIKE THAT..
i hit OK and it said WILL ERASE COMPLETELY AFTER 2 REBOOTS..
again i pressed OK...
.
i repent on those last words...as problem was avoidable i think till then...
.
so..then fon rebooted thrice and went into clockwork mode after samsung logo...
.
i thought its ok...i can handle it and wiped cache and dalvik cache and removed battery..
.
again i was in cwm recovery...
.
i was trapped prevously in such bootloop while playing with xposed.. power menu... so i thought i cud handle it like before and tried to reflash cwm using odin..and guess what? my ODIN NOW COULD NOT DETECT FONE (i had put it on bootloader mode, ya..) i mean i cud not see COM port there and cud not flash cwm to break bootloop.
.
.
so tried one thing and placed previously made ROM BACKUP (using cwm) into ext sd card and flashed that with cwm restore back up option..
.
nope. it didnt work either.
though it said restore complete i was still in cwm loop.
.
i tried installing adb drivers and samsung drivers and kies all of them...on laptop but still odin is not detecting COM PORT.
.
and ya i had updated my windows 8 x64 before 4 days....
.
i dont know what to do... plz help me yaar..

I am having exactly the same problem with a galaxy i8552 win Quattro. Infinite loops with cwm and not detected at all by any windows (three different computers). Finally your post gave me the idea... And is that seem that is not the same starting with the special combination of keys to enter in the downloading mod, that within crw requesting in the application to reboot in downloading mod.
Quattro CWM looping
Hello Gurus,
Mine is Galaxy Grand Quattro. I have rooted my phone with CWM Recovery 6.0.4.5 via Odin3 v3.07 two days back. I was looking to upgrade my 4.1 to any available, so I have install an online app from playstore called CyanDelta Updater and run the application. I gave Superuser permission and got popup Supports TWRP and CWM, i clicked on continue. After restart, my phone is loading with SAMSUNG logo and goes to CWM Recovery screen.
I tried to wipe the Data/factory reset /Cache/System. I even tried to go with Odin, but my USB is not detecting in my laptop.
Could someone kindly advise how I can revert it back. Or any way i can access to mobile System files to delete the installed CYANDelta updater from my laptop or any other way.
Kindly help me out in booting my Quattro
Got back my original state
Hello All,
I was searching for solution for my CMW recovery loop. But finally I had to go back to Samsung Kies.
I have opted for Firmware Upgrade and Initialization and it went to Software upgrade and installed all to default to my Quattro. Moreover, it is showing as Official in About Device - Status, Earlier it was showing as Custom. I dont if it work or not if i go for warranty as I still have 7 months warranty left.
Thank you for the forms. I love this XDA and lot appreciate everyone here. It has helped me do various setps on my 3 old android devices.
Have a good day guys and Dev Gururs.

I Recently Rooted my Kogan agora HD and the phone was fine for a few weeks, but yesterday in the after noon just as i tapped on an app e.g. temple run. my phone crashed. I've tried all the normal things but the phone is almost not responding to anything. the phone is exactly the same as the micromax a116. Boot mode, doesn't work so i believe it is completely hard bricked.

Are you able to enter recovery mode?
A few days ago, my rooted Samsung S2 running NeatROM crashed and was stuck in a bootloop - for no apparent reason (it was rooted ages ago.. I still don't know what caused the crash).
In the end, I was able to enter recovery mode and by wiping the cache+dalvik and flashing the same ROM I had already been using, I was able to boot back into my phone. If flashing & wiping doesn't work, you might have to do a factory reset and flash the ROM again.
Sadly no...

I Have Tried Boot/recovery Mode but sadly it dosent work, The only way I can Kind of access the phone is by using a Micromax Canvas A116 Flash Program. I pull out the batterie and the computer recognises the phone (but i cant see the files) And I can push files onto the phone.
I dont think the phone is compleatly hardbricked But it is pretty close.
I'm thinking of buying a Micro usb Jack (I think its called that) but im not sure it will work on my phone.
Please Help

I'm a bit confused. What do you mean with you cannot flash from internal/external card? Can you still boot into recovery and if yes is it one which is able to flash something?
What happens if you try to put your phone into download mode? Can Odin detect your phone?

Hi
I need your help. I was tinkering around with a Micromax 121/Cherry Mobile Omega Icon. Some how i tried to boot it to TWRP by using the Flashify , but somehow i got into a bootloop. Now its not booting up. I tried to clear all data and reset but it was not working as well. Tried to wipe data (this one i think i made a big mistake). and now its stuck on the logo. I can access the recovery mode but its seems that i'm dead end.
Any of you guys can give me any idea on how to fix this ??
PS : The USB is not working also so i cannot connect it to my computer. I'm trying to find a fix just by using a SD card.
Thanks
you solved the problem?? im in the similar situation and dont know what to do :'(
