I don't think restoring nandroid data will work... Because....as u can see there are two two folders inside root/data/.......by restoring data from recovery will first wipes current root/data content and writes content from backup....so no dual-system!!! Hope you understand....tell me whether u have installed dual system? If so once see inside root/data /....u will get it!

Great, Thanks for info, will try after my exams, one again Thank You Very Much.

@as9333
i guess we can switch between system 1 & 2 from recovery itself.. just flash the zip and explore through its aroma installer and see theres that option to switch...

Note 2: U can switch to system of ur choice from recovery...by flashing HM1s-system-menu.zip...there u will c an option to switch system...hope u understand if u had read the procedure with a bit of pathence!

figured it out myself,for everybody else
won't format external sd card
and apps will be installed separately

Maybe some mistakes in step 2. The dev recommended unmount system, data and cache before installed Dual-System (doesn't matter really). Some user may need install it twice to success for unknown factors. And as I know on earlier versions, after you installed Dual-System, both partitions are empty. You need to flash a rom to system 1. But I haven't try v1.3 yet so I don't know if anything changed.
The tutorial seems so long but it's very reasonable to proceed.
1. (unnecessary for the 1st time) recover your phone's status - flash sysrec.zip
2. install the dual-boot system - flash into aroma and choose the option
3. flash a rom to current (1st) system - flash it in recovery
4. (optional but recommended) install a switcher in the rom - install it in the aroma, caution the options, don't choose the wrong system
5. switch to system2 - switch directly in the aroma, or [ boot your phone to use the switcher app (after that plz press vol+ to enter recovery because system2 is empty now)]
6. flash another rom to current (2nd) system - just flash it in recovery, it will be in system2
7. (optional but recommended) install a switcher in the rom - install it in the aroma, caution the options, don't choose the wrong system
now you have dual system installed.
For changing between systems, use the switcher (if installed) or change in the aroma installer.
For replacing a rom, switch to the rom you unwanted, and reboot to recovery and flash the new one.
For clear data, don't use recovery,it will clear both. Use the aroma (change to the system you want to clear data and choose clear current).
For miui user, special for miui is actually for miui 6 because /system/app can't get root permission in miui 6.
For uninstall, do it in aroma and then flash sysrec.zip

The download link work but the file .img is damaged and so don't work !
... No, it's not broken. Either your internet is failing to download the file, or you failed to read instructions and made an idiot mistake. Since we can't help your ISP, let's assume the latter. Please tell us detailed steps you've taken.

I'm operating with windows 8 ..And when i try to open file (.img) it say: Damaged File
I've try to download more times but it is the same..
My problem isn't this ...When i finish to follow the steps (flash kernel and rom recommended) the phone don't start ...Start but only the written sony and autoreboot ...What's wrong?
I follow this step
Downloads/Installation
Please Nandroid backup before flashing. I am not responsible for any permanent damage or data loss. I try my best not to wreck your stuff though
If you are running Turbo r8 or older, the partition map has changed (30MB moved from data to system). You MUST Nandroid Backup before flashing the r9 update, then Nandroid restore after flashing. Otherwise you WILL lose your data.
GSM ONLY - You must have a vendor-unlocked partition layout - this only needs to be done once, if you have flashed my MIUI Australia ROM in the past or an official Neo L FTF, you already have it and can skip this step. If not, flash this full FTF first which is the same as .64 FTF but with the required vendor partition to format the unallocated space (it will completely wipe your phone) - R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor.ftf on Google Drive
CDMA ONLY - No need to flash any FTF, it seems R800x already has an unlocked vendor partition.
Ensure your ROM is less than 310MB system size. If you are not sure or don't know how to check, contact your ROM builder.
Download and flash the kernel -
Turbo Kernel r12
First-time users - Enter Multiboot Menu (Vol-Down key) and go to Internal > Recovery, then format system, data and cache before doing anything else. Very important.
If you cannot enter the Boot Menu or Recovery after flashing, you need to flash the FTF first.

What do you mean tried to open.img file?This is the boot file to fastboot to phone you don't need to open it! I am using it at the moment from same link no problems.Also try this "Using Fastboot may trigger a "boot menu loop" - simply enter CWM-Recovery for any slot and then select reboot to solve it."That quote is from CosmicDan page.I would suggest reading his instuctions again.:fingers-crossed:

[MEGA]Titanium S1,Cherry Flame2.0,KTouch U86 Kiss,Archos 45 Platinum

Hello Everybody!!
Recently when going through the xda forums for the devices Karbonn Titanium S1, Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0, K-Touch Hornet u86 kiss , I noticed that a lot of people have questions regarding Stock rom, Recovery rooting and Solutions for Brick.However most of the posts have been left unanswered or died for some reason.
Hence I decided to open a thread that can be used to solve general problems and issues regarding the Device.
NOTE:- Archos 45 Platinum too has similar device specifications.The same CWM version worked for @best98 who is using an Archos 45 Platinum.
Tip:Using CWM touch recovery
When using the CWM Touch recovery you may notice that it is not really working properly and that touch is not doing anything. The fact is the touch is being registered and that the touch method is different than normal android because of limited drivers in recovery.
The working
Use one finger touch to scroll
Use two finger touch to select item
Installing a Recovery Menu
Using PC
1) Install the Mobile Drivers.
2) Download Minimal ADB And fastboot [Windows users] Linux and Mac users might have to download the whole Android sdk as of now.
3) Download the recovery you want from the attachments below.
4) Rename them to recovery.img after extracting and copy it to a folder of know location.
5) Boot your device into fastboot mode.i.e Power on your mobile by pressing and holding Power button and vol+ Key.until you see A green screen.
6) Connect your device to the PC and open Minimal ADB and fastboot
7) Run the command " fastboot flash recovery C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\RECOVERY.IMG".
Without the quotes replace C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\ with the location where you extracted recovery.img.
8) Wait untill it completes and VOILA new recovery installed.
Note: In case you want to preserve your stock recovery, run the command "fastboot boot C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\RECOVERY.IMG"
Without the quotes replace C:\USERS\MYNAME\DESKTOP\ANDROID\ with the location where you extracted recovery.img.
Using Mobile
Simple Method.
Just install the TACK Manager from here and install the recovery .Enjoy .
Not so simple method
Download the flashable recoveries from Below and flash it through CWM Or TWRP [Yes, you need custom recovery for this to flash]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rooting Your Device
Method 1: Through CWM/TWRP
1) Download the SuperSU package provided below.
2) Copy it to the root of your SDCard
3) Select Install zip from SDCard
Method 2:Through Framaroot
Personally I Did not get any success by this method.But lot of users reported it to to work by using the Gandalf exploit.
Also some versions of framaroot work better on some devices as compared to others.So maybe just have to check which version works for our Mobile.
1) Download and install Framaroot.apk
2) On the exploits list select Gandalf
3) It'll probably crash the first time and apparently work the second time you launch it.
As I Am not sure which version of framaroot works for this mobile hence no upload

Reserved
Flashing Roms and Fix Soft brick
1) Copy Rom to SDCard
2) Boot into Recovery by Powering on while holding power and vol+ Button.Initially you'll see a green screen...Keep holding untill the screen turns red.
3) Goto Mounts and storage and format /Cache and /Data. Format /SYSTEM if installing new rom.
4) Goto Advanced and format Dalvik Cache
5) Select Apply Zip from SD Card
6) Select zip file of rom to install and wait.
7) Reboot and voila.
Note:This is assuming you are using CWMR
Note: Do not format /SYS_BOOT Partition.You'll end up bricking your device and then will not be able to boot into Fastboot mode.
If this happens by mistake.Follow the next Guide.

Fixing RESET FOR ENTRY QPST DOWNLOAD
In case you end up Formatting /SYS_BOOT Partition then you'll most likely end up in this.There might be few other cases when this can happen but none that i am aware of.
If you Have a Linux Desktop
If you have access to Linux PC then connect your mobile to it and mount the partition which is around 50 MB. Download the Images.zip from below.unzip the file and copy the whole folder to the 50 MB partition.
Your File structure should look something like this
-\50MBPartition
-\image
-\AMSS.MBN
-\AMSSHD.MBN​
If you have Windows

DISCLAIMER:
This fix worked for me. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE, YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! Please do the process step-by-step. DON'T SKIP any step as I don't know what will happen and there's a possibilty that your phone will be dead permanently.

Hi,
Great to read that.. at least after crawling the web and finding that Karbon S5 is equivalent to Archos 50 Platinum.. I find from the specs that this Karbonn S1 is the same as the Archos 45 Platinum that I own.
Specs are : here for the Archos 45..
http://www.archos.com/gb/products/smartphones/platinum/archos_45platinum/specs.html?#a
Finally.. I can't wait to see Cyanogen on it.. maybe a chance to have a CM11 ?

**** [ROM] [PORT] [Sony Xperia C] To Lenovo S920 ****

i don’t know why many people likes this xperia rom user interface, but i’m ported many of them in recent weeks. My friend send to me this device and asking vigorously to create an xperia ported for it just like i did for his Lenovo S920. As usual, i only had some free time at the weekend to do my hobbies, but it looks like he doesn’t mind to lend his for couple of days, so … ok. enough. here we go i share the result for all.
Features :
Android 4.2.2 with 3.4.5 kernel
Rooted, busybox, fully deodexed, zipaligned
rooted boot.img
init.d support + busybox run parts
gps, bt, hsdpa tweak
more languages
all sensors and peripherals working
Superuser
… something i forgot to list
Known issues :
No issues. If Any Tell Me.
Here we go the custom rom :
And here is the steps to flash this custom rom :
Requirement and Preparation :
Read this thoroughly :
Your warranty is now void !!!
I am not responsible if you brick your phone, get stuck in a bootloop, or if your phone grows arms and tries to kill you. Flash at your own risk!
Please do some research if you have any concerns about risk of flashing a custom rom before continuing! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you!!
If you have any other objection, don’t bother to comment, just close this page!
This custom rom needs a custom recovery to flashed into the device, if you haven’t got it, i already build them too. Flash it to your device using mobileuncletool or SPFT, i don’t cover the how to on this article but i’m sure you can easily find it on the net.
Flashing Process :
Download Section:-
MEGA : Download
4Shared : Download
The steps to flash this custom rom is pretty straight forward :
Download the custom rom from link above and copy it to the root of your sdcard, you may check it first with your file manager to confirm it was there. There are two sdcard storage on this device, so you must know it’s at the internal sdcard or external sdcard. I prefer you to put this on external sdcard to avoid any difficulties.
Boot into recovery mode by turning off your phone, hold down Volume + button then press power button, hold them both until you see axioo logo on screen then release it. Wait a sec or two … then you’ll be in recovery mode.
BACKUP your stock rom and data using BACKUP feature, make sure you use external storage as destination because this backup is relatively big.
Choose Wipe Data / Factory reset and execute it.
Choose Wipe cache partition and execute it
Choose Wipe Dalvik Cache and execute it
Go back to main menu, and choose Install
It will open a list of file on your sdcard, choose the custom rom zip file that you put on step 1 and flash it.
After the installation completed, choose Reboot System
Done
cant find the download attachment

Rooting Canvas 4 A210 : (By V.K.A)
A Simple Youtube Video
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing CWM recovery
THROUGH SP FLASH TOOLS
Install the canvas4 drivers
Download and install SP flash tools to your PC also download and extract the Flashable CWM
Open Flash_tool.exe
Click Scatter-loading
Select MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt (for Canvas 4) found in extracted CWM
Click Download button or press F9
Shutdown your Canvas 4 and connect it with Micro USB to PC running the Flash Tool
See it flashing before your eyes and wait for a green circle to show up on your PC to indicate successful flashing.
Restart phone and Done!
THROUGH MOBILE UNCLE TOOLS(requires root...chk rooting procedure below)
download mobile uncle CWM..extract it and transfer RECOVERY.img to your phone's sd card
download mobile uncle toolkit from playstore and open it
select "update recovery" option and select the recovery.img file in your SD card
restart phone and done!
Rooting Canvas4
USING EXPLOIT:
using an exploit means using an available loophole in the firmware to root...this is done automatically by softwares like MOTOCHOPPER and FRAMAROOT
MOTOCHOPPER
Download MOTOCHOPPER and extract it to a folder in your PC
connect your phone to PC via USB cable
open the folder containing motochopper and start run.bat
a command prompt window will open...just follow onscreen steps
your mobile will reboot in some time....and DONE!!
FRAMAROOT(easiest method to root)
download framaroot app from the xda link given above
install framaroot and start the app
follow onscreen instructions
reboot phone done!NOTE: ROOTING WORKS WITH FRAMAROOT VERSION 1.5 and abv
WITHOUT USING EXPLOIT: this method doesnt use a loophole but forces the root on your device...which means this method is always successful...however you need CWM installed for this method...which can be easily installed using SP flash tools(see above)
FLASHING SUPERSU
install CWM by using the method of SP flash tool
download supersu.zip from above links transfer it to your SD card
boot into recovery using mobile uncle(just select boot into recovery option from the app) OR power off phone...turn it back on while holding both the volume keys along with the power key to boot into recovery
select "install zip from sdcard" "choose zip from sd card"
select supersu.zip and select select yes
reboot phone from the recovery main menu...DONE you are rooted!
Flashing a ROM
Through CWM Recovery
download the rom you want to download from the ROM list given below and transfer the zip file to sdcard
boot into recovery
wipe cache partition
wipe data/factory reset
advanced->clear dalvik cache
mounts and storage->format /system
select "install zip from sdcard"...."choose zip from sdcard" and select the zip file of the rom you just copied
after flashing finishes, reboot phone...the first booth after flashing every rom takes a long time...wait patiently....DONE...enjoy your new ROM!
THROUGH SP FLASH TOOL
same procedure as flashing CWM....just replace CWM with the downloaded SP FLASHABLE ROM
4> Unrooting Canvas4*
open supersu app in your app drawer
goto SETTINGS tab
select full unroot
restart phone and done
*just unrooting your phone wont put it back into warranty...you need to get it to absolute stock factory level to claim any warranty so BEFORE unrooting the phone
just flash the stock rom using SP flash tools from given link
##### Another mention: taking backup of your ROM using CWM
this can be important as if you mess up while using a custom rom or you end up in a soft brick..you can recover using the backup of your ROMi advise that after installing CWM you should first make a backup of your STOCK ROM so that you can have access ti full stock unroot anytime(just restore the stock back up and unroot using supersu...easy isnt it!! no need of dwlding any stock rom)to make backup
boot into CWM recovery
goto backup and restore
create backup->yes
reboot...done!the backup files are stored in internal memory/clockwork folderkeep a copy of this folder in your PC at all times for any emergency that may arise in future(make sure you delete this folder while sending the phone for servicing under warranty)
to restore the backup
boot into recovery
select backup and restore
select restore->date if the recovery
reboot done!

WHAT IS ROOTING???(credits to Amit Taksali sir for this info)
ROOTING : WHAT IS IT?
The act of rooting is similar to yourself giving administrator privileges( as in your windows OS).
You gain access to root directory in system partition. In other words you gain total control on your device.
You may be familiar with Windows OS on your PC, so with windows or linux OS you have got guest user and an administrator. On your android device that you get out of the box the android OS comes only with guest user privileges and all the restrictions of it.
To gain access to administrator privileges and access system folder on your android device you need to root and this act is called ROOTING.
WHY TO ROOT?
If you dont have any other reason to root you should do it for the power of back ups. Tf something goes wrong with your device we normally do a factory-reset and will loose all our data and apps.
Setting-up your device again would be painstakingly boring and repetitive. Today we have various forms of back-ups that help us to restore our device as it was working perfectly before(for ex: an app named TITNIUM BACKUP gives you complete control on your apps).
After rooting flashing a custom recovery will help us a lot to make an nandroid backup of the complete ROM. The major benefit of flashing custom recovery is when flashing custom roms ad other customizations to our current rom. We can make an nandroid backup so that if something goes wrong , all we have to do is restore the nandroid backup and we still have a working device as it was before. We can also remove unwanted bloatware(pre-installed system apps) from our device and free up some space for other usefull apps.
Custom roms and custom recovery are more popular reasons for rooting. The best part of custom roms is that it can breath a new life to your ageing device and also boost the performance. Overclocking your cpu to get max performance can be done by rooting. If your burning through your battery you can undervolt the kernel and underclock the processor, to increase the battery life at the cost of performance.
There are tons of applications that requires root access such as TITANIUM BACKUP, ROOT EXPLORER, WIFI KILL, AD-FREE etc which comes with lots of power.
Now we may wonder why does the manufacturer holds back root access????????????
Most android users are influenced by the software or the user interface(UI) that the manufacturer applies on top of the vanilla android or pure android. Take an example of galaxy s3 and s4.
The manufacturer will provide the latest version of android on their latest device(s4) rather than an older device(s3). They may also hold back an update for older s3. By rooting we can get latest android through custom roms on our older devices(s3) which may attract the customers to buy cheaper s3 than s4. The manufacturers do not want to loose these customers and that is why they hold back root access.
By rooting our device we can also get the latest updates to our device before the manufacturer provides it officially. Sometimes the manufacturer stops updates for older devices as google did for galaxy nexus. But there are many custom roms that have provided the latest kitkat to those devices.
Here we have a huge benefit that the developers of custom roms are not held by any restrictions like the device manufacturers.
For example samsung can never provide you with beats audio or bravia engine to your samsung devices, but we can enjoy the awesome beats audio as well as bravia engine using custom roms.
They will provide you with custom roms that will give these special effects on your device.
WHAT ABOUT WARRANTY AND HARD BRICKS???
Most of the people are hindering to root their device because of damage to warranty. This is not an issue at all as you can completely UNROOT your device back to stock and send ot for warranty without any issues. Personall I have sent my canvas hd without any issues any problems and got it repaired many times .
Speaking about breaking your device, the chances are pretty slim. It mostly happens only when we dont follow correct instructions while flashing roms or playing with the root access. I the chances of bricking device are less than 0.1% once again if you get stuck on bootloop or something like that there are lots of developers on XDA and other forums who will help you to come out of these problems and restore your device to working coditions.
At the end of the day its your money, you have paid for it. When you cant take a PC with only guest user access then why take it with android. Use yor device completely and explore the complete power of android.
HAPPY ROOTING.
CUSTOM ROMScustom roms are modded systems/OS that are made for our device....these can improve our device's performance or looks.....different custom roms have different features...some are faster while some bring another device's UI to our device...advantages of custom rom-renews the cell if you are bored with the old softwares-in case of canvas4...some games dont work on the stock rom...so a custom rom comes in handy if you are a gamerdisadvantages-not all custom roms are perfect...there are certain bugs present in each...

WITHOUT USING EXPLOIT: this method doesnt use a loophole but forces the root on your device...which means this method is always successful...however you need CWM installed for this method...which can be easily installed using SP flash tools(see above)
FLASHING SUPERSU
install CWM by using the method of SP flash tool
download supersu.zip from above links transfer it to your SD card
boot into recovery using mobile uncle(just select boot into recovery option from the app) OR power off phone...turn it back on while holding both the volume keys along with the power key to boot into recovery
select "install zip from sdcard" "choose zip from sd card"
select supersu.zip and select select yes
reboot phone from the recovery main menu...DONE you are rooted!
Flashing a ROM
Through CWM Recovery
download the rom you want to download from the ROM list given below and transfer the zip file to sdcard
boot into recovery
wipe cache partition
wipe data/factory reset
advanced->clear dalvik cache
mounts and storage->format /system
select "install zip from sdcard"...."choose zip from sdcard" and select the zip file of the rom you just copied
after flashing finishes, reboot phone...the first booth after flashing every rom takes a long time...wait patiently....DONE...enjoy your new ROM!
THROUGH SP FLASH TOOL
same procedure as flashing CWM....just replace CWM with the downloaded SP FLASHABLE ROM
4> Unrooting Canvas4*
open supersu app in your app drawer
goto SETTINGS tab
select full unroot
restart phone and done
*just unrooting your phone wont put it back into warranty...you need to get it to absolute stock factory level to claim any warranty so BEFORE unrooting the phone
just flash the stock rom using SP flash tools from given link
##### Another mention: taking backup of your ROM using CWM
this can be important as if you mess up while using a custom rom or you end up in a soft brick..you can recover using the backup of your ROMi advise that after installing CWM you should first make a backup of your STOCK ROM so that you can have access ti full stock unroot anytime(just restore the stock back up and unroot using supersu...easy isnt it!! no need of dwlding any stock rom)to make backup
boot into CWM recovery
goto backup and restore
create backup->yes
reboot...done!the backup files are stored in internal memory/clockwork folderkeep a copy of this folder in your PC at all times for any emergency that may arise in future(make sure you delete this folder while sending the phone for servicing under warranty)
to restore the backup
boot into recovery
select backup and restore
select restore->date if the recovery
reboot done!

Change Your Rom . I would Suggest PureXperia Z2 or Colossus v5. These Rom Don't have the issues you are facing.

You don't have to root and install CWM again as you have done it once. PureXperia Z2 is already rooted. You have to just install the rom from the zip file. Follow the installation instructions in this post . Good Luck

If you device can't reboot, you can flash eu or global rom, format again and reboot system.

Hu? never wrote it doesn't reboot etc. - It reboots, everything seems to be OK - I "just" can't login after restore a backup....
so, again: does "format internal memory" reset my phone, delete setting or personal files? If so, how does this solve the problem? After a fresh EU ROM install, everything works fine like a new install does.

Flash this zip in TWRP and your login password would be deleted, which by the way gets jumbled up after a restore.
