Karbonn A21 is a hell of a smartphone powered by a mighty Dual-core snapdragon processor which clocks at 1.2 GHz. The phone is priced at INR 10,499 and is available for around INR 500-1000 less than the MRP. The snapdragon processor ensures lagless performance of the device and is able to handle the 480x800 resolution of the device. The only drawback is the 400 MB ram that's available to the end user. The tagline for the device says: "Style meets Technolgy" and the device indeed looks stylish and gives a premium feeling. Just if this device had packed 1 GB ram, it would have been a killer combo of specs and price.

A21 just 386MB RAM Usable
Dear Friends,
I purchased a Karbonn A21 after rave reviews by many websites. I felt Cheated when i checked its ram and found it to be only 386MB.. It has an internal memory of 580.8 MB only. It has a DUAL CORE 1.2 GHZ processor though...
specs of A21
Details of the specs are in the Attachment
Phone Rooted!!
Dear Friends,
Today I successfully rooted my phone. Will let you all, who are interested, to know the procedure and upload the driver files and unlock root tool.
Credits to my son "itzmiandy" of Phandroid Forum, who guided me. :good:
The RAM and camera is the only let down of this device. Check iGyaan's youtube channel for hands-on video review.
Other than that the pros are, its resolution is qHD 540x960 (First budget phone to get this, rest other phones are WVGA 480x800), dual-core CPU, greater build quality.

Guys I'm really seeking answer to this question. Is anyone able to play HD videos on this mobile? I've tried the MX player with arm v7 codecs and the mobo player but all HD videos above and including 1080x540 resolution are lagging heavily.
I'll be grateful for an answer since the max resolution which its playing without any lag is 960x540 which is screen resolution.
Is there any way to play HD videos on this?

Hi Friends,
The required driver files are attached. Open the Zip file and save the Driver file folder and the UnlockRoot Tool in your Desktop.
Connect the phone to your PC and install the drivers.
Once the drivers are successfully installed you phone is ready to be rooted.
Now click open the UnlockRoot Tool and when it's installed (you may have to temporarily disable your antivirus) click the "ROOT" button.
It may say that your phone is already rooted, ignore and press the "ROOT" button. Wait until the process is completed and the phone is rebooted. Now you have your phone rooted. Check with "Root Explorer" or any other application you have.
Note that "Rooting" will void your Warranty and you are doing it at your own risk!!
You are most welcome to hit the Thanks Button.

Thank you so much for the reply. I was thinking if there is some way to play HD videos without converting
them. If conversion is unavoidable, we'd rather down convert it to its screen resolution which keeps the size small too. Coming to MX player, I've tried both h/w and s/w codecs but in h/w codecs not all formats supported, only audio plays whereas with s/w codecs there is heavy lag. I've also installed MX player codecs for arm V7 neon but still lot of sync loss and pathetic frame rates. Kindly request everyone to solve this problem so that we can play all HD videos without converting them.

Hey guys,
I just saw this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499102
I read through a few posts but the point of this rom isn't very clear to me.
Does it add anything more than developer unlocking to your phone (does it even add that?) And should I unlock my phone with cheveron first or is that not necessary?
Also, my current (stock) rom doesn't have a 2G/3G switch. Any ideas if this rom has it?
Thanks!

The ROM is a "full unlock". This surpasses developer, Chevron and Interop. It allows apps to run on your phone with heightened privileges. Opera browser for example. It includes Registry editors, homebrew apps, Nokia sounds etc.
It isn't necessary to do anything before flashing, just follow the instructions properly! Yes, it includes a choice of your highest connection speed: 3G or 2G.
It's just a better experience all round!
That sounds good. Any idea how it affects battery life?
I'll give it a try tomorrow.
Hopefully there's a wat to keep currently installed apps en text messages. Any idea about that?

Hey mirolog,
the reason I had to open a new thread is because I don't have 10 posts yet so I couldn't reply to yours. Thank you for your reply!

Love this phone more and more every day because of this ROM.
Definitely worth flashing it.

First thing is first.
You must have an unlocked bootloader and a rooted device.
If you are S-ON and you don't like bloatware you must do it from RECOVERY [custom recovery of course]
Boot your device into recovery mode [TWRP]
Click on : Mount / Check the square where it says System [so mount system]
Click back
Click Advanced / then click File Manager
Scroll until you see : system
Click on system / then click app
Now, from there you delete all the apps you want, including the odex files.
After you deleted the apps you want click on (Up A Level)
Then scroll to priv-app
From there delete also all the apps you can find and want to delete and you didn't find in system/app
After you did that click again on (Up A Level) and again on (Up A Level)
There click on data / app [click data, and then click app]
There you will find the apps you deleted and their updates, so delete those too.
After you done all that you can reboot the device. Unless you do all these steps the apps you delete will show up again in your app drawer, so do this and the apps will stay deleted.
Enjoy the free space on your device.

You probably still have HTC's write protection on whatever rom u are using, maybe that's why Mr Hof's method isnt working for you. I use Root explorer to do the same as Mr Hof's does and it works 100%.
In the long run its better to maybe fork out a small amount of cash and go s off so lenghty and convoluted processes such as this can be avoided

The only thing I have is S-ON. That's it. Write protection is off, trust me, my apps can read/write the external sdcard, or anything else in the device for that matter.

Lots of people used system app remover, even the pro version, and after reboot the apps were back in the app drawer.
So there is no trouble deleting them via TWRP.

Well after spending a lot of time on this phone I managed to get full root access
Instructions :
Download Kingo (Search good due I can't post any link.)
Install and run kingo.
Now just connect your phone in debugging mode at your pc.(How to find debug more? Look the pictures below!)
Press "ROOT" on the Kingo program and let it until it says "Root was successfully"

Well after spending a lot of time on this phone I managed to get full root access
Instructions :
Download Kingo (Search good due I can't post any link.)
Install and run kingo.
Now just connect your phone in debugging mode at your pc.(How to find debug more? Look the pictures below!)
Press "ROOT" on the Kingo program and let it until it says "Root was successfully"

- is 4G/LTE possible to get on both sim or it's sim one 4G and the other sim 2G only? I have s5 dual sim and I can have LTE on both sims ( not at the same time, I have to switch it in settings, so both sim 1 and 2 have capacity to get 4g)

Oneplus 2 toolkit

It probably wouldn't be the smartest idea in the world, no. Why would you need a toolkit anyway? They're nothing but trouble, cause problems, and prevent you from learning anything. These devices are super easy to work with anyway, take the time to do things manually, it's pretty easy if you follow a good guide.

I get that using a command prompt is super easy and I'm not a stranger to using windows commands either (i know just enough about computers to get me in trouble haha) but for some reason I can't get the drivers installed properly. It's a very odd situation. After installing I'll run the command prompt in the folder where the drivers are located plug in my phone and type the command "adb devices" as well as "fastboot devices" and I get nothing everytime. Oddly enough when I use a toolkit I am able to root and unlock my device (my original Oneplus One) as well as flash a custom recovery. I know I'm doing something wrong, I just can't figure out what it is. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers but no luck. Any help with this situation would be appreciated as my new Oneplus 2 is arriving soon with the Chinese ROM and I definitely don't want to have to use it until a new toolkit comes out.

I had all the adb and fastboot drivers installed properly, but it didn't seem to connect through ADB until I ran the driver exe file that shows up as drive F: every time I connect my OP2. After that, everything went fine.

It works just like any other 4G supported dual sim nothing fancy. So you can't simultaneously get 4G but it's possible to get 4G on both the Sims but not at the same time like your S5 dual.
And as for call recording, I'll let you know when i try it on my friend's device. I forgot to ask him that when I net him the last time.
OxygenOs 2.0.1 Battery saver help!
Got my OnePlus 2 yesterday and i'm really very happy with it's performance but slightly disappointed for it's battery life. Well this can be solved through software update in future so not a problem for me. I started to use the Battery Saver app in Battery settings but i cant receive any notification as the background data is disbled so I just wanna ask is there any way to enable the background data for specific app? Your help will be appreciated thanks!
I'm concerned with the CPU, is it really bad as they describe?

Yes you should still be able to take updates, just by using the automatic update feature.

Hey guys
I hope you enjoy our service. Use it as you would any other search engine. Often times it works best if you search for model number (i.e. SM-A800IZ), rather than device name. Also, here are some advanced search tips to get you started:
+"galaxy s7" usa
Display all firmwares for the Galaxy S7 and put those with region USA in the top
+"sm-t805" -germany
Display all firmwares for the Galaxy Tab S except those from Germany
+marshmallow +switzerland
Display all Marshmallow firmwares from Switzerland
Let us know what you think.
PS: The site is not yet responsive in design (we're working on it)
I do not know why there is show nothing when I search SM-G9300
with safari or firefox browser, i hit download button from selected firmware, only try to load the next site but nothing happened..
Edit: it works.

i have to wait about 3 min and then everything fine, maybe my bad because i can't wait about some min ..sorry..
server prob or what ever, now it works fine when i search any firmware..
big thanks to you..
I think you must use some kind of autocomplete feature. I can not finda anyting when i search with "SM-930F"

It's SM-G930F. But I agree, an autocomplete function would be great.
Hey guys! The site looks good but I think that a good thing to add would be "fluid" tables (and structures) because now they don't fit in the phone screen and its impossible to read all the columns of the firmware table. By adding that you're site will be accesible for every phone and not only pc's.

Yup, things have been really picking up on our end so we're working right now on strengthening our servers. If there's ever any lag or downtime, it should fade away in the next few days.

At the moment, the search requires that you enter the full model number, and if a letter or a number is missing, results can be very different. But I love the idea and we'll definitely look into ways to make our search engine smarter

Thank you I agree!
We're actually working on the responsive design as well, so that it looks well on mobile devices. Although that might take a few weeks. On the bright side, we'll be releasing our app in the next few days and it's looking great, we're certainly aiming to make mobile experience very pleasant.
Nice website...
Interesting project ... and now here's some constructive criticism, obviously meant in good faith for possible improvements.
Pertains to the website, since I haven't tried the Android app yet.
1. Sometimes downloading seems to be slow / down / overloaded servers, not sure what's the actual cause, but tried it with and without a download manager using Chrome.
2. Firmware availability limitation in SamFirm / Samsung Server seems to be also present here (ex. SM-G930A / G935A unavailable). Suppose not much can be done about it since Samsung is simply not serving it up.
3. Would be helpful to have each file designated as HOME or FACTORY depending on the type of firmware package. Factory version is much more preferred/useful.
Overall a great looking, and informative website.
'tsit for now,

Thanks, your feedback is very graceful
1. Yup, we're fixing this right now. Can you try again actually? How is it running now?
2. Unfortunately at the moment, not much we can do...since Samsung themselves doesn't even have it.
3. I'll let @zxz0O0 answer this one...

The factory version includes the PIT file and wipes the user data. We are downloading the home version from Samsung, which is a simply update without wipe. For the latest devices, Samsung merged the home and factory version. You can recognize those firmwares, because the file ends with "_fac.zip". Inside the zip you can then choose to flash the home or factory csc.
Why do you think the factory version is preferred?

Unfortunately we do not currently support these 2 particular smart watches. The usual way of downloading firmwares for them does not seem to work.
nice site and great support for the S5, even has new zealand firmwares, i cant really download firmwares from samfirmware as its just too slow but your site is great
EDIT: just a suggestion but a desktop app would be brilliant with the ability to detect your phone in a similar manner that kies does and give a list of firmwares for that region, and possibly the option of downloading firmwares for other regions

Hi Toby,
Thanks bud! Glad to hear! We're continuing to improve the platform with each day. A desktop app is something to think about, but our focus right now is to polish up the site. Let me know if you got any other suggestions and/or questions.

Only wish I'd found this before a few weeks ago before I spent ### on SM (no offense to them, only expensive - rather throw U the ### instead) Sorry ahead of time as I whipped through this thread = my only unasked opinion would be to add the 3 digit country code to the description as many look the same..
can't remember how to add images (dropbox doesn't work) so I'll just list my latest...

- G935FXXU1APF2_G935FOJV1APF1_XFE
- G935FXXU1APF2_G935FOJV1APF1_XSG
All have the same firmware/etc but different CSC/etc - wouldn't it be helpful to include this info during current postings? Just a thought...
Also have various images/firmware of others but still difficult to post these as the baseband/CSC/etc are different for everybody... Perhaps we can try to coordinate this to help ALL of us? Again, I may be just a dumbass also..
