[GUIDE] Unbricking Karbonn A21

This is the first ever guide written by me, and I am not an expert in android and recovery, so please pardon if any mistakes are found. Lets correct if any. Also at this time Karbonn A21's system.img file is not available hence we had to perform some hard steps to get the job done.
CAUTION : WARRANTY VOID : I'm not responsible if any hard/soft damage occurs to your handset after/during using this guide. I successfully unbricked my A21 and want all of you to understand the recovery procedure properly before doing anything. Rooting your handset and applying another recovery/ROM certainly voids manufacturer's warranty. Do anything mentioned here ONLY if you understand it.
The only reason I posted this is to save any karbonn a21 users time if his device gets bricked. I had to keep my business aside for a whole day to recover my Karbonn A21 in working state.
You will have to keep handy :
1) Drivers for Karbonn A21 Click here
1) CWM by Eklovya Click here
2) AIO Flasher by Fonehacker Click here
3) Custom ROM flashable reloaded (*.zip) and A9+ system image (system.img) (because A21 's system image was not found at this time.) here and here
Also use Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 to root your karbonn a21 whenever necessary.
First of all you must understand that three partitions are necessary in Android : 1) Boot, 2) System, 3) Recovery
Other than these, there are Data, Cache, etc.
Unbricking an Android handset involves
1) Repairing Boot partition in fastboot mode using AIO Flasher to flash a proper boot.img file to the handset.
2) Installing proper Recovery partition in fastboot or normal mode using AIO Flasher, CWM Recovery by eklovya is a suitable solution.
3) Installing the System partition from a proper system.img file using AIO Flasher, or from a .zip file (Custom ROM) or a backed up ROM through CWM recovery.
Fastboot mode :
Fastboot mode is a Android device's state where it is possible to flash different partitions through a simple USB cable and PC. It can be activated on Karbonn A21 by keep pressed [Volume Up] key during power on (read : before power on) until your screen glows in green colour. Instantly release [Volume Up] key or your A21 may boot into recovery partition. On your PC proper drivers must be installed and fastboot.exe from Google is required to flash the partitions to the handset. AIO Flasher is a good GUI based solution for that.
Recovery :
During the above process, (for Karbonn A21) if you keep the [Volume Up] key pressed until the screen glows red, and then release the key, you enter into recovery mode. Updates to operating system's files can be installed from this mode. Stock recovery means manufacturer provided Recovery partition 'as it is' and Custom recovery is recovery partition OS developed by other developers, CWM recovery being the most popular one.
STEPS FOR UNBRICKING :
1) Repair Boot partition
Firstly enter into fastboot mode, and then use AIO Flasher to flash boot.img of Karbonn A9+ / Cherry Mobile flare to boot partition of your A21
2) Repair Recovery partition
Using AIO flasher, flash CWM Recovery's img file to recovery partition, in A21's fastboot mode. (For more info read this and this thread)
3) Install System.img to system partition
Currently A21's system.img is not available, else we could easily flash it to A21's system partition and get our handset running. Hence I flashed A9+ system.img downloaded from above (note that the downloaded file has extension .7z, to be renamed to .img), by AIO Flasher to system partition in fastboot mode. The flashed system rom was made for Karbonn A9+ hence it didn't work on my handset properly. I got white display and the touch screen and buttons didn't work. I used AIO flasher's screenshot facility to get into the handset and found that actually the system was up and running properly, except the display and touch interface. Then I decided to flash custom ROM and tried using santo_rock 's custom ROM DarkBoid. But it didn't work. Then I flashed ashoknraj 's custom ROM Flashable reloaded. It was success.
4) Install ROM for A21
To install the custom ROM via Eklovya's CWM recovery, the .zip file needed to be inside internal memory in the form of update.zip file stored in root folder, but the internal memory was not accessible through my PC as its usb drive was shown in windows explorer but was in [no disk] state, and I could not select [Turn on USB Storage] on my A21.
Here comes ADB 's power. I used ADB push to push the custom ROM into the internal memory.
Use the following command to push the update.zip (rename the custom ROM to update.zip) :
adb push update.zip /mnt/sdcard/sd_card/update.zip
Note the spaces and special characters properly.
The file is greater than 100 MB and hence some time will be required to transfer that file into memory.
If it shows error Permission denied, then remount using the command
ADB REMOUNT
and then try again.
Now we have the custom ROM ready in A21's internal memory, lets flash it. Boot into CWM recovery mode and select apply update.zip, let it install, and then wipe data/cache and reboot the device normally. (For more info read this thread)
If everything goes well, your A21 will now be successfully unbricked.
Of course you need patience and concentration to do all this.
DISCLAIMER : The above process and softwares are not my creation and are of respective developers. I just aggregated all these to one place.

Thanks for the guide. Do you know of any solution if phone only boots in QPST Download mode? No other methods like Fastboot, adb working for now.
I've connected via QPST tool but don't have images to flash. If you can research on it and provide the files to me, it would be great help.

Enter QPST download for karbonn A21
Is there any soution to this problem. It arises when I install cwm. But I have restored the default recovery by mounting it in linux.
When it shows this in sceen you can access all the partitions in linux.
I used this command to restore the default recovery as it was 16th partition that I changed with cwm image
dd if=/home/tushar/recovery.img of=/dev/sdc16 bs=4096
Also fastboot mode in not working on karbonn A21. powering up while holding up volume key shows me no green screen

karbonn a21 brickked

Karbonn a21 Bricked. please help!
I tried installing Nokia X firmware on my Karbonn a21 but it gor stuck at black screen no boot logo or animation.
When i press volumeUP+ power itwas going to black screen only so i thought recovery partition is also gone
But volumeDOWN +power was working so i put it into QPST mode and tried EMMC download software with Karbonn a9+ bp firmware. it resulted in error of cookies not present!.
Then i got to know that volume up button was broken from hardware only. so i got it fixed.
Now i see green light for fastboot and then pink for recovery.
BUT if i leave power button on pink(recovery) it goes to black screen
And if i leaveit on fastboot(green) it stays green only .
I dont know if that failed QPST try blew my recovery or it got bad in the beginning only!
QPST mode is still working and drivers are getting detected as Qualcomm USb 9006.

Lenovo a1000 flash

I am trying to flash my Lenovo a1000 G with stock firmware as I screwed up with imei no. in last flash long ago. I'm using sp flash too and scatter file to flash the firmware. My sim card is not detected and there is no phone app. When I am trying to flash, the progress bar goes red and completes 100 percent. But from then there is no progress(it does not load files to my tablet.). One more detail to add, I did not format my device. Should I format my device? If not what should I do?

if you format it you will lost imei dont do it

Opened a Telegram Channel for this mobile phone Lenovo A1000: https://t.me/LenovoA1000phone

Boot Failed. EFI Hard Drive - Lenovo Yoga 2 1050L

How to fix it? I see only BIOS

I have same issue,,,,,I have attempted to dual boot Android along with the original Windows 8.1 that was already on the system.
However, I admit, I have made a huge error and have somehow managed to format all the partitions on the internal drive.
My tablet now has no boot partition or bootloader or recovery partition and therefore I cannot install any operating system on it using bootable USB flash drives.
Is there anyone who can do to help me get back to original OS by advising how to repair or build a new bootloader. Or how to re-install Windows?

Letv LeEco Le1s hard bricked (Help needed)

Dear members, this is my first post and the problem is very complicted, so please bear with the long post
Device details:
LeEco Le1s (x500)
MTK6795 chipset
3 GB + 32 GB (Everybody knows )
Background:
I downgraded my ROM from 19s to 14s with SP Flash tool and the phone booted normally. I went through the initial setup, unlocked Developer mode and USB debugging. Then I opened the adb toolkit on Win 7 x86 machine to unlock bootloader and install twrp custom recovery at single go (instead of letting phone rebot after bootloader unlock and then proceeding with recovery flashing).
Now phone went to soft brick, to overcome which I needed to flash userdata with sp flash tool (I have done this in past also following a tutorial, the same files were used this time). But flashing process resulted in BROM error and I was not successful.
So, I re-flashed the original 14s rom via SP flash tool to get the things back to working, but phone didn't boot properly and bootloop situation was still there. I again reflashed the same ROM and this timephone entered red light of death mode, and didn't boot up after flashing original rom.
Now, I again googled this problem and found that we need to format flash with bootloader. Here the problem complicated further.
As soon as I formatted the flash and the bootloader, laptop stopped detecting the phone via usb cable. Now I can't flash any rom using SP flash tool as the phone is not detectable.
I have reinstalled my windows 7 32 bit operating system and reinstalled all the drivers for MTK smartphone. I have another Le1s phone running on 19s version of EUI marshmallow with stock recovery and locked bootloader which is detecting fine without problems.
Please guide me how can I resolve the problem.
Also guide if the other phone can anyhow help in this matter in terms of software backup for SP flash tool (I couldn't find a way of backing stock rom using SP flash tools.
Problem summary:
1) Flash with bootloader formatted
2) Phone is not detectable on Windows 7 32 bit OS and latest SP flash tools
3) Red LED turns on when phone connected to charger or laptop via usb cable,nothing on LCD display
4) Can't reach bootloader or recovery either
Help will be really appreciated. You all know the value of data stored on smartphones.
Thanks in advance!!

can explain how you were able to solve it?
facing a similar issue would ne helpful.
thanks.

Asus Zenpad Z380M Wont turn on or boot to any mode after attempted magisk root with locked bootloader

Okay, Let me explain exactly what I did here... I first flashed Twrp using SP flash tool which worked without too much problem. Then I attempted to install the latest super su zip which told me the boot.img was already patched and it could not find a ramdisk... So I moved on and flashed the latest Magisk zip which flashed no problem. Rebooted the device and it came up with a red boot state telling me it would boot in 5 sec. It did not boot at all. Turned off the tablet and rebooted into twrp again. I then flashed the OTA update system.img, boot.img, and re-flashed twrp from twrp itself instead of the SP flash tool. It booted into twrp no problem, however now it said it could not mount the system partition. I did a full data wipe, factory reset, rebooted into twrp again. Same issue. So I attempted to re-flash the firmware with SP flash tool. Did not notice i had it set to format and download and not only download. It said formatting for maybe 2 sec and gave me an error. Now the device will not turn on at all... no screen whatsoever, no recovery, etc... I have had no luck getting the asus flash tool to even recognize a com port however SP flash tool seems to be able to flash the device no problem. I extracted the .raw firmware file I have for the latest firmware, modified the scatter file to allow flashing all partitions, and I did a full firmware flash of the device using SP flash tool. However it still does not turn on... it does nothing... So I'm assuming that I accidentally formatted over the bootloader... And I cannot find a bootloader flash file for this device anywhere... So I'm stuck with an Asus ZenBrick... Does anyone know a way to fix this issue? When I plug the device into my computer and open device manager it switches between the preloader and mtk serial port very quickly not staying on either one very long. I'm assuming this is why I cant get the asus flash tool to work and SP flash tool works off just the initial preloader. I just bought this tablet from someone and managed to hard brick it in less than a days time... Any help at all with a way to revive this device will be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance to anyone who tries to help me fix my mess up.
