Karbonn A35: How to flash custom ROM



Last week, I wanted to flash the stock ROM on an old phone, Karbonn A35 as the system partition was infected with Ghost Push. Since I couldn't find any online tutorial, I decided to create one myself.

Disclaimer: Know and understand each step before doing it. I'm not responsible for any bricked device.

Things you will need:

1. Your Karbonn A35 Smart-phone.
2. A PC with Linux/Windows.
3. SP Flash Tool (Download from here).
4. Karbonn A35 Stock ROM (Download from here).
5. USB Drivers for the smart-phone installed (Click here for instructions).

Instructions:

1. Download the required ROM and software and extract them in a folder.
2. Disconnect your phone, switch it off and remove the battery.
3. On your PC, run the sp-flash tool and in the second field (Scatter Loading File), select the file firmware/MT6572_Android_scatter.txt from the ROM zip extract folder.

SP Flash Tool

4. In the dropdown below that, change from "Download Only" to Format+Download".
5. Click the green Download button on top.
6. Now connect the phone (without battery) to the PC through USB cable.
7. You will see that as soon as you connect, the new ROM starts flashing on your phone.
8. Once done, you will see a large green icon for success.
9. Now close the SP Flash tool, disconnect the phone, insert the battery and start it.
10. Done! :good:
