Root Karbonn A30: Simplified How-To

Karbonn made a lot of news in the year 2012. The reason? Karbonn launched a spree of mobiles catering to different price categories. Be it the Karbonn A21 with a dual core 1 GHz processor or the Karbonn A1+ which redefined value for money with a 1 GHz single core processor at unbelievable prices. And the latest one to be launched was Karbonn A30, which even made Galaxy Note II look smaller by about 0.4" inch. Yes, the specs may not be as astonishing as our beloved and acclaimed Note II, but the A30’s screen size of 5.9 inch did make some news. Priced at about INR 11,000, it is a good deal to go for( if you are not addicted only to reputed brands like Samsung and Sony.)

Downloads Required: Root Unroot Tool by Droidiser for ICS and above
Usual but not-so-boring Disclaimer: Rooting voids your manufacturer’s warranty. I won’t be held responsible if you end up screwing with your mobile. I shall try my level best to get you out of those “dangerous” situations though.

1. Enable USB Debugging. The option to do so is present in Settings > Development. Tick USB Debugging to enable it. (It is recommended to keep it turned on even after this procedure is over, why?)
2. Install drivers for your phone. That can be easily done using Pdanet. Otherwise, you can always install the official drivers.
3. Keep your phone connected (I hope you connected it during driver installation )
