FLASHING CWM/STOCK RECOVERY
NEEDED - http://www.mediafire.com/?rqc3vi41z6xx439
#Copy the downloaded image file to the folder in your PC where you have set up ADB and fastboot.
#Rename the file to recovery.img
#Turn off your phone. Enter fastboot mode by holding the Power and Volume + button for some time.
#Release both buttons when you see a green screen on your phone.
#Plug in the phone to PC using USB cable, wait for the drivers to install and finish setting up.
#If you are in Windows XP, open command prompt and browse to the folder where you have setup ADB. Or if you are in Windows7/8, hold shift then right click in the ADB folder and click to open command prompt there.
#Type this in the command prompt :
Code:
fastboot devices
#This should display your device name in fastboot mode, if nothing is shown, then you have to check previous steps again.
#Type this command to flash CWM recovery to your phone :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
#It will show the progress and completion dialogue within seconds when it finishes successfully.
#That’s it! CWM Recovery has been installed successfully. Now you can try if CWM is working by entering recovery mode as follows :
#Remove battery of your phone and reinsert.
#Press Power and Volume+ buttons and keep holding it for some time.
#When you see a green screen, you can leave the power button but keep holding Volume+ button.
#Now you will shortly see a red screen, then press the Home button on your phone.
#You should see CWM now, otherwise try the whole process again. Once you are inside CWM, use your volume keys to navigate the options and power button to make selections.
FLASHING STOCK BOOT
#Go to fastboot mode as explained above.
#make sure your device is shown in command prompt
Code:
fastboot devices
#copy the boot.img to the fastboot folder
#flash the boot sector with the boot image
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
##remember the last part of the code may be modiffied according to the boot image name

Recovery was installed successfully via this method also with the help of terminal emulator.

This method can also be updated by op.

This method is not safe. You are lucky coz the mmcblk partition was same as the recovery partitions I extracted. If it were another partition then you could have bricked your device. Advisable is the fastboot method. It will already find the recovery partition for you

Then it means I was really lucky.

Btw, though everything is fine in cwm recovery ( I even backed up my current Rom through cwm), rebooting through recovery takes about one minute. I mean when I click on reboot option in recovery, it says rebooting but this screen is there for about 1 minute then actually the reboot happens. Can this be associated with my method of flashing?

Possibly it can be coz of the flashing method. Flash it with fastboot then see if it improves

EDIT:i clocked my reboot time to recovery. its around 45-50 sec. so its not a matter.may be it takes time to shutdown due to applications running.

Buddy, I think u misunderstood. I am asking about time to reboot from recovery to karbonn logo and not the the time to reboot from main switched on os screen to recovery. Kindly reread my previous post.
