  6. Hi Prateek,
    You can goto Recovery mode and select Backup option to backup your ROM. It will get stored on your SD Card (Which is Must)

  8. Karbonn A5 is priced around Rs 5k, yet features a 3.5-inch screen and 800 Mhz processor. It's a good value for money device if you are looking for an Android device for the price of a featured phone.
