    1. Hello Abhishek,

      Karbonn devices usually have their drivers available in the Internal storage of the device. Just plug-in your device to your PC and look for drivers in the storage.

      Hope that helps!

    1. Hello Sumit,

      Well, there’s no official Jelly Bean update available for the Karbonn A111. However, you could give custom ROMs a try if they work for you.

      Thanks!
