The difference is you don't have to flash a different ROM with the new method, and of course you don't have to wipe the data.

It is quick & easy with the no-wipe method, and the phone does not change except root is enabled. Install SuperUser app and enjoy.

jcase, what are your thoughts about custom roms? Do you think the bootloader is a big obstacle at this point ?

We are all thankful for everything you do!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcase:
I need one person willing to test this, then I will post it publically.

Need adb and fastboot, linux preferred but windows is fine as long as you can get fastboot working.

bootloader concerns are negated due to mistakes by pantech, and custom recovery and boot images are now possible thanks to IOMonster.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theandre:
Awesome!!!!

Just out of curiosity what mistakes did Pantech make? Or maybe it is confidential ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcase:
and here is root, you need fastboot and adb

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/04/09/pantech-burst-rooted-and-the-process-is-stupid-easy/

IOMonster saved the day here, without him you would have to wipe your phone and install modified leaked firmware to get root.

Very glad we decided to not release the initial root, sorry

If IOMonster wants to explain he can, I would prefer not to however.

This root is flawless!

Works perfectly.

You guys are amazing.

So is there a main forum at all for this phone that we can all participate in?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theandre:
Nope. We sould come up with a section. Unfortunately voting does not seem to work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Since we have this thread going, maybe we can talk about some Burst issues?

BTW, thanks again all you guys for working out the root on this phone. Really cleared up my buyer's remorse over this phone.

Anyway, I had an issue the other day where the GPS just would not find the satellites using the Google Navigation app. Restarted the app once or twice and eventually it worked. This morning and also yesterday my Endomondo app (workout logger, uses GPS) could not find the GPS. I let it run today and it went over an hour without locking on to any satellites.

Anyone else have issues locking onto satellites? Possibly discuss potential fixes?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusmarcus:
I actually had this issue a couple days ago for the first time. I use Cardio Trainer for logging my runs and it would not lock in on GPS that day. Closed out the app and opened it a few times and still would not lock. Tried Google Maps and still would not lock. I shutdown the phone and then booted it back up and it locked on instantly. Have not had the problem since then. I have never had this issue the last 2 months either. so I'm chalking it up as a fluke. If you are still having an issue try to reboot the phone and see if that clears it up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
yeah I did reboot the phone, no dice. But you know, I was trying to start my bike ride this morning, not going to reboot the phone a half dozen times to get GPS to lock. I'll research this a little bit and see if I can't come up with something.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theandre:
Interesting.... mine locks so fast I even wanted to brag about it. Try Gps tester with it you can get clearer picture of what is going on
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
When mine locks, it locks instantly and works great. But it is intermittent and sometimes doesn't lock at all. Restarting the app fixes it in most cases so far, so clearly it's not a hardware issue.

I installed some GPS tools apps to test it. For example, I downloaded GPS Essentials and ran it. First time, 0 satellites for like 5 minutes. Quit the app and restarted, then right here inside my office it found 4 satellites almost immediately. Also got the GPS Status app and used it to clear and then re-add the aGPS data. Maybe that'll help.

I had the lg Optimus s on sprint before I switched to att and got the burst and I was able to get cm9 on it when it's not even supposed to be able to run ics, it's a 600mhz low end device with 150mb of internal storage, and it had many roms for it, even continued support from sprint, it was released with 2.1, updated to 2.2 and the last official update was to 2.3..... considering that sprint had the evo's and the nexus s and galaxy nexus and all their dual core/4g phones I say your point is mute. they already have a port of cm9 that boots on the burst, but we need a kernel to get radios and such working. that's part of why people keep bugging pantech for the update. considering this http://m.androidcentral.com/att-provides-ics-list-nothing-surprise-us pantech wants to be a player in the smart phone market they need to step up their game. The pressure is on for this update because they just announced a new phone with lower specs that's shipping with ICS on board, and all of their Korean models have ics, just look at opensource pantech.com

so I have to spend $600+ on a phone to have it be supported? if I had that kind of money I would have bought a galaxy nexus then I wouldn't have to worry about updates
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantechBurstOwner:
Pantech has told thousands of customers that there WILL be an update the fact that it is taking so long is pathetic especially considering the fact that nearly all their phones in Korea have ICS

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
You are completely missing the point. The phones in Korea are not on AT&T. This is an AT&T branded custom handset, and you are not a customer of Pantech. You are AT&T's customer. They sold you the phone and they control what's on it.

If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at AT&T. Or go to Korea and use a Pantech burst with ICS there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalcc:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrakattack:

I get that it's not in at&t's best interest to update, but they promised an update back in March, and still nothing. For $600+ I could pay my rent and my cell phone bill for a month, or a car payment. The best thing is that I got my Optimus s for free from sprint and they didn't pull **** like this, hell I had unlimited data, now I'm paying a premium for it. Companies/corporations forget that without the end user/consumer they'd be nothing.

Wonky contacts

Hey there,

I'm facing the same issue but found a workaround by installing go contacts.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jbapps.contact&hl=en

In contacts I'm able to see the invisible phone memory. I think this has more to do with poor coding of the contacts.apk than anything else.

Sadly, it isn't true. Motorola Atrix2, Atrix 4G and Captivate Glide still haven't got the update.

Be patient, its only a matter of time before we get the ICS and the kernel source. Then she'll roll with CM9 and probably CM10.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jznomoney:
It's pantechs fault for replying late summer for the update and then when late summer arrives there still is no update. I mean summer is basically over. Only two weeks until fall begins.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrakattack:
and they have yet to say anything else, or confirm or deny the existence of the juus090312 update
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Remember my wife just bought a brand new phone that was just released a month ago from Sony, and it came with GB and no announcement of ICS. Pantech is far from last.

But you need to understand something about the tech industry. "Late summer" is marketing weasel words. There is no date. It's not like they are looking for the autumnal equinox and ferociously working towards this deadline. "Late summer", uttered in the spring, means they expect they have about half a year of development work before they can release. They routinely underestimate, so I would say if we get it by year's end, we'll be in good shape.

And as I pointed out before, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is the very smartest thing you can do in this business, so while from a marketing perspective Pantech and AT&T had to announce ICS since Google was marketing it heavily with the Nexus S as a counter to the iPhone 4, the reality is that there is no compelling reason to release it. A promise was enough to get you to buy the phone. As long as they deliver before you are ready to renew and choose a replacement phone, then they have not likely lost a customer. And Pantech doesn't even have a newer phone to sell you yet.

I do this for a living. You don't need the ICS update and they know it. "Late summer" means 2012, or maybe later. If you don't like it, next time buy a phone that already has the OS on it you want. If you want to send AT&T and Pantech (and every other handset manufacturer) a message, stop buying phones based on a promise.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusmarcus:
To be fair, they have 2 weeks left to keep their promise. They did not say the beginning of late summer. They could get it out the last day of summer and they would still have kept their promise of late summer.

I do wish they would hurry up though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrakattack:
actually pantech is releasing a new phone on at&t in less than 2 weeks and it's shipping with ICS on board http://m.engadget.com/2012/09/04/pantech-flex-announced-att/

and I still find your logic flawed, here on xda and other sites private hobbyist devs pump out roms wayyyyy quicker than any manufacturer can with farrrrrr less resources at their disposal in their free time none the less... I find it odd that the juus090312 firmware update listed on the ptcrb site is which was certified on 8-29-12 hasn't been released yet and no word on its existence has been mentioned.

and I seem to recall that you said your wife does no longer has said Sony device and has the htc one x

maybe you can buy everyone here a phone that comes with ICS or has been updated already, or better yet send us all gnex's from Google, since everyone can clearly afford to drop $200+ on a flagship phone lol

and this as well, marketing schmarketing, Motorola has stated yesterday that most if not all of their android devices purchased in 2011 will get jelly bean, and if not customers can trade in their old phone for a $100 rebate towards a purchase of a new one so if the new RAZR hd is $200 subsidized cost then it will only be $100. http://m.engadget.com/2012/09/07/motorolas-rebate-site-goes-live/

so based upon your statement this is not in motorolas best interest to even update past ics "the reality is that there is no compelling reason to release it."
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jznomoney:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
almost tempted to downgrade back to unrooted and stock recovery that way when it comes we can grab it, root it, and stick a cwm backup online for those who don't want to go threw that whole process
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
It's no guarantee you'll be able to root it after the upgrade. AT&T never intended to release a phone with an exploit that could be used to get root. They may very likely fix this error in the upgrade.

My wife's HTC One X is rooted with the build it came with, and so far unrootable with the upgrade they have been rolling out. My previous AT&T phone was an HTC Aria, daughter and I had the same phone, and they were rooted and then AT&T pushed out an update that killed root on my daughter's phone forever.

Preventing you from rooting your phone is high on AT&T's list of priorities.

Very possible. Verizon did an update on the Droid 2s a few months ago. The update flashed a new set of keys for the bootloader. Made it impossible to flash back to an older rom.

so it's all marketing, but it really shouldn't matter since of the burst had ics beforehand, since the flex has a slide out keyboard, hence the namesake lol I love how before the carriers would say beforehand but that obviously didn't work out so well due to dates being pushed back, so they just tell users the day of now. Look at the debacle with the lg Optimus s on sprint lol http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/337466 It was a botched update that they immediately pulled from issues that insued, people had to downgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.2 lol

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeerSteak:
About 2 hours or so ago, Pantech's Facebook page reaffirmed to someone inquiring that ICS was coming "soon" for this phone.

I recently defected from T-mobile to Straight Talk via an AT&T SIM in my SIM-unlocked G2x (which is a T-mo phone, so I'm living with EDGE data right now) thanks to a Micro SIM adapter, since AT&T's coverage is better than T-mo's in my area. I'm debating between jumping ship to either this (which I can get new on eBay for around $170) or something considerably more expensive. The specs on the Burst are incredible for the price, so I'm hoping ICS really does drop soon. Or at least leak officially - if that happens I'll jump on one of these. The price and the specs combine to be just out of this world, but I don't want to be stuck on Gingerbread when I get a new phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantechBurstOwner:
Yep, i posted that a few posts up. It's a great phone. Trust me it wont even take two weeks for a ROM to be pushed dut when ICS is out, actually we already have CM9 just we need to get an ICS kernel and radios working :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeerSteak:
Totally missed it, my bad.

So everyone who has this phone totally digs it, eh? Wish they didn't skin the UI. Looking at pictures of the next phone on Pantech's site shows hints of what the ICS skin on the Burst will look like. How deep is the skinning? If I replace the launcher (and I guess root it, if I want widgets to work) with something ICS flavored like Nova, Apex, or Trebuchet, how non-stock ICS will it look? Or now, I guess, how non-stock does Gingerbread look compared to stock Gingerbread with something like ADW EX or Launcher Pro installed? Most of it is in the appearance of the launcher, I suppose.

No KERNEL source

That's basically because we don't have the Kernel source for ICS from Pantech yet.

so others smartphone although they don't have official rom but still have the kerner source form their carrier?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
I'm not sure but other phones probably shared similar components with a phone that did have support. also how popular the phone is depends on how much support it gets. if you have a bunch of devs that buy the burst your more likely to see something faster because the more minds you have working at cracking it the success rate goes up. there could be a million reasons. also if a phone is never going to get official ics the people who own it are more likely to push threw any issues with the kernal instead of a phone where the update and kernel source is coming.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinhvtai:
