Has anyone tried slim rom? It comes separate from device essentials and meant for several devices. Imma try it out tonight.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevotdo:
Looks like it's meant for Samsung devices plus you have to be running an ics rom for you to be able to have a chance of it working.

I concur

anyone else experienced a stuck-up behavior with software update check recently? looks like some big package is being pushed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusmarcus:
I don't notice any different behavior with my software update check. Still telling me there is no update. What is the "stuck-up behavior" you are having?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
not that I've heard as of yet. I'm checking the update news several times a day and checking google (I have free time while I'm at work lol)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlasFamous:
Whenever I manually check for update, it gets stuck on "communication in progress" screen. The only way out is to kill the process.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
I know on mine I'd have to let that message stay up on the screen for a min or 2 I think before it would popup saying oo look you have an update. I usually got excited when the screen would hang there for a sec usually meant there was an update and if it was quick there wasn't.

Have you modified your system a lot? not sure if it does any pre req check beside comparing model and version numbers

You guys hear about the Pantech Marauder?

It's a verizon phone that just launched. It comes with ICS. Any chance we could get a rom/idea from that?

Link to the phone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
We need a dump of the firmware to have a looksie. I'm looking and can't find anything. Anyone else?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
looks like its only been out for a few days. heres a datasheet on it if it helps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yadspi:
Oh gawd so ugly that Marauder! If that it's the final design of Pantech ICS it's uglier than what we have now, also that phone seems a bit underpowered compared to the Burst, 1.5Ghz vs. 1.2Ghz, 3.8" Screen vs. 4" Screen, etc. Knowing that all Pantech phones with gingebread had almost identical UI it seems that yes, that's the final design of ICS :crying:

Edit: Well, I saw the video and yeah, in motion it's better than what we have, seems smoother and have a lot of ICS original UI elements and colors, let's bring this to the Burst! I wish I could.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
Here is the spec comparison. (they are still missing some information on the marauder since its so new)

remember on paper a lot of sites still rate the burst at 1.2 even tho its running at 1.5
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yadspi:
It seems better than the Burst, also, does it have the same CPU as the One X and Galaxy S III (At&t)? Ours is a Scorpion and the Marauder's a Krait
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
I wonder if theres too much difference between to 2 to try to port the stock ics over.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yadspi:
If we find the PDL file we can install it with the Download Tool we have but I doubt the radio works and or the buttons and such, like the Galaxy S i9000 and the Captivate where the roms would work but the rotation was reversed and the modem didn't work as the original
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
that would be awesome but I'm not sure where we even acquired the one pdl file we have now for the burst :P

I guess late summer could be interpreted any way they want. they could give it to us tomorrow or almost the end of sept. hell they can still push it back. on a plus side someone is working on cm7 for us!

there is someone who might have gotten most of the stuff done to port cm7 I made a post begging pretty much for devs and this is a reply I got

lol so I made one. I used dsixda kitchen and I had it port the nexusmod rom. and the file is sitting there waiting for me to boot to recovery and install... lol I'm scared a lil this is like alpha stage at its earliest. because I chose the port option it should have used the boot.img file from our firmware which in all theroies should prevent a full brick. but if I do manage to fully brick it I'm screwed I don't have a backup phone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjnbrn:
How does it have you installing it? CWM? I'd be hella afraid.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
yup if all goes well I'd boot to recovery. do a factory wipe and install from zip

if I remember right the rom I ported over was android 2.3.6

lol I wish there was a way to test this since haven't we had atleast one non recoverable bricking here already?

edit: I just finished the backup and went to install from zip. aparently I had the old updater script and need to have it convert to the newer one. my heart droped lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjnbrn:
yadspi I believe it was? But he warrantied his somehow, iirc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
I've only had the phone for a month so I'm sure I can probably take it back to a local store and swap it out. if it comes down to it that is I just rather not. ether way I'm going to try it in a sec....dun dun dunnnnnn
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjnbrn:
Fingers crossed!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
eh looks like I failed atleast for tonight. first one didn't have the right updater script. this one does but I just got a generic error in the zip (status 6). and its probably better that way because with as tired as I am I'd probably missed something catastrphic
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjnbrn:
You have been braver than most. Maybe after some rest and deep thought you will get it.

Of course, the day someone finally gets a ROM made, pantech will release ICS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
I know right! lol I think part of the issue is I need someone to compile the kernal and build a working boot.img (I've tried and failed several times on that alone. I have a feeling thats where its failing but I'm not positive.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusmarcus:
Does it work if you try and use one of the boot.img files from the zipped CWM backup files here?

I think I have got the kernel to compile following the pantech source code read me file, It made a zimage file. I just have no idea how to take the zimage file and make it into a boot.img file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
Found this if it helps

Extracting a boot.img

Good, now we have the zImage, but WTF to do with it?

Well, android usually (some samsung devices use a different boot.img method, ex: I9000) has the boot.img, inside of it we contain:

- ramdisk (required files to load the /system partition and continue the boot sequence)

- zImage (our kernel)

- pagesize

- base

- cmdline (some kernel paremetes used on boot)

To create your own boot.img, you need one from a nandroid backup that was made from CWM or AmonRA custom recoveries (there are other methods, but for those use the madteam forum )

The boot.img is located inside your /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/somedate/boot.img

You will also need the unpackbootimg and mkbootimg binaries, i this link there is the 64 bit version (wont work on 32 bit linux)

create an empty folder, copy the downloaded file inside, enter it and do:

tar zxvf bootimgtools.tar.gz

chmod 755 *

now copy the boot.img you got from the backup

and extract the boot.img with:

./unpackbootimg -i boot.img

this will create the files as explained above

Creating the boot.img

Before making the boot.img, we need some information from the files extracted

cat boot.img-base ( save the output #1)

cat boot.img-pagesize (save the output , place the value inside the Hex Value of this site, and copy the decimal value and save it #2)

cat boot.img-cmdline (save the output #3)

Good, now copy the compiled kernel (zImage) inside the current folder and do:

mkbootimg –kernel zImage –ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz –cmdline “(replace with output#3)” –base (replace withoutput #1) –pagesize (replace with output#2) -o /tmp/boot.img

Good, the boot.img is created!

Now test on your device!

If you dont know how to flash the boot.img, enter the madteam forum and request help (its too difficult to explain the flashing of boot.img if you dont know how to do it )

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
drunk or not I want ICS or atleast some hope of a cm port because if we can get cm9 we'd have more of a chance of upgrading to cm10 later on instead of the chance pantech will give us JB after ICS

honestly.. you really should have read previous post.. heres a great tip though on using xda. when you have an issue with your phone... use the search bar. find the post. read the entired thread. it may be alot of reading.. but you will usually be more informed when you walk away regardless if your issue was resolved or not. and btw thank you jcase attn1 and IOMonster you guys are saviors in this community and i applaud your hard work and time you have all spent on a phone that you guys dont even own yourselves. this is _KHAOS_ and im open for any testing so just hit me up... when im mobile andchat doesnt work due to sasl verification so hit me up on gtalk night.fury.wolf@gmail.com. :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theandre:
Once we get the root and bootloader stuff, where should we post all the custom ROMS and MODS?

This phone has amazing wifi reception. I spend a lot of time at my university's campus which has wifi scattered across the area, so it turns out the Burst connects to wifi even in places where Motorola Atrix/Atrix 2 can't see the wifi. This phone has amazing radio! Also during conferences when 100+ laptops are connected to the same network the Burst holds very well ,never loses connection. In similar conditions my Atrix 2 would always disconnect periodically.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazy_Jew:
Don't get your panties in a wad, I read the entire thread. What I meant was there was not a root available for download.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcase:
Wow, complain about root, then get rude with the guy that got it.

Learn to read/write then, what you said and "what you ment" were entirely different.

Root is available, while we are still working on some aspects, everyone that has asked for it, has gotten it. When we think its ready for publication, it will be. Right now it requires installing a patched firmware, not exactly the most fun (it wipes your device).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecubed:
Root is coming, once me and jcase figure out the boot.img format for this phone. It's a little different from what I'm used to. I just spent all night last night working on a extraction utility to extract the partitions from the firmware file we have.

One of us devs needs a device though... or some more testers :)

The thing is that they have ICS up a running because the Marauder has it, so it's gotta be close, I dunno what are they waiting for. As a side note I'm amazed that we have this thread and various sub-threads months ago with a nice community and still we don't have more than root and cwm
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevotdo:
Its at the point where I don't really care about offending the devs. **** or get off the pot. Other than them saying they had cm7 booting there has been no proof. No device folders uploaded to git, nothing. I'm not saying i'm requiring them to port cm7, i'm just saying, either you are or you aren't. You promise people something and them get mad when people ask for a status update. You say you are a dev, great, show us proof of your progress, if any, and we can go from there. It seems the only time a person didn't show their progress in this community is when there isn't any.

Nubs...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevotdo:
I'm asking a simple question that should have a simple answer. Never said I was promised anything. I have to much going on to spend time working on the burst and I acknowledge that, can the devs say the same?

I'm the reason why there are so many pissed off devs? I think ****ing not. Am I hounding them on twitter? No. Am I hounding them on irc? No. I am simply asking for a yes or no.

Is it not right of me to ask for methods they used to boot a custom kernel? Considering this forumn is supposed to be about help and sharing knowledge.

I can only assume "nubs" is an attempt to refer to my knowledge of the Android os. I ask you a question, what developing have you done.

Is my knowledge all encompassing? No. Am I a noob? No I am ****ing not.

I digress. Your right, from now on let's all stop asking devs any questions. No more questions that we need help with. When someone states they are working on something, let's not ask them how things are going. We'll just let them be, heaven forbid we are allowed to inquire about their progress.

Nubs....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
You said you didn't say you were promised?

I quote " You promise people something and them get mad when people ask for a status update. "
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevotdo:
Now your nit picking. I said that I wasn't promised anything but they did say they were working on it. So as far as the majority of others that frequent this thread, I do believe they feel as though they were promised.

As far as I'm concerned, there is one thing I can't stand and that is someone being untruthful.

I feel that there is one question and one question only that people are wondering. Are they still working on it. That's it. And for some reason, apparently that makes me an assh0le.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
As always this has gone on long enough. Ill just agree to disagree with you.

I'm thinking that we should keep this forum on topic . We are end users. I'm sure there are a few people working on this. I just don't take it lightly when people talk smack on devs ,that I feel have helped me in the past"attn1" "jcase" .

If your listening devs . Thank you for your time on all the phones you have helped me with in the past and this one.

I'm done arguing with you about this now.

Does anyone have a partition table for this device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevotdo:
I can agree with you on a few points as well and I could argue all day on others.

I mean no disrespect to the devs. My mind just works in absolutes and not in uncertainties. Either it is or it isn't. Black and white, the perils of being an aspie.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
FWIW guys, "you're" is a contraction of "you" and "are". "your" is a possessive pronoun. It is much easier to take the bickering seriously if the grammar is correct.

For the life of me I don't understand the lack of attention the Burst is getting, but the phone's working great for me and I certainly don't have time to work on a ROM. Wish I did. Sounds interesting and like a fun challenge. So thanks guys for getting root on it, and please do post any progress if there is any on getting CM7, CM9, or something where I can OC and get rid of this horrible lock screen. :)
