anyway to root burst from the phone?

Is there a way to root the burst from the phone its self? I know with my optimus v I rooted and installed cwm and cyanogen 7 from my phone. Had to download a few apps to get the stuff on my sd card but it worked. So if theres a way to do it please lemme know.

Btw I have the ics update

Did not solve yet.

well... as far as i know, i didnot install any new app, but during travel , i do remember that, i am too harsh with my mobile, took off battery without powering it down , and inserted spare battery, and from then , i guess, it all started.

Reinstalled Stock ICS again, using S/W upgrading mode, and that doesnot solve my problem.

And now using CWM , i restored GB on my burst, but still the problem exists.. let me follow other steps of installing davepmer or gabuzz deodexed roms, and will let u know. Thank U .

I've this mobile I want to upgrade it to latest os from 2.3.5 so what should I do, I'm using it in Pakistan

I've downloaded its update n pc suite from pantech website

how to check whether my set is rooted and it will not get locked

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisoman2000:
to check for root you can download root checker from the play store. When i upgraded to ICS from gingerbread my phone stayed unlocked(I keep the carrier unlock code just in case though). When i have downgraded from ics to gingerbread though, the phone gets carrier locked and i have to input the carrier unlock code again.

to update you just need the updater that you downloaded from pantech.

Continuous Reboot

Im still facing this Continuous Reboot problem.

Only on battery , this reboot happens and on power or usb or during usage on battery, it doesnt reboot.

as of now , i made the display time to 10 minutes just to make it ON, and after 10 minutes it reboots. i.e after screen sleeps.

I tried, different battery, diff settings, diff ROM's ( GB, ICS,) , and in CWM tried resetting all values, cleaned cache, dalvik, battery.. all..

Im thinking some system file related to battery or system state has to do something with my mobiles condition... even tried cross checking files with my friends burst... found many differences though... now the question is which file to add/delete/modify? can someone here , help me..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
if you downgrade to gb don't use the pantech update tool to go back to ICS. I mean it would be kind of pointless if your going threw the effort to unlock the bootloader to go and turn around and relock it again. it would be just as easy to root and install cwm after you downgrade, install either gabuzz or davepmer's ics roms and you would have the new rom without the new bootloader and all will be well with the world again
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlasFamous:
I can think of following possibilities:

1. You have corrupted the lock method specific apk. See if setting locking method to none solves your issue.

2. You have used some utility like system tuner, and set it to use minimal resources when screen is off / phone is not in use. Now these minimal resource use limit set by you is less than what is required to keep the system running, hence a reboot is getting forced. See if you have too many active applications? A factory data reset should help in either case.

3. You have a hardware fault (less likely). Time to get your burst replaced.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leeladon:
need to keep my burst busy..!

Did factory reset again, but that didnt change anything ..

and next kept my mobile busy with all apps active, even on screen off, like bluetooth, sync, gps, and this setting making it lost longer, before it again reboots...

installed CPU Tuner, made a diff profile for screen off, kept it on high frequencies .. and then activated sync, etc... this giving much longer time before it reboots again...!!

i dont understand this misbehavior of my burst..!! It's pretty obvious that a file got corrupted, but the question is, Can a file be untouched even after a factory reset?? anyone know of such system files, which effect the behavior of mobile, even after Factory reset?

thanks..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rquinn19:
Factory reset doesn't touch the system partition, only data and cache. Install a factory image.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlasFamous:
Your sleep profile is messed up apparently. Whenever CPU usage are low, your burst is trying to wipe some critical processes from RAM. Here are two things you can try before restoring a system image (if all fails).

1. Increase VM heap size. Do it by changing build.prop (either manually or you can use System Tuner for that, it's a nice handy app)

2. Free up your RAM/Internal memory by uninstalling/disabling bloatware, and moving non-system apps to media partition.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisoman2000:
you can find unroot method in the pantech burst essentials thread(use the search button, there's a link on the signature of one of the topic posters too).

Each version has its pros and cons, Gingerbread has a bigger keyboard and in my case i had more free ram. ICS has a cooler layout(I love the shortcut bar at the bottom) but it gives me less free ram.

carrier unlock code: depends on where you bought it, your carrier could actually sell you the code too.

Just remember, if you update you wont need the carrier unlock code, but once you update and you decide to downgrade your phone will become carrier locked again.

Greetings... I've been reading up on the Pantech Burst, which I got into my hands a couple of days ago. Based on what I've read so far, the rooting process looks fairly straightforward, even for a Burst with ICS on it like mine (It came from the store like that, I didn't upgrade it). A couple of questions come to mind, however:

1. Should I just root my Burst, and try to determine which bloatware to strip out, or is there a ROM that will make sure as much of the Burst's original functionality works as possible, yet leaves out the bloatware from AT&T and Pantech?

2. If it's better for me to root and strip the bloatware out, what's safe to rip out, and what absolutely needs to stay? Can certain apps be totally replaced if needed?

Any answers or pointers to answers would be extremely helpful, as I intend for the Burst to become my primary mobile so I can kiss my current one (an iPhone 4) goodbye once and for all.

Thanks in advance...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rquinn19:
If you're already on ICS just root and debloat yourself. Use something like Titanium Backup and freeze the apps you don't want. I froze everything ATT related plus FB and Twitter and others (Google Books Magazines etc). One custom rom is just deodexed stock and the other is debloated, but pretty much still feels stock and has some bloat still in it IMHO. Don't bother downgrading and all that. Just root and freeze/ uninstall apps. If somethings broke after freezing you just defrost it, no harm no foul. Safer than deleting.

need to REINSTALL the ICS build

Friends i am in trouble after installing 4.2 camera...PLS HELP !!

So here is what i did..

->Installed the new 4.2 camera and edited the build.prop,changed the gallery n everything just as mentioned in below post

on omgdroid

->camera was working fine infact loved it ,was v good and snappy , photosphere was also working partially or may b i was not able to use it fully,video was not working

->Now everything was working like normal after then i thought to remove the system apps, like google plus . First i froze it through titanium backup but then later i decided to better remove it, so removed google+ through Root Explorer by going into system/apps and removing the apk

->After that i became greedy ;) and started removing other system apps also like most of the AT&Ts . one by one. Some of them i removed are magazines, videos ,notes,weather etc

->Just so when i thought i am done with them i tried exiting Root explorer but then my root explorer didn't exit properly sort of crashed and my phone restarted but got stuck on AT&T Rethink Possible LOGO

->After this i tried doing Factory Reset and then i completed my intial setup .but as i completed, it is giving blank home screen though I can access settings and notification panels ,fone is working normally i can recieve calls - but home screen is blank all the time

->After this i did factory reset 5-6 times, but same result everytime. Also when i restart my phone ,i am stuct at AT&T rethink screen but when i do factory reset i can restart and get past the AT&T Rethink Logo and enter the setup process and complete the things but again the same blank home screen problem comes.

->My fone is on ICS after upgrading from GB through the official method

->My phone was rooted ,i dont know if after factory reset(which i did 5-6times) the root is gone .pls confirm

->i believe i dont have CWM installed

->i have original build.prop as backup in SDcard also when i edited build.prop file ,it created the backup there itself in the same folder.

->i have gallery2 file also as backup.

->I have not made any other kind of backup ;(

->I just want my fone back to normal,doesn't matter if i need to downgrade to GB n then upgrade to ICS or whatever

->Or whether i can re-install the ICS build again?? Actually i tried reinstalling thro' upgrade route but it said my phone is already on the latest version.

Guys Pls Help !!!!!!!!..what are my OPTIONS

First of all thankyou soooo much , u guys ROCKKKK, this community rocksss !!!!!

thanx Davepmer,

actually i was very impatient and renamed the ROM as update.zip and run that android recovery but it gave error and aborted.

After that i downloaded .pdl file of GB and ver 3.3 tool. with that i flashed it to ICS though i thought it'll install GB as it was mentioned in the article also from where i downloaded the file. .pdl file was around 580mb size after extracting. Nevertheless i was happy after seeing ICS, everything back to normal.

But still m puzzled .

@Omdhar thankyou so much for the file but i'll keep it or distribute to other needy ones.

I had no patience after i got my mobile back to normal except that network lock,So i went to ebay , luckily a guy was selling in Rs 35/- so i contacted him and he happened to be in my city only , so i spoke to him and that good fella did it for FREE ;) .i thanked him many times.

Now one last help i want , is to get root access. I have read all over and the process is straight forward infact i had my phone rooted before all this happened to me as i have mentioned in my starting post also.

-that time i did it somehow and i dont remember exactly bcoz it is giving the same error of driver not found when i am in fastboot mode whereas i know perfectly that it is installed. I faced this same situation first time when i was trying to root .I

tried installing drivers thro pdanet while in fastboot itself and also that [USB_Driver]PSMN_Install_V1_1_0_0.exe file.Also i have PC suite installed ..nothing is working ....

everytime it is stuck at waiting for device screen after i run the fastboot command..
