u mean ..prestoroot.img extracting from this file..actually i tried this also by renaming to .zip but it says invalid archive.

we have to use it just as it is i.e. prestoroot.img...

last time i managed somehow , i should had made a note.. bad memory :rolleyes:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot prestoroot.img

then reboot and install Superuser.apk
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tovivekmishra:
ya i am following that same step by step method

->i am connecting the phone ,PC installs the drivers on its own and then says the device is ready

->then i execute the command adb reboot bootloader ,it restarts my phone in fastboot mode

-> and simultaneously it starts search for the adb drivers and tries to install it but fails

(At this point i have tried installing drivers by running pdaNet but it says drivers already exists but when i try to reinstall on top of that it says i have to disconnect the device (whereas i am in fastboot mode) and then cancel the installation and roll back the process.

I have tried installing thro usb named file ,it installs also but nothing works

-> Even after this i try to execute the fastboot command but it is stuck at screen saying "waiting for device"

->then i have to pull out the battery and restart.

This is what i am going thro

i dont know what m missing

EDIT:

So i found the solutioon finalleeee ....To all people who are facing driver issues just like me OR anyone who just want to ROOT their pantech burst in easy way or should i say one click Yes just ONE click ;) .go search for this file

Root with Restore by Bin4ry v3.rar

i found this on some other forum, but i think it is available on xda too... only concern for me is ..the way it did the whole process fully automatically...it is SAFE ?? anyway i have already rooted my phone with this method in less than a minute.

Thanks to the guy who made this ..many many thanks...

Did i Brick my burst?

I think i bricked my burst. I can access recovery, but it says, failed to load, or failed to mount, etc.. i can go to S/W upgrading mode, and can actually download software using , pdl for GB or stock ICS method.. but at the end of the download, it is not getting rebooted to home screen.

i think i messed with partitions , donno how i did !

Its not even getting charged i guess.!!

Did i actually Bricked my mobile? or their is other way of restoring it to normal?

please help.. thanks. :)

Did you install Java developers sdk and Android sdk. They would have the adb drivers i'm pretty sure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm2racer:
I thought that at least for some phones, restricting the frequencies is being done at the request of the carrier (e.g. AT&T). This may not be the case with the Burst, but you can enable 3G on 850Mhz on the the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S even though it officially only supports 3G on 900/1900/2100. It'd be nice to have a way to enable 3G on 900Mhz and 1700Mhz to make the phone truly global capable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Dunno what you mean by "battery backup", but the method of calibrating the battery will not result in longer battery life. At best it will result in more accurate battery gauge in the status bar, if your battery stats are hosed to begin with.

And BTW, there is some google blogger post kicking around somewhere that suggests that battery calibration has no effect. It is demonstrably true that the correlation between battery voltage and % charged is stored (somehow) in the battery stats file. You know this because if you delete the file then your battery will "show" 100% regardless of the actual charge (voltage) level.

Anyway, to improve battery life there are a lot of things you can do, but battery calibration is not going to help with that.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
well I do not think your phone is bricked but without knowing what you did or having the phone I can not really say what you need to do to get it back. my guess would be to try

to down loade the cwm-5.0.2.7-presto.img recovery image, and one of the ice roms, try my JUUS09032012.zip. pull the sdcard and copy JUUS09032012.zip to the sdcard

then reinsert the sdcard to the phone. have cwm-5.0.2.7-presto in the same folder as adb and fastboot. Then

adb reboot boot loader and once phone is in bootloader

fastboot boot cwm-5.0.2.7-presto.img wait for phone to boot into this recovery.

once in recovery, wipe data, format system, and finally try to install the JUUS09032012.zip

if phone boots you are most of the way home, if phone does not boot let me know.

fastboot?

well.. u can say, i really messed with my burst, coz of my previous problem , " continuous reboot" . What ever i did, that problem didnt solve, I went back to factory stock rom using pdl and pantech 3.3 upgrade tool , it didnt work, and then upgraded to ICS stock rom , it didnt work.. rooted , CWM installed, CWM recovery restored ROM, even then it didnt work.... The only thing that worked on my burst with out that continuous problem is, Cyanogen Mod ROM, as Its not Usable , i went back to stock ICS. I need to play music on my headphones, all the time , to solve that problem.

well, yesterday night i again started messing it, with ROM Manager. installed , CWM 6.0 version( touch/smthing) , and advanced CWM version listed on ROM manager. And finally, i wanted to install GB stock ROM.. it wont install, and from then all this problem started. This is all i did.

Regarding my present problem, I can use pantech 3.3 upgrade tool and download pdl into my burst, but it wont reboot, it just stays on that S/W Upgrading screen. when i pulled out my battery , reinsert , it still stays on that S/W upgrading screen. recovery wont work. So, i tried upgrading it to stock ICS , and at the end of download it wont reboot to home screen, all it shows is blank screen. In ICS, i can access to recovery, but it says several lines of mounting failed, cant mount sd.. except reboot and internal memory partitions , other options in recovery wont work.

Tried it through adb , but it wont recognize my device. may be its coz, debugging is not enabled .

Is their any way to force my device into fastboot mode?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeekyBlindGuy:
Hello again,

I finally got my Burst rooted, and CWM installed. Also installed Busybox, but not sure if that's really useful. Now I come to the fun part... debloating. What's the best way to debloat my Burst? I know freezing apps is possible, but I'm not quite sure what I need to do that. Truthfully, I wish there was a list of bloatware on the Burst that I could consult so I know what I'd like to freeze or remove. Any advice, utility recommendations, or tips would be helpful. By the way, if there's ROM's missing the bloatware and keeping the Burst functioning as much as possible, I'm interested in hearing about them. Once I've got this problem solved, then I'll consider unlocking my Burst for use on another carrier. Once again, thanks in advance...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishnurajanme:
I donno how it is possible bro. I am getting more battery backup after wiping the battery stats. I will share a snapshot of my battery graph by today evening for proof. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Well I guess if I knew what "battery backup" means in this context, then maybe it'd make more sense.

The batty stats primary effect is the relationship between % on the battery meter vs. the actual voltage. It doesn't affect battery life at all. What it does affect is what is displayed in the battery gauge.

So for example if you let your phone drain to 50%, then fire up the battery calibration app and hit "calibrate", then suddenly it'll say 100% even though it's only half charged. But if you charge it, it will charge all the way back up to 100% and eventually your phone will figure out that the stats are screwed up and it'll do what it's supposed to do.

If you do what the battery stats app says, then you charge to 4200mv and then hit "calibrate", and it will only say 100% when it is 4200mv.

I think the issue many of you were talking about is indeed bad battery stats file whereby you upgrade and reboot the phone, and it went from 90+% before the reboot to <80% after reboot. But the actual battery voltage is not changed. So the actual battery LIFE is not changed. It still goes dead at the same point in time, it only says 90% when fully charged rather than saying 100%. That's it. If you redo the calibration then it restores 4200mv=100% rather than 4200mv=90% like it is after you upgraded.

And FWIW, I find that whenever I reboot my phone with ICS nowadays, it drops 10% battery life. And I would like to think it is bad battery stats, but it is not. It's actually losing voltage. If I reboot it when it is 100%, it comes back at under 90%, but it's under 4000mv. For guys like me who have to ride on planes all the time and reboot the phone, this is a serious pain, and I think it has to do with the media scanning and SD card rather than any software bug... in other words, I think it's a side effect of one of those awesome ICS "features".

Which is why I am asking about CM9. or CM10. Or something that has devs listening and fixing things.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishnurajanme:
Bro, do you know any methods to increase battery life further?

In my older android phones, (LG Optimus one and Motorola Defy 2, I never faced such weird issues even on ICS) I am satisfied with the battery backup I am getting on my device, but that will be a rare case I guess after reading this forum.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Further than what?

You can increase the battery life in numerous ways. First thing is to figure out what's causing the battery drain.

1. turn the screen down to the minimum brightness (there are three levels on the Burst, the dimmest is just fine for indoor use).

2. you can use SetCPU to change the CPU behavior in terms of clocking. This can dramatically improve battery life at a cost.

3. Turn off LTE

4. Turn on WiFi and hang out in good wifi coverage areas

5. Turn off any email push notifications, change email to check every 15 minutes max during peak times

6. turn off other auto push data stuff like photo syncing and that kind of thing

7. turn off GPS unless you are using it

8. Don't power-cycle or reboot the phone!

There are other things you can do, but this is a good start. Now, on my Burst I have done almost none of these things... I have the screen min brightness and leave WiFi on (except it doesn't work at my house... there is some kind of dhcp/arp bug in the OS), no push enabled, and limited syncing like photos and dropbox and whatever. My phone easily lasts all day every day with moderate use. With heavy use or in poor coverage areas it dies quickly. The biggest factor is coverage area.

If you are serious about battery life and not serious about performance then we can hack on the CPU speeds and governor and get more battery life out of it that way. But frankly, if this is your goal, get a lower-CPU phone with a lower-resolution screen and a bigger battery and you will be much happier. With moderate/normal use a stock Burst will easily last throughout a typical 16-hour usage cycle, enough to charge it at night.

I guess you havn't done a restore using cwm 6.x yet have you? Thats when things go wrong from what i've read because it writes to the wrong partition. So, if you havn't done a restore yet, go back to cwm 5.x.

Anyone thought about building an AOSP 4.1 rom for the burst?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeekyBlindGuy:
First of all, thanks to those here on XDA who provided advice on rooting and debloating my Burst...

Everything seems to be working fine, the Burst runs smoothly, and all that garbage AT&T stuffed on my phone is nothing more then a memory. I did want to mention two apps I found very useful after rooting... Gemini App Manager and SD Maid.

Gemini App Manager is a task manager with the ability to freeze apps as well, and it's free in the Play Store... I think, but am not sure that there might be a paid version as well, but don't quote me on that. As for SD Maid, I'd call it a system cleaner... It removes that junk left behind after uninstalling apps, can clean logs and other fluff on your Burst (even in the system areas), and can freeze and uninstall bloatware (safely, it seems). Only gotcha here is you've got to be rooted to take full advantage of SD Maid's features. Oh, it's free, but there is a paid version as well... I will end this by saying use these apps at your own risk, and I (nor anyone else on XDA) are responsible if you screw things up.

P.S. Anyone have any success with using a bluetooth keyboard with their Burst? Have one being delivered today, and hoping it will work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwguenther:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
Believe that would be the one I posted and have been using for over a month now. Some say it does not work all the time, but I have not heard of a phone damaged by it. By not working all the time, some say they had to wipe data twice before it actually erased it. same with system. I have not had that problem yet.

When people started having bricked phones I thought it was somehow from the one I had posed so I pulled it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeekyBlindGuy:

Well, got the keyboard, but thanks to a busted micro-USB port, it's useless... Thankfully I paid under $10 for it brand new, so not a huge loss.

I'm in need of a unmodified ICS ROM for the Burst, as I've fiddled a bit too much with the current one on my device, stripping out things I thought were pointless, but now realizing I shouldn't have been so flippant about yanking what I'd consider junk off my Burst. I'd like to restore it to complete stock, but failing that, I'd at least like to know if by doing what I did, if I decide to do a factory reset (since I stripped out system apps), I wonder if I'm still stuck with what I did, or will things revert to a rooted stock ROM with all the apps intact... Oy, I made a hash of this. At least I didn't brick my Burst.

Any links to the needed files to do a complete stock ICS restore would be appreciated... will even revert the recovery image once I get the main system restored.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeekyBlindGuy:
I found a quick way to revert my Burst completely to stock... All I needed to do was to grab the ICS upgrade tool, and snag the PDL file from it, download the download tool used to restore to GB, but use the ICS PDL file in place of the GB PDL, and my phone was returned to stock ICS without incident. I confirmed everything was working, and rerooted my Burst and replaced the stock recovery with the properly functioning version of CWM (not 6.x, but the 5.x version). Now I've just stripped out a majority of the AT&T stuff that I know I won't be using, and left stuff like AT&T Smart Wifi, My AT&T and AT&T Messages (for visual voicemail). Also took out a couple of Pantech items, such as S-Board and Sketchpad. Otherwise, it's still stock. I'm not sure if what I did to fix my Burst will cause issues, but so far, seems to be running smooth.

Here's the ICS PDL file for the Burst which I managed to grab from Pantech's ICS upgrade tool for the Burst... Please keep in mind that it's unaltered in any way, and I'd hazard a guess that the bootloader this comes with is locked. I'm providing this for those who need to restore ICS to absolute stock for some reason, but if you're on GB and managed to unlock your bootloader, this might relock it and may possibly brick your Burst. Those disclaimers out of the way, I'll shut up and let people get to downloading this file.
