Guys, Noob alert.

So its been about 6 months of me and my burst.

i thought i wanna tinker with it. Can someone guide me to a proper Tutorial to root it ?

and Which is the most stable rom available ? I am still on the stock gingerbread(didnt upgrade to ics bcoz of the network lock thingy)

I have never rooted a phone before, but i am used to flashing roms .

TIA
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan-31:
See my first post here for an easy way to root it. Why wont it update to stock ICS? I think you can do that without a problem with the network or carrier, is that what you mean? Try it: https://www.pantechusa.com/upgrade/burst/

After rooting you have to install clockworkmod. I think thats easy but I forgot what that involves.

Install cm-10-xxxxxx, from this page: http://code.google.com/p/devsnest-developments/downloads/list

Could someone please build a PAC-man rom for burst? Now that we have CM, PA and AOKP on the same page.

EDIT: Also, with most errors fixed on CM10, I think GPS remains the only key issue. Developers please look in to that in next build.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevotdo:
GPS should be working. What build are you running.

Edit : Just tested a fresh install, working fine. Test it with "GPS Test" from the Android market.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusmarcus:
Current PA build is version 2.57.5. I believe that pie control is in version 3.+ of Paranoid Android. I've tried building that version a few times but it is based on Android 4.2 so we will have to wait for cm 10.1 to be working before we can build pa3+.

You could also try the app in the play store.

Considering the Burst for my daughter thats 10... Seems like the perfect phone for her; Decent specs for the price. How is CM10, what are the major issues/bugs with the latest nightlies. This wil definitely be a deciding factor for me. Ultimately, I can buy, upgrade to ICS, root, and remove bloatware but a stable version of CM10 would be nice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan-31:
No major issues, its really nice now. Everything works for all three roms. Magnet sensor needs testing but its really minor (I never use it).

See here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Pantech_Burst (offline charging, usb tether)

and here:

Ok I saved a copy of that file.

How do I disable the "AOKP statistics" notification? Its a common issue. I tried different things. I dont want to enable the stats.

Edit: I think I fixed it. I had to go to Settings -> About phone and change the settings there and pressed back. It did not work if I did this from the Notification area.

For the AOKP rom I was getting a "clock has stopped" mesg at boot time. I cleared the app data for clock and its ok now.

Anyone know of how to get 2g/3g to work on the burst? Besides the methods already shown on various sites. Being I have root, and worse off pantec's ics upgrade, my phone is always in 4g so I can't get my att to use data. I can only use wireless. I don't want to go back to gingerbread and do that whole thing. Because it may still not work when I change it in gb then have the 2g/3g stay when goin to ics again. That would suck!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] affiatic:
from what i read hard brick. wont turn on at all. pc says "qhsusb_dload no driver found"

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarryW3:
I was messing with an app called widgetoid that would have the option of 2g only. Not sure what you mean by can't get att to use data. Hope that help though.

Tried that, no dice. Also tried secretcoderevealer. Problem is apparently, depending what u had you're data connection set to, 4g will be stuck to 4g (wcdma) when you do the ics upgrade.

Slow/inaccurate touch screen? (Swype in particular)

Got my Pantech Burst today. Sweet phone for the $! Seems very fast overall but ran into an issue right off the bat. Compared to all the other recent Androids I've have (Inspire, Galaxy S, Bravo among others) Swype is crazy slow & inaccurate. If I turn on option to show complete trace it is clear what is up. The lines I draw to make the words are jagged & ends too soon, well before where I actually lifted my finger off. Even without show complete on the line finishes drawing after I lift my finger. Does it on any screen I try to enter text on like texting app, entering web address & email app. Thought maybe it was a swype issue so tried the included sketch pad to scribble. WOW there is a huge delay from what I draw. I doesn't have the jaggies like swype did though, lines are very smooth, but the line finishes a good 1/2 second after I lift my finger.

Possible the screen needs to be calibrated or the digitizer is bad or ?? Anyone else notice this?

I bought the phone used off ebay so not sure on history of it but it looks like new. Booted up into the post reset wizard which I stepped/skipped thru to get to main screen to do some playing around.

Thx!

Bill

EDIT: OK so problem stopped, at least for now. All I did was shutdown, remove the 'unregistered sim' that was shipped in it & boot back up without a sim. So perhaps all that was a needed was a reboot or maybe it didn't like that sim.. Either way swype is working correctly & sketches are speedy. Very strange! Still hoping it's not a bad touchscreen but guess time will tell. (Tempted to put the sim back in & eliminate that. lol)

Hope this is a running thread on burst issues...

thanks to you all got it rooted and totally easy..

But for the sake of the lord himself i cannot get it to tether...

running it off a straight talk sim..

whole purpose of getting this was to root,so it could tether to desktop (extremly light surfing only)

is there a post on how to get this thing broadcasting? my s2 skyrocket does this fine with same exact programs and apn settings...am i missing something?

btw i used wireless tether for root (popular one) and paid version of easy tether and followed all directions,and one other tether prog...All to no avail

PLEASE help me tether this s.o.b. !!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divine1250:
Yes I read the readme that came in the kernel source. One mistake I know I made was the "make -j3 ARCH=arm". The readme says it should be "make -j4 ARCH=arm".

Also read that I need to be on Ubuntu 9.4 so I just installed it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yadspi:
Make sure that you are not charging it while using it for something that requires accuracy because it gets very laggy when it's charging, try swype charging and then unplug it to see the difference
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedigras:
Google search reveals that "Note that the "-j2" below should be replaced by -j# where # is the number of cores you have on your compiler."

So basically, it's just an optimizer flag that tells the compiler how many threads to use. Shouldn't really make a difference.

Check out this link. http://cboard.cprogramming.com/linux-programming/114536-kernel-building-error.html. Looks like it's related to cross compiling for ARM on a x86 machine w/o the CROSS_COMPILE flag set.

To the paitence, helpful/nice people:

Thank you, you need not read further, it's just venting.

To the inpatient complainers:

So this morning, while I am working on it, some random ignorant kid decided to effectively call me a thief on twitter, about all the money I took for the pantech and how I ran off on everyone, told me how I didn't deliver. Then I stop by here and see crud like the quote below

What is wrong with you?

Lets be clear, I took $0, nothing notta.

Did I not deliver on my promise? I was asked to spend my free time to root it. Not only did we deliver, we delivered in several ways. attn1 and I spent hours on initial root, then IOMonster came in and spent hours more getting a modified boot img to actually boot. A lot of time actually went into what appears to be so simple. We did not have firmware to work with, we had to gain root, to dump the initial firmware. It was not as simple as flashing a modified boot.img, because no one had firmware at that time! (We also arranged for your only leak/stock firmware for restoring devices)

Yeah I delivered, more than once, and I didn't even have the phone and don't even have AT&T.

Attn1 asked for donations to get jznomoney a burst, three people donated, it was enough, he stopped asking. None of those three people have expressed issue with the rate of progress, if they do, they are welcome to their money back.

We spent a lot of time, for free on this, and we still are. Not only is this a phone without proper ICS proprietaries, we have families, jobs, and other projects. One of us had a family emergency that also delayed progress. This is going to take time, if you think otherwise than you are ignorant of what goes into this kind of work.

Grow up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divine1250:
Wow. Thats what it took to get a response from you after how long.And stop acting like donations weren't taken. Pretty sure everyone remembers this taking place. Then everyone disappeared with no word on anything. Which is why I have been trying my hand at this and learning along the way. Didn't think it was fair to those who follow this thrashes and had their hopes up. I may or may not succeed as easily as you guys who have been doing this a long time, but my efforts are because I care about the developement on this device.

If anybody having problems getting SDK to find java this is how you fix it

Set the JAVA_HOME Variable

Once you have the JDK installation path:

Right-click the My Computer icon on

your desktop and select Properties.

Click the Advanced tab. Click the

Environment Variables button. Under System Variables, click New.

Enter the variable name as JAVA_HOME.

Enter the variable value as the installation path for the Java Development Kit.

Click OK.

Click Apply Changes.

You might need to restart windows.

wifi issues

Just got my second burst on ebay. Both units have problems with my wifi at work.

The phone stays connected to the network and reports 'good' connection, but eventually it will always stop sending/receiving data. It never actually disconnects. I can browse web pages for about 1 minute, then it stops working. If I turn wifi off, then back on, I can browse for 1 minute again.

I do not have access to the router. Anyway, this is not a router problem. My LG Optimus had zero problems for 1 year with my work wifi.

This is happening in stock ICS and CM10. I know someone has reported similar issues. Anyone found a solution?

I have a Trendnet router. I've not had any problems on any phone with it. I just used my Pantech burst for one hour continuously (browsing Reddit and Youtube). I had no disconnections and have not seen any ever with these customs roms or the stock roms.

I have a secured wifi at home and I'm the only one using it. If your wifi signal is weak or if its overloaded, those could be the cause of disconnections? But you say your previous phone used to work fine. Hope you can find a fix.

Wifi security is WPA-PSK.

Another thing: One of the roms had a built in wifi priority system. When I used an additional Wifii priority app, I got disconnects. So I disabled the app, so only the phone's internal wifi priority system is handling it (otherwise there is a conflict)

RE: wifi issues

I couldn't replicate the wifi problem elsewhere. I surfed 2 hours at home (secured) last night and 30 minutes at a cafe (unsecured). I think the router at work and the Burst just hate each other. It's really sad that it works everywhere else but the office where I spend 40 hours per week :crying:

Anyway, CM10 is great overall! Although, I have noticed it uses slightly more battery than stock ICS. Also, when I watch Al Jazeera's live stream, the graphics break up. Other videos are no problem and stock ICS no problem. Could be a driver problem?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan-31:
Maybe Catlog will show something when its disconnecting? Yea, this could be something to do with the router. Maybe its doing something thats less common or non-standard.

For me it does good on battery, not too different from stock as far as I can tell. At night when I'm sleeping, if wifi and celular is on (but not data), it takes about 0.7%/hour. Browsing reddit/youtube is about 15-20%/hour.

Al-J videos also showed up effects for me. Youtube worked fine.
