Well I know I didnt send it to them.

I have downloaded their version of cwm 6.0.1.4, ripping it apart now to see why it does not work.

Might have found why RomManager's cwm 6.0.1.4 is causing problems. It is not using an ICS presto kernel. not sure what it is using but, the 6.0.1.4 binary requires an ICS kernel. Sure hope they are using a presto kernel but I can not prove that. This alone would make it very unstable.

looks like they used a different binary then I did as well.

so far the recovery.vfat table is correct , it would not allow access to the internal storage but should work.

looks so far like RomManagers cwm 6.0.1.4 presto recovery would be crashing and writing junk in all partitions.

has anyone been able to get a burst bricked by rommanagers version back into emergency software update mode?

ok hope someone can find a fix for it cus this is the second burst i brick lol so still caling att to get a new one i need a phone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
It is one thing to be flashing a rom or a recovery from an individual, sort of understood that it has limited testing and might cause troubles. But from a company is another thing altogether. I myself would have trusted a recovery I downloaded from RomManager even over one I made myself.

as for recoverying the bricked phones, the only way to even write to any of the partitions is through bootloader. That itself is on partition 7.

If the phone can get into the emergency software update mode, it might be recoverable.

It I am afraid appears that as RomManagers CWM 6.0.1.4 crashes it is writing data to random partitions. When it writes to partition 7 there is no way to get back in to write the correct data back to partition 7. least not from the outside.

I have not had a Burst apart, but if there is a Jtag port, it might be possible from the inside.

if linux sees the phone under lsusb , it might not be the normal vendor or device id's, but if there is a differance between the phone connected and disconnected there might be a way in

for now, do not use a recovery from RomManager

It doesn't work. It seemed to work the first time when it tried to block out all 3G/4G networks in the area (GSM ONLY?). But in terms of being able to change between WCDMA / HSPA / 3G / 4G / 4G LTE there is absolutely NO way to change between networks when upgrading to ICS. Tried the test menu using the *#*#4636#*#* trick, tried Widgetzoid, everything. I am not the only one experiencing this issue, quite a few others are having the same problem.

I don't understand why everyone seems to be advocating this "2G" fix. Using ICS, there is absolutely NO WAY to change between WCDMA / HSPA / 3G / 4G / 4G LTE modes. Tried the test menu using the *#*#4636#*#* trick, tried Widgetzoid, everything. I am not the only one experiencing this issue, quite a few others are having the same problem. Very poor on behalf of Pantech.

This is an important & totally required function of the software. Pretty ridiculous the Pantech Burst engineers didn't see this one in their beta testing.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] judask24:
Actually This happened to me when I factory reset after the upgrade. For some reason, I think the Pc Suite doesn't install by itself after the factory reset. If you have the Pc Suite installed on your computer, Make sure, because it isn't enabled by default after reset, to turn on USB debugging, and plug it in. Pc Suite on your computer will detect your phone and it will install Pc Suite on your phone and it will appear in your apps. I thought I had lost the Pc Suite on my Burst after reset but it's there, just needs to be activated for install once you hook it up to computer after enabling USB debugging.

My phone works pretty well so far besides the battery issue that doesn't seem to go away. Here are the steps I have taken since the ICS update came out.

1. Updated to ICS via Pantech's update tool

2. Rooted the device using GB method. It will hang on boot after root so just remove the battery and reboot it.

3. Installed CWM via the hack notes

4. Installed SuperUser, Titanium Backup, and Root Explorer.

5. Uninstalled AT&T bloatware. Replaced boot animation. Disabled boot sound. Removed camera shutter sound.

6. Installed Nova Launcher.

7. Installed Google Now.

8. Make Nandroid backup from CWM. Save everything to your PC.

Phone runs like a champ!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkwind212:
My thought on the issue...

I think certain game like "NOVA 3" can only be played on devices with higher resolution such as 1024 *768 and so on. Even if you can install the game, you will not be able to see the whole game board on burst's screen. An example would be that game "Machinarium" It can only be played on device with minimum graphics resolution of 1024*768. It's an awesome puzzle game with beautiful graphics, and I can run it on burst with no speed lag, but the problem with 800 * 480 resolution of burst, there are parts of game board you just can't see, therefore you can't play the game correctly. So don't try too hard when they tell you that game is incompatible, they have their reasons.

P.S. BTW mr.72, winamp on my burst is jamming!!! Rocking to Smoky $R, and early Pink Floyd. May be you got a defective burst, I take it back to where ever I got it from if I were you. In all fairness, I did experienced the WIFI issue you were talking about. I did an unintentional Factory/Hard reset, and wiped almost everything off my phone, then my WIFI would look like it was on, but no data was being sent/received. However, after I first down grade back to GB and then run Pantech's ICS upgrade again, everything is working fine again, at least I can't find anything to complain about in past 3 days.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
LoL.

Buggy 3rd party software, must be defective hardware!

Anyway, I uninstalled Winamp and never looked back. That app is not worth trying to fix. Amazing how bad most of the music player apps are on Android, and how good they are comparatively on Apple products. Apple got it right with the iPod and everyone else is way, way behind.

bTunes cops the iPod vibe and works great for me.

Regarding my home wifi issues...

Thinking maybe it was WEP, I switched my hope to WPA and it still has the same problem... stops communicating while showing connected and blue bars along with the up and down arrows after it is asleep for >5 minutes or so. The annoying thing is that the phone doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with the data connection so it just gets NO data until you manually reset the connection.

So, it's not WPA vs. WEP. Who knows what it is then. Worked perfectly with GB and my tablet (on CM7, GB) works perfectly as well. This is definitely an ICS bug.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aed0101:
You can perform a Nandroid Backup, downgrade to Gingerbread and flash davepmer's ICS to see if the problem persists. If it does you'll be able to restore your Nandroid Backup.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
You and many other people have also not used your phone at my house.

Like I said, this problem is unique to my home wifi, as far as I can tell. At work, it seems to work fine. But something between my phone and my home wireless router does not agree. And I have about 5 PCs, about 6-7 other Android devices, a DVR and a Blu-Ray player that all work fine on my home wifi.

Anyway, while I appreciate you are trying to help, the fact is that there is no reason at all to suspect that this kind of extreme thing is going to help at all. The magic image you suggest doesn't have a different wireless radio, doesn't have different wifi settings, doesn't have any kernel tweaks to fix this kind of thing... it's no different in any way that could possibly be related to the problem. I hope that one of these days maybe someone might actually become interested in debugging the issue and then I am ready to engage in that effort. But wipe & reflash, especially with an intermediate downgrade involved, is foolish and a complete waste of time.

The better workaround for me is to just use 4G at my house until we get CM9, and at that time I will flash CM9. I know that then there will be developers who are interested in fixing issues and I can work with them to resolve it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
I am sure Google really does not represent their position as institutionally inferior to Apple in the same way as you present it. If what you say above is true, then it is true that no matter what, Android always will be inferior to Apple's iOS.

Of course, this is completely false. It's simply a matter of Apple having had a marketing priority and over a decade of refinement that leads them to have a far superior product design when it comes to their music app, compared to the fragmented model that has resulted in dozens of poor quality music apps on Android. It really shows when comparing the Google Music app on Android to the iPod app on an iPhone. This really demonstrates the difference in priority and development life cycle of the two companies. OTOH, Google's Maps and Navigation on Android is brilliant and absolutely the best in the class. Apple is playing catch-up big time. Google has been focusing on maps as a marketing priority for the same decade while Apple was focused on media, and the result is similar: they have a far better product (full disclosure, twice my wife worked for Google in the Maps outfit, I am quite familiar with this strategy). There are many other examples in both cases.

The premise that an open-source model is guaranteed to produce inferior product is patently untrue. Any fair comparison will find that Android is at least equal to if not superior to Apple's iOS, and there are certainly Android-based phone hardware that are superior to the iPhone. And running across market spaces, it is very clear that for many things, Linux is far superior to Windows or Apple's OSX or any other commercial OS, and there are thousands upon thousands of products based on a core of Linux from DVRs and gaming consoles to car stereos and servers. You name it, Linux is probably at the core. If the open-source model were not at least as good as the alternative, then you would not find the widespread use of cutting-edge, high-quality Linux-based operating systems.

More full-disclosure: in my last job I was a developer on a Linux-based IT appliance and in my current job I am working with a Linux-based network measurement device, so I am fully informed as to the quality of Linux and applicability in demanding, high-end applications. I may also be biased. At my current company we also make a product that is built upon a Windows XP core. You can guess which of the two I prefer.

Out of curiosity. When you are experiencing the wifi issue, is the IP showed under wifi settings correct. (click on your access point name)

I ask because I believe I just had the same thing. Phone woke from sleep. Showed that it was connected but no data. In my wifi settings it showed connected and an IP of 192.168.56.x which is incorrect for my network. It should be 192.168.0.x So I manually entered my IP, dns, and gateway address and bingo, internet access.(long press access point name and select modify)

This is the first time I've had a problem with my wifi.

Edit : Yeah, i'm not sure wtf is going on with my wifi on my phone. I just lost data again and my IP was reverted back to the incorrect IP. That should not happen when the IP is set manually. It should not change.
