That's the only site that is still up, all the other sites all gone 404, so I don't know what elseto tell you other than get another phone. Really, you cant blame those people for taking down their sites, they probably don't think anybody else is still using this phone. I have some of the rom files i may be able to give them to you over my google drive. I have to dig around my hard drive though. Let me know if you want them.

Above is my google drive link. It has cm10, slimbean, liquid smooth kk, gapps for jb and kk. it's all compressed in a .rar file. This is the first time i have created a google drive link, so if you cant download the file, let me know. BTW, these files all have been i nstalled and ran on my p9070, so if you cant get them to run on your burst, I can't help you out there. Also, I have the original gb and ics firmware, if you need them too, let me know.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevotdo:
It is normally but it can be helpful to do it this way if your testing multiple boot.img's. Because on reboot it will boot the img still flashed in memory. You can send a raw kernel and ramdisk to without having to combine them first. It can be very helpful when testing new kernels for when they fail to boot. Just reboot and you still have a booting phone

CarrierIQ removal?

Anyone figure out how to remove CarrierIQ from our phones? I've found apps to download and kill the running processes, but on reboot they have to be run again. I'd like to uninstall CIQ from the phone as much as possible so that it is rendered useless.

I can I just SU and rm -rf /system/bin/iqmsd so that it can't communicate? Or is that not enough?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
Well renaming iqmsd to iqmsd.bak would do the same thing but the lob file /system/lib/libiq_client.so still loads up and renaming it causes a fc.

fastboot reboot

Here is what I did to get root on mine, maybe it will clear up things for others.

*Note, I am on 64bit Windows so folders will be different on 32bit windows.

On phone:

go to settings > Applications > Development > turn on USB Debugging

On Computer:

1-Download and install Pantech PC Suite from here

2-Launch Pantech PC Suite and update if it asks. When PC Suite is fully updated, plug phone into computer until device is recognized.

3-Download and install Android SDK from here

4-Start SDK Manager and check the box next to “Android SDK Platform-tools” and install package.

5-Download prestoroot.img from here and save it to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools”

6-Download cwm-5.0.2.7-presto.img from here and save it to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools” as well

7-Now open your command line and navigate it to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools” folder

Run the following command

adb reboot bootloader

When the bootloader screen shows up on your phone then wait a few seconds to make sure your phone is recognized by the computer then run the following command

fastboot boot prestoroot.img

After phone reboots itself, shut the phone down and turn it back on again.

Then run the following command

adb reboot bootloader

When the bootloader screen shows up again then type the following commands

fastboot flash recovery cwm-5.0.2.7-presto.img

fastboot reboot

8-When the phone boots up this time, download the superuser app from Google Play

Hope these instructions help. Please also note pages 13-17 of this thread also provide some valuable tips.

Additionally, cwm enables you to do much more than simply backup and restore. It is also valuable for installing custom roms, mounting partitions, etc... please take some time to do a search on xda as this will provide you a much more comprehensive description of cwms capabilities.

wikipedia:

Android handsets, the bootloader of the device can be unlocked to flash a new CID number(11111111, which indicates an unlocked device) and hence the SIM Lock is effectively removed.

Most handsets have security measures built into their firmware that protects them from repeated attempts to guess the unlock code.

there will be a bootloader to unlock my phone?

My only gripe is the short battery life on the handset when using 4g. On wireless only it lasts much longer.

Hopefully a custom kernel for OC/UV and greater range in screen brightness will help with that. For now, I just carry around an extra USB battery pack and recharge the phone when it's low.

help on rooting Pantech burst

Hi, I need help on rooting my Pantech burst. Earlier I tried the command prop thing and when I tried the step "ADB reboot bootloader" it worked and my screen turned white and said something. But the step after that I couldn't pass. When I entered the command it said "cannot find 'prestoroot' I did everything correctly! I even saved my prestoroot file in the this folder I was told to put it in, inside the SDK tools folder. I did everything right, but im not sure about which program im suppose to use to open the prestoroot file? See when I open it after installing it opens and closes after 2 seconds? is it suppose to do that? By the way I've tried z4root, gingerbreak, and oneclickroot. No luck /: please help, thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedigras:
I emailed Pantech asking about a bootloader unlock and this is what they replied to me with.

Apparently, it's possible to do via ADB. I'm not exactly sure what they mean here....and I have replied for more details. I wonder if it's like the HTC one X where we have to modify a file in the hex editor and push back to the phone. details on that one here. Or maybe something more trivial.

---Edit---

Ok, I actually tried to do a simple unlock using the fastboot oem unlock command and it may have worked.

/> adb reboot bootloader

/> fastboot oem unlock

...OKAY

/> fastboot reboot

That was pretty much the response that I got when trying to do it. I'm not sure if it's as trivial as this but I really want to get a custom ROM on here asap.

I think it depends on how much stuff you have installed. From the sound of the error message you have, it sounds like you don't have a card installed at all.

Hello,

I got a Burst for 180 bucks and have unlocked it. The phone's great but I have a few niggles. Music playback crackles sometimes when I scroll through the phone while playing the music. It may be coz the phone underclocks itself to save battery. If I run quadrant(which gives sweet results btw) and then play music, it plays flawlessly. Any solution to this peculiar issue. Other than that phone is fine.

Just got one of these today to replace my rapidly-deteriorating HTC Aria. After a couple of years of running on a rooted Android phone and tablet, I am finding myself increasingly frustrated with the unrooted experience.

Good: this phone is fast. Real fast. The phone (like, old style talking on the phone) works much better than my Aria ever did. And while it's big, it's not bulky when in my front pocket like many of these newer phones.

Bad: the touch screen is not as responsive as the HTC was. And I can't get rid of these crummy AT&T apps, can't overclock, can't change the lock screen, can't use wireless tethering, can't replace the email.apk or other system files, can't use adfree, can't do a million other things I am used to doing. :( Well at least I can side-load some apps.

I'll be counting the minutes until an enterprising dev figures out how to mount the filesystem in a RW fashion so I can hack out some of this stuff, and counting the days, weeks and months until we have CM9 for this phone. The hardware is legit. But the carrier-locked experience kinda sux.

What's not working for you, wireless hotspot or usb tethering? Both work perfectly for me (remember you need to download Pantech PC Suite to get the drivers installed on your computer, just go to the website and download PC Suite for the Pantech Element, it uses the same PC Suite version).

I also did some some looking around and AT&T is advertising this phone as 1.2, it's actually 1.5 - download Vellamo from Google Play, it's Qualcomm's offical benchmarking utility.
