i have a custom systemUI.apk, do i need to flash it in cwm recovery? because when i had a gravity smart i was able to just copy it over with rom toolbox and restart the phone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
easily bricked...

ok, so I managed to munch my phone while in Europe yesterday.

I think there must be some file (or files) corrupted, but whatever the cause, it won't boot.

basically I need to get it now into CWM, but all it does is tell me "Please charge your phone to power on" and when I plug it into the charger it vibrates for about 5 seconds. Won't boot at all.

Can't get adb to work.

Try fastboot the CWM image, won't work... stuck on waiting for device.

fastboot boot cwm-5.0.2.7-presto.img

< waiting for device >

Anyone have a way out of this? If I can't figure a way to fix it today, I'm going to get an insurance replacement on the way.

Be very careful some one has a cm7 rom for a Sony Xperia but they called the from presto. It is not for the pantech burst (presto). Not sure if that is the cm7 rom you are referring to. If it is do not try it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
If you used CWM 6.0.1.5 it may have messed up the partition table. These Bursts are remarkably easy to brick.

I think you may have hosed it permanently.

FWIW, can we get this bad CWM removed from the market? This seems to be a recurring theme.

Anyway, I found a more creative way to brick mine :) If it won't boot they will probably warranty it, regardless of the Pantech haters on this forum. I thought their offer to warranty mine was quite generous.

If trying different SIM's doesn't work, downgrade it to GB, using factory pdl. Then try activation.

I checked ur IMEI with LoginPlus... it gave me same unlock code, that u already have. So, it should work. Just downgrade to GB and try to activate using the same SIM that u previously used to activate it. That might solve ur problem

sent a request to have CWM pulled from rom manager until we can get a safe working build to replace it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
CWM 6 has been pulled from Rom Manager for the Burst so no one else downloads the messed up version until we can get a fixed one working on there.

anyone that wants to take a look at what we can edit to see what might be causing the issue can do so here Github - Cyanogenmod (used by CWM to create recovery)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
Well guess Rom Manager has updated the cwm 6.0.1.4 that bricked our phones with a cwm 6.0.1.5 that still bricks our phones.

FYI the reason that the burst (presto) is so easy to brick is that it has a completely unlocked bootloader (GB one) and only a slightly locked one in ICS. Both bootloaders leave the bootloader partition writable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
Ok you got me wondering just how did you brick your burst?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
None that I know of. We have been warning people about using Rom Manager for downloading clockwork mod recovery for a while.

Best guess is it either over wrote part of the bootloader, would explain why you can only get into download mode, or it some how is blanking out the partition table, or maybe even reseting the format types on the partition table.

The Burst it very easy to brick because the bootloader allows the bootloader to be writen to.

Recovery would require somehow getting the phone to flash a GB bootloader and maybe a good clockworkmod recovery. But, I have no way of doing that if the phone will not flash the factory installs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
I wonder if they haven't wiped/flashed the pdl yet if they can remote adb into the phone since the version 6 will allow it and have it install v5 of cwm and we can have a "brick recovery" type rom where in the zip it has instructions to write the partition table etc and install a clean version of gb or ics. I know when mine happened I had adb until I tried installing one of the pdl's but at the time no one had come across the issue with the cwm6 that was coming out of rom manager
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leeladon:
Mr.Parthapxda has asked for different problem, of unsuccessful activation of mobile. Do u know any other way of activating burst?

Well, u answered for different question , d same question and situation im facing for past 2 weeks. I tried different combinations of installing ROM, though it doesnt matter which rom u install, its d problem with bootloader partitions. well, i would like to know if this pdl file is only for installing ROM, or we can also install bootloader into it. If yes, are we having any pdl bootloader file? And i used ODIN, used for samsung mobiles to install ROMs or bootloader. thought , different kind of ODIN responded on different COM ports, Im not having particular file for pantech burst for ODIN, which i can succesfully flash into it. I tried Samsung Galaxy S2 files, but not of much success. As of now, im waiting for my factory cable to get delivered, to see if i can get my burst into fastboot mode, so that i may be able to flash recovery and bootloader.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bainbridger:
A couple thoughts and a question...

I've followed the thread for a few days and a couple of thoughts come to mind... First, I honestly wonder if someone out there is intentionally trying to brick Bursts, considering that problematic CWM 6 keeps cropping up (in just about every other post it seems). Second, most of the bricking seems to occur outside of the US... Both may be related, or both may be a fluke, but frankly, it's annoying and makes the Burst look like it's more trouble then it's worth.

I've never got a straight answer on SIM unlocking the Burst, as I got the NCK code for my IMEI, but I'm not sure if the bootloader I'm using (the GB one) will take the code or not. I'm aware that you have a limited number of tries to enter the code successfully before the Burst becomes hard-locked, so I'd like to be sure I have the right items first before I attempt this. So, for everyone's edification, what bootloader works, and is there any gotchas a rooted Burst owner should be aware of?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
The issue was with all cwm v6 that were obtained threw rom manager but the issue wasn't detected right away. the bricking usually happened when you try to restore from a backup you made.that cwm has been since pulled off rom manager until we can find what caused the issue and correct it. until then stick with the v5. davepmer has a v6 that is safe to use but only use one verified its from him and not rom manager at the moment. No one had the intention of bricking devices while laughing evilly rom manager just happened to be an easy way to install cwm on a rooted phone and has worked on many devices before it just kinda didn't work so well this time is all.

If you have the manufacturer's warranty still go ahead and have your phone swapped out if its bricked. make sure to run one of the pdls first tho so it will wipe out your cwm recovery

One other thing, the Pantech camera app (Sky Camera) sux, especially with ICS.

OTOH the SGS3 camera is awesome and works brilliantly.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746611

To install it, put the zip file in the /sdcard/external_sd directory on the phone and then reboot into recovery. In recovery choose "Install from zip" and "Choose zip", select the camera zip file from the sdcard and then boot the phone once it finishes.

No need to back up the original camera since it's not the same file name. Both cameras can exist without conflict as far as I can tell.

Has anyone ported over a stock ICS without the Pantech skin?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bainbridger:
Hmm... that's good that it got yanked. I have never used ROM Manager, so I've never had the issue. My Burst is working fine, happily using the GB bootloader, the 5.0.2.7 version of CWM and the deodexed ICS ROM. I guess I felt like venting slightly, as it seems most posts lately have been about others bricking their Bursts with those faulty CWM 6 versions from ROM Manager. I feel bad for those who bricked their Bursts, as it's a nice device... I've had mine going on three weeks, and have relegated my other device *coughs* to just being a portable media player. Still, I noticed no one has definitively answered the SIM unlock question I posed, as I have a SIM cut down to size, ready to go. *shrugs*
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
The bootloader should have no effect on unlocking the sim. The unlock code is based on the imei, if it changed with bootloaders att would have had to force the ICS update, and they didnt.
