Did you root your phone after the update? Did you reboot after rooting?

What I'm getting at is the kernel in the prestoroot.img is the leaked firmware kernel. So it will still show the old kernel until you reboot.

Provided that fastboot boot prestoroot.img was done and not, fastboot flash boot prestoroot.img

If nothing else you can flash the boot.img from jz's cwm backup if there was a mix up of commands.

Sorry to ask but i don't have much knowledge of rooting, custom ROMs and all these... I was able to root my burst though. Now i'm still on the November version, i have some questions about what will happen if i restore this new file you shared (by the way i really appreciate it, thanks):

Will i lose root?

Will i lose all my data??

If that's the case, Can i just restore all my apps, data, etc. with titanium backup??

Thanks,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevotdo:
Root will still be there if you use jz's file, you will still need to install superuser and busybox again. Cwm will still be there also. For kage's you will need to root per the normal method. If you backup in cwm first, then you can restore your apps in titanium from the cwm backup. All your files on the internal storage will still be there.

Mine says the same. I got this phone as a freebie for my kid and where on T-MO. So i want to root it and get the most of this thing. Im impressed with it runs good.

Hotspot

Newbie here. So I followed you steps on rooting the burst and have installed Wifi Tether app to use free hotspot. My question is how come I am not able to connect my hotspot to a gaming system such as the Wii to watch Netflix? Will this app only allow my computer to connect? Any help is appreciated.

Weird Probelm

Couldn't get my phone to update any which way. So, restored back to root. Gave it a last try using "temp unroot" option in SU, and now SU is not able to get root. Every time, I try to uncheck "temp unroot" option, SU force closes. Has anyone else lost root this way?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrtss:
How the theter works in the Burst.

According to I have understood, the connection of the phone acts like a computer that has direct access to the internet, so the Wii may not recognize it.. If you connect to the PC (The theter.) you will see that connect, but with a different icon (three monitors attached). I connected the Burst to the Xbox 360 by a bridge that I did in the connections of my pc.

To be more clear: Shared Burst Network > Laptop > Network Bridge (in windows) > RJ45 (This is the cable, going to the ethernet inputs of the 360 and the pc).

This can be done in all (or most) the OS, having a wireless card.

as soon as I rebooted once more it is now the same as both of you. like u said it was probably because after the update I rooted

side note the updated copy I put up did not come prerooted. anyone that installs that will after first boot have to install the prestoroot.img still. its not difficult if you've done it before I just wanted to give a heads up. after I updated I did a wipe so that it would still do the normal first time user prompt to get setup. I could have rooted first but this way it was fresh and untampered. and also when it comes time for a new update (hopefully its ICS so it won't matter anyway) I didn't want to have to downgrade to the november one again to upgrade

Good to know, I updated my post
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
Sorry about that I forgot to put it in there. I figured root was so easy and whoever would be using my backup file must have had to root their burst at some point in order to even use the backup file. I'd do another rooted copy if I could figure out how to trigger that first time user setup page. I wish I knew enough about roms to convert this backup into a rom and start editing it. like take out bloatware, have it come with SU already installed etc...

Is there a way to install it without CWM? say, by connecting to computer?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
Are you refering to the update? Are you currently rooted or have cwm installed?

its not common but I did a search and see that people have pushed a rom over (not backup) with adb in fastboot but if your in fastboot you might as well install cwm. makes it a lot easier. that and if something goes wrong with the rom you will need cwm to help you fix it.

Oh the things I miss when I'm on vacation. Maybe if I go away again, they'll release ICS :)

Anyways, I've cleaned up and updated the Pantech Essentials thread to include the CWM backup of the newest update.

@BlasFamous, there is a way to boot into CWM without installing CWM. There is instructions in the Pantech Essentials forum under "Restore stock ROM with CWM"

@kagedws6, I got the PANTECH_PRESTO_BIN_JUUS03122012.pdl from some zip file that was posted on this thread I believe. Can't remember wher exactly or who posted it. Maybe it was on the IRC even. I don't remember. Haven't heard anything back from Pantech yet regarding the update change log. They usually take forever to reply.

Regarding the update. I have not used it much yet so I'm not sure on battery life yet or if it got rid of the random reboots. But I did notice I no longer get the Phone Options menu when I turn it on, I used to get that every other time I pushed the power button.

Compile kernel from the source of pantech.

hi all:

I compiled the kernel from the source of pantech, the following steps.

Step 1:

You must have installed the Android SDK to Build Initializing Environment and CyanogenMod repositories installed, there are sufficient guides here.

I have worked with ubuntu and the next steps are for this OS.

Step 2:

Download the kernel from the pantech website (registration required): opensource.pantech.com or from the mirror of the project cyanogen-presto

Step 3:

create the following directories within the source of CM:

mkdir -p ~/Android/system/kernel/
mkdir -p ~/Android/system/kernel/pantech/

Copy the downloaded image (presto_kernel.gz) to ~/Android/system/kernel/pantech/

Step 4:

kernel extract files

cd ~/Android/system/kernel/pantech/
tar -xvf ~/Android/system/kernel/pantech/presto_kernel.gz
mv presto_kernel presto

Step 5:

compile the kernel

cd ./presto
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=~/Android/system/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
./build_kernel.sh

Step 6:

output Files

- Kernel: ~/Android/system/kernel/pantech/presto/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/arch/arm/ boot/zImage

- Module: ~/Android/system/kernel/pantech/presto/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/drivers/*/*.Ko

Step 7:

integrate the kernel in the custom rom

I do not do it, so I hope this can continue it or someone else help me to continue it myself.

Thanks for listening and sorry for my terrible English.

Quite possible. And I will not go about tinkering unless I'm at least 95% confident about a revert.

Anyways, here is the list of potential compatible handsets based on quick research:

1. OPPO X907

2. LG VS840 Lucid 4G

3. Pantech Vega Racer

4. Pantech Sky IM-A770K

And I don't think either of them have an ICS port either. I had more hope for LG unit, but it seems to be relatively new and less number of takers as compared to Burst.

wont even get into s/w if you try to power with both vol buttons down? must have flashed the kernel. Always a no no, kernels (boot.img) are always very device specific.

For anyone else that thinks of flashing a rom to another device, the safest way is to flash from cwm, and edit the zip first to remove any boot.img.

btw what did you flash it with?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusmarcus:
Does that mean it is fairly safe to restore a cwm backup of one of the other devices as long as we remove the boot.imb from it or if we put our own boot.img file in place of the other device?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
The cm7 build for the skyrocket puts the burst into a loop shortly after boot, it gets stuck trying to control the audio volume.

the burst has a locked bootloader, I would think that a flash attempt from cwm would not be able to flash our bootloader. Did you try pulling the battery, wait a minute, put the battery back and push both volume up and volume down at the same time, hold them and and hold power? it should put the burst into emergency bootloader mode.

should have a screen that says s/w and usb but that it.

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

the restore files from cwm do have a checksum, for each section, so if you delete the checksum and the section the restore will pass. However, without major changes the rom is extremely unlikely to boot.
