help

Everything works great until I get to the 10% loading screen then it just says waiting for device. My problem is I can't for the life of me figure out why I can't install the google drivers to get it to work. It keeps saying something about not having the information for that device. I have windows xp. Is there another option for me? I have already tried the sdk manager and that didn't help either. Please help I really want to root my phone!! Thanks!

Your problem has already been discussed, so you are requested to go through all the previous posts...

What pantech driver is he talking about???? I've tried everything listed here and I still can't get it to work still stuck at the searching for device step.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Towlieee:
I FINALLY got the ADB bootloader interface driver to install on windows xp sp3.

I tried a lot of things, but finally got it to work.

(These first steps, might not be needed, but going over the entire process I did). I don't think I needed SDK manager.

I first uninstalled everything i had installed android related. SDK manager, Pantech PC suite, and PDAnet.

Then I went into device manager, and hit "View" "show hidden devices"

I then uninstalled all drivers related to any android phone (I have rooted other devices on this pc, didn't want driver conflicts).

Reboot

Install PC suite

Connect phone in USB debug mode, let all oem drivers install

Install Android SDK manager, then used it to install SDK platform tools and google usb driver rev6.

Then I opened the command prompt that came in the crossoverrootfiles that pawaa originally posted.

I put the phone into bootloader mode with the "adb reboot bootloader" command.

Once again it brought up a "new device detected", and once again, the google USB driver rev4 would NOT install by locating it (isn't compatible with device or something along those lines).

Then I unplugged the phone from the PC, and while in "show hidden devices" in the device manager, I once again "updated drivers", pointed them to the google rev4 folder just like pawaa said, and this time it installed, giving me a alert that they might not be compatible.

Plugged phone back in, now was able to boot into fastboot recovery!

Sorry if this was covered. My whole problem was from not unplugging the device and showing hidden devices, to install the drivers. Worked perfect this time.

Basically these directions, except adding the fact that you first put your phone into bootloader mode via "adb reboot bootloader" command, then install drivers automatically, then disconnect phone, THEN install the google rev4 the way he said, but "showing hidden devices" in device manager.

- extract "Google_USB_Driver_rev4.zip" to the root of your C: to avoid any further complication (C:\Google_USB_Driver_rev4\)

- go to device manager and right click on the "Android" labeled node with yellow exclamation sign on it and click on Update Drivers Software...

- from the next window select 2nd option labeled "Browse my computer for driver software"

- from the next window select 2nd option again labeled "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

- from the next window select "Show All Devices" and click next

- from the next window click on the button labeled "Have Disk"

- in next dialog box copy/paste this text in commas --=> "C:\Google_USB_Driver_rev4"

- click on OK button and select "Android Bootloader Interface" from next dialog box and click on next

- click on "Yes" button on next warning and you are good to go...

6. Choose the folder that you downloaded the drivers to (they must be unzipped.)

In Google_USB_Driver_rev4_p8000mod_by_pawaa. In the Install Instructions.txt at this point: 6. Choose the folder you downloaded the drivers That to (they must-be unzipped.) No problem with that? Because once unzip to C: Inside that folder is not compressed files.

Another point which is explained in the "Install Instructions.txt" is the SDK manager. Could you provide me the tool and how.

Alright, managed to make an incredibly stupid mistake and managed to soft brick my crossover, but fixed it.

If you are going to be flashing CWM recovery over to the phone, (fastboot flash etc) BE SURE NOT TO FLASH IT TO BOOT. Had rooted the phone, decided I wanted to replace the recovery with CWM, and flashed it to boot. Now, if you do this by accident, booting into the s/w upgrade screen (vol up + home + power) and redoing the gingerbread update WILL FLASH A GOOD BOOT.IMG.

Also: nothing as horrifying as saying "oh hey i might as well flash cwm recovery over and do a backup so if i mess anything up I can fix it" and then making it so you can only ever access the recovery.

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

Alright, tried flashing recovery.img over (using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) and it doesnt seem to be working, doesnt spit out an error just doesnt seem to replace the stock recovery. Also tried flash_image from the sdcard, but it wont run as superuser so i cant flash it that way. Any ideas on how to replace the stock recovery with cwm? I find it hilarious that replacing boot with it works fine, but replacing the stock recovery? Oh no, that is horrible and wont work

Device not found

Thank you for the great post. But I did have some problems here.

1. I installed the driver and can see the android phone in the device manager on my PC. But, after I typed "adb reboot bootloader" in the command prompt, always got a "device not found". Could you tell me what happened here?

2. If quesiton 1 resolved, will there be anything like this happen again in next steps?

3. Do you have any newer android version? Or do you have any other language pack other than English, Spanish and French?

Thank you so much for the help.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bleach46290:
I did as you instructed in the first post using a system running Windows XP and my phone is now rooted. Pawaa, you are a god among men. Thank you posting those instructions. Though, I am still curious as to whether these instructions will work with Linux. I suspect that they may come in handy in future. Anyways, I can't thank you enough for those instructions. Now if you will excuse me, I have some bloatware to remove from my phone. Adios Amigo.

Flashing CWM onto P8000

Hello pawaa. I have my crossover rooted by your great post (thanks again).

I can get to CWM recovery 5.0.2.8 per your instructions at any time I want to.

I would like to flash CWM to my phone and avoid the PC connection.

I bought ROM Manager to do this, but it does not list the P8000 when it asks to confirm device.

ROM Manager do not respond when I ask for a fix.

Do you have a solution to flash CWM to my P8000

Thanks for your great work.

For those on gigngerbread and are having trouble installing cwm. Pantech has made some changes in recovery. Now every time you boot your phone a scipr replaces custom recovery with android recovery. So first root your phone with help from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1676757

Then install root aware file manager (e.g. ES File Explorer) Make system as writable partition in file manager setting.

Go to /system/etc and delete install-recovery.sh

next adb reboot bootloader

then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

finally fastboot reboot

let the phone reboot.

To go into cwm, shut down your phone. press power button. As soon as you see Pantech symbol press volume down and home button. you will go to cwm.

In cwm,

volume up/volume down - move up/down

camera - Select/enter

back - go one level back

Fred, read my post above. I beleive you have already rooted you phone. I had same issue where i had to connect phone to pc to log into cwm that is because android recovery removes cwm every time you reboot you phone. Just follow steps in my post. let us know if you have trouble with anything.

Gubment Cheeze
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] N3Ti:
This is for all. Let me start with saying that rooting voids your warranty. If you decide to choose this path you are doing it on your own and you are responsible for whatever happens. With that said, thanks to pawaa and stevotdo we have working root and recovery. When you are playing with these please make sure to read as many things as many times as possible. Try to understand reason behind every step. It will greatly reduce chances of something going wrong and will help you working on other devices in future.

Froid,

1. Are you rooted?

2. Did you delete install-recovery.sh

3. Did you flash cwm via fastboot? (By flash I mean command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)

4. Would you mind writing down steps here in sequence of what you did?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Froid:
Fortunately I'm not new to rooting so I've checked everything a few times over. I am rooted and was able to delete the install script. After doing so, I re-flashed recovery.img again. I rebooted phone and tried to boot into recovery to make sure it stuck. It booted into stock 3e recovery. I rebooted phone and searched hi and low for install script and it was nowhere to be found. It had successfully been deleted. I re-flashed recovery.img again, made a backup, and rebooted phone. Again, I rebooted into recovery to find that the stock recovery had been installed again. Very strange and not a huge issue. I dont mind using the PC to get into cwm. Just can't seem to find out why its doing it.

You can also root your pantech crossover! Just get the android sdk and use adb and fastboot from there. You'll still need the update.zip and recovery.img from pawaa's zip file in the original post.

I rooted my P8000 using Pawaa's package and instructions by the "monkey see...monkey do" method. Worked perfectly.

Subsequently, I have been educating myself (trying to anyway). The following book has helped me plenty:

I have been trying to compile stock froyo from source. It would be nice if we could get pawaa or stevotdo in development on our phone. I know stevotdo is working actively on pantech burst and owns crossover too. I am sure once we get ball rolling there will be others stepping up.

Also so far we only have source for froyo from pantech open source site. It would be great to get gingerbread source if we are looking at any decent development. I am sure if enough of us start asking them we will get source soon enough.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] N3Ti:
Quick check

1. Please ensure you have right drivers installed (I know you said you have but please double check)

2.Extract files. Double click on command prompt from the extracted folder (NOT from start-menu) make sure you right click on cmd and open it with admin rights.

3. type command "adb devices" without quote. It should show up random number. (ifnothing shows up it is not set up right. If it shows random number you are all set.

did not make video yet (just being lazy... :) ) let me know how it goes... i will try to make one if you still have trouble.

Also make sure that settings->applications->developement->allow usb debugging is checked.

Tried it on two different computers running Win 7 x64.

Did they change something to block the usb driver from working in bootloader mode?

I got it to work. I did a Windows XP x86 Virtual Machine and the drivers worked fine.

Hi There, since you apparently know about this phone can you please help me with this question? I got two of these phones for my in-laws to use on their regular 2 year contract lines with AT&T. They dont have DATA and they dont want DATA which has been the reason they have not been able to upgrade their phones. So I bought these phones and I am planning to install their SIM cards in the new Crossover phones on Friday. AT&T rep said if there is absolutely NOT DATA request coming from the phone you will not be charged for DATA and they DATA plan will NOT be added to your contract.

So my question is this, how do I make sure the DATA is absolutely disconnected from the phone to AT&T towers? When I turn on the phone it gives me an option to use it with WIFI only but I know AT&T well enough to know thats probably a distraction that still sends "some" data to AT&T. I want it COMPLETELY blocked EDGE/3G/4G everything. :cowboy:

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Froid:
As soon as you put the sim card in, Att will most likely know you're using a smart phone within hours (data or not). The only people I know that have gotten away with it are using unlocked phones that Att does not sell. When I put my wifes sim in, a data plan was added to my account within an hour, and I instantly turned on wifi and disabled data.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] crimson12:
My friend disabled data after activating it on ATT and never got the charge applied to his account. Maybe it's because data is disabled on his plan?
