Well. I was in a pickle with it. I don't have access to internet where I am besides my phone. So I wasn't possible to download the installer and then have it download to my computer. So I managed to find the unlock root V.3.36 offline installer but it was a pro and wanted a registration code. I bit the bullet. Bought one, entered it and started the root and success! Bingo. Finally!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] judask24:
This is a screenie of the about phone from my discover for whatever reasons one may want since some phones are able to be rooted with one method but not all. I must say. The unlock root V3 worked flawless once I got the updated version.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] judask24:
I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. Somehow. My phone is now soft bricked. It won't load past the AT&T splash screen and stupid pantech has no hard reset option in their recovery. Is there anyways I can hard reset it to factory? ADB detects it. And I figures out how to fix the build.prop which is why its soft bricked, by I performed a adb wipe and now it turned debugging off so now the computer won't even detect it now to use adb

Can anyone pull me the Odin image to flash?? If not, which no stock factory reset in the recovery. This might as well be hard brick. I'll be contacting Pantechs marketing woman Chandra Thompson who sent me the discover as a sweepstakes winner a few months back to see about getting it replaced. Under the recovery it shows that kernel tampering and root both haven't been achieved so it doesn't appear to have been rooted or messed with.

UPDATE: Chandra Thompson from Pantechs Marketing Manager called me today and said she is sending me a new discover and to just send the current one back. So no need for the help guys. Sorry.

iam facing continuos force closes because of the system ui error...i know that you have installed a themed ui onto this.......whenever i landscape my device i get a force close error(bottom softkeys disappear) and there is no way to get back to home...i could have managed this by limiting myself to a portrait only mode..but camera,videos and games are by default run through landscape mode only...so no solution for me....what can i do...plz anyone can provide me non-themed stock system theme ui image
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] judask24:
You shouldn't have a custom UI on your discover unless you managed or attempted to install one. If so, you need to do a factory reset.

Jose just browsing your sig and I dont see a Discover on there and I get the impression that you may dabble in DEV work..Which is great news for many of us with the PtekD. I will apologize in advance if I am wrong but I have been on the Skyrocket & Captivate forums here at xda and have always explored my curiosity with Androids and all things mod and root. If you could give a brief walk through on extracting the B.P I would prolly be successful getting those files to you. The phone really is very decent especially for its cost and I am really enjoying the feel and experience.. Like me there are others here and no doubt more to come since the price has dropped to free with extension. What is all this blathering you ask? well just hopeful thinking that we can get our own PtekD forum along with a few good architects. Hey now!

cheers!

Oh and ShotSkydiver I didnt notice before my previous post was sent out but, it would appear that we are both a couple Desert Rats living in Azul (technically I live in Arcadia in the shadow of Camelback mtn off 44th)..I also noticed and wanted to thank you for your optimism and hard work piecing together DEV Tech for the PtekD! I unfortunately am not made of the same enthusiasm and Tech skilz that you maintain but I like to give credit where it is due and you sir are an innovator. Cheers to everyone here I hope that this device will last the terms of my agreement. TBH my first PtekD must have had some sort of defect because I hadn't had it for even 5 days before the screen fractured and I had to send it back in hopes they would replace. I never even dropped the sukka or even as much as rough housed it at all. (I slept with it under my pillow when it broke) But glad Pantech did see things my way and replaced. Cheers to everyone here. Lets see if we can request a forum after, hopefully we can get a handful of innovators that are as enthusiastic as the both I have singled out. Y!S out

Just wanted to tell you guys to be very careful with messing with the build.prop file. Our phone doesn't have a custom cwm, a stock factory recovery image, nothing to fix our phones from soft bricks. I tweaked mine and soft bricked it and since other is no factory reset in the pantech recovery, and they blocked wiping the data in fast boot, you'll just have to warranty exchange it. That's what I had to do.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mayur9890:
Plz help me too sir.... I need that stock systemui img which i will be able to restore my device to normal state... Plz if you are rooted its pretty easy... Here is the procedure-

what you need to do is put that phone into recovery mode and connect it to ADB on your computer (I assume you already have that set up as you rooted it), then open a command prompt/terminal, and run these commands:

adb shell

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /data

mount /data/media /sdcard

cd /sdcard

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/system.img

After that last command, it'll sit for quite a while, just let it sit until it goes to the next line. From there, reboot the device back to the OS, plug it into your computer again, and copy the file system.img from the phone to your computer.

Loaded superuser and SU into the root directory

Power off, unplug usb

I can get the phone into fast bootmode but when its time to execute

I have been using my win7 command prompt window but I think I must be doing something wrong

because it thros an error *no fastboot* or somthing along those lines

my command prompt is C:>user<xxxx __

Also shouldn't I have the recovery.img in my root folder as well? That is where I have placed it expecting the command prompt would be booting and

working within the phones drive,,But I bet Im wrong cause now Im stuck.

** Rooting this phone is much more difficult than any other I have done I have even download UNLOCK ROOT PRO 3.36 but cant get

any drivers to stick..well I get one to install but its not the one that rootunlockpro needs.

I am Win7 x64

I downloaded the UnLock Root tool from this site; http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f485/unlock-root-v3-0-updated-1574017/

It is version 3.0. Some guys had problems with other versions, not sure why. As for rooting with the other method your trying, I was able to root one Discover but not my other one, not sure why that is either. As far as I know, there still isn't a version of CWM recovery that works on this device yet either, and be careful trying them cause I bricked one trying. Good luck

I tried to run this a couple times and I cant get it to work. I havent done this before so Im not exactly what should happen, but when I run the 1st mount command, it says... Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory. Im trying to do this on a mac so I dont know if that matters or not.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jose makalolot:
Can you try:

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /data

# mount -o rw,remount /data/media /sdcard

# is if you have su you don't need to type it.

If not try

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system

and so on.

Replace rw with ro and run again when your done to return system to ro.

I stopped trying to tinker with my discover after I soft bricked it, Because we have hardly any resources for this phone to fix issues. We have no CMW or custom rooms. We have no way to flash stock firmware as Pantech doesn't provide it. We have no Odin files. If you soft brick it, you're screwed pretty much. They provide no factory reset or any useful tools in the stock recovery. That's why I had to send mine back for an exchange. Messing with this phone is a major risk taking process. I wouldn't do it if its you're everyday device.

Damage has been done already. We just need a kind hearted person to dump their system image to fix our issues and return to stock.

I came here to get help on something and see that the problem is something that is not solved out yet. A friend of mine who is less technically inclined when it comes to Android has the Pantech Discover. His phone was always on stock, and had random reboots and SoD. After rooting, it seemed to get worse. Now, it just bootloops. I know alot about Android, and tried everything I knew to do from experience of owning an HTC device. Nothing seems to work. There was a thread somewhere about how to boot CMW from fastboot, and I attempted this to try a dalvik cache clear to fix the boot loop. The CMW boot.img that they say works, doesnt. I am trying everything in my power to fix this. I also tried the fastboot command to clear the dalvik. Seems the bootloader disallows any clearing of a partition via fastboot. If anyone knows an alternative way to clear dalvik, please let me know!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jose makalolot:
If you are rooted, you can use apps to do it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fawxy:
It is bootlooping, as described in the previous post. Apps wont do any good.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fawxy:
Alright, so I managed to do a factory reset on the phone. Now I have a new issue. The phone, after a factory reset, did not include the Google Play store. Another factory reset still doesnt include the Play store. So, an attempt to download the latest ICS Play store didnt work out either. Upon install, there is a "No Connection" error, and the retry button continuously brings up that previous error. I went back and cleared the caches, and tried again. This time it opened up, but crashes immediatly after starting. The second attempt to open it brings back the "No Connection" error. I am thinking that Pantech has some proprietary version for this for or something. If someone could dump their vending APK that would be very much appreciated.

Nandroid backup

I was able to do a nandroid backup with an app I found called Online Nandroid Backup. It took some time and a lot of help from the developer getting the app to work on our device, but I got it to make a full backup tonight. I know there was a guy looking for the boot.img on here and I have that as well as the recovery.img. I hope they are helpful. Let me know if they work. (I renamed them for my own convenience, I have quit a few on my computer, thanks to my wifes S-On Inspire 4g- have to fastboot flash all the boot.img when I flash a new ROM)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gj23:
Heres the boot.img:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gj23:
Heres the recovery.img:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fawxy:
You shouldnt need a boot.img as long as your phone boots. If you need the system reflashed, the best way is to factory reset from the default recovery menu.

PS. When you get into recovery mode, there will not be a visible menu. Wait about 10 seconds for it to finish loading, and then tap the volume up button and power button at the same time, and the menu will appear. If it doesnt, try tapping the buttons again. I have had it takes 8-9 tries sometimes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gj23:
Yea, I already know how to do all that, and there was a guy asking me for the boot.img a week ago but I couldnt get it, till now. Theres nothing wrong with my phone, it works like a champ, just wish we had a few roms for it. I dont know enough about developing to do one myself.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fawxy:
Also, to answer you; the APK does the same as all the other APKs. It simply appears this phone will no longer support the Play Store
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gj23:
Sorry the apk didnt help, but the boot.img should help your buddy who is stuck in a boot loop, according to your earlier post.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fawxy:
I fixed the boot loop with the factory reset option that I found by accident lol

Edit: Thought I would add that apparantly the phone only clears the data partition when doing a factory reset. The root was still there and the missing APKs from the system were still missing. There doesnt seem to be any way of bringing that back. If you have the full backup of the phone available, and a way of flashing said backup; that would definitely help. Until then, it seems this phone was put together by retarded monkeys.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gj23:
I do have a full backup and there is also an app called Rom Customizer that allows flashing from internal or external sd so you might be able to get it flashed. I dont know if I can get the backup uploaded to here, I think its too large a zip file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fawxy:
Use Mediafire or 4Shared (or anything else you are comfortable with) to upload it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] judask24:
