I can help but I need to know where you are at.

Are you still boot looping?

Can you run the JB update from the external sd card per my guide in the other thread?

If so attempt it and email or PM me with the contents of /sdcard/recovery/last_log and /cache/recovery/last_log.

Have you downloaded the original files from the directories app, framework, and lib?

If not you should.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jose makalolot:
im still in boot loop but ill restart the dd to pass boot loop.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RCon227:
I'm considering going back to the Pantech Discover now that it has Jelly Bean, could somebody running the update post a few screenshots of what it looks like or maybe a video? There doesn't seem to be any of either floating around out there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Unjustified Dev:
Initial post to track this via app . Going to peak around source code for a few hours then start source for android 4.3. I won't have this phone until Friday so someone run adb pull /system for me . Also can anyone provide boot or recovery images ? Just throwing it out there you could start source based off a phone with the same partitions
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
Welcome! I can pull /system and provide you with both the ICS and Jellybean boot and recovery images. When I was on ICS I was able to deodex, modify a number of smali files in framework.jar and odex again. I have been very busy so I haven't had time to play lately. If you haven't noticed or didn't see my post mentioning it, they blocked fastboot flash with the JB update so a custom recovery will definitely be the first step. I tried a bunch of CWM builds and evita is the only one that works without modifications and it only works on some phones. I'll let you know when I upload the files. I will have some time to help out if you would like.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Unjustified Dev:
Omg thank you lol I thought this was dead went searching for another Samsung. I am a Samsung fan just thought I would try to bring up a pantech . if you send me those I can start making source at least get cm9 stable then work my way up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] greg97526:
Sweet. Can't wait to have my wifi stable again. Anything I can do just let me know.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Unjustified Dev:
I have almost everything I need except the phone . Just waiting till Friday thanks anyway.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] greg97526:
Awesome, this is such a good phone. Been waiting for someone to take it on for custom rom etc.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Unjustified Dev:
How's the camera and speakers?

Also figured out how to unlock fastboot . I also requested pantech release the code for Jb they released it for the flex but left us hanging. So things are taking off now.

This proves we need ics aboot also tells you how to flash it. When I get mine on ics I will upload the ics aboot to restore fastboot

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
Good find! That's exactly what I was going to do once I had an ICS aboot img so this gives me confidence. I dd'd all of my JB partitions last night in case they are ever needed.

You rock sir!

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

The WIFI on my discover has been a tad wonky since the JB install too but it doesn't sound like it is as bad as yours. You might be able to improve the situation by writing the partitions that were patched in the JB update but didn't get updated on your half-update. As I mentioned above I have all of the partitions imaged and a backup of system (though my file by file comparison shows your system is up to date).

I will be a lot more confident messing around with this thing with an unlocked bootloader since right now I am very susceptible to bricking the thing.

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

The reviews on the camera are so-so though I haven't ever had a good phone camera to compare it to myself. Seems okay to me. The speakers are the best I have heard but that isn't saying a lot since this is only my second smart phone and the first was an HP veer. I like the aesthetics, display, and performance. Greg or others might have a better answer for you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] greg97526:
Speakers were awesome before the JB update. I basically need to start fresh and don't know enough to be comfortable doing it myself. So I will be patient and wait. Still have sporadic wifi drops, blue tooth connectivity issues and crappy sound for now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Unjustified Dev:
Thanks currently looking for another one as the person sold theirs. Hopefully eBay has one for a reasonable price by next week . Does the ICS and jb version look identical as in the launcher? I can't tell if I am buying an updated version.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MtDewFella:
So are we getting closer to custom roms? if so I'll be willing to put my phone on the line to test.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
I didn't notice a difference between the default launchers for ics and jb. I am hoping the phone I have coming is on ics but might not be here until next week.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Unjustified Dev:
That's going to make it even harder to get one with ICS especially with my luck. But I have started on 4.3 source. My biggest issue is going to be the kernel I wish pantech release the jb version as I requested its suppose to be released anyway because if GPL.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mifl:
The kernel of Pantech Perception (vegapvw) has been released and is compatible with the Pantech Discover.

I think to start working can be useful. Has a copy of this in my GitHub: https://github.com/mifl/android_kernel_pantech_vegapvw. Also is the ICS kernel here: https://github.com/mifl/android_kernel_pantech_p9090

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A suggestion to the OP of this thread. It would be good Tagged the message with tags: Pantech, Pantech Discover, Pantech P9090, Pantech magnus.

Greetings.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Unjustified Dev:
Been on your github quite a few times. Thanks. I will peak at it later. Were still in a mess with no ICS aboot.IMG to unlock fastboot
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vijayr2002:
Hello,

My brother is about to buy Pantech Discover. Does Pantech Discover support Wi-Fi direct? Also, what do you guys think about the below listing in Ebay, i think it's a good price but fear that it may not be NEW.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/171112721203

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
Wi-fi Direct is supported in the advanced Wi-fi settings. I haven't used it so I can't comment on how well it works. That seller has a 30 day return policy and a good feedback rating, seems legit to me.

[MENTION=3605406]sandnap[/MENTION] great to hear. I'm not getting this device though . Maybe I will ask for it as a gift for Christmas . Tab 3 in layaway and getting sero pro 7.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
Bummer for us but awesome for you! The Tab 3 is a great device as is the Sero Pro 7. Both are bargains right now too, if I didn't have so many gadgets I would be tempted to pick up one of each myself.

I am setting up a CyanogenMod build environment right now with the intent to get CWM Recovery built. If that goes well I may start on CM 10.2.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Unjustified Dev:
I would love to borrow the water damaged one :p jk. Let me know how it goes
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
I may actually be able to assemble one that I can send your way though it may have a cracked screen and missing some non-essential parts. I'll let you know if I have enough parts to put it together. I bought several of these that had broken screens, water damage, etc... and I was able to put together 3 clean and fully functional devices for < $100 each (one for me and one for each of my daughters) with a bunch of parts left over.

Will be running the Ics boot loader tomorrow. Ty so much it feels like we are getting somewhere fast all of a sudden. w00t
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
I believe you are running the ICS bootloader since you can boot evita. You can confirm by running step 4 above and compare checksum values.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] greg97526:
I'll check ty
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] greg97526:
Any status updates from our excellent and most appreciated devs? :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Unjustified Dev:
Not yet. I was working on it until someone purchased the one I wanted . I can't find one for cheap anymore
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] greg97526:
Check with sandnap I think he may have a spare. Not sure though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
I have some good news. I have a custom CWM 6.0.2.8 recovery built that works on all of my devices (unlike evita). It took a lot of trial and error to find the proper BoardConfig.mk settings and because Pantech did not use the standard addressing I had to make a custom mkbootimg.

Right now it boots via fastboot and I was able to flash and boot it from the device, however, it still has the following issues:

1. The UI is not rendered (black screen like evita). I am customizing graphics.c to work this out and have made some progress.

2. The stock recovery is reflashed when I boot to Android. I need to work on the init scripts and install recovery script to fix this.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

I have a board and housing but not a working glass/digitizer. As a little side project I have been experimenting with replacing the glass only on this device but at this point I have not been able to succeed. If I am successful I can put together a (sort of) working device or I can put together a device that doesn't have a working digitizer but does boot and render right now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Unjustified Dev:
[MENTION=3605406]sandnap[/MENTION] use the file from here https://github.com/Pantech-DIscover/android_device_pantech_qcom-common/tree/cm-10.2/recovery

[MENTION=3605406]sandnap[/MENTION] run the image through cwm builder and see if it has issues. You can also adb logcat it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vijayr2002:
Help!

Just got the phone from Ebay! It is in stock ICS. Everything is fine except the sound. I feel like the sound is low in full volume. Also it is very low when it is below 50% (barely able to hear), but get increased above 50%. Is it normal? At full volume it is okay but for 2 speakers i think it is low. Is it a bug, rectified in Jelly Bean?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
Running the image through cwm builder was the first thing I tried since it's the easiest option but it didn't build because it required the TARGET_CPU_VARIANT property in BoardConfig.mk. I am able to pick up the recovery.log and it loops in graphics.c even with the version you suggested. The four lines are repeated at 5 second intervals:

Starting recovery on Mon Jan 5 08:49:30 1970
can't open /dev/tty0: No such file or directory
framebuffer: fd 3 (720 x 1280)
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.8
Starting recovery on Mon Jan 5 08:49:35 1970
can't open /dev/tty0: No such file or directory
framebuffer: fd 3 (720 x 1280)

Starting recovery on Mon Jan 5 08:49:40 1970
can't open /dev/tty0: No such file or directory
framebuffer: fd 3 (720 x 1280)

I am going to put some logging in graphics.c and see if I can find the offending call.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
I also have images of every ICS partition as well as the system files. I have been able to restore ICS boot and recovery and I am pretty certain I have everything I need to get back to 100% ICS though I haven't had a reason to yet. :)

I am still working on getting the recovery UI rendered but I have made some progress and I know where the issue is. I have new ideas I am going to try later. It is nice having a recovery that is bootable on all discovers. Boots fast too. If anyone is interested in it in it's current state let me know and I'll upload it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Unjustified Dev:
Well I guess I'll just play the waiting game. How's recovery now? I forgot to tell you it only supports certain formats rgb8 something I'll let you know. Add me on hangouts android.c357@gmail.com
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
I am using RGBX_8888 which seems to be the setting everyone uses for the adreno 200 series GPU. I put a bunch of logging statements in various source files and found that it it calls recovery, gets through the various graphics init functions (can't recall the exact names but I'll have them in a while) but when it attempts to write text or the CWM background image to the screen it boot loops. I rebuilt my build environment on OSX because building in VirtualBox/Ubuntu was pretty painful on my 2 core Macbook Air and I am building now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vijayr2002:
I will wait for CM10.2.. :) Guys, one more problem. The standby time is great but when the phone is being used it is sucking the battery too much even with moderate use. Works for only 6 hours with 25% of brightness. :(

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
I just downloaded and recovered the nandroid from the last link gj23 so kindly provided and I can report that it works.

If you do this you will lose all of your data and magnus recovery (if you have it installed).

The full recovery procedure is basically:

1. Download and unarchive the nandroid zip on an sdcard in a folder (create them) /clockworkmod/backup

2. Install the sdcard in the phone and boot into fastboot

3. Fastboot boot recovery-magnus.img

4. Once in recovery select "restore from external sdcard", select the backup and go

5. Optional but recommended: Once the restore is finished factory reset

Notes:

The system partition restored is rooted. At this point if you wish to install JB I would recommend doing the update before installing CWM otherwise it will fail.

I too have submitted a request for the JB P9090 kernel Source Code. They have been releasing kernel sources for many of their phones including ones that originally came with ICS and then were updated to JB. I don't see why the wouldn't release the source for our phone. Just a matter of poking them enough I guess.
