[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berty720:
OK, solved it, As I said I tried apps to no success unlocking the APN to edit, So you mentioned custom ROM's and I did some research.

So first I rooted my phone then added theGT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4.tar then flashed the newest version of the Rootbox Jelly Bean ROM to my phone and fired it up and The APN was not only unlocked it was already set up to my provider and the data was working.

I tried adding the truth77supergapps-4.2-jb for the apps but it would crash as the phone started.

Thanks a bunch for the help I'm not sure how to change the title of the thread to solved though.

I tried multiple Gapps created by different people and all crashed at start up. So went looking and found lots of people having issues with, Trebuchet not responding, so I looked for a rom that didn't use it.

So I found this Avatar ROM 4.1.2 Jelly Bean ROM For Galaxy S2 I9100 and Flashed it on my phone and flashed gapps-jb-20121011-signed, to get my google apps and it went perfectly into the phone so now I have data and my google apps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guile_bio:
I just started rooting my phone, and in one of the tutorials, it says to find ROM Manager from the Market.

I search it up, and don't find it at all.

I looked up ways to install it, such as AppBrain (says it could not be found when I tried installing).

Any other way to find and install this app?

Is this the 4.0 update?

Will this remove my root?

Is it true this update will remove flash player?

I wouldnt mind 4.x.x, You can use Xbox360 SmartGlass.

Does Adobe Flash Player matter anymore?

Do I need to unroot to update ota or just click start?

Will updating remove my root SU?

How hard is it to ReRoot when i've finished updating?

My wife is in the sane boat as you. She's pure stock. Has had it since the free phone sale last year in T-Mobile. She is still on your firmware. GB 2.3.6 with the T989UVLDG baseband. She's had 3 OTAs since shes had it but remains on GB. Don't understand why. Her last OTA was the 17th as well. No idea what it was for since it took the longest of the 3 and left her on GB.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brickford5:
I am a complete newbee fresh off the apple bandwagon (and hopefully never looking back). I'm using this tablet primarily for note-taking in class and have a few questions regarding S-note and would be grateful for any guidance (sorry if these were asked elsewhere, I looked and didn't see anything).

Is there a way to select and move a portion of a note to a different part of the page?

Is S Note the only note taking app that will work with the S pen or is there any others that may be better?

I notice the button on the pen doesn't seem to do anything in the app, is this true? Can you set it to, for example, work as an eraser (or selector) when pressed?

Any additional advice on taking notes with this tablet? It seems to have an underwhelming level of functionality with how much the S-pen is touted. But then again I'm hoping it's just my naïveté.

Thanks in advance!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akafarmer:
nothing happens after fastboot boot recovery-evita.img

My phone is connected to my Windows 7 32 bit system and the drivers have installed successfully...well...all but one. It's the PC Data mode that fails during it's driver installation. The three other USB options that appear on the Pantech Discover's 'USB connection options menu' [Media device (MTP), Camera (PTP), and External memory (SD card)] have successfully installed and were each followed by an 'ADB Shell installation successful' confirmation as well.

I verified USB Debugging was selected within developer options and made sure the superuser and su binary files were saved to my internal SD card NOT my removable sd card.

At the command prompt i typed: cd c:\android (where my android files are located) > then 'fastboot boot recovery-evita.img' > the command window says its downloading boot.img...OKAY then booting...OKAY and then my phone simply turns off. I let it sit almost 30 min before attempting to power it back on. I had to remove the battery and USB cord before it would reboot. No damage done, my phone still functions properly.

Please help.

Oh! the name of the driver that fails installtion is titled 'Pantech P9090' in the device manager on my computer. When I turn the phone off the driver disappears after it shuts down, and just as it starts to charge while connected to the usb port on my computer, it suddenly attempts to install drivers for a generic 'Android' driver. Yes, as if my computer is detecting a totally seperate driver while it's in USB charge mode. don't know if it matters, just wierd is all.

any ideas?

thanks in advance,

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brickjr:
Same here

Unfortunately, I'm having the same issue. I went through all the steps with no issues at all, but when I rebooted my device and installed Titanium Backup, it said it couldn't obtain root access. I was really hoping this would work so I could restore some of my programs from my old phone. OP, any idea why it may not be working?

Also, if we can figure out why this isn't working, I've got another wish... Google Now. I've seen info online about flashing Now to ICS devices with CWM, but I know we don't have access to that yet. Is there any way we can do it via this same method. I'm not an ADB/Shell guru at all, so I'm not sure how to make it work. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for on both topics!

Wow...

Wow, these look amazing. Very impressed. I'm hesitant about getting a Discover because it only has ICS. Keep it up and I'd love to throw on what you have going. Good luck.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brickjr:
Wow! Maybe I'm not as dumb at this as I thought... I reviewed the initial instructions and then did some searching. I found several instances where the CHMOD command was used with 4755 instead of 0755 as listed in the instructions. I know that CHMOD is used to change the permissions a file has (read, write, execute), so I figured maybe the "0" wasn't setting the correct permissions. I went through the instructions again and changed it to CHMOD 4755, rebooted, and... tah-dah! I have root access. Yay!

Oh... one other thing. I also didn't check the "USB debug" option in developer options before, so I did that too. I'm not sure if that had something to do with it, but I really think it was the read/write accesses.

Now... if someone could help with my "Google Now" request, that would be AWESOME!! Loving this phone so far!

Any more progress?

I just go my Pentech Discover yesterday. I was wondering if there was any more progress on this phone. I can't do much until my trial period runs out, but I would be willing to test after that. It seems like a very quick, responsive phone. Also, do you have an IRC channel on freenode or anything like that? Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wakko222:
What about TWRP?

I was also wondering if you had tried to install TWRP on the Pantech Discover? There is an HTC One X Evita image on their web site. I have a Kindle Fire 2, and I have Cyanogenmod Jelly Bean 4.2.2 on it by having the locked bootloader jump to TWRP and then to Cyanogenmod. I don't know much about actual development, but I thought this might be a possible solution as you had used the CWM evita image.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ckshowtime:
I had this device rooted...and for some reason I reset the device. Now all I get is HTC Sync Error 1 and 2. In the off chance that I do get the thing to connect to PDANet, and placed into Fastboot mode, it then hangs at "connecting to your phone". Right now it appears that PDANet is my problem.

Is there anyway to root this device without PDANet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
Give that a try and let us know if it works for you. If that doesn't work I was able to root mine a while ago with the Windows utility UnlockRoot Pro vhttp://www.unlockroot.com/download.html mentioned on page 8. Be warned, it installs a bunch of 3rd party applications that (unless you want them) you will need to uninstall after you are rooted.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
I am not sure about the Discover but on other Android devices OTA updates often fail when system files are modified or removed which isn't a big deal when it's easy to flash the original ROM. I haven't tried this so I am not sure if it restores /system but as a last resort you can back up everything you need to an sd card and do a hard reset http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f606/pantech-discover-magnus-p9090-hard-reset-who-need-1640501/.

i just want this thing back to bare bones stock with all its bloatware etc so i can be at square one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
I don't think his system image is still available. I can create a system image but if it was my device I would try the reset and see if it restores the /system partition first since it would be lower risk.

The adb commands are pretty simple. Of course this unroot is permanent and you will have to root it again once you get the update.

From a computer terminal:

adb shell

From the android terminal

su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
exit
exit

Then reboot the phone.

adb reboot

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Once you are back to square one (assuming the reset works) and rooted again I would recommend installing Titanium Backup and using it to freeze bloatware rather than removing it. They are out of the picture when they are frozen but can be thawed for updates. Just my two pennies.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] greg97526:
well i tried the hard reset from holding power and up and then hitting up and power again and it showed rooted so wouldnt let me go back to square one, will try ur codes and see if it still says rooted in the hidden factory menu

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

after that i still have root.

and because its rooted i have no warranty to get it repaired.

when the JB update failed my home key no longer works to back out of programs and stuff. still lights up meaning its some conflict somewhere but im screwed at the moment

unroot

have you tried the OTA rootkeeper app from play store? it allows you to save root then temp. unroot to do your update. Then after update you can restore your root. It worked perfectly for me, but I didnt uninstall any bloatware, I just froze what I didnt want then defrosted before applying the update. Im not sure, but I dont think the update will not install correctly if your missing system apps. I do have a complete nandroid backup as well, not sure if anything will help but this is what I have:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jose makalolot:
what app did you use for this nandroid backup?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gj23:
I used OBackup

I know your still looking for the system .img but I still cant figure out how to get that to work....sorry dude

Im able to open the system.tar to a folder but not sure how to convert to a .img....any ideas? It wont let me compress to a zip file, it says I dont have permission to access "we-need-root"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] greg97526:
and how would i put a nandroid backup on here? i did try the ota rootkeeper from voodoo software but it still didnt work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
Did you root using the method in the original post?

If so your "su" is in a different directory than mine. You could replace "rm /system/bin/su" with "rm /system/xbin/su". However, if you are that messed up then I might think twice about unrooting at this point. You will need root to restore a nandroid backup.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gj23:
If im not mistaken, you would have to use ADB and flash from there. I really wish I had more answers for ya but I am definitely no expert at this, especially with the Discover. I gave up on that phone and let my wife have it and I got an S4. I'll try and provide you with whatever I can and hopefully someone else can walk ya thru the steps

I would have to guess that missing your system apps is the reason that your having all the problems
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] greg97526:
that would be my guess as well, how to i get a copy of your nandroid back up? and i am still rooted so maybe i can flash it to my phone if someone could help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gj23:
How many apps did you uninstall? Did you try to just go to the play store and see if the ones you need are there and reinstall them. heres the link for the system file with all the apps: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/r3n3loxxlrv08/systemext4

Im not exactly sure how to get this to your phone tho.....sorry, its been awhile since I messed with this phone and my memory is failing me and I dont wanna get ya in a worse place than ya already are. Hopefully someone will jump in and help out
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sandnap:
You can download everything in the app directory gj23 provided, remount the system partition as read/write as I described earlier, and "adb push" the contents from the downloaded app directory to /system/app on the device. My guess is that your problem is beyond the bloatware at this point if your home button is not working. Sounds like you have half & half ICS/JB. Your phone is definitely repairable as long as you can adb to it, you have root, and you have access to the files gj23 provided. One of my phones is still on ICS so I can provide files as well.

It goes something like this.

NOTE: If this is done correctly you will be fine but if you get any errors along the way please ask before proceeding.

1. Download the contents of the app directory provided above to lets say C:\pantech\app

2. In a terminal run:

adb shell
cd /sdcard
mkdir temp
exit

3. Now navigate to C:\pantech

cd C:\pantech

4. Now push the files to temp

adb push c:\pantech\app\ /sdcard/temp/

5. Mount the system partition

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system

6. Backup what you have in case you need them again

mkdir /sdcard/backup
cp /system/app/* /sdcard/backup/

7. Remove the old apps

rm /system/app/*

8. Copy the new apps

cp /sdcard/temp/* /system/app/

9. Make sure you have a bunch of jar files and odex files in the system/app directory

ls /system/app

You should have a bunch of files there.

10. Reboot

exit
exit
adb reboot

If you have your bloatware back but still have button issues you can do the same thing with the framework directory (substituting /system/app with /system/framework where appropriate, ask if you are not sure).
