Thanks for the great work getting recovery going. Looking forward to eventual roms.

I don't use the Flex as my main phone.

Use a Droid DNA (with Viper rom) and have two One X's (also with Viper) with other family members.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
Lol so your flex could be a tester phone?

I used the method described on this thread in windows worked fine. I didn't realize you guys were doing it in Linux. Lol

Anyone god any insight on making my tethering mod zip installable? It would basically deleting and replacing a system database file. PM me please.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tersanyus:
Could be. I don't want to brick it though, lol. And I used the windows root as well. The Linux thing looked a bit too much for me though I could have done it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freakshow999:
I used the Linux root and Windows for the recovery...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
Now you can windows root and windows recovery but Linux root is sure fire way

Guess no one is. Is anyone??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
I am actually also I've contacted devs. Who may be able to port there roms. Over to our phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
I hope we get some roms soon..I attempted to port cm10 but Im a total noob at this :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
Cm10 is tough it seems we should build it from ground up there's a great thread on here with the groundwork all set up for us! Just search wip. Pantech. Flex Cm10 for now I think we should focus on a stock deodxed rom with no bloat? Seems easier
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] donavan01:
Honestly I disagree I think going with stock roms is a deadend path. Sure we can create a couple of cool roms but we will never be able to upgrade to newer more powerful versions of android because we will always be limited to using the ROMs Pantech has provided for us. So far we have seen some major advancements with this phone we go root both in linux and windows, we have a custom CMW and none of these things are to be scoffed at. Yes making a working CM10 for this phone will be hard and tremendously confusing but I think doing that will provide a longer support life for this phone. And honestly I think we have to know-how in this evolving little group of ours to actually pull it off. I would love to give it a go but honestly I just dont have the time between the 55+hours a week at work and getting ready for my wife to have my first tiny human I just don't have the time. But I know so of you out there do. Sure i might be hard but im willing to bet most of us on here didn't get this phone to leave it alone or run the stock software. So this is my word of encouragement, Code!!! Code like there is no tomorrow. I know if we pull our resources we can do it. I will help any way I can even if its only as a beta tester.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
Haha. Dang this was pretty inspirational made me feel like the geeky version of remember the titans lol your right I guess what my point was well all have to start somewhere and stock isn't such a bad idea yes when I bought this phone i. Told. The att. Guy straight up, if I buy a Pantech mark my words I will not keep it the way it came out the box so I agree with you cm and miui would be awesome and understandably im. At school and work 8 to 10 hours a day

Does anyone know if this will work on the Discovery?

The phones are very similar.

The discovery has root....

If I do try this on mine, and it doesnt work, can I get to a SW Upgrade Mode at least?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
Just fastboot boot boot.img it and try. It wont hurt anything. But I think the resolution is different on the discover so that would be a problem.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Superus3r:
I tried it and CWM doesn't appear, just a blank screen appears. My phone restarted no problem though and I put the recovery file back in /system/ ....

I hope someone can get it CWM to work for the Discover!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
The discover is exactly like the htc one x. And v. Not the PantechP8010. Sorry to tell you. We can help as much as possible but. It's a different phone. Aside from the branding the bootloader could be different then flex is more like the burst

Hey op could you please post a build that give access to both the internal and external sdcards. Thank You.

I will work on one after school
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] atadres:
Ehh is it really nessasry we need ROM's more then anything we have nothing to flash
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
Well in the meantime people without external sd can recover from bricks at least.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superbart007:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
The new build has been up for days :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superbart007:
Lol, my bad :o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superbart007:
Hey does the new version read both internal and external sdcards.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
There is one version for internal and one for external. I couldn't integrate them both into one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
wait....

I just realized something about the internal version.. if you do a factory reset it completely erases /data files and stuff (where the sdcard is actually mounted) so be careful with trusting internal sd nandroids.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chadw1985:
Im so glad others are working with this phone. Thanks for the work put in to making the recovery work.I picked this phone up two days ago. Ive been doing some modding on the stock rom with what little time I have had to play with it. So far i have fully deodexed it, freed up some of memory, removed at&ts stuff, changed boot animation, added some build.prop tweaks for graphics and speed, init.d support, Walkman player and widget, Opera mobile for desktop user agent, ES file explorer, and Android Terminal to system apps. Lots more to come.I have a copy of this in a nand backup if anyone would like it. Just please if i do give it to you, do a factory reset after install so my stuff wont be on it.

EDIT: Updated superuser and added busybox to system/apps as well. Still Working on other mods!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
I would like a copy of the modded one :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chadw1985:
Can I get someone that is completely stock to do an antutu benchmark and post there scores so I can see how much improvement I have made? I forgot to do one before I started modding.

I can open a new thread for this if needed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
Stock rom scores. only did some ui changes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chadw1985:
Im averaging between around 10,500 and 10,750. So i have made a little improvement. Will you do it again? This time with quadrant benchmark
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chadw1985:
Not bad for a stocl rom

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mmapcpro:
When I put the phone in fastboot mode by holding vol+ and vol- while pressing the power button, I get a black screen with just "FAST BOOT Mode" written in white font at the top. Then when I open my command prompt within Windows XP, and type "fastboot boot boot.img", I get "<waiting for devices>", and it sits there forever.

I did install the pantech suite, but it still doesn't ever install proper drivers...the only way I can connect my phone is while it's booted up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
Well it should install the drivers automatically when you plug the phone in while its in fastboot mode.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mmapcpro:
It doesn't. I even installed the Google USB drivers through the Android sdk manager. In device manager, it has a yellow question mark next to "USB device"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
Are you using the usb cable that came with it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mmapcpro:
No, I'm using my cable from my HTC one x. The guy I bought this phone from didn't have the charger.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chadw1985:

Sorry stupid question, where is the adb folder to put the boot.img into? I'm sorry, I can't find it.

Please help.Thanks.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timmythanoob:
Whatever folder the adb.exe file is in.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freakshow999:
Make sure you have the USB settings set to MTP mode in your phone settings as well as USB debugging checked in the developer settings. If either of those aren't set correctly abd or windows may not see your phone properly.

Damn that was a long sentence lol. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mikey199:
This method worked great for me. I'm really enjoying the flex. I come from the burst good phone terrible battery life. Might want to ask some of those guys they have cm10 running on the burst as a daily driver everything pretty much works.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stuartmc:
Ok Guys, Noob here so be gentle. I successfully obtained root by finally getting the Pantech PC suite to load without hanging and running Binry's root program. The problem I am having now is that when I have the PC Suite loaded, my phone isn't recognized when I connect it via USB. I have to uninstall the PC suite and then reconnect the phone using MTP mode and no Debugging to get the usb driver to reload and my computer to "see" my device. Now when I go to fastboot and run adb on my computer it always prompts me to install the driver and no matter where I go in "browsing" I can't get the driver to load.....hence adb does not recognize any connected device. I'm about ready to pull my hair out because I have deleted the reboot file from "system" via root explorer as directed here and I can't for the life of me get the damn adb program to recognize my phone and add the boot.img file.

Some advice/help would sure be appreciated.

And If it makes any difference, I'm using windows Vista.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mikey199:
Phone has to be on and android debugging checked for adb. Fast boot is fast boot commands. Is it just the pantech suite not seeing it? I don't use it but don't you need the pantech suite app running on the phone. Btw I use windows 7.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superbart007:
Had anyone tried doing CM9 first since the kernel that was released is for I.C.S.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stuartmc:
I have debugging checked. The Pantech suite isn't required or used for the Flex. It does, apparently have some drivers that are needed for certain functions, like Binry's rooting program. It is not just the pantech pc suite that doesn't recognize my phone, it is also the adb program on the computer the phone is hooked up to.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mikey199:
You have android dev program and java sdk installed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stuartmc:
Yes both are installed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stuartmc:
I finally got it to work. I used the program PdaNet to load the universal drivers for the Android ADB interface. Now it loads the proper drivers and the phone is recognized when i run adb devices. I now have a full Nandroid backup on my external SD card!....I am feeling oh so safe and am ready to play with some roms. My hat is off to all those who have made this possible.

Can't root );

So I tried posting in the thread that actually has the instructions for rooting in windows but the thread appears to be dead.

I can't get my phone to root.

Bin4ry say's it completes successfully but my phone does not have su or root access. My phone also runs like a glacier and the only way to fix it is to do a full restore.

I have done this multiple times with the exact same results and the only way to get my phone back to a usable speed is to do a factory reset.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this or how to fix it?

I have rooted dozens of devices and I find this very bizarre.

Pantech Logo bootloop

Hey guys,Well,I successfully installed CWM on my Flex using your method.Everything worked great! But like an idiot i only made a CWM backup instead of a backup on my PC and decided to download and install a custom ROM built to similate the Xperia. Since i was used to setting things up like i did with my Captivate i formatted the system after doing my data factory reset and cache/dalvik cache wipe and when i went to install my new ROM zip is was gone along with ALL my files. Now i only have the Pantech logo on boot displaying. I can still use adb fastboot to reboot to bootloader but cant seem to install any zip files because it says my zip doesnt contain the ANDROIDMANIFEST.xml. I also still have CWM but every file in it is empty. Anyone know of a One-click unbrick for the flex or something similiar to get me back up? I have also found a 6GB stock backup someone posted downloaded but still cant get adb fastboot to install it either.Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!! :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mikey199:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Darian71:
Thanks, i found it. Also seen where Chad noticed using the internal version would have problems using CWM backup. Must have been what happened with mine. Again,.THANKS!! Will try it sometime today.:fingers-crossed:

Update: I did everything you described in your post except I don't have the sd card slot in my laptop so I used my Samsung Captivate to push the boot.img and the CWM External zip to the external sd. I also put the "Ice Flex Sandwich" zip along with the "stock with root zip" on the external sd. Placed the external sd back in the Flex and using ADB/fastboot successfully have your clockwork mod back on the phone and can reboot into it by using the volume up+power buttons. It even suscessfully installed the p8010 zip but when I try to install any of the other zips such as the Ice flex or stock with root it aborts while trying to open the file. I tried manually with ADB/fastboot and after about 45 minutes after it creates the boot,img and downloads it, and says booting..., it will either give me an error saying too many links,( which I made sure I had them named with only one zip) or it will say unknown write error. Any idea what in the world I have done or need to do that I may have missed here? Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is still stuck on Pantech logo, with your clockwork mod working fine except it wont mount usb storage,.says file doesn't exist.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Darian71:
Up and running!!!

UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE!!! Wooo Hoooo!! I went to the "IceFlex Rom" thread and went back step by step extracting the zip into a folder I created and copied to my external sd, formatted as it said and got the md5 mismatch. Followed timmythenoobs fix "somewhat", instead of typing cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/FlexBackup, I ended up simply typing cd /sdcard and it found my sd card finally. Then I typed the cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/FlexBackup and simply followed the rm nandroid md5 etc instructions, hit restore system in my backup and rebooted...and....WA LAAA! UP AND RUNNING AND LOOKING PRETTY SOLID!!

THANKS YOU GUYS SOOOO MUCH. Will be reporting back on possible bugs if any and pros and cons so that maybe someone else can benefit.:D:D:good::good:

So on ptcrb says pantech has an update for our phone and it was approved mar 28 2013 http://ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=21198. I noticed the burst also has an approved update as well. I'm sure it's just bug fixes but it be awesome if it was jellybean.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zapper_master:
Can we use the recovery method for the pantech burst on the flex ? For the life of me I cannot get cwm to work the way its listed here...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mikey199:
No no no don't they are totally different partitions it will brick your phone. All you do is either boot to cwm if installed or run fastboot boot boot.img while phone is in fastboot mode and connect to computer. Download the cwm img rename to boot.img and install the already downloaded and placed in cwm recovery folder(if you don't have a folder run cwm backup it will create it you can then keep it move it to pc or delete it. Make a folder in same directory as your backup and place the rooted flex jellybean files in it using same folder structure as your backup. Boot into cwm go to backup/restore hit restore and pick your jellybean rom folder wait til done. Reboot and your done. Also delete/format cache dalvik and system in cwm before installing jellybean.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zapper_master:
A little help please. I do not have CWM installed, so I am trying to install it. Here is what I did and results-

put phone in fastboot mode

went to adb folder where I also have boot.img renamed and downloaded

opened command window and typed- fastboot boot boot.img

then I get error " cannot load boot.img"

I don't know if I have given enough information? what am I missing...thanks for any help !

Oh, phone is rooted running jb...

OK, playing a little more...just remaned boot.img again and tried entering commands. Got this: downloading-ok, rebooting-FAILED,(remote, not support!! )
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mikey199:
Can't do that on jb yet thought it was a root issue now im 100% sure it's because the bootloader is locked. Att is locking all their phone bootloaders. No way around this yet although the s4 active and s3 community are trying to figure it out. Hopefully they find a universal method of unlocking until then fastboot support is about non existent only worthless commands work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zapper_master:
Thanks for the info Mikey ! So if I understand correctly, if we are on JB and rooted there is no way (at this time) for us to install CWM ? Darn it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mikey199:
Correct. Until bootloader gets unlocked no cwm no custom roms and need a new way to root stock jellybean.
