The only tools I use for backing up files are Titanium Backup, CWM, & ES File Explorer. I use the batch operations in Titanium Backup for backing up my apps and data prior to switching between major ROM versions or builds that require a factory reset. ES File Explorer has a nice interface for cloud backups (box.net, dropbox, google drive, etc...). I use this for backing up all of my personal files from my sdcards (pictures, music, wallpapers, etc...) to the cloud that way they are easily accessed from all of my devices and my laptop. And, of course, I do CWM backups when I get my ROM the way I like it as an emergency restore point. I don't know if this helps but it's my strategy.

Sandpap is the CWM 2x or 3x? edify or amend?

Thx
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sandnap:
Magnus CWM is 6.0.2.8 and I built it from the CM jellybean branch. All of my updates use edify scripting.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sandnap:
I provided instructions for rooting both ICS and Jellybean in the 2nd post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sandnap:
While I have helped Discover owners restore soft bricked phones that is not the purpose of these tutorials.

My instructions can take any phone (ICS or JB) that isn't bricked and set it up with the unlocked bootloader, Jellybean, and most importantly CWM. When set up this way the phone becomes more robust and more difficult to brick.

Now down to business.

Unfortunately the error message you are getting confirms that you have the locked bootloader which is not good. Do you have any other android devices you can use to confirm that adb is set up and working correctly? Without adb your soft brick may very well be a hard brick.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sandnap:
Judging by your list of modified devices I am guessing you have adb set up correctly. :( The only way I have been able to recover discovers stuck in a bootloop is through fastboot (if they have the unlocked bootloader) or by pushing /system files via adb if the bootloop happens after the adb daemon has started.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sandnap:
Okay, one more thought. Are you able to boot into the stock recovery? If so have you tried doing a factory reset?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SErooted:
I have made it to the menu which gives these options....

Pdl download

Fastboot

Reboot

Power off

No reset option and I can't get adb going at all....

Also yes.... I have several of my other devices and have confirmed working adb and fastboot with those.

I have unistalled drivers and pc suite and reinstalled.

All drivers but adb for this device have been loaded again and confirm connection with the device. Still no adb.:( I'm going to try a few more things with my files and drivers... If I can somehow manage to get it to detect the phone and show installation of adb... Maybe there can be a way to push files to it and get it booted. As I appreciate all suggestions... I realize I have gone off topic from the thread... And would greatly appreciate pms regarding the matter so I don't continue to clutter the thread.

Thank you all in advance... To forward to all your insight. If after I get this running again...hopefully... I can contribute more to the dev side and work on a Rom.

Upgraded to JB

Hi guys,

I got a pantech discover 2 days ago. I was unable to run the at&T update to jelly bean (Outside the US and with another company). I just followed the instructions here, rooted setup cwm and upgraded to jelly bean. All seems fine so far :laugh: My apps are running, phone remained unlocked. I will test everything I can think of within the next few days and report back. Sandnap, I can't think you enoughexcellent work we really appreciate all the work you've put into this.

[MENTION=3605406]sandnap[/MENTION] purchasing a discover today. I have the money saved up from christmas

http://memphis.craigslist.org/mob/4276618679.html
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sandnap:
Excellent, it looks like a nice one. Have you been able to build CM without errors? I bought a newer Macbook and haven't had time to set up my build environment yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I lost my source by accident I deleted my cm-10.2/4.3 folder . I have synced it again only to build for my tab 3 . I guess I can start over again. I didn't want to start with 4.4 due to having to update the adreno blobs I would probably take them from the nexus 4. We also need to update prima wlan and more things kernel wise. I will do this too soon as I finish my tab.

Been working on preparing to merge kernel with qcom tag that mifl stated was good then I can merge something newer into place.

https://github.com/Pantech-Discover/android_kernel_pantech_magnus/commits/merge?page=1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mifl:
The kernel version released by Pantech for the msm8960 devices is 5000 commits behind what it takes to develop versions higher than Android 4.1 (cm-10.0). For this reason I am currently trying to modify a generic msm8x60 kernel based on "caf/jb_2.2". My intention is to update: ion, kgsl and sync. Then for the camera forcing drivers to "caf/jb_2.5.3" and modify the USB drivers, trying to adapt these from another device. In the following days I will try to create a repo with all the changes. But I am having many conflicts and may not be a clean history.

It would also be good to create a new thread, labeled with Pantech, only for kernel development for Pantech devices based on msm8960 chipset, because they all have the same problems: Flex, Discover, Perception and Vega Racer 2.

Greetings.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I cherry-picked a few things then did a git diff from the tag you showed me and I read every part of the diff from top to bottom whatever change didn't exists I cherry-picked it. I am nearly done with cherry-picking all missing things to get a clean patch without seeing a bunch of things from that branch be removed by stock removing things it doesn't has. Last thing I am on is updating charger. I have usb updated most commits were right after the linux foundation commit. The charger is far behind not that it matters since we have our own version of it I just thought it would be good to make support for all devices when I merge . I am pushing now my first commit with just pantech files like headers and various hardware. I will push the actual work I've been doing tomorrow if possible. I just want to get a commit that can show me full support in one commit with everything working.

This is how far I have gotten grabbing missing things the rest was actually there. I don't know about 500 commits since I don't how you got that figure . If you can explain how I would appreciate it.

https://github.com/Pantech-Discover/android_kernel_pantech_magnus/commits/merge

I don't know if you mean pantech drivers need updating like the specific pantech files or just the kernel ones in general msm stuff

I'll create a new thread tomorrow but seems like it's not many people with this device. That's a shame since it will get some good stuff soon

I am willing to help in any way I can although I'm not familiar with programming. I build pc's and mod consoles etc. Avidly watching the topics though.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
idk honestly . You can build roms once they start working . I only have a dual core pc. Building pc's and modding consoles isn't too far from programming. I am not at skill like sandnap where I can write code or like mifl and so good with kernels and C. I am just good with reading and attempting to understand. You can start by probably just building code from source reading on how to do it. I just learned how to build in Feb 2013 and from then I started learning more and wanting to work on my device myself. I imagine once I learn to write code it will be quicker and things will make more sense to me. For now just reading around and learning qcom and your device is a lot of help .

[MENTION=2212276]mifl[/MENTION] [MENTION=3605406]sandnap[/MENTION] this is what i have done so far with merging it looks good and it built no errors same size as stock kernel . 4 hours spent on this

Hey guys,

I just picked up 2 of these P9090's to put on AT&T's new family plan. I'm excited that we may soon have Kitkat 4.4 on it! Hopefully things are still progressing well.

Thanks to all that are involved in this development!

Sent from my VZW Galaxy Note II
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sandnap:
Welcome and good choice, it's a great phone. I have 3 of them on my family plan. Good things are in the works. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SilentStray:
I currently have the P9090 and am willing to test with it. I have the unlocked boot-loader with the CMW recovery and the JB update that's on the OP. However, I require the stock recovery in order to factory reset.

I made the mistake of enabling phone encryption after installing the CMW. As a result the phone will no longer mount /data or /sdcard thus not being able to succeed in performing a factory reset.

On another side note. Wiping the delvik cache is also not possible it gives no errors or confirmations of a wipe and appears to have done nothing.

Thank you guys for your work on this phone. This is one of those rare gems at a great price point that gets overlooked.

Update 1: Seems like not being able to wipe the delvik cahche after the JB update from here is causing the battery to instantly drain after reaching about 40% battery life. Also, at the time the phone is draining itself its' temperature reaches an uncomfortable to hold high.

Update 2: Was able to get a factory reset after many many restarts and manual mounts and unmounts.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] greg97526:
4.4 soon?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Mifl is still working on the kernel . Cm10 soon 4.1.2 then 4.2.2 we can't go further
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SilentStray:
CM Is honestly good enough for me ^^.

Another recovery would be nice as well. I know nothing about android programming but I'm going to give it a go to get TWRP on here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Flip956:
Unlock?

Does this unlock the phone from carriers?

I had unlocked mine previously to this JB update and it stayed unlocked.

I had a previous post where I could help people unlock them but I had not been around for a quite a while.

Sidenote: Are random shutdowns normal with this update?? I get one at least 1 every 2 days if not more often.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SilentStray:
This will not unlock your phone, that has to be done on the carrier side.

Random shutdowns are not normal. I have not have a random shutdown since updating. You can try to mitigate it by going into the CMW recovery and "Fixing Permissions" if that doesn't work you may need to re-install the ROM paying close attention to clear the cache and delvik cache several times.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Flip956:
[/COLOR]

I will try that soon. Thanks for the quick reply!

For anyone looking to UNLOCK the Discover PM me I might still be able to help on that front. :cowboy:

All I need is your IMEI, Country, and Provider.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] greg97526:
only problem i have with the jb update as of now is that when i reboot the phone i get "android is upgrading" every time. a minor annoyance at most but just curious if anyone knows why or has an idea how to fix it. fixing permissions did not work either

will still be waiting for cm though if nothing else.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SilentStray:
I only got that screen once. Be sure that you wipe the delvik cache and cache before and after installation.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] greg97526:
I have, several times now. I can deal with it till the updates.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
As of now we're stuck with 4.1.2 since the pantech stuff is hard to add into any newer kernels which is a requirement. So I synced 4.1.2 aosp from codeaurora/qcom opensource. It will probably be a week or so before I can report any progress being made etc. I attempted to port twrp but it's only booting to a blackscreen but apparently it loaded adb works , but I can build cwm and it works perfectly.

If you want to test it just to peak around I have gotten the build to a semi stable environment the sensors are working and it's no longer constantly rebooting as before.

Not working

Most likely RIL that means signal period I can't test this yet

Wifi , bluetooth , camera , etc

it boots :) and it's nice to see very fast

Let me know if I should release a build or keep working

It took [MENTION=3605406]sandnap[/MENTION] and me a long time to fix the oops I had before so I will wait for a proper release lol. Ty so much for all your work, if I had a backup phone I would test it out though.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sandnap:
Luckily with CWM/TWRP and a NAND backup recovering a FUBAR system partition will be as simple as restoring the backup. Though it was touch and go the last time around so I understand the hesitation. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sandnap:
Once again, nice work! Whenever it's convenient for you upload it to a host I wouldn't mind poking at it. I would build it from the github repo but I still haven't had the time to get CM building natively on my Macbook. I should just give in and set up a VirtualBox Linux image.
