Pantech Burst Essentials (Not Maintained)

*********************************************************
Sorry to all but I just don't have the time to maintain this thread like I used to
You can check out http://forum.gizmolord.com/android-modding/pantech-burst-quick-guides/ as that seems to be a pretty nice arrangement of Burst stuff.
If anyone wants to use the guides I wrote up in a different thread, please feel free to do so.
*********************************************************

I did not develop any of the following root, CWM, or Stock ROMs. I just wrote up the instructions and am using this thread to organize current and hopefully future development to make it easier to locate needed files and instructions to use the files.

No need to thank me. Thank those that really deserve it, the devs
Thanks!: jcase, Attn1, IOMonster, and any others I may have missed

Let me know if there is any suggestions to improve the instructions or if something is not clear, if there is something I may have missed, or especially if there is someone else that should be thanked.

*Note: My computer is Windows 7 64bit, directories will be different on 32bit Windows. I have no idea how to do this on Linux but if someone does know how, please feel free to add instructions to this thread or PM me the instructions and I will edit my post to include them and will acknowledge that you wrote them.

*I am not responsible nor are any of the devs responsible for any lost data or bricked devices. Follow at your own risk and be sure to Back up your data before doing anything.

CWM & Root

UnRoot (Revert back to stock)

FOR GINGERBREAD May not work if you have updated to ICS. I have not tried. Let me know if you do try though
*You will need both Stock ROM and Stock Recovery to apply OTA update when/if they are released
**Restoring these will most likely wipe your data so be sure to backup first!!!

Restore stock ROM with CWM
1-Download one of the following zipped backup:
Presto-GRJ90_11282011.zip (mirror) (original firmware)
JUUS03122012.zip (mirror) (1st stock update)
JUUS06252012.zip (mirror) (2nd stock update, newest)
2-extract zip to the "/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/"*
3-If you have CWM installed on phone, boot into CWM and skip to step 7*
4-If you don't have CWM installed, Download cwm-5.0.2.7-presto.img (mirror) and save it to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools”
5-open your command line and navigate it to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools” folder
6-Run the following commands
7-backup and restore > restore > select backup to restore > Yes – Restore
8-You may need to do a “wipe data/factory reset”, “wipe cache partition”, and Wipe Dalvik Cache” to get OTA updates that AT&T/Pantech push out.
9-reboot system now

Stock recovery

CM9 ROM - Still a lot not working on it but it does boot which is awesome. Looks like we should thank jznomoney for building this ROM and whoever leaked this ROM. *Install via CWM using the "Install zip from storage" option. May want to do a full wipe and a dalvik wipe before booting into it.

FYI guys the JUUS03122012.zip file seems to be corrupt-there's no way to open it as a zip (I tried with 7-zip as well as windows explorer on multiple downloads). Does anybody have a working version of this file since Pantech isn't pushing it out?

I re-uploaded it. Give it a try now.

Presto-GRJ90_11282011.zip is corrupt

Found this on Jcase's profile. its 200+mb and the file dropbox had was only 160mb

OK, that is fixed now. I uploaded all the files through a web browser and that way seems to corrupt the files. I uploaded all the files through the drop box client on my computer now so they should all be working.
I also cleaned up the unrooting section and added the cwm backup for the latest update that was pushed out.

Great! The more places we can get information posted, the more interest we can hopefully get for this phone. I pretty much stick to XDA. If anyone else knows any other sites, feel free to quote these instructions or link to these ones.
