Thanks to XDA Member noobfordroid we now have the original Boot.img and Recovery.img files that we can use to further our development for this great phone. I plan on taking a better look at them later today, but until then you all are free to check them out! noobfordroid would of posted himself but he doesn't have enough posts to post a link yet.

I ported the cwm recovery and tried to push it to the phone but it is giving an error.
[email protected]:/home/shyamalapati/android/out/target/product/p8010# fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (6904 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.707s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Not Support !!)
finished. total time: 1.713s
fails to write smh have u tried to manualy write the recovery image using root explorer on the phone just replace the file in the directory ?
I'm going to have to take a look when I get to my mother in laws. Has anyone tried asking a developer for the Pantech Burst? There may be a simple solution to the issue that we are overlooking.

EDIT: Also, maybe the recovery partition has a type of lock? Similar to S-ON maybe? I'm going to ask some Pantech Burst developers to see what they have to say.
From doing a few searches with the error it seems to come up often in Pantech phones (other brands as well). It could be the version of CWM or it could just be a locked bootloader issue, or just a bootloader issue. I'm not sure myself but I'm getting my netbook set up with Mint and ditching the VM so I can find out myself.
Sent from my PantechP8010 using Tapatalk 2
EDIT: My VM is up and running now and I'm going to explore. From what I've gathered so far we need to unlock the bootloader to be able to flash anything to the partitions, this can be done with "fastboot oem unlock" I don't know if that command is going to be that easy but I'm going to check it out! If that fails then were going to need to tackle the bootloader first, also for the recovery, Rootzwiki has been a great source, and they have a tutorial for everything we are looking into, there is a command but I can't remember it right now in fastboot that allows us to boot partitions without them effecting the phone. We should try booting the recovery to see if it works, if it works we may need to flash something in the recovery to unlock the bootloader. I might be completely wrong but hopefully the unlock command works.

yeah sounds right youve had an evo before idk when but if ur one of the early users of the froyo root method we had to unlock a bootloader using a certain comand in adb to be able to downgrade to an earlier 2.2 that was rootable before the one clicks came out ill try to find that old evo tutorial and find that command lol there was a video i belive with it and the rootz wiki is what my other link on the other page was supposed to send u to i guess i missed a couple of words in the URL on that other page lol good luck to you keep us updated im glad the flex has gotten a community like ours that can use examples to start from scratch
Command should be "fastboot boot recovery.img". User attn1 from the burst developers said if it boots the recovery we should be able to install it with the recovery. I can also use fastboot on Windows in case anyone is interested. Also can we get the custom CWM posted?

@noobfordroid could you please PM us a link to your cwm recovery ? wow @jsterrling someone from burst actually replied ive been trying for a while now lol hope we can get this up and going using the fastboot command and that the security measures on this boot loader are not insane like that of HTC

Yeah, I actually joined the IRC channel and left a message, he was nice enough to reply back right after I got off of work. I'm probably going to be pretty busy up until Friday with work, I took a lot of time off for other reasons but I'm going to try to work on unlocking the bootloader when I can. Fastboot can be used in Windows just installed the Google USB drivers that come with the SDK and all is well.
We just need a custom CWM which I guess I'm going to start working on unless noobfordroid can post his.

hello to all, i was given this phone by a friend cuz its stuck in CWM. im not new to android but i am to this phone( i have a G2x wich was easier by far to figure out). anyways after much searching in these forums i couldnt find anything to do with this problem so here it is.
I am stuck in CWM. i try to flash a rom( i have tried multiple times with different roms) and i get an error 7. does anyone one know what that means, and if so how do i fix it?
ive been trying to re root or revert to stock but adb must have been disabled and or debugging. any help would be awesome. for now ill keep searching and trying to get adb up and going...
i wonder if having lg drivers for my g2x on my comp would mess with adb....
any comments and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
lmao your lucky your friend never heard of google, but I guess you haven't either haha. Anyway, you need to download a new rom and flash because the one on your sdcard is corrupt
Yup more than likely a bad download or possibly a corrupt partition of sdcard, reformat card, redownload rom, check md5sums
Nope having lg drivers won't effect this phone, but not having the right drivers for this phone is probably why adb doesn't work
Also the g2x is kinda fake rooting funky business, as you found this phone is much different. I would suggest booting into hboot and checking what bootloader you have and if the security flags are still on or not, can make a difference when flashing a rom.
Probably worth your while to read through the stickies and search the forum a bit too

Lol. Seriously dude. I'm not a noob at flashing Roms. I have tried to flash at least 6 different Roms all ending up with error 7. I'm brand new to this phone so treat me like I need a step by step, but don't be condescending plz.

In my signature you'll see a "Mirrors" link. Go there and at the bottom of Post #1 you'll see HTCdrivers.exe. Grab them & load 'em up. ADB should work for you then. Then issue "adb reboot recovery" from a cmd line and when there go to "mounts & storage" & activate. Copy the ROM you want to your SD card while retaining your boot.img in your ADB folder. Wipe Dalvik twice. format cache & then factory reset. Format system then under "mounts & storage". After ROM has flashed from .zip in CWM leave it there and issue "fastboot flash boot boot.img" fom ADB. Reboot & let it settle. Should work.
Don't turn your phone on.....go to HBoot by holding volume down & power at the same time & bypass boot sequence..
I should also mention the reason why this phone is messed up like it is. It was rooted running a custom Roman and then the previous owner did and total. Is that gonna matter much?

Sounds like maybe he was flashing while unlocked with the kernel going in seperately. Your HBoot will tell you that if it says "S-On".
All that aside, XMC is right though. Somehow your ROM is corrupt.
Sorry my typing sucks. The previous owner did an OTA update. i try to get to hboot but it goes straight to cwm. downloaded the drivers from the link provided even...still no adb devices listed in the device manager or when i type in "adb devices" command. if i can get adb working i can get this all fixed, but ill be a raped ape if i knew what the hell happened to this phone.

Thats where your issues are coming from then. You probably have the ....1313 bootloader with S-On. Reread all your responses here & it should get you there.
Well I wouldn't be the first to say that about the g2x, a friend of mine has one and I needed to root it for him, kinda laughed as I read through the forum on how everything is done there, not saying devs aren't talented just saying the phone is well... I don't know how to say it politely so I just won't
Boot into your bootloader and write down everything on that screen here so we can help, if you get adb running just type
adb reboot bootloader
If not power on while holding volume down and you'll get there
My guess is the phone is s-on and the bootloader was at one point unlocked, glad you still have a recovery though, I warned people about this type of stuff before... not to say that I warned you or your friend, just feels as if people believe me some times
Read last post on page 4 some info about your situation, hell skim the whole thread to understand a bit more about htc phones

got adb working...well, adb recognizes a device.....it give me no name just a string of numbers and letters
i followed your instructions to the T. got as far as flashing the rom...error 7 again(big suprise lol)after said error, flashing boot.img doesnt work terminal hangs at waiting for device.
In case your wondering what comes before the error 7....here is:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device)=="doubleshot"
E:Error in /sdcard/mikTouch.zip
(Status 7)
String of numbers is your phone, that's normal
Flashing boot.img is done through fastboot not adb, did you ever make it into your bootloader? It may help if you do and write down everything here.

Pull your battery for 15 seconds then pop it back in. Then hold volume down + power & make sure your usb cord isn't plugged in or it will just start booting. That will take you to your bootloader. Write all that down the use volume down to navigate to the "recovey" option. Use power button to select it. From recovey's initial screen use trackpad to to get to the "install from .zip". Next screen select ".zip location" (or something like that). Trackpad down to the ROM.zip file & select. Install. After done...."fastboot flash boot boot.img" then reboot. Let it settle for 5 minutes.

Yeah if the phone you have in your hands is made by lg then that's your issue, you have a my touch q or something, this forum is for the HTC made mytouch 4 g slide. If this is the case it makes a whole lot of sense your errors when flashing, not being able to get into bootloader, etc.
The old good news would be you probably didn't brake anything, just find the right forum, put it into download mode and restore with some kinda lg stock thing.

come back anytime
I rooted and put a octane 2.x rom on her phone 9 months ago. Today she said everything started acting up. Radio quit, would not connect. All the apps force closed. She kept getting an error saying GoLauncher needs to be re-installed so she went back to the ics launcher that comes with the room. No apps would work at all.
I came home and booted into recovery (Clockwork) and tried to do a restore. Now it's stuck at the boot up screen. I've done a battery pull and it still does it. This is not my phone and I'm not well versed with it. It took me 11 hours root/rom it last June.
I do not know adb shell. I tried, but I just don't think I have a strong enough computer background. I've rooted my old Thunderbolt, my Transformer Prime and her phone.
If I could get to recover I'd do a wipe and re-install the rom. I still have Heimdall, but I do not remember how to use it. I bricked it when I rooted it the first time, that's why it took so long.
I will be searching while this thread is up. She needs her phone ASAP b/c she interviewed for a job today and she's expecting/hoping for a call.
Follow the guide in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Basically put your phone in download mode and click on one of Heimdall versions to get your phone back to factory. Click on the bootloader option as well in Heimdall.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Is there an option to NOT go back to factory un rooted? It took me so much time to root it, I don't want it to all be a waste. Stock rooted would be fine.
There is a heimdall version that will get you rooted and factory. Flash that version. That version was by eollie, in the second post, second link. Or you can flash the Heimdall stock rom and later flash with Heimdall AntonX kernel to get it rooted. All in the link above, so read it all the way down.

So you flashed the bootchain in PDA, waited for the tar file to flash, your S3 rebooted on its own and it would not boot back up? Or did something else happen? I've used that thread and many others as you can see in there with no issues.
Cuz unfortunately that sounds like a hard brick and there's two ways of recovering from that. The first way is doing this which requires you to have a class 10 sdcard that is the same size as your phone's internal storage. The other way is paying and shipping it off to a third party service like MobileTechVideos.

So I've been working on this all night last night and all day today.
The issue- phone will boot, get to the red Verizon boot screen, sit there for approximately 45-60 seconds, then go to the lock screen. Within a couple of seconds, Then a message pops up that says process com.android.phone has stopped, then the phone reboots.
What I've tried- flashing various Vralec boot strings through Odin 3.2 and 1.3. Also tried five different stock ROMs and a CF Auto Root, in the hopes unlocking the bootloader would allow me to get a ROM to flash. Each and every one of these things has had an AUTH fail in Odin. Can anyone help me please?
I've also googled stuck red verizon screen, verizon s3 boot loop, process com.android.phone has stopped. None of the solutions I've found have been helpful, and are usually what led to the actions tried above. I believe I've encountered this before, but I checked my post history and wasn't able to find a thread, so I assume I found the solution on my own the last time.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
What software version are you running? What baseband?

This is a warranty replacement from Verizon. Since I can't get it to boot, is there an alternative method to find those versions?
I have another S3, replaced less than a month ago, so I would assume they are the same software version and basebands, and that one is running 4.4.2 and I535OYUDNE1
The soft bricked, boot loop, S3 belongs to my girlfriend.
Flashing other ROMs on the S3 4.3 and newer will brick it. The bootloader was never unlocked. I'll try to find the thread describing the issue and post it here.

Flashing the ROMS through Odin failed every time, and none of that was done until AFTER the phone went in to a boot loop. It was already soft bricked, so I tried various different methods. Now I know, for future reference, that attempting to flash ROMs without unlocking the bootloader will brick it. Good to know.
If I can work around the Odin failed authorization, I believe I can flash a stock ROM to the phone and be all right, OR if someone can tell me how to unlock the bootloader, I should be able to flash a custom ROM, correct? It seems that the boot partition permissions were changed and have now affected the boot process, from what I've been reading.

Reading up on your link now, will let you know result. Thank you!
edit: ok, I looked at the download mode accessible link, and that is one I'd tried before. Flashed the ALL I535 .tar and ran in to the auth fail message on odin. Going to try the other method now.
No one has been able to unlock the bootloader since 4.3. I doubt anyone's really trying now because the phone is older. Sorry man.

I got towelroot to work to get my S3 to be able to install SuperSU and then Titanium Backup, but haven't found a bootloader unlock either. So, the phone is pretty much bricked?

Bricked no, if your able to install apps it's far from bricked. He is correct however once the bootloader is locked your pretty much stuck. Replacements directly from verizon are coming back with 4.4.2 installed.

Unless you can find a fully stock ROM to flash via Odin, you may be in trouble. Unlocking the bootloader isn't an option. Without seeing your phone, I won't say it's bricked though.

As I just stated in the post above yours if you can install apps the phone isn't bricked. Bootloader unlocking on the S3 with 4.3 or 4.4 is merely a possibility but probably unlikely

All right, tried the recover from computer, it's to recover a bricked bootloader. My bootloader isn't bricked, it's the actual ROM that's non functional. So that didn't help. Just need a stock ROM to flash to the phone, can still get to download mode, which connects to Odin, no problem, can also get to stock recovery, Volume Up, Menu, power. Just need a stock ROM that works, or a way to get whatever authorization Odin or the phone wants in order to flash a boot chain and stock ROM. (I do know now not to flash a custom ROM, thank you for that!)

Sorry, some clarification. I have TWO S3s, MY S3 is fine, and can install apps. The girlfriend's S3 is soft bricked and in a boot loop. Bootloader is fine, download mode is fine. Just hangs on red Verizon boot screen, when it gets to lock screen says process com.android.phone has stopped and reboots.

Been trying to find a fully stock ROM and been unsuccessful. Any I've found have failed in Odin and failed to flash in stock recovery mode, something about a certificate failure.

I definitely would not call that soft bricked. Can you get into recovery and try clearing cache and reboot? Worst case, factory reset from recovery and you should be good to go.

I can get in to recovery, I've tried clearing cache, factory reset, no dice. Exact same thing.
have you tried using odin or kies to just flash the stock NE1 4.4.2? youll have to reroot with towelroot afterwards but atleast the phone will be functional. as for the bootloader, sounds like its locked anyways so it wont be no worse than the shape youre in already.

I have tried that, I believe I haven't been able to find a stock 4.4.2 ROM though. I'm fine with rebooting and re rooting, that's not my concern, even if I can't root, I don't care about that. Could you point me to a solid stock ROM image?
The images I've tried, numerous labeled stock ROMs, and, out of desperation last night, two custom ROMs. Through either recovery mode, or Odin, all failed, through recovery it was a certificate error, and through Odin it was an authorization error. AUTH FAIL, specifically.

that last link i believe is the actual tar file for NE1 if i remember correctly, i used kies when i updated mine and i didnt encounter any errors. did you delete the .md5 so it was just .tar (not .tar.md5) before trying it in odin? i know most people prefer odin over kies but if youre having this many problems kies is worth a shot.
worst case i can upload the one i have
