Pantech Burst Bricked HELP!!!

I recently picked up a Pantech Burst phone from At&t, and upgraded to ICS. I then proceeded to root the phone using the prestoroot.img method and it worked. Everything was running dandy until I got the VM Heap tool app and(stupidly) set the vm heap to 52m and attempted to reboot... It failed and all I got was a loop of boot up animations. I tried several times to reboot, and then tried to boot to recovery mode and factory reset. That worked, but it STILL didnt reboot..! I dont have a backup, and whenever i try to " Install update from external storage", it just fails over and over again. I found thestock firmware and downloaded it to my external sd card and install(still to no success). Im only 13 and cant afford a new phone! PLEASE SOMEONE HEEEELLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bricked my phone few days back doing restore from CWM 6 downloeded online from ROM manager,
I wiped cache dalvik etc & rebooted, I could see the Tap the android screen then suddenly blank now it wont start
I get QHSUSB_dload in PC device manager any way out
I tried this method but I dont get the download button to click it remains greyed out.
Is there any driver for QHSUSB_dload?
Or do I have no hope at the moment or in near future?

just don`t use ROM manager for installing recovery . usually the result is bricked phone

Yah, i remember a fastboot brick i got from rom manager (LG Optimud ME)
Sent from a 2.8 inch screen

I also just bricked my Pantech Burst the same way...using ROM Manager. Is there a way to fix this or am I out of luck? I did try the method posted at the top of this thread. It just gets locked in the S/W Upgrading screen. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mine did not upgrade successfully, but I have the exact same problem. On day three of waiting for a callback from Pantech on the issue. They are supposedly talking to the techs in Korea about it.

Maybe solved!

Don't know if this is going to help, but I had the problem (as I described) red S/W Upgrading and couldn't do anything. Well, after about two weeks of sitting with the battery out, I decided to redownload and rerun the Pantech update app, and lo and behold, it fixed my phone. It also installed a more up to date version of Android 4.0, I went from 4.01 to 4.04.
This is after running the updater a good 30 or so times the past two weeks hoping for anything to work, now today, bam, it works fine.
I would recommend anyone in this situation give the most recent updater a try, it may solve your problem.

Bricked Pantech Burst Stuck in S/W Downloading Mode and completely wiped ...
Ok I am having a similar issue guys. Last night I had to wipe my phone because it was overly full and I switched providers and the phone had become unusable. I tried using clockworkmod to do this and it wiped everything ( including clockworkmod. ) Now I only get a S/W Upgrading screen with a red box. I tried using the pantech download tool and the PANTECH_PRESTO_BIN_JUUS03122012.pdl file. It did appear that it was installing it but then it became stuck at the very very very end of things. I basically had to take the battery out to do anything at all as I had left the phone on all night to download the pdl file but without any luck.
When I reboot the phone it had the S/W Upgrading mode with the red screen. I've tried all of the different key combinations on the pantech burst etc volume up + volume down and power, volume down + power, volume up + power. None of these things will reboot the phone.
I am hoping I can use the pantech download tool to install a different pdl instead and possibly get it working that way. I know that when the phone is off if I plug it into usb then the screen lights up on it with the S/W Upgrading screen and the red box. If I press the power button or any other combinations of buttons + the power button it also does this. It literally will not do anything else.
I cannot use pantech pc suite because the phone originally was so unusable I could not put the android apk file on the phone even though I have it on my laptop.
I tried using adb and fastboot and it will not even find my device through ANY usb port on the laptop. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the drivers over and over. The only thing I know to do is reboot afterward and hopefully it will find my phone on usb with adb. If I can just get to a bootloader or flash functional firmware onto this phone I think I could get it working but I do not know enough about the pantech burst to try physically jumping anything on it in order to hard reset it.
So my only options right now look like maybe get a different pdl, possibly reboot and the drivers may find my phone, or JTAG this thing.
I can't put it in usb debugging mode because it won't boot. Since adb does not even find the device as being attached it seems as if this phone should be operating in a different port mode or something to make it visible. I could be wrong but I am hoping that rebooting fixes the driver issue and makes the phone visible.
I tried PDAnet also and once again it does not work because it cannot find the device. This could be a usb cable issue I suppose but I only have this particular cable I am pretty sure
I might try another cable as well...
Any other ideas ? Am I going to have to JTAG this thing or should it be fixable using the download tool and a different pdl ? Or do I need to find another way to completely wipe the phone first and THEN use the download tool with the pdl file ?
It does get a bit confusing with so many mods, roms, and methods to recover android phones. If I can get the phone to boot then I can reload my backups and all should be well. I do need this phone for business purposes also. Any ideas guys ?
PS> I am also pretty decent with linux distros like arch or ubuntu so I would like to also know if it would just be better to do this in linux and possibly use linux to manually switch the phone to a different device mode to make it visible in the instance of there being nothing wrong with the drivers.
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions ...

UPDATE - progress ???

OK quick update, I found the pantech burst upgrade tool and the burst-hack.cmd script
I managed to successfully find my phone with the upgrade tool and it completely ran its course and I am guessing it installed Ice Cream Sandwich.
My new problem is that the phone goes to the pantech logo boot screen if I plug the phone into usb but that is all it will do. If I unplug the phone and try to get into S/W Upgrade mode again or power it on it will not do anything at all. Basically the display only comes on when plugged in at this point so I am wondering if the battery is even charged or if it will charge. I read somewhere ( in the gizmolord forum ) that a guy had the same issue as me and he ran this tool for his pantech burst and then left the battery out for 2 weeks and tried to power it back on and it worked for him.
Is it possible that I just need to power the device down completely and let it completely discharge before it will reboot or is this thing bricked ?
I am thinking that either the battery needs to charge, or the phone needs to discharge and power down completely, or the phone could be bricked. I have a feeling it is not bricked because the update tool said everything was successful and no errors or anything.
I will try leaving the battery out for awhile and letting the phone discharge on its own and see what kind of results I get. I would think that 16 - 24 hours would be sufficient. Any ideas ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so I did a bit more digging and research and found out that the culprit is most likely the poorly designed charging circuit in the pantech phones. I found a tech blog called Mikes Techblog where he shows how to solve this on a pantech jest phone with the same issue. The problem is that the battery is 3.7v and is currently reading 2.8v on the volt meter. The phone will not even attempt to charge until 3.7v is available on the battery because of how the charge circuit is designed. I am going to try the usb cable trick and usb adapter and see if I can monitor its progress with the voltmeter and get it back up to 3.7 volts. After this it should allow me to charge it normally and should boot just fine. It is showing the pantech logo which tells me that the firmware is there and isn't buzzing or doing anything else weird so more than likely this is related to the battery and not having enough of a charge when running the official upgrade tool. This problem probably had already existed prior running the update tool and is why the S/W Upgrading screen only would come up AFTER being plugged into a power source and would disappear immediately. If the battery had any charge whatsoever and if the phone could see it then I would see a screen that tells me to plug my phone in and charge it. I am thinking this is solved but will only know after I charge the battery. From what I've been reading in comments from others the battery issue is prevalent on many different pantech phones including the burst model. Other people with the pantech burst have said in comments on Mike's blog that this made their phone boot right up and said that this was EXACTLY the issue. Perhaps the best way to use these pantech phones is to never ever let them fully discharge the battery.

[Q] In a Bit of a Predicament with Nexus S 4G; is it possible to fix?

So like the genius that I am, I decided to mess with my Nexus S 4G. Right now, my PC will not detect my phone at all (won't show up at ALL, in my Device Manager or any toolkit that I've tried). Please note I had little experience and will probably look like a complete idiot, but bare with me.
So the steps I took were as followed (my phone came already unlocked)
1.) I first installed PDANet to get my computer to recognize my phone and install the right drivers
2.) After that, I flashed the latest, stable clockwork recovery mod
3.) Then, I downloaded the Hellybean ROM and installed it via clockwork recovery mod, with no problems
4.) I downloaded the Google Apps archive and dropped it onto my sdcard
5.) I then installed the google apps zip and then it all went down hill from then
Every time I turned on my phone, the nice Cyanogen mod logo popped up, and then once it was done booting up, it popped up with two error messages:
Code:
Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
Unfortunately, SetUp wizard has stopped.
Both of these error messages will not stop popping up and my phone is currently useless at this stage.
So, I went back into fastboot mode, and tried to fix it with these steps:
1.) I downloaded the "Factory Image "sojua" for Nexus S (850MHz version, i9020a)" images, and followed the instructions on this thread
2.) Once I flashed the bootloader image, my PC no longer detected my phone. It won't show up on my device manages (not even as an unrecognized Android 1.0 phone)
I installed the bootloader image because it was apart of the tutorial on how to do a complete factory reset, I now know that was stupid and not necessary.
So, you can obviously see I didn't know what I was doing, and what I did was quite stupid and careless. So unless you have any suggestions or want to help me, please do not patronize me, I am already mad enough at myself.
With that said, I am unable to even flash anything to my phone anymore, and I don't know what I can do. I tried using Wug's Nexus Toolkit to try and install the drivers, but it won't detect anything. On top of that, I am not sure if I have even flashed the correct bootloader image. Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Good luck. Flashed a sojua stock ROM on a sojus phone, bootloader and all. I don't know if you'll ever be able to fix this. :|

If you can put it into download mode you might be able to use Odin with a factory image to bring it back to life.

Make sure your cable is connected when you try to put your phone in download mode. Turn off the phone, then hold both volume + and -, and press power. Continue holding volume buttons until you see download mode.

Help Just Soft Bricked New Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G SGH-T769

I followed this links w.mobilescommunity.com/android-tips-tutorial/208463-how-root-samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g.html[/url] instructions to a "T" and when the phone came back on it stops at the welcome screen no matter what. I tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery per these instructions /theunlockr.com/2012/04/17/how-to-root-and-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-blaze-4g/[/url] and it seemed to work as I get the OMR mode when I try to get the download screen without having it already cable connected to the PC. When I have it connected to the PC I am able to get to the "Download" mode. OI! I never have had a problem rooting before. The stock OS ICS 4.0.4 was on it and I bought it new from T-Mobile and then it did the OTA update a week ago. I have had nothing on it other than stock and a few camera apps. I have already tried to return it to OEM with the OMR recovery but its still the same, always booting to the welcome screen. When I try to get it into a mode, ether the recovery mode or the download mode, it sometimes vibrates several times and then "May" go into one or the other depending if its cable tethered or not. HELP PLEASE, I disabled and this is my only outside contact short of coming into town to use the Internet at a cafe. Thanks, Jeff

----- Did you ever get your Blaze fixed?....

pretty much the same problem i have!!! i currently have the samsung galaxy s blaze and rooted it to the custom rom from konane using the odis program, it said passed and auto rebooted my phone, but when it gets to the home screen where you touch the android to set up your phone like its brand new, when i hit the android bot all that happens is a message force closing a bunch of apps appear. i can get to the download mode to install new roms and i've tried to re root back to the stock rom but now my computer doesnt recognize my phone. i've downloaded and installed the samsung drivers from several different forums including the ones recommended here but still nothing. what im wondering is if theres a way to install the rom or driver from an sd card to the phone or something else that im missing, or is my phone just screwed? any and all help is greatly appreciated.

[Q] Ok so my device is not quite dead but close please help

Hi Everyone,
I've come on bended knee, and I have about 30 xda windows up where Ive tried to upgrade a perfectly working LG from android 2.2. But no matter what I try I cant get beyond the LG wink icon on the screen.
I have tried fastboot omao4boot 1.22 modified etc but I cant get past MLO (x-loader) I say YES to this but NO to 'fastboot devises' as per instructions (although why I say no to this, I dont know?) anyway it just says 'waiting for device' but nothing happens even if I take the battery out and disconnect from USB and reconnect, nothing ever happens?
So having redone the fastboot procedure, I managed to into boot mode - yellow round icon on screen and then tried to flash using LG flash tool 1.2 with LGP920 30A bin & fls files which it does and completes successfully, I have also used the LG recovery tool to flash recovery and firmware but all of the above wont let me boot the devise it just sits at the LG Icon.
Tried booting into recovery with 3d + vol + key but just ignores and goes to red LG Icon with the usual boot sound, I just cant get anything else to work! Is it down to the MLO loader issue. I dont know what else to do.
Please can anyone help me recover my phone I wanted to upgrade to JellycreamR5 cause its suppose to be a good rom but nothing now works :crying:
I know its not a busy forum now days and most have moved on, but please any assistance to get this beautiful phone going again would be brilliant.
Thanks for the time to read about this dilemma!
ATB

Ok, so if it boots to the LG logo with boot sound it is probably nothing wrong with bootloaders. It is either the system or just something incompatible on the data partition. Of you can make it too recovery try factory reset

Ok I think Ive fixed it!
Did lots of things to try to get to work, but heres roughly the guide.
Used 'rebooter' for Optimus 3d which saved the phone in the 1st instance, it was the only flasher that completed the flash... but remember 1st unplug the phone but micro usb in then remove the battery, then hold the + vol key and insert into the Win XP computer usb, I had already prepared and ran the rebooter.bat file which was waiting for omao device. Once detected keep hold the + key add battery when it says wait 5 secs, dont let the key go, say NO to flash boot but yes to the rest. It will say job done or words to that effect.
Turn on phone holding just the + key to get into download mode. Change the LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT to com41 in control panel device manager, refresh search for new hardware to check updated port.
Then use LG Flash to flash V3.0A which worked !
Disconnect the phone remove battery and reinsert, reboot devise, it will boot in TWRP which isnt great but good enough for flash, loaded a Rom onto the sd card and installed the software, after the usual clearing everything like Delvick/Settings etc.
Job done, rebooted and worked, still got TRWP on the boot loading would prefer Clockwork but never mind, had enough of fiddling and just enjoying having my device back
Havent tried a sim in it but might have to to the IMEI fix but hoping not.
Many thanks for your input, I know tech moves on, but there is a wealth on knowledge on these devices and it just seems to be lost in the ether.
Best wishes.

I completely wiped my phone's hard drive; help?

I messed up and now I can't get my Lg G6 US99715 to work.
First, I messed up by accidentally using twrp to uninstall the OS while I was trying to do a system update (I wasn't the one who put TWRP on my phone, it was a hand-me-down). Next I screwed up further by removing twrp from the phone using my PC. At this point things were looking pretty bad but I figured that, since I can open it up and see the empty storage, maybe I could reinstall everything and start from scratch. While in the process of trying to do that I somehow ended up in a boot loop. I've tried holding down the power + vol up + vol down but that only results in the boot loop starting over. I've tried every combination of buttons held and released at every step of the boot loop and nothing seems to change. I can't even get the phone to turn off. Since my pc no longer recognized when the phone is plugged in, I feel like I'm pretty much out of options.
I know this is kind of a long shot but do any of you have any suggestions on how I might fix this? I really don't think I can afford a new phone right now so I'm kind of desperate to fix this somehow.
Thanks in advance.

Don't quote me on anything because I may be completely wrong. Try re downloading samsung USB drivers. I know that when I root my devices using TWRP, a brand new installation of the OS is installed. It might be worth searching tutorials regarding how to install android via TWRP. You could also visit sammobile.com and download the android files for your phone and then use ODIN to transfer those files to your phone.
