Hi,

My burst is on stock ics and rooted with cwm5.0.2.7 installed. Is GBboot.zip going to work? Since it is labeled GB, I am not sure if working with ICS. I do not want to go back to stock GB due to phone already unlocked.

Thanks,

yes it will work. Even I unlocked mine on ics. And don't fear of the at&t lock. Search in the to search box how to unlock Pantech burst . And moreover that GB reperesents something else.

Only thing i did was flash that zip in cwm 5.0.2.7 and rebooted and now i cant boot into recovery or s/w download. I've spent yesterday searching these forums for an answer but like you pointed out i seem to be the only one this happened too. I tried to re flash the stock rom but my pc will not recognize my phone. If i have to chalk it up as a lose then i will but i would like to see if i can fix it before throwing in the towel. Thank you for a quick reply :)>-

@dodgerdog1978 , have you been able to resolve this issue.Even I am also facing the same problem.

After flashing Gizmolord V 2.0 B in cwm 5.0.2.7 and rebooting the phone it just shows the pantech logo when connected through the USB cable.It is not even being recognized by the computer,can't get access to recovery mode or d/w mode.

Guys, Could you please help me to overcome this issue.

@johndoe104102...No luck yet for my problem and i still dont know how it happened but oh well thats the risk we take when flashing our phones. Im using my business phone until i can find a way to fix my phone. i cant reflash anything since i no longer have access into cwm or s/w download mode. Im still hoping someone will read this and help find a way to bring my brick back to life or allow for me to restore the back up i made before the flash. If i hear anything i will let you know. Thank you all for your advice but like i posted im no longer able to access my phone even in adb terminal.

I am not able to go to recovery.When i press the vol- and power buttons it doesn't take me anywhere and shows only the blank screen.

Pressing the vol+ and power buttons as well as vol+,vol- and power buttons simultaneously it's just showing the blank screen.

When i connect the phone to the computer using usb cable the pantech logo is displayed on the phone's screen.The computer doesn't even recognize the phone when it's connected to it,so couldn't do anything with adb also.

After using the 3rd command in the section for those of us without CWM the first two commands run fine but third just sits on "<waiting for device>"

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks

Driver issues mate :) Nothing else . You need to jiggle around to get it work . There is no perfect tut for everyone . Follow this first BTW it should solve the problem :D

Did you flash the Gbboot zip on CWM 5 or CWM 6?

I just got my bootloader unlocked. I wonder if it is unlocked or not. When I selected 'YES' to install GBboot zip,it got installed in just a second. Is it a normal time it takes to install?

yups . It gets installed in seconds . Its totally normal bro :) . You can proceed to flash roms now , if you like to :D
