So I know I most likely have to wait awhile for the breakout to be rooted. I was just wondering if any of the developers on this site where actually looking at doing it as we speak? I have tried using other methods currently out there to see and no luck so far.
Just got mine. Looking to root too.
I have also tried many different root methods none of which have proved successful. I recently had to upgrade from a droid incredible.i also have the Asus transformer which is the financial reason I had to settle with the Pantech. With the upgrade I lost my free tethering ability, I am now back to the Incredible until I can figure out how to root the Pantech. If anybody has some knight please let me know thanks.
not sure if this will help but I posted the breakout system dump here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18211013#post18211013
I also found how to get into recovery by powerng off then holding power and the search button while powering on. However I am still unable to root. Maybe I am not understanding what the system dump is.
A system dump is when a dev gets the phone to copy the entire Android OS to the computer sort of like a dump truck dumping it's content into a hole you made (in layman's terms). This allows the devs unfettered and unrestricted access to the core of the phone's software components which they use to find a flaw in the system that allows the phone to be rooted. That's step one.
Step 2 is after the phone's OS has been rooted is to use that to gain access to the phone's boot loader and install a 3rd party recovery (like clockwork) that will show up when you press the power button + the search button. Right now you only get the stock Pantech bootloader area which does nothing unless you have the Pantech stock firmware and a special software verification key. You have neither.
Step 3 is then using the stock firmware dump to create custom, flashable ROM's which you can then flash using the 3rd party recovery software.
We're well into step one with the system dump. I'm gonna grab it and see what exactly they did to stop Gingerbreak.
Thanks for the information D.. I am going crazy I had just bought my Asus transformer so did not have enough money to buy the Bionic. Verizon initially told me i would be able to use the Pantech for unlimited tethering since I had a grandfathered plan now they told me it would be 30$ for 2gb a month. I am in desperate need to root the Breakout if anybody has any insight it would be much appreciated
[Q] How to root a pantech breakout
Is there a way to root a pantech breakout yet? I have tried superonclick, gingerbreak, and z4mod with no luck & I am running android os v 2.3.3 gingerbreaed.
Not yet, from what I've seen. And I'm with ya, tried all the current rooters. But looks like Google patched something in the 2.3.3 release that blocks the current methods. Hopefully someone will find something soon (wish I knew enough about programming). This is an awesome little phone, and with a little root and customization, will be amazing.

have you tried the wifi hotspot app on market? It works for the breakout and u don't neeed to signup for mobile hotspot.
I am unable to find any apps that support wifi tethering on the Breakout. I have tried many including barnacle, pdanet, and more all to no avail. The only way I am able to use the Breakout as a hotspot is by using the preinstalled verizon app. I am currently on an ulimited everything plan and have been given a month free tethering. however, I am being told that I have a 2gb monthly limit and will be charged for any overages even with the "free" month. It was my understanding that having an unlimited data/web plan that tethering would follow suite, guess not. If anybody can offer some advice it would be greatly appreciated.
getting my breakout tomorrow...hopefully someone figures out how to root this thing!
tethering app
I found the tethering app that works for the Pantech Breakout. It works as a widget instead of an actual app but it goes off your unlimited data plan and it doesnn't require root. It is called tethering widget by HI-DEVELOP XD
Is there any way to upgrade ma os version to 2.3 .......???

People are saying that because it has a locked bootloader, but that hasn't stopped Devs on other phones, so I am holding out hope for our Pantechs!
it's pretty unrootable(at the moment)
i had my breakout since it was released and have tried various methods to root it.
I even bricked mine while trying a method i was pretty sure would unlock the bootloader.so (for now) it is not rootable.

Sorry for the what seems like a basic question but didn't find this in my search of the forums.
I have a non-rooted Evo (that unfortunately I am not allowed to root). Anyone know of a way to use something similar to PDANet to tether to the gtablet?
I would think there would be some way to get this done but am not having luck finding it.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?
Is there really no way to do this? Arg!
if pda net won't work for you and you are on verizon wireless.....you can pay the 20$ a month to use their service........I'm curious,why can't you root?

Shared phone at this point. I can run PDAnet on the phone....there is no client program that I know of to run on android tho for the tab to point the network over the USB to go to the phone.
Its an Evo....so I'm on Sprint.
Thanks for trying.
I think Tether.com has an android program now. Always worked great on my blackberry. Not sure if it will wifi tether or need program on the receiving device though.
Simple answer is root your phone and use Wifi Tether.

Thanks. Rooting is out for me on this phone so oh well.
Looked at this...this works same as PDAnet....an android app is there to share the 4G signal on that device but it assumes you are tethering to a PC or a MAC and has executables for those OS's assuming you are linking to a laptop.
In this case I was trying to link an android to an android. I'll keep looking.

Rooting does nothing to the phone that affects how it works. using a custom ROM does.
I have a HTC Droid Incredible, rooting does nothing to the user experience. But rooting does allow for using ROMs.
Well it makes no difference. I can't install a custom ROM and I believe I have to root to do that. This wasn't particularly helpful.
I don't believe there is a way to tether android to android without being able to manipulate non-userspace (aka superuser access). I'll do some footwork for you, but to my knowledge I don't believe you can. I wish I could be more helpful.
I've been scouring all the resources I could find.i can't find any way for you to do this.....sorry.....
What about a soft root? That is a method of rooting that is not permanent, and will go away every time you reboot your phone. Would that be something you could do?

Thanks to everyone for their assistance. I spent a couple days looking around but never found anything either. Thanks for taking your time to help.
I find it hard to believe this hasn't been done. Wish I knew how to program....
So I have heard rumors you can bluetooth tether to a android phone. But I am not sure how it works.
Please let me know if find anything. I have been trying to find a way to do this as well.

Still looking. PDAnet can run the bluetooth connection on the phone side but I haven't found an app that runs on the gtablet side to route the traffic over the bluetooth connection (or USB if I could find that as well).
I found a bunch of people who have Xoons that were able to do it but apparently it has an option built in to allow tethering over BT (they get a little wrench that pops up once the devices pair). I have found nothing like this in ours.
I'm also trying to find out how to soft root my Evo as I don't want to run Unrevoked but I'm not having luck there either.
Is it the warranty your worried about breaking by rooting? If so I can understand. But I think you may be confusing rooting with installing a custom rom. You don't have to do that. There is no change in the phone except an app in your drawer called super user. Use universal androot apk or z4root and then use the barnacle teathering app from the market. Its connected my PC, Mac, winmo phone, Gtab and Xbox 360 to my phone.
There is a "hack" that works with the Droid X. I don't know if it works with other android phones, but I saw it a while ago on androidforums.com. do a search in the droidx sections.
I am only reposting this because I know a lot of people have been talking about wanting this feature. Here is the link to the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140681
If I am "Late to the party" or you want to post the funny fail pictures, that is fine! I just felt this was worth posting. I did not know about it and I am sure others may not as well.
Basically the link talks about using a program called PDAnet Tablet edition. I was familiar with PDAnet but not a wifi version!
We need to stay way under the radar with this, guys.
I'm sure their not crazy about HTC unlocking the bootloader because of this.
Sprint is cracking down....monitoring data use and even sites visited.
Abuse here could be a big factor if Sprint throws up their hands and decides to cap data...which would S U C K.
I've had Bluetooth tether via PDAnet since my Treo 650 many years ago. Maybe I'm the only one but on all the phones I've had since then, I have ALWAYS found Bluetooth tether to be very tricky to set up, cumbersome and unreliable compared to the WiFi tether I FINALLY have on the EVO 4G. I presume the same would apply to the 3D. This is the main reason I haven't made the 4G --> 3D upgrade yet. So for me personally the Bluetooth tether option isn't that grand.
Hijack: does anyone else find it confusing that the 3D phone is newer than the 4G? I have to keep reminding myself...

It's the people who want to download blu ray movies through their phones connection and large files that bog down the network that Sprint doesn't like. You use 30GB+ a month or more and you are certainly going to have some kind of attention. I only use around 4GB and that was with root access on my previous phone. Though I didn't have 4g to tether from on my Epic. I would have much rather used my home network. Saving money is great, but it really affects others so negatively that Sprint may take action at some point if people don't start thinking more about the greater good than their must have for the newest MKV movie from btjunkie. Though I could be wrong.
True this...exactly. regardless...we're still circumventing their hotspot service. Knowing how much my AT&T friends are truly shackled by the cap...I'd consider paying sprint for tethering again!

can i get a clarification of what i should be installing? an apk maybe?
Just search pdanet tablet in the market. Download to tablet as well as phone.
just tried and on my archos 101 it kept telling me to do step 1 even after i completed it
Useing pdanet tablet now....from evo 3d to rooted gtablet runing cm7....a little slow but does work for browsing...does not work for pandora will check netflix and dishnetwork and get back.....ok does not work with anything but browsing.....cant wait for root....
I know this is a stupid question. But, I have to ask just in case there is something out there that I might not know about.
I also know by now that root after the OTA is not possible (I will not play with JTAG).
I still have the unlimited data plan, and I'd like to take advantage of it. If anyone knows of a software, paid or not, that will allow me to tether, hotspot, I'd greatly appreciate.
Thanks. :cyclops:
Its usb tether only (not WiFi) but easy tether doesn't require root....its a bit expensive but its what I use
Had to buy it awhile back when I was stuck s-on with my inc2
There's also PDAnet (tether only, not Wi-Fi)... I'm using it currently since my replacement phone came with the OTA and I'm stuck being a commoner lol

Clockwork Tether. USB only, cost $5 for unlimited use or has a few hundred MB daily limit. You will be breaking your TOS if you care about such things.

I'm still lost on how my toyota is doing wireless tether on stock rom. It has to be a previously granted permission from verizon to toyota.
So, USB is the only way for now eh?
Ok. I guess that will have to do.
So, if I was to make it to a hotspot, I now have to connect to my laptop (via USB) and then make my laptop to ad hoc?
Hmmm... this would be problematic since my tablet does not do ad hoc, unless I root it also...
Any input would be appreciated.

FoxFi works great! They recently updated it to work on the OTA DNA and I use it everyday. There are caveats, you will have to use a passcode because of the certificate and I can't use a widget to turn it but both are acceptable to me. Let me know if you have any questions.
FoxFi seems to do the trick!

I was actually just coming in to let everyone know about this also! It seems like the free download working well, although the cap on the MB usage on the free one is very tiny - watch a YouTube for 15 min, you're capped.
It also seems like it really works the phone, the battery level drops very fast and the phone gets hot. I know i should expect this, but a bit too much to not wonder if it's not detrimental to the phone.

I don't know what this means. your Toyota connects to your phone via Bluetooth. Unless you are saying that you are surfing the web with your Toyota, please clarify.
Foxfi initializes the stock tethering app without root. It requires you to install a security certificate that requires you to have a lock screen password.

Hello,
I've just about pulled my hair out over this. What is the easiest way to get wifi tethering unlocked and unrestricted? I've tried hacks, mods, flashing ROMs with this mod baked in yet when i check my tethering usage it's still ticking upwards rapidly.
Please, can anyone help me with this? Thank you very much
Bump. Anyone?
I find that using pdanet+ to usb tether is the most effective way of data tethering at this point. Tmobile have really cracked down on unauthorized wifi tether, at least down here in TX. I'm constantly being throttled as soon as I turn on WiFi tether. User agent doesn't help either.

I use EasyTether+
The free version is pretty good, but restricts you from using https secured websites (like Gmail.com). For $10 you can get the full version; unfortunately it's only for PC, since the host is USB or Bluetooth only, and they only have a PC client.
I bought it with Play store credits via the Google Opinion Rewards app (so, for free), but it may be worth considering if you want to sidestep tethering restrictions and are linking with a PC. At least try the free version first to see if you like it; it seems to work for me pretty well, and doesn't make my phone get too hot.
Disclaimer: My GS5 is still in the mail (don't have it yet; just browsing the forums to get my bearings). My experience with EasyTether+ is on a LG G2, but it's still T-mobile so I doubt anything network-wise is different.
Bump, did you get the s5 yet? Does it work?
Anyone knows any fixes?
Any help on rooting this phone would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just to tell me that it's not going to happen...
I've scoured the forums trying to find some info on rooting my LG Premier Pro LTE (LML414DL) from straight talk. I know the chances get pretty slim with cheap phones that don't have a removable battery but I saw a few sites with info for the Lml413dl (not sure if the root for this one will work because of the radio) which is the same phone with a few minor changes as far as I can tell but I don't know if there is really any support for rooting this phone.
I know it's a low end phone but it's all I can get at the moment. I'm going to try to get at least an LG Stylo 4 (Preferably a lower priced Xiaomi or Honor) in a couple of weeks but I would still like to be able to do something productive with this device because of the severe limitations of an Unrooted device. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
I am looking for the same thing. I have tried a lot of different root methods and so far nada.
