Root [Recovery][Root]Pantech Breakout Root & CWM Recovery All in One

OK I'm new at this and need help, sorry if my questions have already been asked.
I have the Breakout 2.3.3 and tried using the Breakout all in one root and it says it doesn't recognize my device, did i do something wrong?
I don't have the internet on my computer, just phone, and have to transfer everything via USB. So I transfer root files to computer and run from there with the phone hooked up right? Where do the files go after I transfer to the computer , I mean where do I run it from.Also do I need to extract the files?
Thanks to anyone that can help!

It sounds like a) the drivers are not installed b) usb debugging is not enabled or c) it's not in mass storage mode.

I am very grateful for mtmichaelson's efforts. I am trying to get to the point of installing the Broken Out ROM, but I'm having a heck of a time getting into clockworkmod so I can install root. What drives me nuts is that I got in once, but I did not have the root files copied over yet. So I made my backup while I was there, rebooted the phone, and only could get into the stock loader. Every time I try to install clockwork again, I get the following errors:


Installing Recovery
Press any key to continue . .
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Finished!!!
Press any key to continue . . .


I even installed the Google Android SDK and set the variable settings. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: When I get past the above message, then I get what others are getting:
Flashing CWM Recovery
Tool and Recovery Built by mtmichaelson
Installing Recovery
Press any key to continue . . .
error: device not found
< waiting for device >

It never responds from there.

Tried disabling and enabling debugging on the phone, now I get this response:

Flashing CWM Recovery
Tool and Recovery Built by mtmichaelson
Installing Recovery
Press any key to continue . . .
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: more than one device and emulator
< waiting for device >

Final Update:
OK, somehow I got it CWM to install and stick this time - what a finicky device! Uninstalling the Android SDK and used my USB 2.0 port as opposed to my USB 3.0 port was the only difference. I did get this error too before it worked:

Installing recovery
Press any key to continue...
* daemon not started, starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
< waiting for device>

After CWM stuck, Rooting, Backing up apps with Titanium, and installing Broken Out ROM 1.1 went smooth as silk. What a great ROM. No bloat at all. Selecting Wallpapers created an FC, but the user I was helping like a picture of her kids from the Gallery anyway. Thanks mtmichaelson! Looking forward to future releases of this ROM, as I recommended the Pantech to a few other friends who I know who will be coming to me with the same space issue.

I have been having trouble with the process of installing CWM recovery in that whenever I start the batch file, it reboots my phone into fastboot as it should and says [waiting for device]. I have the proper fastboot drivers installed but my phone is already rooted. I used Superoneclick 2.2 to root it and it was a success. I also have usb mass storage and usb debugging on. What could be the problem?

Ok, I'm new to rooting. It took a factory reboot before I could get started, but now my breakout is rooted, or at least it looked like it. Saw your script working and finishing. Rebooted, and all the crapware is still there and I can't delete it. Did my root fail? Is there something I'm missing?

JMillerSki,

Just rooting your phone alone will not remove the crapware nor will it give you the ability to remove the crapware through the normal channel (IE. Applicatoins Manager). One App that's almost a necessity for rooted phones is Titanium Backup. This app is powerful, it will give you the ability to back up all of your applications and delete the crapware.

You can also install this ROM http://androidforums.com/breakout-all-things-root/492649-rom-2-4-12-broken-out-rom-1-1-a.html. It does not have the crapware.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but no matter what I do I can't get this root or any others to work on my Breakout. It will get to sending recovery and the phone saying android development and fast boot, but then nothing, just sits there.Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanx

Make sure the fastboot drivers are installed.

Ok maybe this is part of my problem, that I don't have the right stuff installed. Are the boot drivers included in the allinone? This is my 2nd go around after giving up awhile ago and I don't exactly remember everything I had installed, I deleted everything and stared over.

Yes, the driver that worked for me is included.

I'm on the step after running RecoveryAIO.bat, and the computer screen says sending 'recovery' (4908 KB)...

How long should this take? I have been waiting for awhile. If I unplug the USB cable and reboot the phone I get the android with with the exclamation mark. If I press the info button, I can choose install update and choose the root zip file, but then I get an installation aborted error.

BTW, my computer reboots itself if I unplug the USB cable while it says sending 'recovery.'
