Any moderators watching this threads?

Hello Moderators,
People are posting their roms here which are not doing what they are supposed to do, but the page where one dodwnloads the roms remains the same without any update on what is working and what is not.Can anything be done about it?

lol maybe if they could tell what you were asking.
Edit: I get it.. Are you seriously *****ing bout devs who take there personal time to post ROMs but not always update their main page?

I think he is talking about the WIKI pages and if that is the case then to the OP you need to understand how this works
1. a dev posts a rom they cooked in a new thread
2. it is up to us as a community to update the WIKI not the moderators
if the rom is a popular one then it is going to stay at the top of the treads deal with it.
edit: nope you are right Tipharet I read it worng. rukshmani you need to deal with it and read the treads that these roms have before you flash them anyways becuase if you dont then you end up asking questions that have been asked 200 times before. please stop complaing about these great people taking time from their lives and families to make our experience better.

Well, just read through the posts and you will no what is working or not working. It really is as easy as that.

Updating the first post to a ROM release is the responsibility of the developer of that rom. Not the job of the moderators.
If you think a rom needs to have it's post updated, why don't you PM the developer yourself. If you were instead referring to the sticky-wiki for tracking roms, you aare as free to update/edit that as any one of us are.
Not, trying to sound rude, but it is difficult to understand what EXACTLY it is that you are asking for.

Its okay if apps2sd and other stuff are not working. But update the first page, where people download. That page still says app2sd working.

This is what this about. He downloaded DarchLegend and couldnt get his app2sd to work. And then started this thread. Although its clearly working for someone else.

seriously I try not to flame people but apps2sd is a perk on a rom not a requirement! stop trying to get a moderator involved because you dont want to do the work little bit of work that might need to be done to get something to work that YOU want.
if I didnt think it would get me susspended I would pull a page from gbhils book and post a rediculiously inapropriate image to get this thread closed down.
edit: not directed at you gomorrah I forgot that what you quoted doesnt show when I quote you.

Developers cannot sit at their computers 24/7 watching to make sure every developer updates his OP timely... u have to realize two things. One these guys developing roms 99% of them have real world jobs and families which take 99% of their time. Two, this would take time away from the mods real job which is to warn and ban offenders of the forum rules. This is not part of a mod's day to day task. Now if a developer is posting bs roms that r bricking everyones' phones that have downloaded them then yes at that point a mod would have to get involved but that has never happened to my knowledge on this site. Sorry dude but just b/c everyone else on this forum has the same phone as u doesn't mean that it will accept new rom flashes/modifications the same as someone elses. Any slight variance is settings from urs to the next guys could plunder a rom flash attempt. Do ur homework before messing with ur phone. Tons of others have had no problems so obviously they did something right. Most of all every developer always puts " Not responsible for what happens to ur phone by flashing this software" It's completely ur risk.

i see link is not being updated.. and other link is being updated.. two links active and same rom download pages.. Maybe, he clicked one of those that is not being updated and got confused.

man this whole cdma hero thread has gone downhill this week. one guy posting warez, another whining bout devs. at least theres no donation warz lol

Yep and now theres another guy that just posted on how to get free service. What is going on here?
My theory still holds I think. People are so desperately wanting 2.1 ( not even really knowing why) and it seems to be making ppl irrational to say the least...lol
Yeah and I was hoping the op wasnt actually *****ing bout what I translated. You would assume that most people know not all devices and software run the same on 100% of devices.

who knows... to a certain degree forums should be a priveledge not a right...
too bad we couldn't create a "pay for membership" forum where all the members control the other members, threads, guidelines, etc.
a self-moderating group of like minded people that understand the guidelines and follow them. if you could be banned with no refund, i'm sure people would be ready to follow rules, not give opinions where none were asked for or any of the other atrocities i've seen on this site since i joined just a few weeks ago.
i sometimes wonder why there aren't "etiquette moderators" that enforce common forum etiquette. i find that too often one wrong post can start 6 pages of useless banter eventually rendering the thread a personal vendetta against one person, vs the etiquette moderator simply dealing with the issue and not allowing good threads to go to thread hell.
i can dream right?

My opinion, Android is just so seemless and appealing to everyone, not just tweakers. So what we are seeing is more folks that havent been in forums like these and understand what is right and wrong. When little petey goes to the sprint store and sees the TP2 with winmo, plays with it and says "This is just to hard for me." he then picks up the Hero and says "Wow, this phone is more asthetically appealing and much easier to use.". Hence why we now have to deal with a much lower intellect of members because quite simply, Android is a great OS.

Oh my God, I can't even believe this thread exists. I'm moving to AndroidCentral.

Rogers HTC Magic plus

this is the info for HTC Magic Plus.....the one that came with rogers new 911 update. and also abut 150mb of ram/memory.
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP-ON H
HBOOT 1.75.0010 (SAPP5000)
CPLD-12
RADIO 6.35.10.18
JAN 14, 2010, 00:14:58
I CANT SEEM TO YET AN ANSWER THAT IS NOT GAY.
to the devs that work with the HTC Magic.....is this rootable, and is someone here working on it, or know of ne one else working on it?

one point seven FIVE? are you sure? most of us are on 1.76 right now
and whats so special about the magic plus? ..i have a 32a board with more than 150mb of ram. this sounds made up..

Nothing is special about the magic plus. Where did he mention anything about this magic plus being special? It's lame. He obviously made a mistake with the 1.75, don't know how it sounds made up. Sounds just about right.
If you did some reading, you'd know it's not rootable

Care to elaborate?

I could have written that down wrong ill double check later. And i call it a plus because I read that new Rogers HTC magics that came out, that had the new 911 update and sense UI, was called that.
And I can't get a "straight" answer. If I offended I apologize sincerely.
Also. If you go to, setting/application/manage applications, then find "htc sense"....clear the defaults and then push the home button. Two things will come up. "home" and "htc send". Home will make it look like 1.5. Not sure how this will work on. other firmwares

Magic+ is what rogers calls the 32A. Nothing new here, move along.

who cares.....its a ****ing name. HTC magic plus is the 32a model. Tell me something i don't know
No I don't want move on. I want to f*** root this son of a b***.
Now, the hboot is 1.75.0010 and the radio is 6.35.10.18
How can I root it. Which method.
THAT IS THE ONLY THING I WANT ANSWERED. IT'S ALL ABOUT ROOT.

In anycase, you cannot root it. Reading around through wikis and forums.. That type of jazzy spl + radio combo cannot be rooted. Unfortunately.

Ever???
And why is that funny

Because if you could read at all you would know that the rogers htc phones with the update can't be rooted yet, answer to gay for you?
I could just say yes it's rootable, would that be less gay? it's what you want to hear.

the sweetest thing a child can do is put a smile on your face.....
thanks.

Yes, I thank you for making me smile.

can a mod sticky this thread please?
its to hilarious for it to disappear

First of all kid, I am not required to answer your question.
Secondly, with an attitude like that you won't get anybody on here that will.
Third, I responded to BOTH of your posts, but because you broke forum rules, it wasn't how you wanted it to be answered.
Fourth, you need to give to receive around here. You gave us no information about what kind of device your "cuzin" has. So no one can help you even if they wanted to.
Fifth, where the hell are you getting 3 days??? One of your posts were posted on December 22 and the other was December 23. I responded to both less than twentyfour hours!
Sixth, if you were to follow rule #1 you would have found something I'm certain.
Seventh, I'm issuing you another infraction for violating rule #2. The first time was a warning... now that I'm seeing that you didn't deserve the warning... you deserve the actual infraction itself. Now instead of being a jerk and giving you the points for the infraction and stacking another one for violating rule #2 on top of it giving you six points (ten needed for a break) I'm still only giving you the three. I highly recommend you read the forum rules if you are serious about being a part of the community. Such attitude may be acceptible on other forums on the internet but not here on XDA-Developers.

Developers, please feel free to contact me as well.
Thanks you and hope we can become good friends

Welcome to our zone!

Welcome to the place, Orb.

oooh a moderator...

Welcome
Well, if there's a bright center to the forum, you're on the section that it's farthest from.
Seriously it will be good to have a Mod to clear up the "Can I root 2.2.1" and similar which plague these areas.

i was wondering how you root 2.2 welcome mate

Thanks Orb! About time we got an actual 'mod' to look after our forums

OMG.... *hides*

Lol, thanks a lot guys
The idea is to have a better cleanest forum so I will be doing some of that stuff around.
If anything special you need to be done please let me know

Welcome to our dark corner
Well.... Since you asked. How about merging or getting rid of all those 2.2.1 rooting threads? Pretty pleeeease?

Let's see your improvement by starting to root our 2.2 , so welcome mod...

Yes glad to make it can you provide links?
I have done a bit of cleaning, perhaps already gone...

Mod's don't mean super-awesome hackers. They may super-awesome hackers but usually they are just patrolling a specific sub-forum to clean it of junk. Also orb3000 doesn't have a wildfire. And by the way, our administrator mikechannon (think of it as xda leader or supermod) isn't better than Cottula at hacking for example. So if Unrevoked team can't root Hboot 1.01, neither can the mods!

Sorry guys.
Due to heavy loads of work I will not be Mod on Wildfire section at the end.
But soon someone will arrive to help to improve this section.
Thanks a lot to all for your understanding

Desire HD stuck on HTC screen

Hi to all.
I just got a HTC desire HD from a client ant it's stuck on HTC screen.
Unfortunately I an kind of new in the android world so I would like some help please.
Thank you.

Is the client paying you to fix the handset?

Ehm, return to htc? Problem solved, close this tread.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App

Wrong section.
If your being paid then maybe offer money for help outside of xda, making money off the help people give for free is immoral.
However, it sounds like a bootloop. Has the client been flashing/rooting?
Search the forum for bootloop.

That matters, why?
@OP: Take battery out, then put in and turn on while holding volume down and let us know if you get a white screen with writing on it.
Look for S-ON or S-OFF. If it says S-OFF then you can fix this really easily.
Edit: As everyone is say "ZOMG CLOSES THIS THREADS OMG I AM TEH AWESOME!!!111ONE!!!!1111ELEVENTY". If some mod comes and closes it, because you dared to ask for help. Then feel free to PM me.

Where in this thread do you see that? Who said there awesome, and what does "1111ELEVENTY" have to do with anything.

If you're not willing to help people. Then don't spam up threads in which you're not willing to help in.
If the guy is getting paid, then good for him. He didn't come here and say "Client is asking me to fix this for money". You came here enquiring about money.
If you're so desperate for cash, go do something productive with your life.

Sorry? Have I offended you?
Spamming up threads? That must be what I'm doing with my time these days then.
As for doing something productive, you know virtually nothing about me, nor how much money I earn. If I was desperate for cash I'd probably have a "Donate to me" button next to my username and spam up threads.

I apologize if me asking for you assistance made other people argue but I am just a employee in service that repair mobile phones and other electronics. Witch means that I am not paid directly by the client. My kind of work might make me discover other solutions to other problems I would not have any problems sharing them to other people without caring why they need it.
I am sure that everybody in this forum works somewhere and many of you in the mobile business so many of you are being payed to do this.

You sir are pure win.

I don't know what's the point of the whole argument.
A guy posted a question asking for help on how to fix a client's phone. Who knows how many members of the xda are community are working on repair shops, who of course ask for money in return of their services?
If you're not willing to help then do yourself a favor and quit bashing the guy. Don't act as you're the only all-knowing guy who could fix his problem.

There is no need to apologise as you have done nothing wrong, aside from posting in the wrong section which wasn't a crime last time I checked.
I was never my intention to turn this thread into an argument, nor do I think I did. I never bashed the guy. If you read through 99%+ of my posts I do try to help people. Not act like an obnoxious child.
We (the community) would need more information to help you. Do you know how to access the bootloader? Did the client tell you what had happened prior to this problem. Has he/she rooted / modified the handset.
HERE is a similar thread from the info we have so far. The problem was solved. Try following this thread to see if that solves your problem too.

It turned out that the owner of the phone had been playing (flashing/rooting) with the phone.
So yes it was a bootloop and I fixed it.
