Come on, the Dev forum is already full of threads like this which have nothing to do there!
Jeff, all you need to know is in the XDA Sapphire Hacking wiki and the CyanogenMod wiki.
Read and don't ask people to hold your hand. If you don't understand something then search the forums for an answer... and if you still don't understand then don't do it.

I didn't say post there. I gave him the link to the Noob-resources topic. Why don't you click on the link before replying to my post and think.

We all know you're new to flashing a new rom and so were all of us, and we all had questions, so most of the ones you'll come up with will have already been answered somewhere in the forum.
I would start with the CyanogenMod page Its perfectly laid out and will walk you through it step by step, go at it and have fun. If you have questions, look for answers on that page, if you can't find them, look in the forum, then if not there, post a question in a thread applying to your question.

[Q] Registry error when updating...help!

Hello guys,
I'm new here so hello to all.
Recently installed the DFT WP7 on my HTC HD2 and now have been prompted to update through my Zune software. Everything seems to work as normal, rebooting the phone, but and error occurs stating the phone cannot be backed up and that my registry settings are incorrect.
Is there a fix for this or a step I've missed when I flashed my device?
Any advice will be much appreciated!

the only step you've missed perhaps is not to read the other 200 threads stating the update not to work on our hd2's

What do you mean? Are there any others? NO WAY!

Why am I not surprised the Forum Jester would make his appearance.

You are most welcome as a new member of these boards, but please do take on board the lessons of not searching before posting.
It was only the forum jester this time; next time it may be someone with a flamethrower!
Have fun.

wait and give a space of time and enjoy what you have,because it seams that the update you are looking for it's not as good as it sound...that's in the first.
second as the guys told you have to search the forum for your question first mate
third,as it was mentioned form hard working members in xda-developers,you could get a new piece of art on your hd2 soon.
conclusion, ignore the update!!!

[TUTORIAL] How to thank a DEV or good post.

Tutorial copied from spaarc from X10 subforum. Just thought this is a nice idea and should be spread through all subforums of XDA.
Link to original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220777
ONCE AGAIN: THIS TUTORIAL WAS NOT WRITTEN BY ME AT ALL, I'VE JUST EDITED SOME PARTS WHERE THE OP MENTIONED THE X10 FORUM.
But I would appreciate if you hit the thanks button...
It would be nice if every section of the xda had a copy of this.
Here it goes:
This is a tutorial for people who are new to xda and the SGS2 forums...
There are many other people who do not how to thank either
So here are the steps :
Do's :
If a developer
1.) You click on the OP of the dev showing a ROM
2.) You read through his OP
3.) LEFT CLICK the thanks the Thanks button before u do anything
4.) If using XDA app, hit menu button on your phone, then click Browser, and hit thanks from the browser.
If a good post
1.) You read the post and like it
2.) Left click the thanks button
3.) If using XDA app, hit menu button on your phone, then click Browser, and hit thanks from the browser
the thanks button looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and can be found on the bottom right corner of posts
Dont's :
1.) You feel ungrateful
2.) You download and use the ROM without hitting the thanks button
3.) You forget about the thanks button and post "THANKS" or "Good work , mate"
4.) You don't bother to read this guide
5.) You right click the thanks button
6.) You search for a please button
7.) You forget to thank even a good post
8.) Feel lazy to thank because you are using the XDA APP... I'm sure the DEV had much more work on the ROM that you are using than you will have to hit thanks.

i Need Your HELP PLS!!

im soo noob
i just have a question and need your answer to help me pwerrty pls
my phone MyTouch 4g 2.3.4
and i need to downgrade to root my phone
and i found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
but i dont really understand
is there an easy way how to donwgrade my phone?
or can i root my phone even thoug its 2.3.4
hopefully someone can help me
Thank you PPL

If you don't understand what's in the guide - you have no business rooting your phone.

Step 1: Read.
Step 2: Read.
Step 3: Install ADB.
Step 4: Understand that if you screw up your phone it is no one'd fault but you.
Step 5: Download all files needed in that guide. (That may be harder than you think)
Step 6: Follow that guide VERY carefully and copy/paste to avoid errors.
Jack_R1 wasn't being a jerk. He was stating a simple fact. If you can't follow instructions it would be better for you not to unleash the power of superuser access. Its kept from the standard user for a reason.

I agree with previous posters, don't do anything until you understand what you are doing from start to finish cause you may not have the option to quit in the middle if you get confused.

I had my phone for 3 months, doing nothing but reading and more reading before I finally decided to root. Be patient and just READ EVERYTHING, more than once at that. Youll eventually burn all that info into your brain and itll become second nature soon enough

Dude, don't root it, if you don't know exactly what to do. Well lets just say you'll have a very nice, shiny paperweight

Yeah if you don't understand it, than don't try to do it anyway you'll just end up with a Bricked phone...

Thank you very much

First thing, wrong section to be posting this. Second, you should read up long and hard before trying stuff you don't know about. Third, it's almost impossible to brick your nexus 7 because you can usually recover any android device through fastboot.

None of these are errors...

first off use this toolkit to fix your tablet. This toolkit has everything you need.
With the above program you can insure that your rooted and unlocked. And use TRWP not CWM as your recovery.
P.S. do you know how to get into fastboot mode?
hold volume down and power it on, when it comes up you'll know. use the volume to select which mode.

i Try it

Good lord. Please stop modding your device.

Hey guys, I'm having the same problem with OP, my problem now is it return to the stage before it flash after it flashed. Which means that it shows that it is successfully flashing the stock rom, but when it reboots, it didn't. It goes back to the stage where the rom was before it was flashed. Anybody help please?

I know it can be irritating, but I wish the indignation could be dialed back around here.
I have seen the spam from this poster, yes he should quit the over posting. But to tell someone just to go away and stop, well, I feel differently.
Stay, learn. But research first, you know? And post once then wait for a reply.
As you can see, your current tactics are just making the natives restless.
Being an ESL noob isn't a crime, maybe this person will end up developing the ROM you run next year.
I thought Linux was some sort of specialized hardware earlier in this calender year.
