Perhaps the 10 post rule isn't really enough . But I don't think we can go any higher.
To look at it optimistically, a lot of people are being kept out and I've noticed a difference in the clealiness of the dev section. But there will always be people like this.

I also like people who contribute when posting, not just criticise (although I agree with the cirticism).
If you've flashed a new ROM that will remain your ROM once you clear storage / hard reset. If you still have the original ROM, then you'll have the original.
When you flash a new ROM, that replaces the original on the device, so it's not possible to revert to the original without re-flashing it.
Sorry bout' the idiotic questions..
but i'm pretty new to the mobile sections..
I've tried to install Hard-SPL but it just didn't work..

If you check the newbie thread I think you can see I've done my share of contributing, having pretty much answered a lot of questions that were posted there...
And I'm not JUST criticizing ... This is the first time, after having seen a lot of people ignoring the thread that was made just for them.
Maybe they think their questions wouldn't be answered as fast or smth...but still...
Plus, I thought, wazaaappp answered his questions.

[Q] What's the absolute best way to wipe everything & return to out of the box stock?

[Q] What's the absolute best way to wipe everything & return to out of the box stock?
First, thanks for all of you offering up your time w/ these mods. You've turned the Fascinate into a monster and I'm very grateful.
I've read through and performed the steps in the odin restore and remove voodoo threads, but I'm still a little unclear. Well, that and I'm getting some funky hangups on the phone even after doing all that. So I'd really, really like to start completely fresh. Fresh like out of the box fresh. What is the best way to go about this?
Thanks!
PS. I've looked through a few pages, but if I missed a thread w/ the exact answer I'm looking for, please link or describe it and let this one fall away.

Oops! Sorry...why was this moved? (so i know for future)
Follow the link in the first post of this thread and you'll have your answer
Thanks, but I was hoping to hear the "reason" from egzthunder1.
Because this has nothing to do with developing on the Fascinate. Not trying to be rude or anything, but questions such as these ALWAYS belong in general. This is a place for the devs to post their work/collaborate.

Thanks, that makes sense. I probably would have picked up on that had it said something simple like, "Android development, a place to share your work."

What he meant was which errors are you getting? The E:\ can't mount? Are you trying to revert back just the gfree? What are you doing? We need more information as your original post is very vague.

The only way to fix it is if you ALREADY have the engineering spl. If you do, you need to fastboot flash clockworkmod 2.x.x and fix the catches. If you don't, at least for the moment, the phone is no longer going to work and basically equals a brick.

For one for now its soft-brick. Second is only way he can push the CWMR2.x if the recovery partition is not also corrupted at that point if that does happen keep in mind it won't even bootup. Best way to check this is by placing the PD15IMG.zip on root of your sdcard and see if it works. If you get fail-pu for now the game is over and I repeat you CAN'T recover from it using push recovery in that case you will brick it completely and won't even power up. I need to do more testing when I get another MT4G as I did push the recovery.img and reverted back from e:\ can't mount before during testing.

Post it here go. I "hack" the emmc chips you read it. I bet $100 if you lookup almost all fail-pu based threads if I was on at that time I posted it on the thread. Do NOT try to give people wrong information unless you have NOT yet done anything that would jeopardize their device.

Don't need to look in my post history, you will see where me and a few others troubleshooted this prob months ago. Aren't you new to this forum? I looked in your post history, all you really do is bewilder people. Something tells me you were already banned from xda before
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
You can't post it because it does NOT exist and I am the ONLY guy in this whole MT4G section who actually hacked the emmc to find the solution, look at my Avatar. Name me the person who successfully recovered from it? You telling me you know more than I do? Have you even accessed the emmc?
"you will see where me and a few others troubleshooted this prob months ago."
lol that specially made me laugh since the oldest post regarding this issue the thread has me on it. You basically ran though my older posts and saw my recovery.img push along with flashing cwmr2.x from terminal as I posted the howto regarding it. Also the reason I was banned was due to the whole emmc issue in first place which you can find it CM7NB thread. Like I said we would be in better place right now if they didn't ban me then.

If what you claim is true then why don't you make a guide a successfully fix 99% of the bricks on this forum? I remember you now, its funny if what you claim worked you would think somebody else would have figured it out or something. Also, why ban you for helping out the forum.

1) Look in my Avatar.
2) Search for all threads related to fail-pu.
3) Go to it via Tapatalk.
4) Compare the Avatar.
Now if you could read half as you claimed to fix someones issue you would know who I am and why I am back on XDA and the reason I am back is to find the solution. But since you didn't actually read anything to begin with the point is moot. You "claimed" you helped someone on a thread which you can't post. Now you claiming someone else found the solution lol. Ill just let you do the search and see who is even posted regarding this. I grantee you not a single person who is talking about fail-pu was even in any of those threads period.
PS: I am actually waiting for another MT4G so I can hack it. Which is almost posted in every post since today. But then again since you didn't read you wouldn't know this as I only posted in threads regarding fail-pu to begin with. Its for morons like you that I get banned when I try to help the community and I get an uneducated idiot like you coming here don't have a clue on what you read or who you read from. Remember my avatar from now on I grantee you if anything intelligent was said would be coming from it. Do a single search on it and compare it.
UPDATE:
I am sorry folks but this kid pushed me with his babbling. Since I am the only one who been doing this since he even knew what failed partition update was till last week. If he thought we had a solution it would already be posted it won't be a moot point. lol he says why I didn't make a thread. I got banned for talking about emmc hack in first place yet he wants me to make a thread about it. What I am saying can be verified by looking at the threads not by pretending he saved someone to begin with.
Lol whatever you claim dude. I'm on a cell phone nor do I care about your thoughts. No wonder they banned you, your a dueche. I hope they do it again! Don't get me wrong, you seem intelligent and all but no one needs your God complex like attitude.
When I get home ill post you the thread where I helped troubleshoot (not solve) the answer I posted for the OP. However, until you write your so called guide I am right.
Update: His so called fix got him banned but yet he gives me a hard time for posting the only known fix at the moment. Question is, what does his "fix" do that gets him banned?

Did you read anything I said? How about this if your attempt fails and he bricks his device you pay for it. If you agree to those terms he will attempt your so called solution which you will find me say it on the oldest threads to begin with. If you agree and you must say YOU WILL PAY FOR IT. So he can send XDA email and obtain your info to file claim as you pay for the cost of the device. Am I getting though to you? The oldest post regarding this has me on it, almost all post regarding this has me on it if I was on at the time which can be verified though my avatar. Do you understand I was banned for this whole emmc fiasco to begin with? I would love to know other than suggesting putting PD15IMG.zip and pushing the recovery.img on mmcblk what other thing you offer atm. Which if you google.com under XDA narrow it down to MT4G you will see me post it. lol your trying to argue with the ONLY guy who was doing research regarding the emmc issue since 3-4months now. I want to so see that post where that guy recovered so I can send him a PM and have him post in here saying it didn't work and likly he bricked his device to the point it didn't turn on and he sent it to HTC for warranty replacement. Now I understand you wouldn't recognize me but my avatar been in this forum longer than you owned a device.
Dude I am not arguing with, your arguing with me. Lets say he did do what I said and it failed. His device was already done so there would be no difference. So far to date the only fix is yours and nobody but you knows it. What's weird is that it got you banned. So explain to me how I am WRONG?
1.Nobody knows your method.
2. The only known way to recover from the op's problem is what I said.

[Q] Zips Creamed Glacier..need help

Sorry, Noob here..my 1st post, actually.
I installed zip's creamed glacier 3.11 after using 3.10 for a few days. My problem only is that I backup everything to my pc before I install any rom and once I installed 3.11 the option to switch to storage doesn't work. Sooo...I ended up reverting back to 3.10 so I could reload all my music, pics, etc...
My question is, was this supposed to be fixed and it was just me that was the problem or is this a problem for anyone else?
definitely a noob LOL, youd have much better luck posting in zips thread... technically, thats where you SHOULD be posting..
i dont use zips so i cant help you but yea.. ask in his thread for results gl
yes, a noob
...exactly why I can't post on his thread...you need at least 10 posts... quite ridiculous if you ask me.. How am I supposed to post on a thread if I have to start one on my own just because I'm new to the site?
Rules are rules for a reason, I guess...

oh, sorry.. lol my fault, completely forgot new members had to wait to post in dev..
seems like a dumb rule to me too but i guess they want you to get used to the site first.. they take the dev section seriously lol
I experienced the same when upping to 3.11, however I'm not too worried. The only thing I needed to add was the low mic fix and I just emailed it to myself.
Download Multi Mount app or
use adb push method to copy files to your sd card
depending upon your recovery - you may have options there too. i use clockwordmod as my recovery - you can mount the usb from the cwm recovery, copy over your files and then update without having to restart, etc. (you can even back it up from cwm)
