He's exactly right... because this subforum is just starting up, everything needs to be in its appropriate section. It will make everthing easier when this starts to pick up and you need to go back and find something. No one who wants to flash a custom rom wants to read questions about apps. So no hatin involved, lets just put stuff in the appropriate spots

Check again I did help. I am more that willing to help out. Just check all of my post history. I am just trying to keep dev area clean (on this new Thread) so that the posts you see here are all dealing with Development, fixes , etc..

yes i understand that but to the op you really didnt help at all thats what i mean im not saying your wrong at all im just saying help the guy even though he posted in the wrong spot and then ask him to move it cause hes in the wrong section thats all
honestly i was going under the assumtion that odin was some program you had to use to flash roms or something along those lines. How would i go about transfering it to the general section?
none of you are helping at all. if you don't have anything helpful at all to contribute then don't say anything at all. saying stuff like this doesn't belong here isn't helpful at all and all it does is clutter the thread. if it needs to be moved then let a mod decide on that.
as for answering the op's question...
Odin is the program you use to flash phones.
'Odin Multi Downloader v3.95.exe' is used to flash the Samsung Galaxy. It's usually included in firmware packs.
Gunman is trying to help... Ppl need to read the rules and follow them before posting... A simple google search would have answered his question.. I already posted a "read before posting" thread.. Its all the way at the bottom bc ppl are posting incorrectly and in the wrong place

when you say firm ware like when you flash new kernals/roms or updating hardware like the radio and such? or do you mean the version of android itself? also do you have to use odin or can you just get a .zip of the firm ware/rom then flash it in recovery mode?
Id say 99.999% of the time no one mods the hardware, the roms are essentially like OS's, and firmware is like a bios, it translates what the rom wants us to do into how the hardware is going to do it.
Yes I realize this is not a perfect analogy, and no offense to the OP, this is just a basic rundown for anyone starting out.

Odin is a tool used for downloading new rom's or software to the phone. you need to put the phone into download mode to get odin to recognize it. Be very careful as to how you use this software, it can brick your phone if you mess up and don't do it right.
So I tried being a good friend and attempted to install froyo on a co-workers fascinate and he neglected to tell me (i neglected to ask if) he had voodoo lagfix installed. When the phone booted back up it was in a force close loop, So i used odin to install it fresh. Now when the phone boots all i get is : --wiping data. .. Formatting Fota... Formatting Data... DATA WIPE FAILED...., and all it does is loop. Ive tried searching i promise i have, but i cant find anyone with the exact problem of mine. Any ideas? i really have to give my co-worker his phone back... working
Did you use di01 complete package?

i actually tried using the froyo leak. im downloading dI01package3.tar.md5 right now.. think it will work?
It will work
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Just for my own knowledge, why does he have to go back to Di01? Can't he use the Md5 file for DL09?
or are the DL09 and subsequent updates just that, only updates and not the fully base OS?
And this contributes to development how?
I tried helping my co-worker further enhance his phone by installing froyo, and i developed a bigger problem on his android phone
This belongs in general.

He may have posted it in the wrong section, but how have you helped in any way? Do not be a jackass just because someone posted in the wrong section. Let them know for future reference, and move on. Grow up.
thanks guys problem fixed... thank you for the quick reply and help.
will post at the right spot next time....

Not just someone, it happens multiple times a day, and it's getting frustrating. People need to read, and understand the rules, instead of just posting away. When someone gets a driving license, it doesn't mean they can go blowing through stop signs just because they're new to it. Follow the [email protected]#$!** rules.
I never said it isn't frustrating. I do see where you come from, trust me. BUT, at the same time there is no reason at all to continue to be a jackass in a thread when all he is doing is asking for help. Tell him once, try to help if you can, and drop it. To continue to be a jack ass and making someone feel unwelcome is just as bad as posting in the wrong section IMO.
And this contributes to development how? Drop it, and move on.

Good point - my bad (I just thought we could have separate Q&A section like they have for the Captivate)

I took on the project to install wp7 and dual boot android. Installing magldr and wp7 went without any problems but I made the mistake of switching out the sd cards. Now it goes to the sd card not working screen and gives me the option to turn off. I performed a hard reset holding the up and down along with power. The reset took less than a second before it said it was complete and still boots to the sd card not working screen. I would like to do a hard reset through magldr but am not sure how because it just boots to the 123456 go go go screen and boots into wp7. Any insight would be great. I have been searching but have not been able to come up with anything. Thanks
Aaah! What a great new ROM from Stinkybudz called PROBLEMS DOING A FACTORY RESET! Thanks you man, flashing it now!
oops... what is that? Its not a rom? Why is it in a rom section then? Because of some noob is spamming this forum with his stupid questions?
Well you know, you maybe read an article about developers leaving this forum because of noobz. If you want to see such noob dear Stinkybudz, look in the mirror. Because you are a NOOB.

Flash original WP6.5 Rom from the HTC website, by Switching the phone off, when it off hold the vol down button + power button.
You will see the tri color screen (bootloader) and from there plug in USB and flash 6.5 rom or use SD card method (format sd to FAT32 and rename to leoimg.nbh).

hey thanks for the good info douch bag. why dont you go jump off a bridge. Sometimes people make mistakes and post in the wrong forum. People like you are useless to the community and worse than a noob trying to get everything figured out.
Don't know if it can help but just after first splash screen you can do the same as for wm6.5 ie VOL- for flash and VOL-/VOL+ at the same time to have a menu checksum/factory reset but this time it will be for WP7 using spl provided by magldr.
happened to me before, I had an sd card I was playing with. Partitioning it for android and so. But then I headed off for my work, took my phone and totally forgot my sd card was still in the pc, lol.
So i thought, just buy a replacement sd card real quick, but wp7 said that the sd card was not compatible. It was a sandisk, so I bought another one, wich also gave the same message. So I couldn't use my phone that day.
In the end, when I came home, i reinserted the sd card i left in my pc and voila, it worked and all the data, games, music and other stuff were still there.
So, just insert your old sd card in it and then boot into wp7 again and do a reset.
i got it figured out. I just needed to get to the magldr boot options by holding down the power button until it showed up. I just reflashed and it is all good now. Thanks for the help

well said.. noobs do learn.. but these guys dont.
Your problem was, that you didnt know how to get into MAGLR menu. That is something, which could be easily found. And because you are lazy, you broke several forum rules by starting this thread.
1. Posted in wrong section
2. Started new thread about something that could be found elsewhere (yes it could)
3. You swear...
This is supposed to be development forum for DEVELOPERS. I remember, when years ago it was. People was discussing development. Now it turned out to be chaos with thousands of totally pointles posts, repeated questions from lazy people who are not able to search and read and totally pointless threads like this one.
Developers are leaving, noobs are multiplying. Owners of this forum are aware of this and trying to fight this problem, but it seems, that they are loosing the battle.
Its very hard to find anything within all the thanks, pointless debates and questions from people who think that this is technical support. You just made it worse a little. Just because you were unable to find out fow to get into MAGLR menu, which is really totally basic task. How would you describe yourself if not a noob?
Call me a douchebag if you want, it will not make you any better.

jeez, what is wrong with some people. are you trying to scare new members away from xda? Yes, it should not be posted here, in fact, maybe not be posted at all, but you seem to have some loose wires in your head. you don't need to freak out. jeez, i can now see why some wars have been started.
you don't like it, then just don't respond to this thread anymore. go whine at a moderator and make him force close this thread if that is what you really want.
I have never believed developers ran away, just because of the noobs, but more because of some rivalty. Besides, fresh new developers are here, like yukixda.
You should apply for a moderator function and ban all of the people you dislike. period.

When I attempt to power up my (not rooted) LGV20 TMobile, I get a few multicolor bands on the display.then nothing. I dont know if just the screen is broken or if the phone is really dead. When I plug the phone into my PC it doesn't show as a drive..or at all, but this could be due to the USB setting on phone being "charge only". At this point if the phone is a goner so be it ..but I would really like to get all my photos and music off of it if at all possible. Help is much appreciated!

Hi,
I've just moved this thread to the correct section. Thanks for helping but it's not necessary to reply, just use the report button on any misplaced thread to get the moderators' attention and it will be fine and enough. :good:
Edit: if you are using a mobile app you can switch from the current page to use any web browser ("load in browser" feature) and then use the report button.
