So here is the deal. im not really a noob or anything. I just read the forms and find what I need to get done. With that said I want to give back for all the hard work the devs provide to all of us that use it. Im have a place to store files online that I want to be able to donate to the community so that there is no issues with waiting for a download or having to sign up to get it. I just want to be able to download the stuff I want when I want. I can do a lot of things but coding is not one of them plus I dont have a lot of time to do it (I work 2 full time jobs and own my own business.) if you are willing to help and facilitate the making of a file server with no file size restrictions, or bandwidth issues, just a place to get it going let me know and we can get this rollin.

Hello All,
First off, I want to thank everyone whos cooked and added information on these forums.
Also I want to state beforehand that for the past 3 days I have gone through countless pages of threads to try and learn as much as I can on ROMs & the such.... its a lot of info! Thats not so much the problem, as I have a pretty good idea now on how to do it (though haven't decided on a custom ROM yet), but the problem is some of it so scattered you can easily have 20 tabs open and either get confused or something.
I have been unable to find (and if there is forgive me for not searching well enough), a thread, topic, or FAQ which would state where you can get programs (ie. Windows Live/Messenger, Internet Sharing, etc) that some ROMs remove. Thats really what has held me back so far from flashing a new ROM, as I really like some of these, but they might be missing certain things I would need (like messenger, or even maybe 5 fav?) but I can't find exact information on all of this.
Edit: I understand if I want to find a program I can just Google it. But what if I don't know theres this awesome program I have never tried or heard before? Can't google a program I don't know! That's why I ask if there is a thread, site that would list them all, or a good amount. I know there couple threads here and there that display default HTC ones, and maybe some odd others.
If anyone can please help me out, or direct me where I can find more info on this I would be really grateful! I might have future questions from then on but i'll definitely be searching to keep the asking to a minimum.
One other question I do have right now is the Radio version. I know theres a thread on a current version, but I see some ppl already have a version higher than that.. is there a place where you can find the current version always, and also, when u flash ROM, does that update your Radio too.. or is it seperate?
Thank you in advance all who help!
I really do hope to be part of this community.
Well I took the dive (woot!) and HARDSPL my phone succesfully. Just finished flashing the default OEM rom and upgrading to the newest radio as well without any problems thanks to all the info you guys provided.
I can't wait to get home (where I have really bad reception) and see if this truely helped me. Im in the mood now to play with all your ROMs as well (I feel like a kid at christmas).
Update: Flashed Open 7.7 and loving it. just need to get used to this brave new world..
Status:
Play and get used to this!
My only concern, and one i cannot find so far is.. at the moment i have no MyFav program.. if i call my currents fav i had will T-Mobile still know, or do i have to have the myfav program installed on my phone so i don't get my minutes charged for calling them?
New concern is i keep getting a text from "4670" saying WCI 1.1 111 every so often, is that normal when you get this program?
Another question: When I install programs, must they always be installed ON the Device, or can I install them on the Storage Card? If i do will they work fine? (or some u can, some u can't.. and some examples)?
Sorry for all the questions!
I install all my programs to storage card. haven't had any problems there. I deleted myfavs because t-mobile stores your favs on their system, so when you call a fav their system should recognize the number. the myfavs program uses memory is why I deleted it.
the text you are getting I don't know what to tell you on that.
sounds like you have the rest down pretty good
????
How did you delete the my fav program? any assistance would be helpful
Can someone please tell me how can I unjailbreak my G1 phone. Please!!!
Email me: [email protected]
UNjailbreak?
Let me get this straight;
You have a hacked/rooted G1, and you want to know how to remove the jailbreak to get back to the original locked firmware?
Or if you just want to (to use the Apple term) 'jailbreak' it, first try asking yourself if you truly understand what it is you are wanting to accomplish by doing this.
Then try reading the forums a bit more to see how to gain root access, if that is indeed what your oddly worded query was meant to be
!
I wasn't the one to jailbreak. Some one I know told me that by doing that I would be able to change the icons on my phone and do a lot more. But by doing that I can't get any updates. That's why I want my phone locked again. Is there any way to do that? Help me!!
im pretty sure you could just flash the original rc33
but as for receiving updates....we get them here and mod them before they are release in most areas..
I know I didn't invent the wheel or anything but I always wanted a way to send the .cab files I find here straight to my phone and couldn't find a way so I created the site: http://sendtophone.info
basically it gives you a badge for people to click, it sends the link to the cab to their phone over txt. I also made a firefox extension so you can click on any link anywhere and send it to your phone. full details are on the site including a code generator for the lazy among us.
Just thought I'd give back a little, you guys are welcome to use it. You have given me countless awesome apps and top notch advice.
Example:
i wont be eager to use this or give my phone no/details online but maybe others might find this useful!
I just download the file and email it to my phone. Why get another party involved?
i guess it's another way to be able to dl from your phone, but if i'm on a computer, i just send an IM with the link to my mobile aim name, which sends a text to my phone.
edit: actually, how does this work? do you get charged for sending the text from you site? and i'm assuming you can send any links...
i think he's using some sorta script from their website (ie.att.com)
I wish this site supported Rogers....wink wink...nudge nudge
but for now i use msn ...which stopped recently...gotta get that working again....
Nice idea have added it here : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/07/13/send-to-phone-a-site-to-send-links-to-your-ppc-via-sms.html
Glad some find it useful. Just to let you know we do not store ANY info. we have no logs, no database, nothing. the only info that COULD be saved is your phone number & carrier can be saved in a cookie on YOUR computer. hope that makes people feel better. I wrote the script with privacy in mind for people like xda users.
If your carrier isn't listed go to our about page to send us a message.
RE:
Bundo: I also downloaded and emailed, but its 2009! "they" should have this worked out by now. and most importantly I'm lazy and impatient.
downloading, watching emails send, waiting to receive, downloading again all suck. I love it every time I use it.
Too much security !!
I like this a lot, but find it a slow drag to have to type the two words! Since you can select to create a cookie, can you skip the security if cookies is checked?
By no means an expert, so this may be a dumb question.
well with bots the way they are no, i can't remove the captcha. maybe if I think of some other way. but no promises

Now that I think about it a little more . . . . I'm on board.
glad to hear it!
tell me by rogers do u mean rogers wireless in canada?
I'm pretty proficient in php. Does this just send an email to [email protected] (ex [email protected])?
So you only send the link... not the actual file?
Pretty cool stuff. If it is php it doesn't need much to run so it should be pretty safe. I'm just wondering if it comes across as a message or an email. Would be cool to just send the whole file, but it would be a lot more complicated and require uploading files (which can get bad).
yeah its just simple php. it sends the link as a txt message. i wish i could send the actualfile! it works pretty well, i use the firefox addon i made so it works on every link everywhere
Looks like a good plan any chance of adding support for O2-UK? Or is it stuck to US networks?

it would work on any carrier that allows [email protected] message conversions. He just has to know the ending so he can add it to the drop down box.

Well, what if the file is later pulled from the internet, or you can't find it again? If you first download it to your computer, then you have a permanent backup in case of phone failure or loss, as well as an easy way to send it to friends.
very cool ...good job!
Incredibly useful....See what searching does?
Hey Guys!
Okay, I have noticed that in a lot of these forums people have asked for help on how to Flash, load a new ROM, etc on to their phones. Yet I have not seen any responses back to any of these posts. So, I am asking for help on this. I have no clue on how to do any of this, and when there are directions, I am not sure what a lot of it means. Im military give me a break. haha.
My dilemma is: I have just bought a HTC HD mini in Asia where I am at, obviously you all know that the language is proprietary to the country (IE China). Mine is in Chinese. I can Speak some Chinese, but damn I cannot read it. As ya'll know HTC support sux and they just tell you sorry for the inconvenience have a great day!
All I want to do is load a English ROM onto this phone so I can use it. I dont care about the warranty, or losing loaded software already on the device.
I dont want to have to take it back and be with out a phone while I am here.
Can someone please help me out?
Also, another thing that sux, I have a MAC. So, work arounds on how to get these cabs etc to load into my phone via this OS, would be great. (yes, I can load Windows on here, but I cannot download it form the net cuz if IP address and if bought at a store here, they are also in Chinese).
Any help is much appreciated.
Cody
im not too sure about MAC compatibility, but all u need to change your phone to enlgihs is right here:

I am a newbie to this forum. I have had my HD2 for a year. I'm on my third phone and I hate Tmobile. However, since I can't do anything about changing my phone for awhile, I decided to actually try to learn about it.
1. I'm illiterate to software, hardware, etc.
2. It seems like you need to be an engineer to understand all this stuff
3. I'm trying, writing notes, looking up definitions, etc.
4. I'm struggling
Anyways I was wondering if any of you people were in my area of Pittsburgh? I would love to meet up and discuss phone stuff and improve my literacy and ability. I'm slowly getting better, but alas, I'm still an idiot....
Thank You Friends
man....i wish i was in PA.....

Best advice I can give you is just keep reading.....
Even if you dont understand what your reading, read it anyway....*
Things will start to come together sooner or later. Sure it all seems confusing at first but trust me, it does all start to make sense.
Try reading the stickie threads first, the wikis contain good info too.
If theres something in particular your having trouble with then dont be afraid to ask over in the Q&A section...... try searching first though
Theres usually somebody around who'll be able to help.
Remember to try and include as much information as possible in your question though, helps to provide a more clear and concise answer.
Oh yeah..... welcome to XDA
*I stole that advice from samsamuel... (credit where credits due)
Thank you I will try to look first, but sometimes I don't even know what the heck I'm looking for!
Point in case: I can't figure out how to tether my phone with my computer?
Downloaded and have app working
Computer doesn't recognize it
No idea how to work around this
Just an example...if i can't do this I can't imagining partitioning an SD card to run android and windows 6.5....
Hmm the tethering is not an area Im too sure about, from what I've heard, a lot of the American networks require you to pay to be able to use tethering. Its available by default on my phone so I've never had to worry about it.
I would imagine that flashing a custom ROM would allow you to tether just by connecting to your computer.
As for android, if you want to run WM and Android from your SD card then theres no need to partition the card.
You just download the ROM you want.
It will be in a .zip file when you open that theres a folder called "Android".
You place that on your SD card.
Click one of the files inside. (clrcad.exe)
Then click another (haret.exe) and your off........
All the SD card android builds contained instructions in the thread how to get it running.
Like I said before, It may all seem very confusing at first but as long as you read up on what you want to do first, you'll be fine.
One thing I think is important to mention though, as your bound to have the US version of the HD2 (green and red call and hangup buttons).....
NEVER NEVER NEVER flash a radio with .51. in the name of it......
Even if you dont know what that means right now. Keep it in mind. Its the most common cause of people "bricking" their phones. 99% of problems can be fixed so dont worry but that will kill your phone instantly.
If you get to the point where you need to flash a radio, remember to check if its a good one.
Happy reading
