[Q] Guide for Installing Custom ROMS

Hi,
I have run a guide on the ZTE Blade on MoDaCo right from the initial launch of the device.
The guide at MoDaCo (I can't link because I am too new on this forum) is designed for new users to understand how to get started with custom roms and is also supposed to keep all users up-to date with the new ROMS and changes to existing ROMS.
The Question I have - I know that XDA is a big community and I believe that users would benefit from having access to my guide; should I Link to my guide from a thread here - or Keep a Duplicate thread in this forum?
Here is a non click-able link
android.modaco.com/content/zte-blade-blade-modaco-com/319831/25-dec-installing-the-modaco-custom-rom-from-scratch-and-other-roms/
It's a great guide, I read it a week ago or so when browsing for information on the ZTE Blade and it's modding capabilities and status of current custom ROMs. As an Ubuntu user I especially like the Linux specific step-by-steps
Would love to see it in "XDA markup", meaning "ported" to this forum since it would be easier to follow when you're used to this forum's style. Although, it's very easy to follow due to being well written and constructed, so you'd have to weigh that against the pain keeping two versions in sync.
Dunno what forum policy is regarding just linking to another site/forum, but I think this guide should be sticky somewhere on XDA. It would definitely keep down the numbers of questions and new threads

Latest in upgrading your galaxy tab to gingerbread...

Hi, guys!
I don't 'wonna disturb all you hard working developers and other users, but as I was going thru all the sources it seemed like a good waste of time and I think it should all be rewritten for a simpler use...
IF YOU OWN A GSM TAB AND WISH TO UPGRADE IT TO 2.3.3. GINGERBREAD, THEN FOLLOW THIS:
1. Flash your GSM TAB GP-T1000 (only) with the following instructions:
2. There is an upgrade to this ROM, the "RC1" pack (use it at your own risk), at the following link:
As I myself had gone all the way round all this and finally came to the above mentioned procedures, I was lucky enough not to brick my tab, yet following some procedures made me do a repair described at the following links:
MY PROCEDURE, MY EXPERIENCE:
1. I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083971
2. Then I was made to do the following to repare the damage from "step 1":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854
Finally I had discovered the methods mentioned at the beginning of this posts, which are more reliable and to the point...
Hope this helps all of you, who did not make it to the 2.3.3. yet...
Edit : already mod look at it
+1 for me the firmware provided by the OP in that forum were error free when I tried them. I was new to flasing then.
Yet I am quite surprised that you are allowed to make a comparison between that forum and xda.
Also why would you recommend an upgrade using a non official firmware? JQ1 is quite outdated now.

All necessary links, already contained in two guides.
@ the OP...
Whilst we appreciate you taking the effort to put this guide together with the intention of helping people out. I feel that its probably wise to close the thread as this information is already available from older more established threads.
Theres also the fact that some users may be confused at being directed off site for a tutorial then being directed back to XDA to download a file....
Please dont take this personally its just that I think it would be better for new users to follow an older guide thread where most of the likely questions have already been asked and answered
Cheers

[Q] rooting

I know that this is a developers forum, so I figure that I can get some good advice here. I have found this rooting procedure at android authority .com. Is it good. What is it missing
Dont need to start a new thread for what is a very popular question and has lots of other threads for it.
Suggest you try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889 if you are doing this on a Winbox.
This guide is excellent as well.

You Can Contact Me On Skype At corbo987corbin or message me on here
1. Please search before posting
2. Please use decent grammar, one long sentence is actually rather difficult to read
You expect us to read your post yet you quite clearly haven't read anything at all before posting this question. If you had searched in any way (your question is essentially 'how do I flash NAND Android?' you would have found tonnes of threads asking the exact same thing and numerous guides. I've found this to be the best guide.
This post is wrong in so many ways:
1- Your title is not descriptive.
2- You didn't search before making your post.
3- Your grammar makes reading your post very hard, and you are using incorrect terms. (wtf is tand? sp?) .. I know you mean sd & nand, but you should care for your readers.
4- You want us, to contact you, on Skype, and guide you through the installation? haha, sure, we will .
^Fix these and I am sure you won't even need our help. (considering you've done #2)

[Q] Help please

Hi ,
My daughter has had this phone for about 18 months and it has never missed a beat until last week. It will not start, it will not get passed the Samsung logo.
I have tried to flash the phone without success, again it will not get passed the logo screen - now, i could have done the procedure wrong......very probable, could somebody point me to a complete newbie guide, including links for progs required and if possible a step by step, including rooting the phone ( i fear i may have done this wrong)?
I am assuming that the phone is salvageable and not bricked? I have had some experience of flashing before, with my HTC Sensation, had numerous custom Roms on that , but it has been some time since.
Really chaps, any kind of help and guidance wouid be really appreciated with this problem.
Regards
Rob
Flash the firmware of your region.There are video tutorials on YouTube to help you get a way around.

Please post support questions in the questions and answers thread
You will need to flash stock rom via odin - you will find instructions on my firmware thread at the top of the dev section or by clicking the link to goto my list of threads in my signature
For rooting please search - you will find lots of root zips and guides - in fact theres one I think currently on the 1st page of the general section
