haha, you joined this forum this month, and you think you can undestand it all?
I have been here a little while..I still get surprised with what I can find on this forum.
If I want to learn something new, I spend a great deal of hours trying to find something I can use, and when I find something, I spend alot of time reading up on it, searching even more in the same topic.
All in all. The wiki is not perfect, the forum is not perfect, but in my oppinion, its dam close. I know a bunch of paysites that provides alot less info then you find here.
We are a bunch of ppl who love what we are doing, but demanding more and more and more is not the way to do it.
And the funny thing here is: Imagine if you got all the answers, and are happy with it
Imagine then...In a few days, another guy ask the same question, ofcourse you help him....and then, in a few days, another thread is started with similar questions. and so on...
Then you start thinking; hmmm, maybe we should make a sticky with this info, so that the noobs dont ask so many times, I will make it easy for them.
So there..you got a sticky with the topic, and alot of good answers (now you have become a more experienced user, uyou are getting good with the terms used here, you know what stuff means, like in.ex RUU, ROM, Hard-SPL etc..)
And again, you are happy to help ppl out, you start using the language used on this forum, you use the knowlege you have mastered in some degree.
And your sticky is full of wisdom and knowlege.
But...after 50 guys have asked the same question (in many diffrent ways, nice, begging, cursing, hateful and so on) you start thinking:
Dam, will those huys never learn to read? Hell, I have given them everything I know, the best way I can.
You are starting to become lazy with posting in your sticky, cause you have done so before, so many times...even on pm (private messages) ppl are asking for personal guidence, and they need it now (and your girlfriend is waiting in the bedroom, or dinner is ready, or you need to go to work, or you have damn much stuff you need to fix with the latest w/e, and are quite finished with that old ****, cause you have moved way past that stage long time ago )
And suddenly you find yourself writing something like I am writing now...

OK. we will change ALL...we will make it like in other forums...a "How 2 post" so that EVERY post looks the same...so that noob can follow...
BUT YOU check ALL NEW post if they are posted the right way.
hahahahahahaahaha
NO man. IF you cannnot follow the instructions in the threads...DO NOT FLASH!!!
I spent 1 year ONLY READING before flashing my first rom!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO don´t come here with 5 posts and tell us how to do our job
Well i dont wish to be this forum like any other "plx crack this phorumzz", i think its just as it should be.
besides, when i started flashing my htc devices, it took me 10 mins to find xda-dev's, and another 30 min to figure out what buttons to press to get the stuff i wanted to have.
so dont tell us its too difficult - if youre not smart enough its not our concern.
use google for other forums if youre not pleased with the offers in here.

i know, it takes time ...
I know this website is really help and helps so much. But i was thinking if people can make or direct people to videos shows people step-by-step how to do things to there phone. i feel it will help alot. The text information that evryone gives is great but video can help alot.
and if it not really possible if you can takr pics or screen shots of the step-by-step directions that will also help.
what do you guys think??
If you have videos send us the link and describe whats is it about..
That is about the dumbest idea I've ever heard. Video howto's are fine for teaching people how to nail boards together to build a deck, but you suggest video howtos for how to use a COMPUTER... which is naturally TEXT/DIGIT based. Quite frankly, if you can't understand concise text instructions, then watching some retard who video'd himself pushing buttons is DEFINITELY going to make things MUCH WORSE.
I dont think its a dumb idea... i understand all the instructions i see on xda developers, but i am not new to computers so i wouldnt NEED a video but even i have watched some videos that have helped me out a great deal, and understand what im doing because the person shooting the video explains whats going on. Trouble is, who will have the time to do a video for each and every little tweak or adb push or rom flash etc...
bboy_201 you might see this happen through tmobile first before xda developers.... maybe google....

In some fairness if you're new to computers or aren't comfortable enough to be reading and using text based instructions, you probably shouldn't be flashing your phone or modding in the manner that is done here.

True. But from my own experience i learned computers by doing this kind of stuff right off the bat.. trial and error... so now its nothing to me really.
If you are BRAND NEW to computers and you dont understand basic commands, i believe video tutorials and basic reading would be good

Not everyone in your I.U. 20 class was able to learn by reading, some had to watch others or attempt themselves. A lot of them did manage to remove the stick, though.
If you want video how to's there are many out on the internet. Google it. But in my experience everyone that I have known that has tried to follow a video walk through has just made things worse. I have fixed many phone and even worse(bricked) because someone was following a video walk through. Just take the time to read the information and it will be a lot easier on you. One you have everything right there for your but the most important part is that you will learn more about what you are doing and hopefully get an understanding so that if something goes wrong you can fix it.
Just search youtube. How to root G1 Simple as that.
i gotta agree that videos of how to do most of this is a bad idea, most of the reason to root your phone or do any modding to it is so that we can find the full potential of the device, if you make videos then any idiot can do it and they will come here looking for help when they "brick" their phone. and rather than being a good forum poster they will not search and will start posting multiple threads all over asking for help because someone helped them the first time. if we make everyone read the instructions then in theory they will actually LEARN something and won't need to be spoonfed simple instructions such as rebooting/iping/reflashing/pulling the battery.
VIDEO WALKTHROUGHS ARE A BAD IDEA if you cannot read how to do it you shouldn't do it, if you do not know how to undo it you shouldn't do it either
Instead of videos, I believe text + pictures (screenshots) would be a better option. Because some people have annoying voices. lol.

LMFAO!!!!!!!
just read the text, they're all here.. thats how i learned(nd most people) plus all my exprience with computers, which i read everything myself. not to be rude, dont be lazy and read man.
oh i never finished school HAHA, juvey most of the time(its not something to laugh about, if i can change the past i would)
wow some people gotta take it easy....
people learn differently and i was just suggesting that more than one way of showing how to do things would help out.

I agree 100 man...
coolptut's youtube videos of how to root my phone where the most helpfull to me. there is a part one and part two. but then again I think they were more helpfull than here only because it said to copy/past the text to type into terminal emulator into notepad first so it was easier to see the spaces and such. I tried a few times before following the xda thread but kept making typos I guess becuase it never worked.

man thats just wrong...
I was wondering if anyone had the time and patience to teach me how to root/flash/fully customize my G1 in person? I'm EXTREMELY new to all that my G1 is capable of, and do not have the time or patience to learn this all on my own.
Now, what I do have is money and a generous heart. If you are willing to meet with me in your free time and teach me what I would like to learn, you can definitely earn some donations for your expert work. I am 100% serious and definitely not wasting your time.
Feel free to contact me here
Thanks

I am absolutely being honest. Thank you for the benefit of the doubt. I totally expected to get flamed in here. But, I had to take a chance.
Now,I tried asking around my circle of friends for help. No luck. I searched Craigslist locally. No luck. I watched Youtube videos to attempt this myself. No luck. I was referred here from Youtube videos and the amount of information was overwhelming and confusing to a non-tech guy such as myself.
I am a hands-on learner and the option of having one of you much more tech-savvy guys, or girls , at my side to guide me through this easily confusing process would be a real benefit.
Thank you to the people that gave an honest response. I will contact you all very soon and the most convenient person will be compensated for their time.

Even non-tech there are STEP by STEP guides. Word for word. Action for action. You posting this really shows you just not trying. Sorry, but tech-junkie or not, even if G1 is your first phone you've ever had, if you actually watched all the youtube videos like you said you did and listened to the instructions, you would have been able to do it. It's really easy. VERY easy. If you've ever installed an OS on a computer, you can root a G1.
If you can't root, you don't need to. You will never be able to update your ROM and there's a 85% chance you'll brick your phone somewhere down the road. Also, if you can't do it, you probably don't even know the benefits other than being different.

You have the time. It takes roughly 30min at most to learn. You're just too lazy and unwilling and want someone else to do it for you.

I really don't have the time and I am definitely not lazy. I tried my best on my own and I failed. So I thought I'd reach out to a community much better at this than myself to see if they could help. I don't want someone to do it for me. I want someone to teach me how to do it efficiently, so I can mod my phone at will on my own. I didn't think that was too much to ask.

Edit: Forgot to put this in here. You've never installed an OS?! Then no, you REALLY don't need to root if you're that bad technically.
You're welcome for my assumptions, if you listen you might save a phone.
Ok, that's exactly my point. If you tried for 3 days straight, which I doubt, and didn't succeed, you don't need to do it. Ever.
They are NOT all different and do NOT all differ in instructions. How do I know this? There's only two ways. One click - or downgrade and one click.
You copy dream.nbh, rflashrec.apk, and recovery.img to your sdcard, hold back and power on. It picks up dream.nbh, you install it. You boot, find a file manager. Navigate to to flashrec.apk. Install it. Open it, type in /sdcard/recovery.img (if that's where it's saved and named) and look at that.
Four lines of text! Would take me 15 min to do at most.

Even with someone teaching you, you're not going to learn. You have hundreds of youtube videos, there's no difference. If you tried, you could do it. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean. I'm trying to help you with this. You don't need to root. You don't even know why you want to! Do you understand how much damage you could do flashing the wrong thing?
@watson4279:
Members have provided the steps/procedures necessary to root/flash your device so that you may customize as desired.
Most members will tell you that they all started at the same place as you ... the beginning. Most members will also tell you that time, effort, and dedication is required. If you are not comfortable with the procedures (as you have stated) and cannot spend the time required to figure it out, I encourage you to hold off rooting/flashing your device until you have the time to dedicate to this.

hey guys, i think i am trying to to install a new rom. what i am trying to do is dual boot wm 6.5 and android, if thats possible, i have tried searching for stuff, but i get not enough info in some places, and too much in others, here are some links to stuff i have found so far:

can anyone help me out with this? its a lot of info for me, and i dont know what to do/ look at
i have read all the newbie and noob posts out there, so dont tell me to go read them
id like someone to tell me exactly what to download and how to run it to effectivly get android running on my device, dual boot if possible, id like to keep wm 6.5 but also have android. id also like to have a back up rom that is completly "stock" unless a hard reset will erase everything and put it back to "stock" incase i need to sell the device, or just go back.
im sure i am missing a few things, so any help would be greatly appreciated, i really need to get this done, because as of right now, i am not to happy with my device with just wm 6.5 and i cant afford to take a loss and sell it back...
i also may be wrong with some of my terminology, so what i understand is with dual booting i can run wm 6.5 just like i have now and use CHT and stuff, or i can run an android UI like the real android devices?
like i said, any help would be greatly appreciated, and i really need to get this accomplished,
thanks,

So you're bothered by the fact we didn't give you the answers quick enough, to something that you obviously had the ability to work out on your own? That points to the fact you didn't do enough to help yourself, before posting your question...something the rules here specifically address.

i did several hours of searching before i posted this, and after a lot of dead ends and frustration, i posted the question, but i continued to search after i posted, which led me to my answer.
and i dont think you guys get paid anything, i just would have expected at least one person to post something, helpfull or not, i just found it weird that no one said anything, not even "i am interested in this as well" or something like "good luck" that i see in other posts....
There's nothing weird you just don't have enough patience to wait for replies. Anyways, good to see that you actually utilized the search function. There's a dedicated android on hd2 forum here on xda. You should have posted your question there.

mods, please close thread, i got the problem fixed, and there is no need for this thread anymore...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and i didnt mean anything negative by this, i wasnt mad at anyone, i was just trying to be a little funny by throwing some sarcasm in there...
i am terribly sorry that you guys have no sense of humor and couldnt understand that... i though forums where supposed to be friendly, and people were supposed to be able to say funny and or sarcastic things without somone jumping on their back...
once again, please close thread.
it's all good in here man. We all just get a little bit of newbieitis where the only cure is to lash out at the newbs.
There is a lot to learn on this forum and by the time you learn it all, your device is out of date.
It seems you wanted to figure it all out in a night. Been using WinMo for about 2-3years now and I still don't have a clue most of the time.
pbleonidus, if that comment was just tongue-in-cheek, then it's all good, no harm no foul. Those types of comments are near-impossible to tell the difference between light-hearted and just disrespectful....and believe me, we get FAR more of the latter type in here...and that does tend to strike a bit of a raw nerve with those here who go to a lot of effort to help others.
So, a lesson in this for all of us: you're apparently not the type of snarky jerk that we run across so often, and we're not always able to generate answers as quickly as you might expect. Cool? Cool.
I'll get this thread closed for you.
Thread closed as requested.

hey guys, im new to this website thanks to a good friend of mine (he doesnt have an xda account but he has knowledge of it). I'm basically interested in XDA because i wanted more to do with my phone (EVO4G) and i have heard the best source of help would be XDA. i've had the phone since its release date and havent done much with it since i've gotten it. Now im convinced to "root" it and see how fun it is. i'm having trouble doing anything i've seen on youtube and i dont want to do anything stupid to damage it, but i'd love to know everything on rooting and the likes of it...anyone willing to help a brother out? LOL
1. welcome newbie..
2. yes you are in the right place...
3. what the hell took you so long?
4. did you see the sticky : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881747
5. yes, there are a lot of members that will help you...but remember .. it is best to do a quick search first.
6. what is your question?
7.. because its lucky!
You want to start on the unrevoke website,than download the software and hboot drivers,you need them to root your phone,without them it will not work.
Sent from my evil evo!!
Yeah man I'll help you out... Rooted my evo before I even made a phone call... You're going to be amazed at how much better your phone is rooted/customized...
The best advice I can give you is to READ... try the stuff out, if you have issues or questions, like dan330 said, search first cuz more than likely whatever you run into has already been figured out. I've been here a long time so I know what will get you help from the people that know what they are doing.
Check out this thread when you get done with the other... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701245
