I have a 8525 and I need some help.
two things, I'd like to get WM6 and keep all the stuff I have put on it. second, I have no clue how to set the WiFi.
Now here is my question;
would anyone in Brooklyn, NY care to help me out and do this for me? I'll bring the beer! Just one catch... I don't have a computer.
I hate to make this my first post, but kinda had to.
pretty please with a cherry on top!
Read HERE. It will help you alot.
Also MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS!!!
You're welcome in Holland........
i've done so much reading...
but to be honest, I need someone to show me in person so I can understand.
But thanks for the links, I have already used the search.
my offer for beer still stands for help, I'm willing to meet up within NYC.
I get it... does anyone want money to help me instead of beer?
or is it a trust issue because of I'm new guy here?
I'm sure if you were a blond with a couple of nice boobs you had 20 offers already. But hey sometimes things aren't always as we want it

Wait a minute - no one mentioned boobs before. I'll fly in from Michigan if you need help... oh wait... damn. Misread that. Oh well.
Actually, you may want to PM austnsync - I think he is an NY guy. He may be available or know someone.
You guys crack me up!
sorry but yes i'm a man, although i'm blonde with a shaved/bald head I don't go that way. If you want some boobies I'll gladly put some pictures up
hopefully there will be someone will see this cry for help and offer some.
As for credentials, check out itrca.com's forums. I'm a mod and member there for a long time.
So beer and money is not attractive enough and I can't find any hood rats for you... What will it take to get some help?
(watched ''40 year old virgin'' last night)
You want someone to go to your house and set your phone up with WM6 and whatever else you may want? What if after they have left, you run into some huge problem? Are you then going to ask for someone else to come help fix it? I don't mean to sound like an ass but the stuff you want done is really easy. If not having a computer is a problem, then surely you must have at least one good friend with a computer who will let you set your phone up. If so, here are 3 links that should help a lot.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/
^ This link is a "how to" install WM6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=355
^ There are newer and better roms in this link here.
Last but certainly not least.. the holy grail of information about anything you could ever want to do to your phone is here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Basically Yes,
I just got myself a new laptop and now I deffinately need help.
I'd be willing to meet up with anyone who knows how to upgrade my 8525 and get the sync working.
I'm not going to hold anyone responsible for messing up as long as it was unintentional
What I'm looking for is some instructional help, show me what to do and walk away.
I really suck at computer stuff, Really suck!
I have looked through those links and to be honest, it's like a different language
Beer, Coffee, money, whatever is needed to get me some honest help.
Or should I just go to GeekSquad and let them have a shot at this?
So not one person needs some extras cash?
Can someone that works for sprint get a hold of me? I need some help here, or sprint (the company) can kiss my rear end.

Pretty general thread if you ask me, bud.
1-800-927-2199 if you want to talk with someone with brains at Sprint.
I still have a question to ask someone who works at sprint and has some brains in their head.

Maybe you're not asking the right way. How about "Is there anybody at Sprint at isn't a complete f&%^head?"
That should get people interested in helping you out.
As long as I'm here, can you be more specific about the nature of your question? There are employees...and then there are customer care reps. Only one of these groups can access your account info.
Here's a rep for you,I heard he's the best in town,he even designed the samsung instinct and told me it would kill the iphone!

you can find him by screaming that the iphone is infact comming to sprint.

I've been communicating with someone about this and am currently trying to get it resolved as we speak. To all who have their panties up in a bunch, sorry, might wanna check into getting that fixed, and to all who have offered any assistance, I appreciate it.

You come to a dev forum of a phone looking for assistance with sprint. This is not the place to do that. If you have an issue with the advice we may be able to offer device but any customer care and or network related issue cant be resolved here and its kind of ridiculous to think so.
you do know the sprint has forums of their own if you wanted to demand assistance...coming here and demanding someone 'from' sprint to tend to your need is a pretty ***** move if you ask me.....especially without giving any information about your problem....
just my $.02
Oh thats great, everyone can ***** this guy out for making a demanding thread yet my post gets deleted.....

This is a disgrace. Anyone who exploits the hard work and unwaged development of Android/Linux on the Hd2 should know that you are only doing the community harm by discouraging devs to continue progress. You basically stole their knowledge and are hawking it off as yours. Disguisting.
This isn't the first time this had happened. Its hapoened like 5 other times thati know of. Yeah your right its messed up.
I wish there was a way to reply to his auction and scream "FRAUD!".. or give the seller negative feedback over and over again.
Damn... why didnt I think of doing that and making money... lol
Just kidding... Yeah the guy selling instructions is an asshole for sure
THUMBS DOWN!
have a look at craigslist.

I just filed a report against the item as being copyright infringement.
What an idiot, he got that picture from XDA too. I think its from mattc?
i've filed a report as well. What a low life scumbag. Wish we knew his handle on XDA so he can be banned for life.
he should send to death sentence!
ive reported it as well.
i think the best way to fix this is for everyone to file a simple report of violation of android GPL. and intellectual property.
if ebay gets enough reports of similar auctions, it will go on their banned list. unless you can prove you programmed it.
Damn why didn't I charge my friends for spending 3 hours on installing android onto their phones.
Report submitted.
Yah. I think everybody should report this..I just reported too!!!
This kind of person should be banned from xda forever!!!
Sometimes you learn more form the seller when you're in contact with him.
maybe his mailaddress is a part of his account on XDA so you'll be able to track him down.
Stay in contact as long as you can, that way you will gather more information.
This is indeed a dis-craze to all hard working developers, accept when the seller is one of the developers hare at XDA...
to all developers, don't stop because of some stupid ass, your work is really appreciated!

I don't know if it's a coincedence, but there's a user here at XDA that has the EXACT same name as the e-Bay seller.
Link to his profile is: mv1luv
I think it's time to get the mods onto this
Grtz,
Degake
p.s. The hometown of the XDA member (Bakersfield) is also the same at the e-Bay item location.... so I guess we got him

Time for the Mod's to get involved and sort this matter out, reported it to e-bay but they aren't really going to do anything which is sad, but the mods here can!
Unbelievable! Just out of curiosity I did a search for "HTC HD2 Android" on eBay and there are several other no-conscience sellers peddling instructions on how to install Android. Outrageous! One seller "alpleco" out of Long Island has sold over 600+ of these instructions at almost $2 each.
There's just no shame!
Just got my Xoom from this deal!!!!
1 day shipping delivered before noon as promised. =)
Hope you all get yours soon too!
Also, I forgot to place the order for the free case. What are the odds I can call CS and have it shipped since I purchased during the promo? Anyone else have luck? And what wording did you use if your were successful. Thanks!
And to the guy who posted the thread about this deal - Thanks, you really did help this community flourish. =)

No offense, but you couldn't have posted this in one of the 25% threads such as this? As to your case question, it has been asked in that thread the I just posted. One person was able to, some others were not able to get the case, you can call and try, but you already got an awesome deal.
40 pages + of thread and information is hard to salvage, but appreciate the proper post etiquette.
Just wanted to let everyone know they are shipping and getting received. If mods feel this thread is useless then feel free to delete =)
Thanks for the know about the case. I wasn't going to push it but thought I'd ask.
FedEx or UPS??? I'm still waiting.. 2 Day delivery ordered on the 24th..

Why don't you use some of the $200 you saved to buy a $30 case? The people who got in on this deal seem so ungrateful.

I talked to one yesterday, they'll do it. If they say no ask for a supervisor, but you shouldn't have a problem.
Okay, I was able to file a complaint through a channel that not only has allowed me to order the Nexus 6 I wanted, but also have it sent via free overnight FedEx to be delivered tomorrow... yes, on Saturday.
I was going to post how I did this, but felt it [maybe] unfair to the people who made it happen for me.
So, this leads me to the question: Of all of the people trying to buy this phone, who would truly benefit this community if they were able to get one? Also, who would keep this information confidential and not repost it for the whole community?
Now, I'm not saying this is guaranteed, but from the time I initiated contact, I had a call back within a few short hours, and was able to place an order over the phone.
Are there any developers who have been unable to get it, who would undoubtedly do some serious good by having one?
I hope no one takes this the wrong way. I have zero developing skills, and this is just a tiny way for me to do something for someone deserving since I've benefited so much from this community.
I see what you are trying to do OP.... Might be best to just send a pm next time

Thank you! Ask him if he's willing to wait or if he wants to go this route and I'll PM him. Hell, I've used his kernels more than any other.
@franciscofranco is waiting for his to arrive, @rascarlo cant afford one. and he is a great deserving rom developer.
This thread breaks no rules that I am aware of.
If you do not like it, do not read it.
I understand what the OP is getting at.
He has not solicited thanks or donations, if he does then report the thread.

I cannot afford to buy a 2nd one for someone, but am willing to share how I got mine. I know franco is direct and upfront with his words. I don't want to offend him by offering him this info. But if anyone who knows him wants to let him know to contact me, I couldn't think of many more deserving than him.
Edit: thread was cleaned.
MOD EDIT @gregbradley
Please watch your language. If this thread goes pear shaped I will close it. I am watching
I agree with offering the info to Franciscofranco cause he makes a hell of a kernel and keeps it well updated! I'm sure he'd like to get started.
I'd contact CarbonROM or Slim. Last I heard Carbon said they'd only support n6 if they won a phone as no maintainers had money for it.

Please understand what the OP is saying
He does not have a phone to give away
He just knows a way for people to get hold of one quickly, you still have to buy it. He is not selling his own phone.
This isnt even really ground breaking news, all he did was complain up the chain of command and like most execs they dont want to deal with it so in order to make the client happy they just take care of them. You mention they told you not to post online, yet you are doing just that. I honestly dont see the point of this thread, why dont you PM a few of the top developers and see if someone is interested. Its like you are playing a game and somehow you have to be entitled to get your super top secret information.
If it were up to me i would contact someone from Slim team, CM team, PA team, and OMNI team as those 4 are actually doing real development and dont just kang/piece together bits and pieces from every other rom out there.

Well, you have every right to feel that way, even as wrong as you are. The last thing I need to do is justify anything to you or anyone else. I've got a temper, and it has shown on here, but I'm not game player. Like others have said, if you don't like the post, leave it alone.
Well OP im no Dev but if youre willing to shed some light on just how you managed that you'd be the coolest person on xda.
why the sudden change of heart though? you originally said you'd share the info if the phone did indeed ship now you wanna have some sort of vote on who to give the info to? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57088617&postcount=6033

Yes, you're correct. I was overly excited and hadn't had time to think about it. And then.... I thought about it and how awesome this person on a small team was to me, and decided against it.
I have no problem with this thread being closed. It's obvious aside from the few who "got" what I was trying to do and posted suggestions, the rest have just whined or bickered on here.
