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.
(I have searched xda, Google and the cyanogenmod forums with no dice)
Both the area on the notification panel that normally says Sprint and the lockscreen now say "roaming indicator on", the "fixes " I found for the problem have done nothing to help me and as of right now I cannot use 3g and 75% of my calls drop. Can anyone help?

Perhaps this better belongs in the threads pertaining to cm6.1 as opposed to posting a rom specific question in general as there it would receive better attention from people knowing how to deal with it as well as less clutter for those not using the specific rom you are asking a question about.
I was trying to figure out the best place to post this, and it seemed like more of a general thing than something that would go in the cm thread, if a mod feels it needs to be moved, then by all means go ahead.

I wasn't trying to be rude but I assume your question will be better answered in the thread about it.
Problem that brief that on the hero was a bad eri.xml. But I don't know if that is still a useful answer.

Yeah the problem is in eri. Will fix for next release.

you are in download mode. what do u wanna do? and what did u do?
Dude, this is the development forum for posting dev projects, not for n00b support. That is what the search button is for aswell as the Q&A subforum.
Also if you expect people to help you need to be more clear about what you have done and what you are trying to do and not just simply stick a oversized image in your topic.
Your problem is that you have powered the phone into download mode (used for flashing roms), You ahve done this by holding Volume down and power key at same time. Just hold power button until it powers down device.

We really do. Or at least a back up mod who's active.
Sent from my mind. Or a Galaxy Tab
My power button is showing symptom of Dying anytime soon. without having to risk an unresponsive screen after a press on power button, Im looking for another route to access Recovery WITHOUT having to long press the POWER button..
Urgently waiting for reply.
Regards.
EDIT:
Mod please consider close this topic to save XDA's bandwidth.
if you use clk instead of magldr, you can enter recovery using rom manager (i think? never used it myself)
dont try rom manager from magldr, it will destroy your recovery install.

if you download terminal emulator from the market and type:
SU (enter)
reboot recovery (enter)
it will also work.
But i believe you must need root access. cause you will get "operation not permitted" if you arent
Secondly, there is always ADB. If you are on windows its easy as pie to set up. just look here and then type "adb reboot recovery" and that will work as well. good luck!

Yup that actually works! The only downside was need to input selection everytime i reboot the phone. But that's better than having to risk the power button failure!
Thank you so much friend! And that's what i called REAL HELP instead of those who trolling himself with useless/pointless replies like a clown.

There's no need to be rude. First of all, he clearly helps people judging by the fact that he has OVER 800 THANKS. You can hardly do that without being either a recognised dev or someone who really knows their stuff and contributes. You clearly don't understand what trolling is judging by your last post, and have you ever thought of the simple explanation that he came to the thread to give that specific advice, saw samsamuel's post and just decided to confirm that what he said would work? Now, you're undoubtedly going to call me a troll as well, despite having no knowledge of what trolling is, but I'm not. I'm simply a person with some common sense.

Hi Nigeldg, Does the "what he said lol" phrase does help in any sorts of way? To my knowledge OVER 800 THANKS user doesn't have any privileges to be on top of anyone and simply replied "what he said lol" without even trying to help. Now that really doesn't make any sense and with your common sense, I supposed that you are clearly understand the situation before you trying to help someone.
Whatever it is, I'm a happy man now with problem solved.
Mod can close this topic to save little bandwidth.

Think about it this way, people often will reply to a solution which they have tried with '+1 to this', showing that they have tried it and it works. Same goes for 'what he said lol', it shows you that that solution works. I never said that having 800+ thanks makes you better than someone, but it most certainly shows that a person is probably worthy of posting in the forums, and that they probably know what they're doing.
Anyway, glad to see you got your problem sorted out, and I realise I'm a bit behind here replying to an older post, but I just thought I should make myself clear as well
