I want to try and load a new rom on my wing. Which one do you guys think the Wing can benefit from the most? One problem I have now is that the reception is horrible. That's the main reason why I want the change. I will be honest I have no idea what I'm doing. Is it the ROM I want to change or the radio version? Can someone point me on the right way? Thnx in advance!
its the radio that is messing up your reception.
Okay. Are there any tutorials I can use to change it? BTW The phone has ROM version 4.26.531.1 WWE and radio version 03.21.90. Can you suggest a radio to me? I have no idea what I should be looking for let alone how to accomplish this.
As far as there are NO turorials...you should NEVER change your ROM. It is not good for your device...you can brick it...and it looks ugly with custom colours...
hahahahahahahahahaha
READ THE FIRST POST IN HERALD MOBILE 6 AND THE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know Papamopps I understand you want everyone to stop posting questions you've answered a gillion times, but you don't have to be ignorant about it. I can not see well enough and if I can't come in this forum and ask a question just to have someone like you humiliate me... well that's pretty ****ed up man. I'm sure you get it. Learn some manners. Thanks for the link.
Hahahahahaa. I am ****ing you up?? hahahaha..
I have manner - i answered!!!
I just could have delete the thread...hahaha
COme on. If YOU make a MISTAKE you cannot blaim other who make fun of you!! It is a cruel world!
I understand pappamops, because if you read a little bit you can answer your question by yourself. and i suggest you, as pappamops always did it, to read a lot in this forum before flashing. bricking your phone is much more easy than flashing it successfully. if you've read in this forum than you will see that your question(s) are yet answered.

I just got my g1 and I keep hearing about root. What is it and where can I get it?
Obvisouly I know. My point is, are we all sick of posts like this? Especially when the person doesn't search? Could a mod please make another forum for noobs so they can post these types of thread? Somewhere where they won't get flamed and somewhere where noob posts won't clutter the forums? Something like "xda-developers > dream > noob" or something to that effect?
I know this is the wrong place for this and that it is way out of topic, but the reason why I posted it here was because this is where these noob posts take place and surely regurlars will agree with me. Please do this for the greatewr good of the forums?
Thank you for your time and please respond if you agree.
Also maybe a spell check feature? (See last post haha)
do you really think that the 'noobs' would actually get help from the noob forum?.. think about that for a sec

Im not so sure thats the best approach.. Why is such a big deal that a so called noob ask questions, to ensure that he or she doesn't screw there phone up. And i agree if they would just do some research and read stickies,etc. then they would learn something. But if their noobs, then they are probably noobs to the site, and lets face it although this is by far the best forum available for android development its not the easiest to navigate for NOOBS. And if noobs posting noob questions pertaining to android development means that the forum & Community strengthen, then so be it. And Cbowely lets face it some of todays noobs will be tom elite developers, and they are who we depend on.....

If you want root, you will need a shovel, and have to dig and careful not to break the stems. lol, i could not resist.
"root is the user name or account that by default has access to all commands and files on a Linux or other Unix-like operating system. It is also referred to as the root account, root user and the superuser. "
Assuming you are coming from Windows OS environment, Root is like the Administrator account.
How can you get it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
I am noob. Most of my post are thanks for this. Awsome thing that made my phone run better. Or if I have a slight issue with somthing I may post a qestion. And I have had a thread locked befor...that thought was a good qestion but lokking back it wasnt ... but anyways.
I would like see a noob section. I basicaly leech off of this site and if I could help some noobs out I would be more than happy to so the real devs could get stuff done and work stuff out.
I am not saying that noobs asking questions is a bad thing, but I DO think there COULD be a better place for it than the developer section. I do believe the noobs would actually get help in the noob section because some people like helping noobs out. I know I would as well as a lot of other people I see in threads that help out noobs, I believe those type of people would enjoy helping the noobs.
Damn I can't believe that I am posting here because I don't want no Enemies, I have gotten tremendous help from this forum, not only with making my phone 100 times better but I also gained a boat load of knowledge in the process. I am not one that would start a thread unless I was at the last possible step I could be after long hours of reading and reading and seraching and through this process I have even been able to help out others....
but come on... someone posts a question cause they are having an issue that they need to get corrected with their equipment and wham they get roasted by useless reply's telling them to "use search" one after the another, after the another, after another when all someone has to do is provide the answer and tell them they could have found it had they searched... or they could have just given a link to the answer and the thread stops... like this thread I came here to see if I could help because the topic is "new g1 please help" this is about as useless as someone starting a thread on which color G1 should I use...
damn just wasted 15 minutes of my life to type this... remember people that everyone that started here had to post their first message, hence we were all "noobs" once when we started as well....
Again I don't want make ANY enemies I just want to make my phone the envy of everyone that sees it(like yesterday when I bought my daughter her G1 and I was typing on my on screen keyboard and they guy at the T-mobile store says hey you got your update, and said no I got my cupcake and man it sure tates good) and if I can provide a link to help steer someone in the right direction so be it...
end of my venting...
peace!
Exactly my point. I'm not *****ing about people making noob posts asking for help, but the fact is they get bombarded with "use the search button" or "this topic has been covered". I am not saying people SHOULDN'T post help threads, but there isn't a place for it.
My point: There SHOULD be a place for people to ask for help.. like a noob forum. Combing through mostly off topic threads, like the rom threads, can take a while and may not be helpful for noobs who do not understand what an spl or fastboot or dalvic cashe is. So with a noob forum, there would be a place to ask: "I succefully rooted, but the instructions say spl, and my english is not very good, so I am having trouble understaing".
This would help
1. Un-clutter the forums
2. From keeping large threads from going off topic
3. Noobs find they want easier by just asking
I mean I agree that asking a simple question that would take a sentence or less to answer would be easier than searching a crap load of threads for hours to find an answer. If I didn't know what an spl was, and I searched, a lot of threads come up, but not many that explain what an spl is. It could take DAYS to find the answer, when someone could just easily easily answer what an spl is.
Again I am not *****ing about noob posts!! Sometimes they need to be asked. It is impossible for a noob to get simple questions answered without spending hours researching.
I believe a noob forum would benefit us all.
Also the topics could be formated:
Help: phone looping
When problem is resolved:
[Solved] phone looping
everyone is concern about noobs cluttering up fourms with "help o bricked my phone" post yet there is at least 3 of these "remove noobs post" posts...kinda makein the problem worse if u ask me....but hey im still a noob myself so what do u know...

Honestly, most of the time you have to wait 20 minutes till you get an answer in Q&A in my experience, just be patient and don't make un-necessary thread in a forum that's about development.
EDIT: He isn't being a douche, he's being a person who actually respects forum rules, it's like laws, but of course like in society we give you people second chances and refuse to flame too badly

So I'm guessing if I don't get a response from a company I can just barge into an office and grab someone to talk to me about my problem?
Just let this thread close please.

did it for you
Well it's pretty much your fault, as you should have known this would've happened on ANY forum.(unless it's some Religious Forum)
But, fine I'm feeling generous today. You only need to wipe and flash the Death SPL, not the radio as that could potentially brick the phone.
so basically
1.wipe phone
2.flash death spl
3.flash rom
Have fun breaking more forum rules, sorry mods for this thread.
malaeus said:
what kind of logic..... whatever this is just becoming troll bait.
if someone would have had the decency to answer my question to begin with and not flame all over the place like a bunch of immature morons, this would have been done already.
sorry for posting on your rag day, but just change your tampon and if you dont have the answer, dont clutter it with pointless posts....... talk about let it die, just let this get one good answer and the thing would have been deleted by now.

I only use iTampon's sorry. And the logic, since when is the internet logical?
Anyways, if you are absolutely SURE you have the radio, flash the spl.

I've been craving a thread to get wrecked...
malaeus said:
well you could have just as easily given me the answer i needed and mods would have erased this. if i had the ability to erase it myself i would. and if people would actually answer things in the Q&A section i would have gladly posted there. but its overfilled with idiotic questions that have been in the FAQ for years now. mine however has not been stated on the forum before. as i am experienced with forums and unlike many others here i know where the SEARCH button is.
but after searching through many separate forums as well as googling it, and still not receiving an answer, i figured posting this directly to someone in the direct developing community would give me the most experienced answer.
thank you for your time, and go douche somewhere else.

This is the problem. People ask the same questions over and over and it is extremely annoying to have to sort through all of the nonsense.This is impossible to solve since most of us are selfish and want what we want. The answer to your question is in the threads about upgrading the SPL.
malaeus said:
First things first, i know this should go in Q&A, however in my experience not many devs frequent that forum. so i would pose my question into the dev forum. MODS feel free to remove this thread after i have received an appropriate answer, thank you very much.
i have read all the wonderful posts about Hard SPL and haykuro's death SPL.
i have successfully made the transition to haykuro's death SPL myself, however. a friend of mine has a G1 as well, i have rooted their phone. and put the latest cyanogen mod on it. i have NOT updated the SPL for cyanogen (because it was optional, and they didnt want a chance of brick)
NOW they want me to try out a new mod for them on their phone. this new mod requires the death SPL, however they already have the LATEST radio 26I.
am i able to simply flash the new haykuro death spl like anything else? with no issues seeing as how the phone already has the latest radio (thanks to cyanogen build)?
i cant risk bricking his phone as i have no cash to replace it.

I don't wish to offend anyone here but, as a senior member you should have guessed this thread would annoy quite a few people. The fact that you're aware that this was posted in the wrong forum is probably worse.
This is the exact reason a QnA forum was made, to stop this forum getting cluttered with questions.

then post in the right section already! or kindly pm someone! or just google it! You don't pay for our help so we don't care if you leave the forums!
i don't know if this will help any of you dedicated developers, but i pulled a bootlog from the (ugh, recently un-)rooted rogers dream i have with osmonitor. i can't make too much sense of it, so maybe you will have better luck?
First hint what is a sentance called if you add a ? to the end of it....

Wow, did you even read what they said, or did you just look for a question mark and post a generic response? No question was asked other than a rhetorical one... Seriously, this forum has far too many wannabe mods. To be honest, that was a pretty rude response considering they've done nothing wrong at all but trying to help in development.
Sorry I can't actually help with that log, I just had to say something, this is getting out of hand o.0.

Guess is a higher geek count then in most places dont let it get to you tho.
well, now that is what I call a rather rude response. I posted that at 9 pm, and wasn't really too coherent. I'm also surprised that it offended you that much that you had to start a personal attack on me; Seeing as it wound up buried on page two or three by this morning. I posted that boot log as I noticed something when I was looking at it, that it ignored the previous radio versions, and thought that might be a clue for someone who knows about the roms to actually do something constructive. Not that reminding me about the rules of grammar and such wasn't constructive.
Moved as not Android Development.
Im not sure if this can be done with an unrooted fone but if you have Android SDK then get a logcat.
The Devs can understand this much better I think.
So I think I'm doing something wrong.
I made a Nandroid backup in Recovery mode, and thankfully I did because I tried flashing a theme and I got boot loop. So I went back into recovery mode, went to Backup/Restore, Restore Nandroid, and selected the latest backup I made. It goes through the process of restoring (with the flashing dots at the bottom) and says "Restore Complete". I then hit back, and select Reboot Now.
Then it hits the fan. I get stuck at the green "HTC" screen. Nothing happens at all. I let it sit for half an hour and nothing. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? I don't know what to do any help would be really appreciated! Thanks everyone.
Brian
Try doing a full wipe from recovery and then restoring. If that doesn't work then you will probably have to reflash your rom and redownload your apps. BTW this should be in Q&A. Hope this helps!
Hah, that did it! Thank you very much for the quick reply greatly appreciated!

calm down. just report the thread as in the wrong section. we were all noobs at some point and there's no sense in getting angry at people who don't do things 'exactly right' according to your standards. Chillax breh.
Look dude, they guy asked a simple question and I provided a simple answer. To be honest, you've been flaming every single person that posts in the wrong forum, not to mention you are being rude about it too. You haven't contributed anything but negative comments. I'm here to help in any way that I can, even if my help is being put towards topics in the incorrect sub-forum.
To the OP, the only thing you've done wrong is misinterpret what "Development" means. Please post in Q&A or general so this jerk will leave everyone alone.
</RANT>
I admit yes im flaming people lately because im tired of people not paying attention to the rules or even bother searching the forums(like this person). This is a very basic and known question if they would have just searched.
I dont care if they are new or not if they didnt see the HUGE STICKY THREAD saying dont post questions in this section, then something is wrong, either they need glasses or they are just plain stupid. i would be more then willing to contribute if the thread is posted in the correct section and if they had bothered to even search beforehand(which its obvious this person did not).
Questions belong in the Q&A section not in development. you guys can call me a **** or watever but im just tired of going to the development to see multiple questions of the same crap. If they bothered looking or searching also i wouldnt be such a pain. Just cause you guys think im being mean doesnt make the forums become less cluttered up also. If you let 1 person make a Q&A thread saying oh its ok he is new then there will be 50 more threads of "NEW" people doing it. Im sorry but rules are rules.
MODS i apologize for being like this
