yeah...and posting in the wrong forum is not going to make you any friends either.

1) This belongs in "Questions & Answers" -- not in Development. The mods will, very soon I'm sure, be moving the post.
2) T-Mobile has no power over the shape Android takes. HTC and Google do -- T-Mobile does not. Google, despite the C&D to Cyanogen, have publicly stated that they support ROM development. The current Cyanogen version is in fact in compliance of all distribution rights.
3) There are a few "Read Me" or "Etiquette" type posts you'll find at the top of the forums. Browse them -- it'll be rewarding and will help you "fit in" better here at XDA-Developers.com. Every 'group' develops customs. Those posts are primers on our customs; and remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
4) Enjoy!

Rooting a New Rogers HTC Dream

Hey all,
So rather... inconveniently my Dream has died and the replacement that was sent to me is already flashed with the new retard-o firmware.
I have been reading and re-reading everything on the forums and think I understand what I need to do to get root access again, but I want to ensure I am going down the right path.
If I understand correctly I need to create a gold card. Is this right? Is there another way I should go about this? Can someone break down what i need to do now (or point me in the right direction)?
Much appreciated, and yes I do realize all this info is already out there, but these threads are full of pages and pages of people complaining about rogers. While I can understand, finding this exact information is now near impossible because of the flood of off topic posts. I don't my phone to die... again.
Thanks in advance.

you are asking in the wrong section
questions go in the QnA section - and even then, this question has been asked and answered numerous times

funny...i have just found the answer in 3 seconds flat by googling "root rogers dream"
little tip - try it some time

Moved as not Android Development.

First I already made it clear that I was having trouble picking out the information and am looking just for some simple confirmations. I apologize for it being in the wrong spot, but really did you need to spam the thread with two posts just to be a jerk?
If you are going to gripe about my post then perhaps you should follow the rules and not uselessly double post for emphasies. Do as I say not as I do?
And to be clear, yes Ive read the 82 page long how to post, its so convoluted and filled with whining that I am just looking for some clarification. Its called looking for help, I was under the impression that is what this forum was for.

Hey, this is the guide I used to root mine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573
Don't know if it will work with the retard-o-rom though. I didn't upgrade. Just told them it was done, they asked for the build number and I told the technician "Ohh my phone restarted itself sorry....Just need a moment....What number should I be looking for?" He then told me the number...I waited a few seconds and then said..."yup, that's the one" lol. He said okay and did the network refresh and i have my data back.

Thank you for your response TheDong, unfortunately the latest ROM does not allow for fast booting or flasrec. I am under the impression that I will need to downgrade my phone first, but this is where I am a bit sketchy on the process and if is in fact the right step. Or the path to having another broken phone.
So just to be clear; I have a new rogers HTC Dream with the most recent Rogers ROM. My data is active as I have the latest ROM (forced upon me because its a replacement phone.) I have previously rooted a phone, but that phone was replaced by rogers due to a hardware defect.
This is something that is going to start coming up a lot, I imagine. Rogers does not ship the phone without the latest firmware. I have yet to find something that is clear on the post-force upgrade solution.

Hi Soundwav,
Double-posting occasionally happens when the forum is slow to respond and a member clicks Submit Reply a second time assuming that the first submit did not register the first time around.
Regards,

Yeah, think you're right. But try to understand that there are lots of new users asking questions that have been asked lots of times... Allthough, i think your question ist legitimate.
And: garok89's is no accidental doubleposting.
But anyways, keep cool. Hope, you will find adequate help, dude.

[Q] Non-rooted Update for AT&T Cappy?

I posted this in the General forum & it was promptly closed & I was asked to search in this forum for an answer. Well, that didn't go so well as all I came up with was numerous posts of how to root my phone, which is exactly what I don't want to do. So, hopefully this will not be closed out as well.
I must admit that I tired of chasing AT&T & Samsung as to when the Gingerbread update would be available awhile back.
Then I saw an ad on TV that I'm pretty sure was for AT&T but another Android-based phone & they were hyping that the phone was equipped w/Android OS 4.0 so that it now rivaled the 'iCrap' phone.
Would someone please set me straight on which legit OS's have or are soon to be released () for the Cappy, or any new Samsung phone at that!
Thanks!

As far as Gingerbread for the Captivate well, Rogers released it for their i896 not to long ago, and so all we can do is hope for at&t to release it for us soon.
That's really all we know as far as the Captivate is concerned. This has been discussed over and over and that is why your previous thread was closed by the Forum Moderator.
As far as ICS...
Here ya go... http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...ream-sandwich-for-galaxy-s-and-tab-after-all/
As far as other Samsung phones, it would probably be better to find info on that through Google as opposed to here in the Captivate Forums.

I just googled it and found an entire page of articles in the past month or so with exactly what you're looking for. So so so much easier than making a post.

Thanks much for the link, which was quite heavily redacted )). Your point is well taken about just doing a Google search than posting here. Besides, I don't need someone telling me to go searching through the forum posts as my question has been asked many times before. I used to have a friend connected w/XDA that I could PM for scoops & ask questions like I posted here & he was always happy to help. Unfortunately, he's gone missing!

[Q] Galaxy S

Good Evening:
This is my first time and first post here. I've gotten pretty frustrated and am hoping someone can help me out? I have a Galaxy S phone, model number SHW-110S; firmware: 2..2; kernel: 2.6.32.9; build version: FroYo.SK22. I've been all over the net and can't seem to get the users manual specific to this particular phone. So, I have a number of questions? Let's start with this one: where can I get/download a users manual specific to this phone? If it becomes too difficult to find, then my next question would be: Can I upgrade this phones O.S.? Now, there are still many more questions, but I think that's enough to get started in the right direction.
Thank You:
Rick

Hi, ive been lurking a long time and I believe that your model of the Galaxy is a Korean version.
I found this page about turning the SHW-110S into an I9000 model. I can't post the link since i have less than 10 posts so just look up Turn SHW-110S to GT-I9000 (Samsung Galaxy S) on Google
I hope it can help you in some way. :good:

Maybe it helps asking your question in the galaxy s q&a subforum

REPLY TO kishagi:
Afternoon kishagi:
You are correct; it is a Korean make/model. It was with great interest that I read you reply. NO ONE has suggested this maneuver. And keeping with that theme, would it not be best just to upgrade the O.S? As far as I can tell, I can go only as far as Honeycomb 2,3,6(?). Now, should I option for this upgrade, I wonder if I'd be able to activate the FM/TV receiver in the phone? I've done a LOT of searching and believe I've found the answer to the FM question. That is to install a widget called simply "Galaxy S radio widget". However, it seems that widget is defunct(?). So, could you suggest another widget that is comparable and compatible with this phone? And would you know if I'd upgrade whether this widget would still operate in Honeycomb? THANX for responding and my apologies for taking so long to reply!
STAY SHARP:
Rick
ADDENDUM: This has got to be THE most frustrating forums/site I've ever been in!!!! Once you login, just trying to get back to this forum/subforum is a nightmare!! I'm also extremely disappointed by the lack of response/lack of knowledge this supposedly "special forum" delivers. Read the "into" to this forum, it clearly deceives anyone that comes to this forum into thinking their phones issues might be solved. I've not only had so much difficult in trying to start/post a "thread" (hell, most of the time I can't even find the "icon" to tik), once I login, I have one hell of a time even finding/getting into this subforum. I'm not getting/receiving responses to my questions. Clearly, there was no one devoting "'special" attention/service" to this forum as stated in the introduction. IF I find where to unsubscribe I will certainly do so. TO THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS FORUM: You and this supposed forum are a sad joke and a complete waste of time and space.!!!!!

Question

Hello, considering it is now almost mid-2017 anyone that's rooted what do you consider to be the most stable feature filled ROMs available for this device (SM-N910T3)and is a different kernel needed? thank you!

OK well I will take the utter silence I'm getting for my a response to my question to mean :
A) Everyone in the Q&A section is UNrooted and on Stock TW.......(eww)
OR
B)Most people who own this older device don't really check the development forums for it much anymore....
OR
C)Most people who have just bought this device (like myself) or have owned it forever are jumping back and forth betwixt and between a bunch of ROMS with each one offering its own set of errors/problems/unhappiness and are also seeking the answer that I seek.
I KNOW its not because you're just too lazy to type the name of your current ROM/Kernel, I just know its not...
