I was browsing on the forums and I came up with people complaining more about people not using the search than helping.
I'm just guessing but I would say that there is about a 2:1 (for every 1 non-search thread there is about on average 2 people in the thread complaining about not searching) ratio of complainers to clueless people. It seems people spend more time complaining about people not searching then just helping out. Why waste posts complaining about searching.
So for all you search nazis plz settle down, help out and move on.
For people who don't live on the forums its not as easy as you make it out to be to find everything. I agree people need to atleast try.

FORUM RULES
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
It is rule number #1 though.

What's a ROM?
What's a Flash?
What's Task 29?
What a thread? Is it edible?
What of a donut?
What do you mean "I have to READ and SEARCH before posting"?
And so forth
Hey I know you...you sold me a phone

You needed a second member complaining, to get the 2 to 1 ratio.
I'm here to help you: go search a bit.
On a more serious note: yes you are right. That's why I read the forums I'm interested, and only post on Off-Topic forum.

So my post wasn't help full? Then steer me in the right direction. How could I help a pushy arrogant person that ignores rule #1 and is also to lazy too use google or the integrated free xda search engine with many options?
good day.
the main problem is there is that many crap useless threads being made daily it does make it harder to search so i can see where some people cant get the searching bit working, Like if you are new here you're first language isn't English and you need to search you're going to struggle;e, yes i agree a little searching should be made first, what really bugs me is please help thread titles that doesnt help at all, at lest lie and said you are struggling using the search make it look like you have made an effort
I understand with you guys about searching I'm not trying to down that. Just the fact it seems counter productive with all the posts about "omg SEARCH first omg!!"
Sorry this was just a rant from yesterday and why I did it in "Off topic". I'm over it now lol. Back to learning how to root.

I no exactly what you mean I am guilty of saying it to people, but like in my previous post i can see both sides lol
new to the forum need help my sprint hero is 1.5 i want to root it and overclock but i do want to keep sprint tv and sprint nav thnx
Have u read up on the process of rooting.?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
yes i did but all seemed geared at the 2.1 update so can i root or do i update to 2.1 then proceed
There are directions to root 1.5 and 2.1 everywhere here you just have to give some actual effort to look for them. I'd suggest going to geekfor.me and use the kitchen to autoroot it.
Why root 1.5 when your going to upgrade to 2.1 anyway? Why not just RUU to 2.1 and then root it?
OMG...what is going on...SEARCH! ALSO there is a Q&A section specifically for these problems. This is the ANDROID DEVELOPMENT section. Im not trying to be mean but please read the rules about posting before posting.
On a side note i would suggest using the universal 1 click or REGNAW's method.
dude chill at the moment i have no problem, n01un0 answered my question thnx anyway, i searched i preformed the steps and i think i'm rooted now i'm wanna try ZenHeroFX 2.1 Lite

I completely disagree. There are a mere 3 stickies in the Development forum, of which one clearly, in the title, says "Don't post questions here!" This was a question, which directly violates the rules. Not only that, it's the most basic question of all (how to get started) which is also answered in the stickies. Why should we make any effort to help the OP (and many others on these boards) when they obviously made no effort of their own?
If you don't agree with me and feel the "purpose" of XDA is to baby everyone, I'd encourage you to check out some of the other sections that still have some activity and mods who care. You will find them to be a drastically different experience.
I'm sorry but clearly he had to open the main cdma hero forum part. He SHOULD HAVE seen Q&A. Then decides to post in development. I'm not trying to be a prick I'm following The rule's. Like above..if he would of bothered of making an effort he would have seen the sticky saying don't post questions. I just feel when some blatantly makes no effort to search or follow rules they should not be handed something. And I did answer his question if u guys would have looked at my post.
Regaw sorry for spelling ur name wrong man..my apologies.

No problem man, simple mistake.
I do like the rules that are set here (with the stickies and such) but I do remember the feeling of just finding xda (which was my first forum experience) and how overwhelmed and confused I was. I did mess up in the beginning, with my posting, but I was never bashed. I know you guys weren't bashing him (well I hope not) but you have to realize that he won't make this mistake again, it was a simple mistake. I didn't even know what a "sticky" was when I joined in January haha.

Everyone cool your jets. you got rockets in your pockets? I see nothing wrong with what t12icky0 originally posted. He answered the questioned and suggested what everyone else would have suggested--searching & reading more.
I also have to agree. There are other forums obviously specifically for questions or general talk along with the sticky here saying that as well. I'm not bashing OP. It just never hurts to do your best searching for your answer, and if you come up short, post.
Also let's chill with the foul language.
Everyone have a great day. Thread closed.

I'm going to have to agree, you need to take a chill pill man.
I'm all about showing people the right way of doing things and correcting mistakes, but there's a decent way of going about it, and a totally uncalled for way... You seem to choose the latter more often than not.
You aren't the forum mod here, if you want to be, apply to be... Otherwise, calm down a second and remember that we where ALL green at one point, and no one is born knowing what you think you know.

I second that. Also there is the effective way of doing things. I simply dont respond to those who post in wrong section and report to mod for move or deletion. Lashing out only grows a hostile enviroment and achieves nothing. Also and i know that from mod/admin experience pisses mods off to do massive bans to all
I third (don't moan at me for the comment at the bottom of my first post)

Awesome! But you forgot #5. I guess it's better to stop at for then to have the list go on two long. Make that 7. : - )
Make that 8.
You can state that its in the wrong section and also point them in the right direction you know? You can be helpful and advise people where to post simultaniously!
Just remember, everyone was a n00b when they first came to xda. At some point, someone has felt the same as you do towards, well, everyone. How did that make you feel? Stupid?
Sent from inside a whale.
Get SuperOneClick v1.8beta under @ Android Apps and Games. It can root and/or market fix. Read my post towards the end for instructions on how to make it work.

two things:
1) there isn't a CWM available for GB yet
2) do you *really* think development was the place to post this? as it is a question and we have a section labeled "questions and answers"
Wasnt sure as there isn't a q&a for gb, but was directly rom related. I have no problem with mods moving. I actually wish they would help decide this for future posters.

Thanks for quick response.
i think its totally funny seeing smartass replies from supposed "senior" members. there no reason for it at all. i'm pretty sure some people just have really, really low self esteem and not many friends. Mommy doesn't count either. if you ever need any advice man just pm me and you won't have to deal with the bs. XDA is all about helping. thats exactly the point of it. good luck.
I appreciate that. I may end up doing that before I finally up on a GB rom.
I'm not upset about ^^. I understand his pov. I just ask he understands mine. It's kind of a grey area until a Q&A sticky is made for GB, or we start having roms appear in dev. However he did answer my question, to which I expressed my thanks, as I do to you.

He was asking about GB ROM. We all flash at our own risk. I thought it was easier to flash Continum than when I first tried CM7. Thank goodness I bought a JIG. I have to admit that since I have the GB bootloaders now, I am slightly nervous to one click back to stock.

1)Not that new, just asking questions.
2) I've already flashed JVB, Juwe's, and finally C5 (b1,b2 and b3).
3) I, as do everyone else here, appreciate your help. However, please don't assume you know someones ability level, without asking. I realise I am not able to develop a rom our kernel. But I have read and experienced enough through this website to know that 20 questions before is better then "oh crap I bricked my phone now what".

sorry but 50 viewers and still no help?
Did you do a backup beforehand? If so, restore it. If not, i would get another Rom and try again.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA Premium App
no i didnt have any backup.what do u mean by getting another rom?im stuck with the blank screen and can't do nothing now.
Try shuttig it off, charging the battery, put in download mode (even if you only see a black screen some people have reported they can flash) and install your stock or another rom. If this doesn't work, you're screwed...
If you didn't check and see if you had locked bootloaders then this may have caused the fail in ODIN...

There is plenty of help if you look for it. People tend to get sick of repeating themselves so its best to read the topics that have already been created on this exact issue.
Using search function and searching topic titles for "bricked" will give you plenty of help.

Guys, don't derail another thread with this pety stuff... The kid needs help and is panicking, and we can't prevent noobs from flashing, so we can 1) tell them the answer (if we know it) our 2) show them how to find it.

I explained that there is already info on this exact subject and it would be much more beneficial to him if he searched for it, not only would he learn something along the way but he wil find much better info then he would in this topic.
Im not the only person who feels this way, Its just that im one of teh few who makes it known.
