[Q] Why is search so bad on this website? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just done a search for "XFJP7" and a list came up with no reffrence to XFJP7.
The first result was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
I did a search in that thread for "XFJP7" and nothing was found.
If this site wants users to search the threads for answers then you need to fix your searching.....
You also need to make it easer to find threads users posted in......

http://www.google.com/cse?q=xfjp7&s...ub-2900107662879704:fs7umqefhnf&ie=ISO-8859-1
works for me

Its the method of search at fault if you get no results .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=50931580
ADVANCED SEARCH or configure search is the best method .

¨flashing my blackstone completly back to stock

hi, i wanna get everything back to stock and i need a guide for it, i think i saw one in here somewhere, but i cant find it
Search is your friend...
HTC Blackstone Wiki
as i´ve said: couldnt find it, and yes, i used search, so please link the guide to me
i just looked in the wiki, but cant find it
You'll find it at the end of this post.
solution found, thread closed
Also, this has been asked many times before by other users with people providing links to location (as ClydeB1 did above), so obviously search wasn't very thorough

ask: How To update / Flash

Hello all...
can you guys help me...
Im using Milestone [GSM]
still with original FW, Eclair 2.1 Update 1
I wanna upgrade the FW into froyo [2.2]
the question is, HOW???
thx b4 all...
Why doesn't anyone use the search function/ Google to search such an old topic :/
For Rooting and flashing vulnerable recovery:
http://androidforums.com/milestone-all-things-root/75460-milestone-2-1-update-root-guide.html
Then you can use the OpenRecovery Mod (from G.O.T) to flash 2.2.1....
OK..
Done..
Thx
IMHO this would be a good thing to put in the XDA-Developers wiki, rather than forcing newbies to search through a lot of forum threads which causes confusion. I agree that everybody should be diligent in using the search box before asking questions, but it's still not ideal. Also, sometimes things change from time to time (e.g. GOT releasing updates) and then it's even more confusing to use the forum threads as references for "how to".
I would like to work on it but am busy with a lot of other stuff at the moment...next time I install a new ROM I will try to write a step-by-step wiki article (if anyone else thinks it's a good idea?) or at least put a link in the Milestone/Droid wiki page to the relevant forum threads.

[Q] How to restore SGS to working condition?

Updated: Thought I'd mention I'm on Bell (Canada) i9000m.
After upgrading my Slacker Radio App (not sure if it's related or not) my SGS restarted and went into a boot loop.
I would like to wipe out my phone (kernel and rom) and start off fresh.
I am able to enter download mode but don't know where to go from here.
Please help (even a link to a thread w/ instructions would be greatly appreciated).
Have you tried just going into recovery (vol up + power + home) and doing a factory reset?
Here u r mate, take ur time,(better be safe than sorry) put ur question here & ill try to help

I have voodoo installed and obviously I can not disable it (due to boot loop).
Can I still flash a stock rom/kernel?

alright buddy, look. I appreciate any help you may or may not provide to me at this given moment. but what you are doing, is essentially spamming. I'm asking a question on THIS thread, in relation to my problem. I have searched these forums AS WELL AS the internet itself. And granted, I might have overlooked something. But as a community, thats what these forums do. their purpose is to help those who may have overlooked something or perhaps the solution is yet to exist.
By telling me to search, is more counterproductive than for me to post something and not get a reply.
like I said, I appreciate the help, if any, but its best to be a gent about this sort of thing. no one likes a douche bag on the forums.
EDIT:: Those links were completely useless. they're just links from the top of the SGS general page. I'm not an idiot; I've seen and read these threads before. CLEARLY they were of no help. why else why I be here? -___-

Cos you are to f8888 lazy to search or read the FAQS matey .
thousands posting just like you to lazy to search or learn .
Even to ignorant to read the post i sent that would have enabled you to flash a stock rom and clear your problem .
If it good enough for other users then it should be good enough for somebody that does not understand the basics as they are the basics .

*facepalm* the reason your posts did NOT help, is simply because I have already tried those things. And you u bother searching long enough, you will see these "solutions" have bee posted before. except in more detail. I have searched. Heck Ive spent hours and even days on this problem alone. Not only have I searched, but ive managed to read 95% of all forums in full. and no one seems to have a SOLID solution. WHICH is why I've succumb to asking the question myself.
yes. I have flashed various of pit files with various combos of boot-loaders and roms AS required by some users. I have even done some steps individually AS required by some users. The FARTHEST I've gotten with ANY of these procedures was reaching the custom recovery menu. yet once i got that far, tried doing a factory reset and flashing a ROM, it told me some file was missing. Then I was back to square one.
thanks. but no thanks, JJE. ur "help" seems to relate more to typical "n00b bashing" rather than any sort of help at all.

My poor thread! Stop Hijacking it!
Thanks for the links - I'll give it a shot tonight and report back.

I am unable to determine which Firmware I should use.
SamFirmWare has Firmware for the following regions:
- Europe.
- Asia.
- Turkish.
- Arabic.
- America / Australia.
- Provider.
I am in Canada - should I use America or Provider?

[Q] Somewhere a list/search of all Chainfire roms?

Hi folks
It's my first question, and you will immediately remark that I'm a noob.
But I searched more then a day, but I can't find the answer here, or anywhere on the web..
Every thread where, Chainfire post his su+bb+CWM5 roms, there are only direct download links. But how I can find the newest one for my firmware?
I never saw a complete list of all his roms, where I can choose the actual one (like on sammobile).
If I take this for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784&highlight=aut i can find on the first page the rom "CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_KKA-v5.0-CWM5.zip" which I like to take because I'm from switzerland. But KKA is a bit old. Actually i have installed N7000OXXLA1. So how can I be sure that there isn't a newer CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT from chainfire for me. If I take the link from CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_KKA-v5.0-CWM5.zip which is http://download.chainfire.eu/68/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_KKA-v5.0-CWM5.zip I have no chance the search for a other, never one like CF-Root-SGN_XX_AUT_L... . And to search in all threats with over 100 posts just to see if there is a newer as the one I already found is a pain in the ...
So how did you guys do it?
And if I can't find a chainfire rom for my actual firmware, do I have to downgrade first to KKA install the CF rom, apply the zergrush exploid, install mobile odin pro an then install N7000OXXLA1 again? If I do it that way I will not loose CWM recovery no?
Thanks for anyone who can give me a hint.
Kind regards.
AbuZubayr from switzerland
Not even one reply ?
Was it such a stupit question?
I have one thread per device model I support ...
Once CF-Root thread for SG Note, one CF-Root thread for SGS2, etc
If the kernel isn't listed in that thread, it doesn't exist *unless* I've made a full ROM download, which I very rarely do, and would have it's own thread.
There's no special list, the thread *is* the list.
its all listed in CF's thread. Check 2nd and 3rd posts, you will find LA1 kernel.
Morning guys
Thanks for your answers.
So I'll have a closer look to those threads. Last time I tried to use the search function (only in the specific thread), but with the pattern searched I didn't get a result. Maybe I did something wrong, but I tried with patterns which are written in the thread for sure, because I found the later on while reading page by page.
Anyway, thanks for your work chainfire!
Kind regards.

yeah i have had no luck searching either
Same for me. It would be nice to get this fixed.
I still have the old link in my subscribed forums with no way to get rid of it
I'm hoping search issues are only because search hasn't updated yet
