I tried to go through most of the forum posts but I dont think I could find my answers..
I was wondering if anyone knows what is wrong with my phone. I did an update and now my phone wont work back to normal. All it shows up is the G1 words across a black screen and that is about it.
When I tried to do a reboot it wouldn't work, I can no longer connect my phone with my USB to the computer, so what other options do I have with this matter? I know my phone isn't a brick.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks and good night..
Jennifer
Can you get into recovery etc..
Power + Home or Power + Camera ?
You should be banned from this forum for misleading topic creation, and being about the 500th person today for asking in the wrong forum. GO TO QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS! Because that's where you will get QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!
Seriously, is it really that hard?

I thought this was more appropriate, since according to the OP he searched and couldn't find an answer anywhere on the forums, and this shows that there are in fact thousands of his exact question that have been answered. I like the shock and awe of 57,900 results.

When he said he searched does he mean he, put the query in and just sit there hoping for results or did he actually press the Seach button

Because the Stickies were just too hard, poor soul
seriously....is it difficult to read and understand the rules?
your title is completely misleading and your post is in the completely wrong section
please change the thread title (edit the original post and change the text in the smaller of the two boxes)
and beware the remnants of the wrecking crew - if they find this you will have 40 pages of nonsense in a few minutes

Yeah, I'm sure this thread would be getting wrecked if at least one wrecking crew member was here, I'm an unofficial one, we need someone official
Locked and Deleted!
Thread needs to be locked....
This Thread is distracting to the folks who are searching for useful information.
I agree that this "user" was wrongful in creating this thread in the wrong forum/sub-forum, but let it go.
XDA Ops need to do a little better job in tightening up security as well as cleaning up the forums and promoting more mods....
Thx to all Mods/Ops/Senior Users for all that you do to make it easier for the rest of us.

Yeah we did all start somewhere, I started by reading the stickied threads then learnt how to post in the right forum. And I'm not an ass just an evil twisted soul that can't be arsed with idiots? Anything left your unclear on? If so see point 3 in my sig.
I look foward to laughing and deleting your pm.
wow bro. Im sorry but im the last one who would flame u but i seriously think this is the dumbest and rudest thread i have ever read. There is a whole section of G1 tutorials and people willing to help if u just READ. Either u are blind or you are just dumb.

OP is ridiculous. I've helped many many people (or at least tried) here, via Gtalk or other means. I've had the patience of the saint. But once I've told a guy to download base rom from Cyan's wiki and he asked me to email it to him... I lost it. I have 0 patience now. And for the most part I stay out of threads like this... but this one caught my attention because fails in every aspect:

And of course its threads like these that causes the remarks.. I honestly don't see how you "looked". Though if I werent educated in Android, I probably would've posted without really looking, or searching, either.

There's no way you looked... that thread I linked you to was literally 5-6 threads down the page on which you posted! Next time just search and look before posting a new thread... chances are very high most questions have already been asked. That will save you the embarrassment of getting flamed, and yes it's deserved if you learn from it, and will cut down on clutter and the rash of pointless and/or repeat threads in our beloved forum.
if you have any questions, junior member/member/senior member, it doesnt matter. please search before asking questions. cause more than likely your question has already been asked.....and answered. for the new guys just hit (search this forum) at the top righthand corner of this, or any forum.

I think you need to add things like:
If you want a stable Android 1.6, Then you will want myns warm donut
If you want a stable Android 2.1, Then you will want mssmison's eclair
ect....
Say what things like crobs tutorial is (nand install instructions)
lay it out nicer instead of it being in a paragraph. Put things in one line format. ect..
But this will get lost in the sauce without a sticky.

In both these examples, I don't see the word please, thank you, or even a question mark. You're not asking, you are presuming people are ignorant and rudely telling them to do something they may have already done, without bringing them any closer to a solution. That's why people get upset.
If finding every answer is as simple for you as you imply, you should either help them find an answer or do not contribute.

not the attitude to have, I been here and there on these android threads for a long time now. It would be great if you get this stickied but all of these references have been referenced oh so many times already, It doesn't matter how many times threads like this get posted people are naturally lazy and don't know how to do things for themselves its a trait you have to teach yourself when you are very very young These people are not going to search or read they are going to go for the easy out and just ask all the meanwhile pissing everyone off. I say just go about what you do and ignore the same old same old, let them learn, some lessons need learned the hard way.

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.

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.

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.
