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

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.

If you answer yes to any of this 5 questions...you my friend are a NOOB!!
1. - Do you search the forum or Google for such terms as Flash, ROM and .CAB?
If so...you are a NOOB!
2. - You called customer service for your cell phone provider to ask them what's the model number and device name of your own phone?
If so...you are a NOOB!
3. - Have you posted more than two or three questions on the wrong thread?
If so....you are a NOOB!
4. - You have turned a question on a thread in to a chat session about the weather, your cat or your old girlfriend just to get some replies ?
If so...you are a NOOB!
5. - You are searching the term NOOB on Google as you are reading this?
Well guess what...you are a NOOB!
I started this thread with the intent for people like me that have answered YES to any of all this five questions (or all five!!) not with a yes, but a “Hell Yes” to gather and get support from each other by sharing your personal experiences.
I hope this becomes a nice experiment and a place where you can post your most noobish moment...And remember...It takes a NOOB to Know a NOOB!
Happy posting..............Tell us your history!!

Hi Guys,
It seems that new users can't really do anything on XDA, a bit annoying especially if they have something interesting to add.

My Blog: couchpotatoapps.wordpress.com
That's because most new users don't do crap. You're probably a rare example.
-10 post limit for off-topic!-
Stop sitting around moaning about it and just post 10 times (useful posts) then you can do anything you want. Not many really.

I find this rather annoying too. Not only are we limited until we post 10 times, but there is a 5 minute delay between each post allowed?
Honestly, I doubt many people come to XDA Developers as a complete newb...

You can post Just not links, You have to wait 5 mins before each post and You can't post in development or Market place. Seems pretty fair You have to wait (Get 10 posts) for the best things in life Lulz

I was a pretty big noob when I first joined lol. But I learned how to do the basics and such.

Most noobs come in, say how they have some stupid problem with a rom they didn't follow directions while flashing on, and the answer is in a previous post that can be searched.
It's amazing how suddenly, after the 10 post rule, so many newbies have golden posts to post on the forum.
A seinfeld episode
I think seinfeld need to record a new episode on writing posts about nothing.
sometime I want to report bug from custom rom i use but i have only few post(from off topic).
Pm maybe?
Although I'm not so sure if you are allowed to.
If you want to gain these 10 posts , you can easily post something useful out if the dev forums.

I have my account to XDA for months and am still not able to participate to Folio 100 dev threads (where I only want to report bug and give some feebacks).
There should be a time limit, which could override the count limit.

Thanks for the comprehensive list, very useful when trying to get an overview of things.
Found a few errors and outdated entries though, corrections listed below.
Also, since the list is only updated sporadically, I think the U/O/N classification is inadequate. An actual date for last top-post-edit seems much more useful since it doesn't need to be updated/maintained even when absolutely nothing happens with the rom.

I'll do that when I actually have 10 threads I feel I can make a meaningful contribution to. Currently I don't, (I am eg able to use search to find existing answers, and "me too"-posts are useless). But I did spend about 10h last 24h reading up on the different desire roms and wanted to give back to the community with corrections/updates to 1 specific thread I myself found useful.

Here's the solution to the problem;
Please start a new thread in the Desire General Section.
Type the post exactly as you would if you were replying to the dev thread and I will merge it in for you...
Let me know when you've done so. Cheers.

Basically, if the noobs werent spamming for ten here then they'd be doing it in the device forums...
When they do it here they are easy to catch. Sure it disrupts the trolling a little but thats a sacrifice we are willing to make.

My reply about "scaring away" was regarding requiring 100posts instead.
Also, as a relative newbie to Android phone modding I'm not confident I can make much of a meaningful contribution in Q&A. But as I read through rom & howto threads as well as trying to test out roms, I can still contribute good feedback in those threads. Ironically I'm not allowed.
In any case I'll do what you suggested with the thread in Desire General and let you know here (or will you get a PM from me even if I can't even see a notification that is't been sent?)
