then you need to learn to be more specific and yes I remember when I was a newbie but I never posted stupid questions... I poured over literally thousands of posts... I just bought my SGS2 a couple of weeks ago, and used it completely stock for a week before even flashing it with anything.
So the fact the OP is new DOES NOT excuse him/her from the same rules I adhered to or the same rules the more experienced developers adhere to. Much less a thread on how to root when it's a sticky. and baby sitters such as yourself are just as much to blame as people such as the OP because you give them what they want without any effort on their behalf, now that person will post each time they get a bug up their tail because those like you allow them to.
So if my rant can keep curve the behavior of just one newb then I am more than willing to keep ranting at all the stupid and unneeded new threads that come up, but I will never clog nor rant a reasonable question or well maintained thread.
the way i see it, it someones stuck an they ask a question its good to help them, especially if theyve tried and couldnt find anything. the search bar on here is useless even when being specific, av seen plenty of users say the same about it. n does it really affect you in any way if someone posts a question that may or not have been answered, no it doesnt so its not a massive deal. also some people havent got the time to go through thousands of posts looking for an answer that may or not be there. am not wana get into a big debate with you, all am wanting to say is there is no reason to be so rude. this is a forum at the end of the day, its for helping people.

as a matter of fact it affects me directly as does it affect you directly. If a user has no time to look for what they need, then they need not tinker with their phone, that' slike saying I don't have time to learn to drive, but I need a car to get where I'm going, the logic isn't worth the time used to think it up. And posts such as these are what make the search function on any forum hard to provide relevant material because of all the junk that is allowed to be posted. and this is xda, which is for developers essentially, and the best devs are leaving in droves because of complacency such as yours to allow noobs that have no business posting needless threads, much less owning device that DOES need time to research before being modified.
and I can go on and on and on and on, there is ZERO reason to tolerate half thought out post from newbies just because they are too lazy or don't have the time to look through the information that others like theirselves post.. if there were hardfist rules then the forum would not be clogged with useless posts and thus no need for my rant
right mabye you have a valid point, but is there any reason to be so rude to everyone? also just say the OP had tried searching here but couldnt find anything because of all the useless threads on here, whats he meant to do then? after all its not really his fault theres loads of pointless threads on here because hes a newbie. the only option left is to post a new thread, or go without an answer.

keep searching until he finds it because posting a new thread is the very reason we have all the clutter. if he has no time to keep searching then he shouldn't fathom modifying his device, it's as simple as that.
yeah fair enough but what if the answer hes searching for isnt there? cus am sure at somepoint there will be valid questions unanswered. and if newbies do post pointless threads then you could state to them that they should be searching etc without being rude about it all.

I stated VERY clearly a couple of responses ago that I will never rant on a valid thread and will do my best to help the OP. I have never been rude to anyone that honestly NEEDED a hand, but I will flame anyone for stupid posting. Because you are completely right, how can you find the information if it's not there? BUT if the information is there, AND in a sticky, then there is no excuse for the laziness.
AND I did make the statement a few posts up that I would not rant or be rude to someone that needed the help. I was very clear.
yeah i know but what if the newbie has seached and cant find the answer, even if it is a pointless question, surley he has a right to ask the question without getting flamed. if hes a newbie he wont know what questions will have been answered n whats not. he wont know hes posting an answered question because hes tried to find the answer and couldnt. i dont want to argue with you but personally i like to be polite to people and manners go a long way. we just see it different. a can see your point of veiw about it getting cluttered but newbies dont really know any better so you should mabye cut them some slack

cutting them some slack just makes the problem worse. if the answer is there these is ZERO justification for the new post. If the answer is NOT there by some chance, there is ZERO justification for me to be rude to them and I will dedicate myself to help them find an answer, but if it's in plain sight, I will also dedicate myself to trying to make sure they think twice about not looking for their answer. such as this thread, does the OP think they are one of few that wants to root his/her phone and that's its done so little that the answer is not in plain sight? that's the only logic that fits into your argument, other than just flat out laziness.
THERE is no justification for being polite to those who are lazy and want spoon fed answers, that is one of the largest reasons many forums getting clogged so quickly
my arguement wasnt defending lazy people, its just saying to not to be rude to everyone who posts a new question, especially those who have tried but failed to find an answer

and my argument is against those that post new threads to answers that are there in plain sight... how many rooting threads are started everyday just like this one, I lose count... how many threads are started everyday about someone looking for stock firmware, I lose. how many threads are started everyday about now being able to download from a site that has been taken down, I lose count. and it goes on and on and on and on. Sadly you are not getting what am saying, IF it's a valid question, I will be one of the first to help, if's it's a useless thread I will be the first to rant

It astonishes me to see you have such a massive ego and mock someone else when you yourself have just proved you can't do something as simple as follow a forum structure or even use the search.
Did it occur to you that maybe if Revolutionary worked on HBOOT 1.5, that the thread concerning HBOOT 1.5 might actually say this? Or instead, you could have just gone straight to http://revolutionary.io/ and seen for yourself? It's kind of strange that you would say that "these kinds of questions never get answered in Q&A", because I decided to visit that section, and guess what the first thread I saw was? This. And you know what I see on the first page (aside from the usual flaming because people like you don't wan to take the time to search?) I see this post:

Is that not enough of an answer for you? Were you expected a tailor-made response from ARX? Guess what; the world doesn't revolve around you or that phone. When they figure it out, if they figure it out, you will know right away. If that's not enough, I can use the search function (something that someone who is not a "noob" should know about), and show you several more threads were there's the same question and the same answer.
It's not really anyone else's problem if you can't A) Read, B) accept that the answer is just "not yet" or C) use the search function. So calm down with the ego a bit, eh?
I don't think I've seen anyone stupid enough to admit they posted in the wrong area without even bothering to search, but still have the gall to mock someone else who's telling you otherwise. This is what's killing XDA. It's one thing to help out new people and do it politely, it's another to help out an egotistical jackass who admits he broke the very (VERY) simple rules of forum structure and didn't both to even search for it. In fact, it took me way longer to type this out than to use the search function. Which you could have done instead of making this thread.
You take first prize for that in the douchebag awards, though. Congrats.
^really, amen.
how many freaking threads are there about this. that was my one line post on the previous page.
i just find it hilarious, that when you were making this thread, as you started to type in "HBOOT 1.5" it was impossible for you to not see the 5 other threads that are automatically displayed to help you see there is no need to make another thread about HBOOT 1.5.
admittedly, my response was short and ill mannered, but the bottom line is i was just having a bit of fun with you for the reason outlined above. i dont really hate you, that would be ridiculous.
Not related to Dev.
Use the search.
As the title states. Can I root my phone going off of last night's update? If so, where should I look?
Thanks!
Check the Q/A thread at the top of this subforum. It should have info regarding Revolutionary that should work for you, I believe.
I will never understand why people wait on OTAs and THEN want to root. I can't think of a time when an OTA ever made it easier since exploits are "usually" removed/patched. Add that to the fact that the user could have rooted by an already known working method prior to an OTA and still flashed a leak of the official release before it was ever even pushed out. I suppose it makes sense for someone that just bought their phone but otherwise :shrug:
Yes, the Revolutionary tool should work just fine. http://revolutionary.io/

This is easily the most unnecessary thread I've seen in a LONG time. You had to look right at a number of stickied threads that would have answered this question.
Revolutionary does work after the GB update, I rooted my Thunderbolt yesterday, S-off,
DL Recovery, flashed the SU zip file. Took all but 10 minutes. Working great.
Someone should try and count up the number of "I updated to GB and want to know how to root" threads

Yeah, I thought about that. But, I'd like to point out that using the search feature isn't optional, it's kinda in the rules and demanded.
If you took the time to type out those replies, you might as well have just searched this forum yourself and posted the link, as well as telling them what they should do in the future. Swfreak wins this round. Then have the thread closed.

1st post by this member and more helpful than many other members around here...
i understand forums have these search options and stickies and what not but reality is... most people don't/forget/not aware/don't care that the answer is around here somewhere even if it's right in front of them.
In fact 99% of the time any question that is asked the answer lays somewhere in this forum. so what? what's another thread that was posted in the correct sub-forum called "Thunderbolt Q&A".
Hell what's the point of this sub-forum anyways if members are not gonna give answers but DIY smart ass remarks.
at least he knew enough to post the question in the right sub forum, lol.
btw, how is the new ota? i dont know if im going to try it.

uh....... The link is in my sig!!!! Just me posting 10 characters answers the question!!!!
I always wondered why there are two sub-forums, Q&A and General. Then I looked closer and the one is for "questions" (and answers obviously) and the other is for discussion.... So, there should be NO questions in the General forum, right ?
Kinda silly, methinks. Combine 'em into one, I say.

Amen. I hope that's not trolling. I am sort of new to this posting thing Don;t know if this is the right forum, but I appreciate the help you all give to us new guys. I do agree about the "search" thing though.
Thanks and my 2 cents
Thanks for the info. I did use search to find my answer, and that's what I got. Let me first say that I am very appreciative of all of the time you guys spend here helping out the less knowledgeable. Now for the other...
You guys are obviously here to gain info and to give...right?
So I don't understand why so many of you insist on bashing newbies when they don't do things exactly right. I would just like to remind you that at one time you were also a newbie, and probably did not post in the right forum or just maybe posted a question that had already been asked! Let's take what our mother's taught us..."If you don't have anything nice to say," you now the rest...
I know that I have been reading these forums and have spent hours and hours trying to find the answers I was/am looking for. And sometimes I just want a direct answer to my specific question...though I dare not post a question fearing that I get flamed because it *may* be posted elsewhere...
In closing, please just try to be nice...it's not the end of the world if there is more than one place the same question is answered. Just reply with the link, and maybe the person will realize to do a search for his next question...
Thanks for listening... and please, don't flame me

I think the the reason people might be giving you a hard time is because you started a thread and clearly put yourself self above the Golden Rule of using the search button. It is pretty clear what we have in the development forum dude. So whether you have you reasons or not for using whoever's rom here. It doesn't matter. You didn't search. You wanted others to do the foot work for you and spoon feed you. You are now just another statistic that is clogging up xda with useless threads. Thanks!

I have a news flash for you. People will continue to post questions and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
Maybe a private forum is a good solution for you if you get annoyed by people asking questions.

Well basically what you are doing here defeats your whole purpose of this useless thread. You've started a thread that adds no value to this community and proves your disregard for the forum by using the search button. So to be fair.

im not annoyed at all dude. im just stating a fact. the fact is, that you couldn't even figure out how to use the search button. thats ridiculous. the search button filters out what you're calling "off-topic blabber." so you should really begin to school yourself on how to use it. it would be awesome.
i don't need a private forum. but thanks for the suggestion. I actually add value to this community and keep the development moving. what do you do? I'm thinking it might be a good idea to take your own suggestion and start a private forum for yourself. that way your non-development and opinionated threads can be elsewhere from the actual development and XDA can continue to be what its about. DEVELOPMENT.

what im telling you is. and i am sincerely attempting to help you. is if you dont like the off topic stuff in my thread and thats the only reason keeping you from it. you can filter the thread with the search function. i fix a lot of things and there is a ton of actual development in there if you choose to search for it. i have to use the search button in my own thread at times. its just how popular threads go sometimes.

Man, if that's the reason you don't want to try Task's AOKP, you should try to come up with some other reasons. His ROM is awesome. He updates at a maddening pace and fixes a lot of things. He is an awesome developer. Also, like he's been telling you, the search button makes it easy to find something you may want to find, you don't have to read through all of it if you don't want to. Sincerely speaking, you should at least give the ROM a try, the download link is in the first page, so there is no off-topic posts to read through to try it. I promise you you will not be disappointed.

I'm new to roms installation and I was looking for a detailed guide or someone that explain me how to...
I'm running a stock kernel, a stock rooted rom (ics 4.0.3 xwlp7) and I haven't installed the Cwm I have it in the internal storage memory and I have to flash it every time I need to use it
That's all
My questions are:
I need a particular kernel? How to change it?
I need Cwm installed or I can leave it like it is now?
I need doing or I can just flash it from the device?
Thanks

Well, I think if you can't figure out the answers using the search function, and opening a thread for this in the original development section it would be better not to install CM9...
Have you even tried to Google that? C'mon, there are so many guides out there! Don't be that lazy! Oh, and next time write in the right section.

Use the noob proof odin method. After that you may update to a nightly of your choice (or rc1)...

I don't think you should be flashing ROM's if you don't know how to even get CyanogenMod on your phone.

Read and figure it out on your own. If you don't, you're going to be dependent on other people the whole time you do anything to your device. It's your device, do some research on your own.

Typing in all caps is not helping you get your point across.
This is a community, yes. But it's supposed to be a community of developers and hackers. Or at the very least, people who come here wanting to research and learn. But since everyone and their mother now joins and expects to have information spoon-fed to them, it's become a community, as you said, of "users"; i.e. people who simply use.
My point - the information you were seeking could have been found with a search. Rule #1 of the forum rules is:
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.

Hell, the instructions for installing CM9 are - surprise, surprise, in the CM9 thread. The same thread that had links to download it. You clearly were able to find it to download it, so did you just skip over the instructions on how to flash?
Give this a read.
Writing in caps doesn't solve anything, you were told what you should have been told, not to discourage you but to save you bricking your phone.
If you can't read few stickies, can't read few threads, that's what you will get.
Read them, than ask and you will be surprised how many will actually help you.
i was not doing controversy, caps was not intended (working i have to use it)
I was just saying that if someone needs help you could at least direct it in the right direction, instead of always criticizing that's all I know how to use the "search" but obviously I did not have any clear answers to my questions that's why I opened a topic in hopes of getting answers. I've had no answers, I had to assume and tests.
fortunally everything went well
Its suppose to be a community of android developers (note: The name of this website!!!)
No one is required to help another person, they choose to help. Some people were nice enough to post guides, faq and etc. The majority of all questions or problems asked has an answer or solution posted. It is the responsibility of the user to search and read them.
Any new users should read the stickies FIRST before posting. Every one of your questions has answers in the stickies. If people dont bother reading guides and faqs, they have a higher chance of ruining their phone.
As you said, there was a guide, you followed it and solved it yourself. Why didnt you simply search for it, BEFORE you posted this.
SOLVED..How do i safely go back thru my backups? I have all of padawan series plus FJs. Beem running FJs but would like to go back to the others and check them out then come back to Flappjaxx. Thanks..

Wipe as you would normally for installing a new ROM(this is considered optional). Then select "restore" instead of " install". Chose your backup.
Please please please at least attempt to research before posting!!!!

So... I have read how to backup, wipe, check md5 of backups and downloads, install rom, download and install updates and new kernels, modems and apks and donate to 2 devs. But my mistake was to ask a question in the Q&A section. My bad. Wont happen again..

Your welcome for the answer to your question

OP ...
It's also a very good idea to wipe the system when setting up for a restore.
New roms will often wipe the system for you, but a restore generally will not.
Just a tip for clean restores.
And regarding the jab about posting.....
The forum is overflowing with new threads asking the same questions repeatedly.
It takes up so much space, that navigation becomes very difficult, and it detracts users when searching for information in the open forums.
As mentioned above, a quick search would have given you the answer to your question.
It certainly does not mean that we don't want to help, it just means that your answer is likely waiting in a quick search, rather than posting a repeat thread that takes up much needed space.
No hard feelings here, and happy flashing ....g

almost makes you wish they would enact some sort of rule that forces anyone with <10 posts to prove that they know how to search on this forum...and then the sarcasm about how he already knew everything that was presented to him...just too much..
Noobs just don't understand that this is NOT an "instructional forum", it is a DEVELOPMENT forum, meant for experienced phone developers, NOT for Noobs that break their phones because they don't know WTF they are doing...
I thought i was up out of the dev part of the forums into the noob q&a. My apologies to all. And thank you gregsarg and mojoe for answers. I WILL try to find answers by searching.

Yeah your right. I dont know much but i do search but when searching from phone its hard to get the answers sometimes. Seems like if you have enough posts you can ask about anything and get away with it. With a low number not so much.. Right?

No....
There are no exemptions based on post count or self-imposed status here.
Post count means nothing, as anyone can post, regardless of the topic. (good or bad)(users just fail to read the rules)
The problems arise when the first rule of XDA is broken. and that of course, is to search before posting. Bandwidth and server space is not cheap, and this is ultimately a development site, not a nursery for people to learn how to boot into download mode etc. Those questions were answered a year ago when this device hit the shelves.
And as I mentioned above, the multi-QA threads covering the site, will bury the threads that contain the help users need to get answers.
It's the self-feeding effect, and it log jams the site something aweful. So when a search is conducted, the only results that come back are threads asking repeat questions, and no answers. (Make sense? ) And we are left with even more threads stating..."I searched, but I cant find it"...
And thats no lie under those conditions. So you see, that is why Senior members will jump on newer users to search first, rather than post a repeat thread. It often avoids the domino effect, leaving the "solved" threads visible to help people out.
I am simply a user who chooses to stay and help others avoid costly mistakes, using the knowledge I've gained here. I started on this site after reading every thread on the device I used at the time. And did not post unless it was an absolute emergency. (never really had any of those).
Soon after, I began to help others with basic questions, and gathered up a sizable number of posts through helping and giving back for the amazing work freely offered here.
Honestly, dont be afraid to post, just make sure you have exhausted the search method to the best of the site's ability to give you answers.
and after that, let us know you need a hand.
Too easy, and we will help you any way we can.....g
OK. Thanks. Great way of explaining the system and situation..Thanks Again

It's a waste of time to spend 2 years on a website, gaining knowledge about devices, and do nothing with that knowledge.
I decided after hard bricking a new phone that was entrusted to me, that I'd study, give back, and save folks the trouble if possible.
I'm not at the development level, but I can pretty much dial in the issues people are having by sight.
I miss a few here and there, (old guy )...but for the most part I get the device going again.
I tell all users, especially new users, to read every part of the mods they attempt, then read it again.
Android is all about comprehensive understanding of the processes at work.
And it takes years to master. (I'm not a master)...And the time spent by our talented developers is wasted if folks won't read and learn.
Hundreds, even thousands of hours are freely given to us by them, in the form of roms, tweaks, and fixes....all free.
We owe them the respect to read and comprehend the offerings they provide.
And a little beer money sent their way never hurts either.
Thank you for the kind words....as they make the time spent here, much more pleasurable.
And if you don't want to post a question in the open forum, just PM me...
I'll do my best to help, and if I can't answer the question, I'll find someone for you that can.
We succeed by learning and giving back to the community...
Words we all should strive to live by here ....g
