It looks like the Sprint etc forum is undergoing maintenance to split it into 3 as its combined with 2 others at the moment, just in case you encounter problems

holy cow, why doesnt xda just start with carrier specific forums? like at the home screen you can "find your device" there should be a series of questions like ordering auto prts on line? year, make, model etc. starting with carrier, just a suggestion

Okay, here it goes. I was trying to get my phone to return to stock, because i had a problem with rooted phone. So, i was looking for Firmware for Returning to Stock. and i found one, and used Odin3 to force update with the firmware,then i turned on my phone... and the screen said AT&T WORLD***** or W/E!!!!... i accidently downloaded AT&T Galaxy S Captivate's firmware... and now i cant go to 'Reset Factory Mode' or 'Downloading Mode'. can anyone help me? if i just can go to downloading mode, i can fix this. is there anyway to auto-goto downloading mode when you insert USB? like un-screwing the phone and doing something? i can take any-risk to fix this. thank you

Why did you not follow the stickied thread in this forum? It was that easy.

Sorry bud.. More than likely even if we could flash back the correct firmware, bml12 was probably overwritten, and we can't replace that, so you'd have a device that won't even use the cell radio.
Best bet is to disconnect the wire to the screen internally so that nothing appears on boot up, then take it back to Verizon.

No, what helped was my post on how he could handle the situation from this point forward, which I think is a reasonable suggestion given his situation.

Locked Phone

Guys I have a question, my friend works in carnival and he found a Fascinate but the phone is locked.
If I root the phone and install a custom rom then I should be able to unlock it right?
Thanks.

Can't really compare a $6 app to a device.
But now that I've gotten in a couple aftre work beers in and time to think about this.
F U op, did you ever consider that device might mean someones business and livelihood? Or what about the countless family memories that might be contained on the sd card? Gone because you wanna be a jagoff and come to a respectable website and admit you are in possession of a lost which now you have basically stolen device and want to make it your own. Karma can be a *****, and I hope she f&@ks you hard if you don't do the right thing. Your user name is burned in my head and I will troll you to hell if you ever ask another question about the fascinate.

Where are the developers?

So far, only xboarder is really working on this (with some possible help but not posted), and he does not have a phone. Appears someone reneged on a deal.
When the MT4G and G2X came out, there were a lot that jumped in - what is the issue here?
I don't think you know but the device dropped on 10/17 i'm pretty sure & alot of people are viewing thread's just not as much developers , there are about 2 developers here now .
Developers are having hard time to decide which device should they buy..
they got multiple choices now...
Samsung Galaxy 2
Samsung Nexus 2
Htc Amaze
Plus all the devices are expensive to its gone he hard for them to get all....
Same , i just bought the amaze as a temperary , once the Galaxy Nexus come's out i'm purchasing that . The SGS2 has a terrible screen .

Team Whiskey will be on board soon--the phone is VERY new and we need to give people some time to buy the phones before they can start cooking.
Nevermind that the bootloader / s-on is still an issue...

The nexus will only come out on Verizon for the foreseeable future - and switching carries for the phone of the moment is ------.
As for Samsung, I have only had bad experiences with their software/policies - so not going there anytime soon. LG for same reason is also an issue.
How about buying all the developers this phone at full price so we can get the roms out? No? Bad idea? Why not? Too much money? Oh... didn't think of that.

I made my point. Simply put there are few developers because there are few developers with the phone. I'm a bit sarcastic at times.

The point was - is there some consensus that this phone is not of interest for some reason? I am in the remorse period and so not want to stick with a no-interest phone.

There sure is. It's expensive as hell! How many other phones are out now and how many are on the horizon? From a developers perspective they have a lot to chose from. Odds are slim that we'll get dozens of developers that are going to get this device immediately after it's release. We might get one or two at first and that's about all we have. For f#@k sake the main developer doesn't even have the damn phone! Give it time or return it. It's up to you. I am sticking with it because I see the potential and I believe that development will open up in the near future.
Examples:
MT3G didn't start getting support for about a week after Cyanogen got it.
MT3G 1.2 didn't start getting support for MONTHS because of driver conflicts and the lack to crack the bootloader (which still hasn't been done).
Vibrant... still doesn't have a stable CM rom release and it's been out for over a year.
These are just devices that I know about for certain. I'm sure there are many more.
So we've had the phone for less than a month and people are getting impatient? Why? Did you think that we'll have root BEFORE the phone was released? Just be patient. It's very unlikely that this will be the only phone that isn't going to have ICS, CM7/CM9, etc.

when will the split be completed

I notice the forum is being split.
Is there an ETA when this will be completed and access to the development section returned?
I was going to ask the same thing.
You can still access the individual carrier forums if you have their links. The split is probably a high priority but it takes time.

VZ: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1708
Sprint : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1707
Edit: For the VZ link make sure your url ends with 1708 after you click it!
Wow, that's really silly. So even though 99% of accessories and apps are the same for each carrier, we'll have discussions about the same thing in 4 different forums?

It's definitely a good idea to split out the Dev sub-forums since flashing a rom for a different variant can cause problems. But yeah, hopefully they leave the accessories, and maybe the other ones together.

All U.S. accessories threads now link to the international accessories thread.
What was even more confusing was having eight development forums (an original and a current?). Now, they are nowhere to be found. Hope it gets sorted soon. What a cluster f

The Waiting Room - Off-Topic Chat

While everyone is waiting for their phones, I thought I would start a thread where we could just talk without worrying about going off-topic. If you want to talk about how other phones compare to the ATT HTC One, rant about rotten fruit and the vegetables that use them, etc, than this is the place.
Just please remember that all of the forum rules still apply here though.

Hi everybody, I am one of the mods on the team, welcome to the forums. If you post a question thread here in the General forum and notice it is missing, please check the One Q&A forum and you might just find it there.

BTW for any mods out there the picture for the main subpage for this phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2222) has the wrong picture--the AT&T one has a AT&T logo on the backside above the Beats branding. The one here doesn't.

They just had to slap that damn thing somewhere. The Sprint version doesn't seem to have a logo on the back, looks much nicer.
would it be wise for me to wait for the black version of this phone just to make sure they got all the "kinks" out?
I've been discouraged to buy htc phones when they first come out because they usually end up having some sort of issues..
last year i bought the htc one x at launch (full price too) and kept having off and on issues with wifi. I swapped it out a few times and ended up selling it at the end.
I was able to see both the SIV and HTC one in person. The build quality on the ONE impressed me. I will say though the phone was very warm when I held it. HTC one X all over again..
Part of me hates to admit it but knows that in the long run the SIV is a better investment..
Im waiting, but I dont know what to do yet. I want the black version, not the silver. Im going to buy off of contract so I will more than likely get the Developers edition... but who knows when or if they will have the black version in that. I want the phone now, but Im going to wait until the black is released...whenever that is.

We don't generally allow placeholder threads. None of these devices are in anyone's hands here on XDA, so how can there be screenshots here from said devices?

XDA forum used to be about HTC phone but now time has changed and HTC become a minority.
Finally, a new off-topic section for this place.
My phone's coming sometime next week.
I really want the black version, but no one knows when it is coming. I'm tempted to go order the silver one today, but now I'm trying to decide between 32GB and 64GB.
I never hit the limit on my 32GB iPhone, but I did hit the limit on my 16GB S3

I have been sitting on an upgrade since November last year - tried the One X+ but returned it due to the bluetooth issues. Now I have a trip coming up and need a phone before it, so I don't have a choice - silver it is. Oh well, they both look good, just prefer the black a little.
I'll wait for the black one hopefully it comes out on launch day. The silver one to me only looks good in the front but I can see all that silver in the back getting old real quick. I have had a few black phones in the past and after a year with the white S3 I miss the sexyness and classyness of a black phone. The stealth black on the ONE is definitely bringing sexy back!
If the black is available next Friday I will be very happy. However I ordered the silver 32GB in case it isn't. I don't anticipate an exchange to be a problem.
If it's silver, it's silver.
