Take your time, don't do anything in haste ; )
I was reading all the forum,and it's only written like to download the rom and vuolia,but what after? Do i need to put the file to sd card or do it in a different way?Do i need to install special program to open files .nbh? Simply my phone isnt working normally,i cant send messages or read it,if i put sd card inside,after few hours phone starts to lag. If there is anyone,who has time to explain how to make it work good,you are god
Sorry, I posted the wrong link. Ooops.

Without know exactly what HD2 you have (european or American), if it's network locked, secondhand and so on, I have know idea why you can't send SMS messages. I recommend reading up on how to flash ROMs via the link above and taking the appropiate action based upon your situation.... We all started this way, honest ; )
In particular this thread is good http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477

"The Over-The-Air update packages used by the Dell Streak come encrypted. During the OTA installation process, the Streak downloads the encrypted pkg from the Dell OTA server, reboots into recovery mode, decrypts the update pkg, then finally applies the update. The decrypted update zip is similar to standard Android update zips. After the update process, the decrypted pkg is left on the root of the SD card."
These are instructions from the updates page. The problem is that they don't go into enough detail. Downloading from the link gets me an mbn file, which I have never heard of. What do I do with it? Do I need a utility to extract it so I can then put it on the phone or do I put it on the phone as is? If the phone is not "rooted", where should it go?
I ask because my phone is 1.6 from AT&T and checking for updates tells me that it is up to date so this appears to be my only option.
Those aren't the instructions from the updates page, they are from the XDA wiki page
To download an update pkg form that page click on the number of the package in the first column or the text PKG in the fourth column.
You will get more coherent help if you don't start multiple threads.

I don't have a clue what a "Wiki page" is. Going back and looking, the word shows up once on the entire page as a link to "Wiki Admins".
The page is a list of available updates. To me, that's an update page.
The other thread pointed me to that page, which brought up a whole new question that I thought other newbs might like to know the answer to as well.
A question/answer they might not see if it is buried in one more "how do I update" thread, so I gave it its own thread so it stood out better.
Meanwhile, I still don't know for sure what an mbn file is. All I can find is that it is some kind of compressed file, sort of like a .bin but that doesn't tell me what to do with it.
That's straight off the wiki page like he said, i know seeing as i'm the one that wrote that line. If you scrolled down it's written in the ROMs section
mbn files are the device firmwares of snapdragon type processors/chipsets, most users dont need to deal with these
if you want to update there are dozens of threads on the general section sub-forum
im a noob at hacking etc. and i have a few questions if anyone is able to help at all that would be great. I just got a Dropad A8T. I was able to Root it with GINGERBREAK but am still having some problems with it. I have a very limited market, low hundreds, and im sure thats because its from China. I learned how to edit the files so it will use all apps but after each reboot it always goes back to the original file not the edited. there are a few firmware links ive found around the net but they are on a Chinese website and google translate only goes so far and i can't seem to find a good firmware when i actually find one.
so i guess my questions are, how can i fully open the market and keep it open, and where can i get a new firmware? sorry if these have been asked before i searched for them but didnt find anything helpful.
I am presently using 4.0.3 on my Dropad A8T.
It was written (modded?) by a Russian group.

I do not speak Russian but you select the big red button on the right to download it.
The steps to install it can be found elsewhere. I wont give you them because I would hate to miss something and mess you up.
Here is the link of where I discovered a lot of info.

Hi there,
I am new here and realize I first have to search the forum for the problem i encounter , I did that, could not find the exact problem.
One mentioned slow copying but it was resolved after someone advised him to use a 2.0 usb port.
But that's not the issue in my case
I installed latest paranoid android rom as the second rom in the dualboot option from siyah kernel.
I followed all the instructions to install it correctly.
When i connect phone to pc to copy file the pc hangs, that means, the program which is doing the copying hangs, (both total commander as well as windows file explorer) have to close it with task manager, then when I browse the phone I see the file i tried to copy is present with the original size, but its corrupted, its only size being reserved for the file.
It is not an usb port problem, because when i boot the phone to my first rom (simplistic disaster) i can copy files to the phone, and its fast.
anyone have this problem or know a solution i would be be grateful, because I like the rom, but if I cannot copy files to it it goes down the trunk.
yours sincerely
Ronald
Put out your microsd and connect it directly to pc, works fine? If not it's card issue. Format could help in this case.

Thanks for your response, I did not try that before allthough im pretty sure its not the solution, because if it were the case i would have the same problem with the other rom booted.
But to not make a fool out of myself i tried it anyway s, and like i anticipated: no problems with the sdcard, the problem also occurs when i copy to the internal sd card, so its most likely some combination of the paranoid android rom with other issues .
Hard to say anything wise... I would try to find answer in rom specific thread. Hope you will solve it. Good luck!

He said nothing of posting in the thread. He said you should try to find the answer in that thread.
The 10 post rule is there to (hopefully) prevent people from posting random threads in development fora. Doesn't seem to help much though.
Hello
First, excuse for my english. I'm french, and like you know, we are the worst of the world in foreign language (thanks google Trad).
Two, thanks to this ROM, she's great, the best Rom i test since i've my SGII.
So, I'm here because i've a problem (surprised?). When i copy my music Folder (4,5Go), I've a first error message who tell that a sing have a wrong format (MP3). It's not really a problem, because I can ignore it and let the copy continue. But after that, I've a second error message for another file. This time, the message tell me that the phone not respond (sorry, I try to translate Win7, in french: "le périphérique ne répond plus") and i have to stop all the copy or ignore this file. If I ignore, I've the same problem for the following files, and all my folders are empty.
This problem appear with or not the debug mode.
Can you help me? Sorry if the question have been already ask, i've search all this afternoon (I live in Reunion Island, actually it's 5:00pm) and i don't find any answer.
Thanks a lot.

The problem you're having is normal at least for now, and I've experienced it many times.
These are my observations and how I've solved the issue in different occasions:
Observations:
- this issue occur randomly
- it's more common if your computer has been hibernated too many times without rebooting
- it's also common if an app on your phone is also trying to access your storage simultaneously.
Solutions:
- stop the copying process, and reconnect your device to the pc.
- reboot your Pc
- copy your files via Wi-Fi using apps - reboot to recovery, connect your phone to your Pc and mount your device as usb (under mount option in recovery) and copy your files.
Note:
-The solutions listed above are not dependent on each other, and one of them will sure get the job done till mass storage mode is fixed in the Rom.

Thanks you very much. I try this tomorrow and i'll tell you if it's works :good:

Hello,
I try to connect my Gs this morning like you tell me. But it doesn't work.
Firts, i boot my PC after a good night. I re-boot my phone and after that i connect it to my PC.
The same error appear at the begining of the copy.
So, i try to mount my USB storage (i've no Wify to my job so i can't test this solution). The PC detect my phone (it was in the peripheral equipment, but the SD doesn't appear in the explorer.
I'll try to change the kernel, i would like to flash Siyah. If i'm lucky, maybe it will work. Which siyah's version is compatible with PARANOID. I maybe understand there a problem the beta6.

Sorry for not clarifying the kernel part.
I use Siyah and mounting usb in recovery works perfectly well.
Siyah 3.5.2 and above are compatible but I always recommend 4.0.1

No problem, thanks you. i'll flash Syiah this week
At home, i try to transfert files with airdroid apk and it works but this soft not allow to transfert several selected files or folders.
Thanks you again for your help.
Hello,
Just to tell you about my problem. With Siyah I could copy all my folders in Recovery mode. I hope the problem will be resolverd with the next PA's version.
Thanks again.

SO i read now its a common problem with the rom , i did not find that information yet, I now using the cynogenmod 9 from july because i was hoping to solve the mass storgage issue and guess what, the same problem, so now i know its not paranoid android related but a cynogen mod issue.
I actually have a new problem since i have a new adsl modem, cyanogen mod does not have a wps option to connect to a wifi router, the modem i have wont connect with any android device the regulary way by typing the wep password wich worked fine with other devices like ps3,TV and a laptop, we have 3 android devices (2x s2 and 1x 10.1 tablet) and all only can connect with the wps option wich unfortunally is missing in cyanogen mod
But I dont see this as a rom problem, only as a missing feature.
got all the way to step 7 of method two from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 and ran UpTestEX_mod2_marwin only to get a pop up please update R&D test tools".
I know the regular LG R&D doesn't let me revert from kitkat (have tried 5 times), so does anyone know where I can actually get a current R&D mod. Have googled every way I could think of and as I started trying to get this T-Mobile LG G2 re-rooted 14 hours ago, I'm burnt and really need some help.
Thanks in advance
did you reed instructions in the file?
does the script complete.
anyways reboot, add manually the url to hostfile
:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host
save without txt extension (as all files).
follow instructions again, then it should launch
after manually remove line from hosts again.
that worked for me
also firwall should allow https file that virusscanner may mark as virus.
send from the jungle
yes, I read the instructions, as I said I was up to #7 and that's where the Marwin file will not go through.

I really hate when people scold people about being in the right forum when they actual are.
I've posted a general G2 question in the General G2 forum.
And this question had nothing to do with the LGMOBILEAX file (which I already substituted). It was about the LG R&D not working on an LG G2 which I posted in the LG forum.
Less time acting like a parent, more time reading the post before you offer no help.
yeah bro a question is q&a section
but did you try my suggestions? only read you comment on reading about instructions
