Don't know which section to post this really, but here goes...
I got a mini XDA on o2 (UK)
I want to upgrade the operating system from 5 to 6, but all o2 shops don't wanna know.
14 months old so out of warranty.
Can someone help, or explain in plain English how to go about this?
Be careful, I have only just worked out how to operate my pop-up toaster......

Basically you need to read the topics on this forum and fully understand them before you even think of doing something to your xda..
First you need to figure out whether you have a G3 or G4 model, you can find out here
If you have a G4 then you're not in deep ****, but it might be a little difficult..
After that, here's a good tutorial on flashing: clickie
If you don't have a clue about anything in these topics, it'd be best to find someone who can, otherwise you'll probably end up with a bricked phone.
Good luck!
Read, read, read. You should know what you do before doing anything (or you may change your Wizard into an expensive paperweight).
Though when you learn it, it is quite easy. I have CID locked G4 and I changed ROM many times using shelltools (less elegant than SoftSPL/HardSPL solutions, but more safer).

LOL !
C'mon , guys don't just scare him like this
We all have come here as noobies,but have gone through and learned alot.
Hey ! It's not a big deal,if 100/1000 have done it,so can you,just read all the stickies on unlocking and upgrading carefully a couple of times,let it all sink in and when comfortable ,GO for it.
Once again I advise you,Just READ the Stickies only,don't read the whole forum,it'll make you confused,ok
Good luck
Anyone know of where I can get this done in the UK?

Ive read through the posts and there is some amazing stuff out there, and you guys have got to be commended. Im really a simple person so I want to find a simple answer/solution. I have a brand new att 8925 tilt. I just want the touch flo cube functionality. I dont need any other software. I just want it to respond like it were an HTC touch. Whats the best way to go about doing this and the best rom out there for it? Thanx for any help and keep up the good work, when i get some extra money donations will definately be going around!

Did you read the Wiki? There some really great information out there. But you didn't, did you?
I know this because if you had read the Wiki like the Sticky mentions...oh wait...did you read the Sticky? Probably not. Let's just move right along, shall we? If you had read the Sticky, you would have heard about the Wiki and there you would have seen all sorts of links to that Cube page. You'd also know that if all you want is the cube, you don't have to change ROMs and thus possibly void your warranty. You'd also know that the proper forum for discussion about what software to use for what purpose belongs in the Kaiser forum, not the Kaiser Upgrading Etc forum. And you'd know that right now tell is that dutty has the ROM with the fastest responding cube. We even would have thrown in wonderful information about all the Frequently Asked Questions related to the Kaiser and related topics...yes...even dutty's ROMs. But all of this is in the hypothetical world where you read this stuff, right? That world where you didn't post this question that's covered in countless threads, forums, and wiki pages...
(I'd be more snarky but I'm hungry and I've had a rough day at work...now get back to your regularly scheduled programming peeps)
hi there, welcome to the forum.
here's the link to the wiki on the cube
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Cube
its linked in the kaiser wiki, as well as the sticky right on top of the page. in future please look in the sticky/wiki first and/or search before creating a new post.

I personally have been happily flashing warranty voiding ROMs on my Tilt that have dutty's cube. I'm also one of those weirdos that just doesn't like the cube. Best thing I can suggest is read the two threads for the two different cubes linked on that wiki page and see what people are saying about them and compare it to what you want.

oh no...it's gonna be worse than that...the next n00b gets the wrath and I get to blame it on Krup. That way I get two for the price of one.
Oh screw it...
FLAME ON
I was far too nice, I see. I went through the trouble of taking 1.2 seconds opening another tab to get the URL of the EXACT Wiki page you needed so I could put the link in my reply. Why? Because I knew that you obviously did not bother to use the resource that so many of us here strive to maintain. It's an insult to the work we do here when people like you just drop on in and ask to be spoonfed. I suggest you read the Extreme Noobs post. I'm not gonna bother to link this time because you aren't gonna bother to use what is handed to you. Try looking for it. It's on the first page so you'll probably have a hard time seeing it. This isn't rocket surgery or brain science. It can be done by anyone with a little patience and the ability to comprehend those strange symbols on the screen we call "letters"...they go together to form "words" which convey "thoughts" and "ideas" and "knowledge". Am I going too fast for you with all these fancy terms? Doesn't matter...I don't care.
Yes, there's a lot of clutter in the forums. Yes, there's a lot of clutter in the individual threads. You know why? Shut up. I'm talking. It's because people like you annoy people like me by posting questions that have been gone over so many times that even "Barrens chat" now has more useful information in it. Do you know what Barrens Chat is? I thought I told you to close your pie hole. Go to Google...I'm assuming you know what that is. Try searching for Barrens Chat and see what I'm talking about. I'm actually being driven to the point that I want to play WoW again so I can hang out in the Barrens and listen to people discuss the characteristics of the love child of Chuck Norris and Michael Jackson. I'm beginning to think my time there would be far more stimulating than typing the same 8-10 answers over and over again until my laptop jumps up and smashes my balls with a Mack truck just to make me stop.
Have I hurt your feelings? Have I upset you or made you mad? I swear, if you don't stop talking I'm gonna have to punch you in the face with an active volcano. Now hurry up and answer me. On second thought, don't bother because I really don't care any more. You're just going to have to learn to be faster if you want to keep my interest in this conversation.
WOW!!!!!!!
Well, it seems clear this thread is not going anywhere useful. Links to the Cube info have been given.
Closing thread.

Got the chance of updating to one and have been looking for reports, advice feedback on this phone. Is there going to be a section for this phone ?
Thanks
Probably not as it's not an HTC device even though it is branded an XDA.
Is this a HTC only forum then ?
Don't know about that but i do know they have decided not to create a section for things like the Samsung Omnia. But then that is neither HTC nor an XDA.
Seems fair enough, they do say somewhere its HTC only, just read it, be to much if they had to do every windows phone out there. Oh well the Zest is on the way, lest see what it's like in the flesh.
well i am new to this site and to be honest here its confusing me i am looking at a way to i think its called rooting basically some guy i know said about rooting his htc desire but i really dont understand what it actually is and also what it will allow you to do and i have the xda developers app on my phone but i am still confused on what to do etc
any help would be appreciated

Welcome to forums
Perhaps if you enter to your device sub-section and have a deep read on the Wiki you´ll understand better.
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
First of welcome!
I agree with orb. Go to your device subforum.
It might all seem complex at the moment, but you'll be up to speed in no time!
Just remember to search before asking dumb questions
Well i will have a look but its not easy when you dont know what your looking 4

WOW!! Incredible how people time and again get soo lazy they refuse to help themselves by reading. This is a DEV SITE, NOT A HELP SITE! We expect you to do research and help yourself before you ask questions that have time and again been answered. Do yourself a favor and go to the hack kit thread and read the entire thing. It's not difficult assuming you have a reading level above the 3rd grade. You'll probably notice that you either did one of two things: you either didn't follow a step or you didn't see that there is an IRC chatroom to help people with issues during the rooting process. PLEASE SEARCH AND READ before you destroy your phone.
Ze, shut her down.
k thanks jerk sorry im NEW HEAR AND JUST NEEDED HELP WITCH YOU DIDN'T COMPREHEND

HAHA jerk? I see basic grammar has escaped you HERE, WHICH leads me to believe that you don't have a reading level above the 3rd grade. Do yourself a favor and stop before you destroy your phone and have to start another pointless thread that reads "OMGz I BRICKED MY PHONE BECAUSE I CAN'T READ". The hack kit is a simple tool provided you take the time to read everything, which includes both effen maunal and the OP in that thread. I can tell you didn't read ****? you wanna know why? because if you read the entire OP you would see that there is an IRC chatroom dedicated to helping those with issues during the rooting process using the hack kit. Stop being lazy. THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT SITE, NOT HOLD YOUR HAND BECAUSE I CAN'T READ FOR MYSELF SITE..something you don't comprehend.
EDIT: You've gone through 5 inspires?!?! At what point do you stop and think maybe I'm doing something wrong and should re-read the instructions on what I'm doing?!

I logged in just so I could chime in on this one.
Calling people names is rude and not tolerated here. If you were to answer as many questions here as some of us have you would understand the lack of patience and intolerance we sometimes express. That being said, bacon boy is right that you need to do a little more reading in the hack kit thread, if you don't find your answers there you can log onto the irc server and get help there. No offense but starting a new thread because you do not feel like doing a little bit of searching and reading on your own is pretty thoughtless and lazy. Like I said before pretty much all info you need is in the hack kit thread and in the effen manual and on the irc channel. Don't call people names here. This isn't kindergarten. Hope you get your issues sorted out.
And with that outta the way,
Ze, shut 'er down!
I can try to help you out.. pm me if anything and I can try to point you in the right direction it can be rough looking around it happens its.not the end of the world
Like I said I'll try to help you out I don't mind
HTC Inspire
I can see all sides of this arguement. I know the feeling of "UhOh, I just bricked my phone" its frantic and scary. On the other hand when I started on XDA and was poking around reading this and that before making my move. I kept seeing. "DO YOUR RESEARCH, READ THIS, READ THE EFFEN MANUAL IT'S IN THE EFFEN HACK KIT". So I did. For 3 days I read every bit of info before downloading anything. As far as the devs I get how so many questions about nonissues can be frustrating and make you want to choke slam a stranger. But it does all boil down to the rules of XDA.
Read everything, all posts in a thread AMD the Q&A thread of whatever you initially looking at and only post if you can find the answer somewhere else. But most of all read the instructions.
Are you 100% sure you totally bricked all 4 of your previous phones? Be wise there's been at least 4 times I thought I bricked mine. And they aren't cheap so youu may want to be sure of that because it seems you probably have just spent a grand on phones. Sorry for your troubles. Cyrax is a good guy and I'm sure he can help with whatever the issue is.
Now everyone just take a deep breath.......... And exhale.
Agreed please read up on what your doing. Modding the software on your phone is no simple thing. Yes it has been made easy but in no way is it simple. Please read up and search. What ever happened believe me your not the first to have it happen.
As for the replies. Outright insulting people will not be tolerated. By ANYONE!
