XDA Orbit / PC Software

Good Morning to all
As you may or may not be aware i am new to this forum and i would just state that i am not an XDA developer of any kind yet ? ( not sure how i become one or if i can ,
I have a question in relation to the subject of this post i was just wondering if anyone knew of an Internet site where i can download the install software for my XDA , i have the new XDA Orbit and i am trying get it working with my work pc i have the usb cable provided with the pack but forgot to take the install cd :-( with me to work in the morning i i was hoping there would be somewhere i could source this install file/data from ???
Anyway i hope i have posted my query in the right place and thanks in advance for any help

XDA software
Hey m8 thanks very much for the info i did find this software but was not sure if thats what i need , thanks for the clarification and quick repsonse
Just out of interest as i said i am enw to this forum and also to XDA(s) i notice you tag
Quote "ROM 2.21.4.1 WWE
Radio 02.07.10
EXT ROM 2.21.4.101
OMAP Overclocked
I was just wondering does "OMAP Overclocked" mean that i/u r able to over clock the CPU on my XDA Orbit ?
And 1 other question i hope you dont mind but how much does upgrading the firmware help the function of the device ( i am not sure this will matter for me that much seen as the Orbit is fairly new and they probably dont have an upgrade for the firmeware yet but for future reference it would be helpfull to know ?
Once again thanks for all the info and advice and sorry for all my nagging questions

You are welcome.
With regards to overclocking have a look here and here but make sure that you read the literature thoroughly.
With regards to firmware I would suggest doing some reading on this Forum. I use the stock o2 Mini S ROM and have no problems with it. I have stripped all the o2 stuff out. A lot of people use custom 'cooked' ROMs, many of which may be found within the FTP. It's not something that has concerned me as I have no problems with the ROM I am using. If it ain't broke, don't fix.

Please can you put me in the right direction..

Totally new to the site...I got my first PDA a couple of days ago, i've got the o2 XDA STELLAR - which i belive i'm in the right part of the forum for..
Now i'd like to installed a new ROM from on here, i belive Dutty's is the one i'd like to go for, could someone please give me the direct link to the latest ROM to download for my phone please, as i'm a bit confused to which one it is! I'll learn in time!
Looks a great Website..
Thanks for your help in advance..

oooo not a good first post... good luck sir

this dutty latest
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398271
but please read the wiki and gweni before flashing.

Hi,
Since you are new to the PDA arena and also this site, I would seriously recommend waiting untill you have gained some knowledge and understanding of how your device works.
Read the Wiki as advised above and digest as much information and terminology as possible.
We are all here to help, some of us Developers and others power users, but you will find that everyone has started at the same place as you.
Whilst every effort is made by the Developers here to avoid problems whilst flashing/upgrading your devices software, problems are inevitable from time to time, so it is important that you read and understand as much information as you can before upgrading your device, if things do go wrong, the worst thing you can do is panic. Stay calm, have a read and search through the forums for similar issues and then make a post.
Please read the Wiki here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser
and I would then advise, when you are ready, to try Leo's latest Rom, Dutty has been very busy of recent and has not released a new Rom for a while (although his work is very good)

Cheers,

There are so many things wrong with your post ... but i won't waste time on counting them ... here is what you need to do:
1) read the kaiser wiki
2) read the kaiser wiki's section on rom upgrading and flashing
3) read about Hardspl ... make sure you get this before you fflash any roms to your device.
4) research and understand what flashing is and what happens to your phone when you flash.
5) download the rom and flash to your phone after establishing pc connection.
Oh and since you asked such a redundant question i am sure a mod will close this thread ... considering you didn't bother reading the below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397434
or this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
or this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#Tools
read them before you mess up your device

On the contrary. Dutty just released a ROM a few days ago, and has promised V2 of that ROM soon.

1) Use the search, if you can't find what you need goto step 2.
2) Create a thread but make sure you post in the right Section and since this is "Sapphire android development" you only post here if you got something to provide the development with if not then "general" is probably the right one! When you create a thread "in the right section" be sure you give all the information you can give when asking for help. Me for once don't wanna ask you 1001 question to be able to help you so always give all the info you can. In this case give us the info about your phone what kind of board it is 32A/B HBOOT and RADIO.
And just a heads up: if the wiki is to technical you should most probably not even get started on flashing anything into your mobile since you will probably just brick it if you don't know what you're doing!

sorta not true....when i first started i was scared as f*ck and thought for sure after my first rom flash that i had bricked my MT3G adn I'm a EE...we should welcome noob's with open arms, because their interest is what will propel android as a "fave" amongst consumers.
Ok, now after getting off my soap box, Mazlano, go to the following site..
1) www.theunlockr.com
2) STUDY www.theunlockr.com
that has all the base information in well concise format that will help you go from a stock magic to one that you can flash Roms.

at the threat of not wanting to sound angry, those comments are f*cking stupid.
1) its OUR right to go to any forum / thread / site we come across on teh internet
2) I simply passed along a site to a newbie where they could find concise information all in one spot with videos to getting them feeling comfie with unlocking their phone, thats what worked for me. ITS MY RIGHT to disseminate any information i choose
3) Grow the F*ck up. I am here because once i became comfie with the ins and outs of my phone, unlockr.com had nothing to offer me and i'm sure that the originator of this thread will find the same thing out.
I see why some of the devs get tired of coming here. Instead of helping someone out and leaving it be some of you trifling f&cks are out to berate and belittle others..leave it be...the guy is new...from one fresh noob to another i gave information that helped me. If you had information that could have helped him that would be concise on XDA that i don't know about, just offer the f*cking information and move on...

Comments were indeed stupid. The forementioned site is a good start for a
beginner. Easy and will get him ready for this forum. Let that site take the burden of rooting because this site can be overwhelming with too many opinions and choices and advices. oh... and menacing dickheads.

Yeah, I have to agree. Theunlockr helped my with its step-to-step tutorial to get the recovery img onto my magic - I found also several guides in the forum as well as I consulted the wiki, but the guide there (with video) is even understood by an idiot
Search, Google, Try if you're 99.99% sure of what you're doing. And have fun

are you serious?
Ok, I would have posted the unlockr also just because I was a noob just like the OP and any forum post where confusing. And the unlockr has hands on videos that tell you step by step. Who cares what site someone uses, and why would someone want to use XDA with members like you.

cause i try and help people here if you check my posts not direct them elsewhere
just looking after this place cause people can't read the rules on xda

thanks for the site buddy. and way to go looking out for noobs! ... and the other dude against advertising... this site is free isn't it? you dont have to pay to be a member or anything, so directing noobs to other sorces of info wont cost u a dime.
You can donate to the rom devs sure, but dont think they dont post their roms on other forums...
and btw, the unlockr really helpd!
and i speak from exp, when i say that the some of the high ranking members of xda tend to divert u off into another web of confusion rather than just help you.
saw it on the universal forum, saw it on the x1 forum. and here we are again! but its cool,,, its better than no help so i am greateful!

Need Help - noob tech

hey guys
i want some answers for following questions
1.How to overclock my nexus S and which is stable one?
2.Which is best rom ( i want performance i dont care about UI bcz i will use golauncher so i dont have any problem on UI)
3.If i want can i go back to default rom if i want stock android rom? and also can i make it get warrenty back?
4.How to install custom rom ( step by step for noobs)
5.Tricks and tips related to android
i dont know anything related to custom rom ,flashing , overclocking , kernel etc plz help

Why don't you go over to the FAQ thread? Lot of your questions are answered there.
You say you are a "noob". Then get yourself educated! The information is around, you need just to read it. Even the step by step guides are there. If you are too lazy to even read the stuff that is directly under your nose, then maybe you should get a standard low cost feature phone instead.
Of course you could also get the xda premium membership, where for only 5000$ a month you will get a personal 24/7 support team of experienced professionals taking care of your every wish.

dude i m not that much retarded
i already read lots of threads but there is no thread which tells about weather we can get back to old or not
yes if u cant help then who asked u to post here?
i requested it to people who want to help
plz help if u can or plz stay away
thanks

People might help you if you ask nicely and show that you did your homework. They might even do so happily. For your questions:
1. This question is asked about once a week. There are answers.
2. This question is asked about twice a week. There are answers.
3. This is linked in the guides that are stickied. Here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955719
Google is your friend too: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site:forum.xda-developers.com+"Nexus+S"+guide+ "back+to+stock"
4. There are stickied guides.
5. That depends on what you want to do, but I do remember seeing a seeing a thread about it. maybe in the android general section.
So one question from me: What did you read?
You show that you have no interest in getting answers for yourself, but expect others to take you by the hand.

thanks for helping
sry if was rude
i had read lots of thread and searched google lyk hell from 2-3 days i dint get perfect answers for what i wanted thats y i asked here ;(

Most of these questions can be found in the Nexus S forum. It also helps to give details on yer Nexus model and yer carrier when asking for help. Some tweaks only work on certain models. The infamous signal question, well maybe you have a model that allows you to hack it. I don't so I'm still looking. Have fun, and remember to say Please and Thank You. That helps alot when your trying to get help .
