new user - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

hi! im new here! but where do i begin to start modding my phone?

hey bud. welcome to the forums!!! i dont want to get into this on another thread, but read my pm...which i will send in a bit and i will explain everything you need to know.
just a tip from now on, though, the best thing you can do is search and read, but check the pm. i hope it will help.

The bible's the best place to start. Check the noob guides and etc, then move onto the ROMs you can check out!

jager555, that was a LOOONG pm! thank you so much for all of that. i will be trying it all tomorrow. im looking forward to flashing the rom!
thanks to you both for the info!

no problem, man. enjoy the new phone and the new mods.
remember, read the op and thank our dev's and modders!

how to cook ROMs

Can someone please walk me through producing my own Rom? Am a programmer if that helps. Please. I wanna produce my own ROM for WM6. Please help. Thank you
visit the wiki
"how to cook" and "how to build" are two different things, since you a programmer, which one did you mean?
I my self can only cook, not build...
building ROM
I guess i wanna be able to build my own ROM. I guess i should start with cooking so i get an idea what its all about. What do you think?
Good idea, you can start with Laurentius26_v3 kitchen; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309375
Just follow the instruction.. and see how it goes, ill be glad to help you through.
cheers buddy

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..

oooo not a good first post... good luck sir
this dutty latest

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.

I feel a 'brick' coming over the hill
Thanks for your advice guys, i'm totally new to this just didn't know where to start...So i'll take your advice and disgest all the information i can in the next couple of weeks to get a better understanding - before i do anything to my device. I'm sorry that my post sounded so lame, i just needed telling straight as i wasn't confident of what i was doing to be honest...
Thanks for you time in replying...

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!

Please help. Need to go back to stock evo

Hello everyone,
Can someone please point me to a stock 4.24.651.1 rom? I need to get my phone back to stock. I rooted with unrevoked. I can only find odex or deodex (sorry if wrong) versions. I would like the original unrroted version if it is out there. Please, I have searched and just cant find what I am looking for. Even just a point in the right direction would help as I just can figure this out!!
1st wrong section
2nd you didn't look to hard
3rd - here you go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141
I tried that and followed that video already. I cant find the stock rom that is not rooted and some of the info I found there seemed out of date with a rom that was to old to use according to my phone. Im sorry if this is the wrong section. Im not sure shere to post. I thought this would be the appropriate section since I found a lot of ROM stuff here. I would be happy to post elsewhere if I knew the right place to post.
Maybe you were looking for this?
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic
Keep in mind, if you are rooted, you will lose it. If you install any of the 4.2 ones you wont be able to root it again until they come up with one.
YES!!! Thank you, I believe that is what I need. I really appreciate you pointing me to that site. For some of us who dont get on the threads alot it can be a bit frustrating trying to find the right info. I appreciate your help and not slamming me for asking my question.
Nobody will "slam" you for asking questions but thy will for posting in the wrong section. But it was nice for Chamala to answer your question and let you know it was the wrong section.

Another mirror and a great resource: http://goo-inside.me/supersonic or just http://goo-inside.me if you want to browse all they have to offer.
Also this thread in these very forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
I don't bother fighting the wrong forums, not searching, etc anymore. It's not worth the effort and XDA mods don't really care anymore, especially with the EVO becoming a budget phone.
