Seems to me like you're speed reading the WIKI in the same way people read a cheap book..... don't start at the beginning, read every other chapter then (and I'm waiting for this one) complain that the book was crap because you missed something.
20 minutes after your first post asking what a rom is you're suddenly 'expert' enough to discern that the HTC ROM is better than your ATT one. Well yes - you're probably right but how long will it be before you discover that your radio might not work after your upgrade (another 5 minutes) or that you can screw up without hardSPL (sorry missed that one 'cos it was in chapter 2 and I only read odd numbered chapters on Tuesdays).
Go away and come back when you've learned how to read.

LOL! Very true though.
Sepig. People are going to bash you if you don't spend a lot of time reading the wiki and forums before you post questions because you can seriously screw up your device if you don't. From your post, it will be a while before you can upgrade your phone.
Just go here and install this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
Once you've install that CORRECTLY, go here for the official kaiser rom:
http://www.zshare.net/download/45579378780722/
That only took me 2 minutes to do. Wiki is your friend. Remember that!

Thats very positive attitude, instead of bashing ppl like bunch of 7th graders you actually made an effort to provide exactly what the newbie was looking for... VERY NICE, I LIKEE
I totally understand that this is a very basic question but instead of loading your guns you should just point the person in the right direction like ericc191 here. Just think of yourself when you got your 1st pda phone ever...
Thats just my 2 cents..
cheers

yes, true... as newbie we just don't know where to start... BUT don't just read for few lines... then open a new thread to ask question... after few minutes more, find more answer and maybe more question... open another new thread...
allright, everybody is a newbie... but being a smart noobie and {whatever} noobie is different thing... try being smart...

Have you considered that I might actually be a 7th grader???
Anyway, a bit harsh maybe - but if people fall over backwards to help others who are too lazy or impatient to help themselves then we'll be as inundated with useless posts as the Hermes forums.
And fyi, I don't normally flame noobs if they've done a bit or real work themselves - instead I normally try to help.
Also fyi, I was mildly flamed as a noob - ONCE only. I went away with my tail between my legs and learned to read - once I could read I learned to write.
In a bizarre way, by flaming noobs you do help - 1. because you bump their post. 2. someone always comes along to help. 3. To get the help they have to read through the scorn at their (sometimes) dumb question or attitude so maybe they research better next time.
Besides the above I'd had a beer and a ****ty day

And the hard work from these cookers is free anyway (donations that is) so just do your home work first before posting. Is that too much to ask - an intelligent question?

Flaming is a bit pointless if done to someone who, as was obviously the case here, comes with a complete blank and probably doesn't even know what a wiki is and what/where to look first.
On the other hand, it's a perfect opportunity to throw one's wisecracks at the noob and entertain the forum. A bit too easy though, don't you think?
There is a difference between helping or spoiling

Totally agree! This forum is not started just a few days ago. There are plenty of info. to solve most problems. Encourage people being lazy is actually not good for them. No need to scold them but just point them to the right place to read. If they don't. Just ignore them. I've been ignored before, but now I am able to cook my own Kaiser ROM.
Spoiling people is not helping.
In fact I would propose there is a black out period like 24hrs to 48hrs that a newbie cannot start any new thread. They may post to ask question but not starting new thread as soon as they register the forum.
Sad but true.
It seems that people are not into reading these days. Such a shame, cause reading makes you intelligent ! *ping*
No but seriously, read the forum starting with the Wiki. After that please remind yourself that you are NOT an IT-geek which makes the whole process probably even more dangerous. After the coscideration that your computerskills utterly -suck- , click cross in the right-upper-corner and have a nice day.
with love!
I see this as a website to go to to find answers.
Similarly to how I would go to Dell.com (or whatever) if I wanted to find a PC to buy to play my latest game I bought.
I don't go reading through the technical manual on how a CPU or GPU works so that I know which one to buy. I look to the people who already have the knowledge to answer the questions I have.
Most of the regular posters on here (I'm guessing) already know a lot about flashing PDAs etc... especially the first guy who flamed the OP. If you don't want to share your knowledge then don't take part in the forum. Yes, there are people who are trying to find an easy way to learn everything that you know and I agree that they should do their research etc... but this guy was abviously wanting a few pointers and got blasted for it. Take it as a compliment that he feels confident in this forum to be able to prvide him with the bit of knowledge he requires to do a flash and then be done. He has never done one before and will never do one again so why does he have to spend weeks reading material that potentially could give him answers that you could write in a line or so?
Please, don't flame the noobs.
I find that more often than not they don't come back.
Look how many times he has replied to this thread since the first guy flamed him... none.
No ill feelings to the original poster, as we were all there one day,
but to see it as a thread headline made me laugh!!! Actually made my day!
No worries, ROM Flashing is easy as hell!!

Nobody get paid in this forum. You pay Dell for their machine so you may and should entitle some service. If you get some free service AND some free spanking in this forum, that is life, no flesh does not come with blood. Even experienced one may get spanked once a while by asking non-sense question. No need to be too thin-skin.
You may also be the lucky ones who has plenty of money and being pampered and like the noobs who like to ask million dollar question like "Which is the best ROM in this forum?" or "How do I flash my ROM step_by_step with guaranteed no risk?" or "Where do I get free SIM unlock service?" and expect an answer right away.
Many people paid to have their machine unlocked. Getting knowledgeable advice from someone is a service and entitled to get compensation for. Talk to a lawyer for advice, you will fully appreciate all the good folks in this forum and they are the one needed to be pampered and not the noobs.
One will learn and learn by reading this forum. It is more like drugs to me now.
He hasn't replied, that is good, that means he is doing reading and reading and reading..... If he is not, why he want to risk his $600 machine and ended up blaming everyone in this forum for not helping him or prevent him from doing that.
I don't think he was flamed by the #2 or #3 or # .... He is being educated! He is benefiting by this experience! The machine that's saved maybe his!
Please note there is a note in this forum which says:
Reading this Forum (Wiki) may be hazardous to your health!
Hey, I think it may also be hazardous to your family life, your love life, and/or your current job! Not just your machine!
Lets get a bit real here...
The name of this site is XDA-Developers. There is a bit of a clue in the title as to a certain amount of pre-knowledge. This guy asked what a ROM is - he could have got his answer from dictionary.com but instead decided to go to a group of people who are (or were) efectively researching on the forefront of the XDA pda's.
Most noobs (me included) have a lot of experience of computers but at first they don't have any idea of how to translate this into WM5 or WM6. But they learn quick because they already have the pre-knowledge to enter a developers site. This question was nothing like that and there is a greater than 90% chance that we'll be fending off the 'what is the best rom', 'how do I insert the stylus', 'how do you spell brick' type of questions unless he is discouraged from proceeding without some serious reading.
I know there are nice and nasty ways to tell someone what to do, but my experience of these forums is that people who don't read will not read the 'help granny cross the road' style of advice - but they do tend to get the point when flamed a bit (and it could have been worse).
Anyway, I hope he's gone away - keeps reading and then comes back a bit better prepared. And lets face it - anyone can flash a Rom, but not everyone can recover from a bad flash - and bad flashes is what we want to prevent at any cost.

Actually, I bricked my first PDA phone on the second day... That's when I found this forum However I managed to unbrick it. Somehow. Can't remember the how.
Hello all,
I've been reading these forums for a while, as I have a Tilt, but this is my first time posting, so I don't know if this is in the right place. Please move it to the appropriate location if it isn't.
My girlfriend just got a Quickfire, and I was wondering if there is anyway to mod it. I know it's not a PDA phone like the HTC phones, but I assume there is some way to flash the rom or something. I know it's early on, so there's nothing really on this topic. But if someone could tell me if it's even possible, that'd be great. And if there is a way, but this site isn't the place to look for that info, please tell me another site I could look at.
I apologize again if this is in the wrong place, or if my questions are goofy/unclear. Thanks in advance.
what os does the quickfire run anyway?
Its more of a feature phone than a smartphone, so I think that you are pretty much out of luck. I also saw somewhere that they were recalled b/c of a big bug. I'm sure Google can find it. The article I saw was that at&t stores were taking them back and giving you a free samsung propel in exchange. Kinda cool of them to do that for you...

I have only been a memeber for a short time and as a new owner ive had many questions, ive searched and researched amny hours on google and here and other sites and have easily found most all the info i have needed. but if i didnt find it i would have been forced to ask someone with more knowledge about the device and os than i have. I have really dreaded doing so, really have dreaded even posting due to the attitude i see new users get for asking a question.
Now dont get me wrong i understand the frustration of inexperienced users questions over and over, i too work in an IT help department at the local college and theres days i want to crawl through the phone and strangle someone.
I guess i just dont understand the attitude some users get for merely being inexperienced. Maybe its because this is supposed to be a developer site and the noobs arent really welcome or....I dont know maybe some of the guys that have the answers who are helping shouldnt be helping because the really dnt want to, but if thats the case why even reply.
I just dont get it, and im sure that i could catch hell for saying something but whatever, i guess im just a peaceful person and dont understand some of the hostility towards the noobs questions, i ean if a perrson wants to help then help if a perrson doesnt want to help then dont why is the attitude neccassary. I by no means know what some may know but id be glad to help anyone who needs my help provided i have the time to help.
I have spent the last 5 Hours reading everywhere and I may have actually read the answer but wasn't able to understand it because I don't know the terminology. If anyone can answer this question for me I would greatly appreciate it. I actually love this site and how knowledgeable and kind the people are on here. Thank you and if there is already a post on this, give me the link and I will take this down. Also, if anyone has any knowledge on how to do it, PM me. Though just knowing its possible helps a lot. Thanks. If I'm missing any information you need, ask.
Not without cloning an ESN from a Verizon phone and since that's illegal it can't be discussed here.
Is there any possible way it can be discussed somewhere else? Thank you for answering my question though.
[EDIT]
Also does it change anything if I have a contract with Verizon? I mean all I wanna do is move my number over to this phone because my old one is busted. If I were to take it to the store, would they be able to do something?
To begin if you dont already, You need a sprint donor Phone that has been activated on sprint first. Like an sanyo innuendo.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G flashed to Boost Mobile
So, I've created a thread on LTE flashing before but this time it's going to be different I hope. I have browsed to the ends of the internet and beyond yet still cannot find any answers. It is crucial for my business that I learn everything about LTE flashing. Therefore, I am willing to pay someone to teach me how it's done. Rather, I want to hire a "tutor". Someone who can tell me all about it, show me how it works, what software to use, what "tricks" are involved and the that tricky method to get by the SPC code. I understand you have to write it to the phone so that when you send that code it is the correct one. But again, I do not know.
This is, of course, assuming that XDA has no problem with this.
I would love some help....
Admins, with this being somewhat of an "odd" request I will understand if it must be moved to another section.
