Hi,

[Completed] Where do we post, in the main XDA Assist forum, or its subforum?

I am confused as to where requests for assistance should be posted. Do I see a forum -- and a subforum?
We have XDA Assist, which is unlocked to new posts, and then we have Post New Thread, also unlocked and accepting new posts.
I read the documentation for the main forum, and thought I'd post my assistance request there. I only saw there was another area after I posted in the first area.
Or does it make no difference? Sorry, but if this information is already available, somewhere, please give me a link. Couldn't find it!

It depends on your problem. The nature of XDA Assist is to help users in looking for the right place for their issue. For Ex. for your phone, we do not have a Sub Forum Defined. So you'd go to
> Android Development and Hacking
forum. Within it, you can either post in Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting if you have a problem you can't solve. Other wise if its a general discussion on the phone, you can post in Android General
Does that make sense ?

Question that started this thread is answered, may be closed.

Well ... still confused.
Maybe the threads XDA Assist and Post New Thread, are in fact one and the same?
They seemed to be separate, but perhaps I should take note of the first few posts in each, and see if they're the same?
Anyway, I posted in the XDA Assist thread, and it seems to be working -- I see my other post has one reply.
No one else seems confused, so I guess it's just me. :silly:

Different question from different thread answered, both threads may be closed.
So, I'll go to --
> Android Development and Hacking
and then, since it's not a problem needing troubleshooting but just something general on how Android works (I doubt it's phone specific) I think I'll put it into 'Android General'.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! And the instructions for this forum say the moderator will close the thread when the advice has been given, so please feel free to do so, now.

STICKIES For Newbs - BACKUP/ROOT/RECOVERY/UPDATE GUIDES

Hi fellow Z3 users and XDA mods! Hopefully this request/thread will reach the right ears! [emoji101] [emoji4]
I REALLY think Z3 users (like myself) would GREATLY benefit from some of the threads in the Z3 Dev section being made into STICKIES so that new owners (and those new to rooting) can easily find the right info instead of sifting through dozens of threads.
Example from Skyrocket Dev Sticky:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho... | USE/T.S. ODIN | INSTALL TWRP/CWM | ROOT |
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...MWARE | RECOVERIES | RADIOS | HOWTO's | &MORE
*Vincom maintains and updates his stickies and lays everything out where it's easy to locate the right info.*
Possible Stickies:
- How to backup the entire phone (including DRM keys) before one makes any modifications
- How to determine if your bootloader is locked and if so, is it one that CAN be unlocked
- Some explanation as to whether rooting and or unlocking the bootloader will permanently void the warranty and if so, can the process be undone so that we can return it for warranty if needed?
- A simple step by step and UPDATED guide to rooting & installing dual recovery
- A guide to updating to Lollipop ?
- ANY other helpful guides or useful info for new owners or those new to rooting.
There's so many different threads and guides to sift through here for Z3 owners and for a new user to find the "best" or most "updated" guide can be daunting.
ANYONE who would like to see certain guides as stickies PLEASE post a +1 below. SUGGESTIONS & COMMENTS WELCOME! [emoji4]
***MODS - After posting this I realize this may be better suited in the General section. Please feel free to move it if needed.

ill be watching

Thx guys! Comment if you can - even just a +1 comment is sufficient.
We were all new to this device once! Hopefully if we raise enough attention we can help make the Z3 threads easier for the new guys. ?

Please do not spam this with +1 posts.
Also there is a fairly good sticky that in the general section that had a good round up of roms, kernels, mods, guides and tutorials.

I meant no offence - it just seems difficult to find an uncluttered location and central guide to the basics for the Z3 like:
Backing up/Installing Flashtool and what drivers to select/Rooting/Flashing Recovery/Flashing ROMS etc.
I'm new to the Z3 but not to all of the above and I was surprised at how much information scattered everywhere there was on simply rooting our device. It'd be amazingly helpful if there was a basic uncluttered thread that guides us through this and made a sticky, possibly in the Android dev section.

No offence taken. There are a few guides in the GENERAL section about how to root. Guides belong there as they are not development.

What you are trying to achieve with this thread is admirable, but the very first response gives an idea of the fundamental problem - people refuse to read/educate themselves.
Your thread clearly states its purpose and intentions, and gets ignored straight away. The second query is totally unrelated too and has already taken this off topic
Good luck with this, but i fear it will go downhill fast...

Lol he didn't even bother to ask where he has been directed, he's not dumb, he's just careless, he posted straight away here because this is what he feels like, he's in a public forum, he dose what he wants, he just don't care and there's nothing to do...
