STOP making an ASS of yourself, I personally have no idea what you are talking about and cannot help but I am sure that with that attitude no one that can is falling over themselves to help you.
Remember, upgrading is not your birth right, it is a privilege, and quite often there are problems with the process. Stop acting like a spoiled child. Try doing a google search (although I did and could not find anything) or perhaps searching M$ knowledge databases. BTW, you have 3 posts and they are all about this problem. Have you tried searching or reading anything else on this forum?!?
If you don't have the patience for this then I suggest you head directly to the nearest wireless store and buy a "fone" that is a lot easier to use.

Default autoconfig *****!!!!!!
if u dont know wat im talking about shut ur ****in mouth im not asking you , do u understand that?
Anyone else think ass deserves a timeout or perhaps a ban?
Sounds good to me dcdivenut.
This is something best handled with a PM to faria or another moderator and a PM to the offending party saying you have done such. Though I don't agree with what he did, escalating the conflict on the forum doesn't help things and another thread is just more garbage for the rest of us to wade through. You could just ignore it and go on too.

Very true and that is done as well, but given that we have already seen the removal of ROMs from this forum as a result of folks like "ass" who act as if it is their right to flash new ROMs and then expect people here to drop what they are doing or go and cry to their providers, I thought perhaps a little public humiliation was in order.
Let's just say that I learned many a lesson that way in my youth although I certainly didn't appreciate it at the time!!!
I have certainly moved on, and will continue to answer questions when and where I can, and continue to point out when people act like asinine jerks.
Please forward any specific incidents of abuse or bad behavious directly the mods. Remember to click the ! button next to a post if it's dodgy, or just send us a link to the post.
The mods have a thread for keeping an eye on bad boys and girls, and will take action if required.
But everyone, please be respectful of fellow users. We all deserve respect; politeness costs nothing.

take a look at this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427531&page=18
i've been waiting for answer there
all we can do is just patient.
and if u still get no answer, u can also up your thread/post
also try to search for the answer here or google (it could be somebody knows the answer out there).
If you have a problem you can pm a moderator. This section is for questions and answers, not a blog or commentary. Therefore this thread is being closed. Quit re-opening up this topic or you WILL get a ban.
there's no point in complaining. people are doing their best.
as ingerasu said, all you can do is wait. not all questions have straight answers.. and believe it or not we don't spend 24 hours in front of the computer waiting for you to have a problem.
please stop flooding the Q&A section with new threads. it is pointless.
there's no point in further discussion. if anyone knows the answer to your problem, you will get it. but there are NO promises.
I will close this thread. refer all further questions about this to the About XDA-Developers section.

You got your 1st reply within 44 minutes, there are 1440 minutes in a day, so you are a factor 32+ off..

Your demanding tone required another approach.
If you don't like the reply of a mod: PM him/her, don't start provoking by opening yet another complaining thread..

Yups, that happens, we all have questions and sometimes there are no answers. Sometimes the answers have been given countless times.
But keep in mind this is a development Forum, it's not a helpdesk, it is a place where developers gather (all volunteers). We al had to learn, we all had to search, I personally have read thousands of threads, and still don't know everything, so I am still learning (most of us are).
If there is no answer we try to find a solution ourselves.
That is what I meant with being pro-active instead of complaining.

I got a PM from a member who had only 1 post, asking for help about an app. I knew about that so I replied him back with what he/she was asking for.
So, if a PM from 1 post member is there, should we reply to them or just tell them to ask in the community to not on PM.
Thanks
That is at your consideration
I have recieved PM form 0 post guests
So it´s up to you if you reply or not...
Common sense.

That is OK, but what is suggested by the community mods?
Sorry I didn´t see it was intended for Mods reply
Good day,
OK, I think it doesn't matter at all if to reply them or not.
OK. Thanks...
Orb, lamborg didnt ask just the mods, but (@ lamborg) u can choose not to receive pms form peeps if you dont want to... personally i dont have a problem with peeps pm'ing me, i have helped many via such.... sometimes noobs just dont want the fear of getting flamed, or sound daft so prefer to do it this way.... they also dont know how to search effectively to start with (lets face it it can be difficult sometimes when patience is low)
So as my friend says, personal choice... if you dont give out personal details, what harm can it do...... you can guarantee the question has been asked before.... so surely it helps not to further dilute the forums
man i can ramble sometimes after some wine haha............
Just curious if anyone knows off-hand the requirements to have a signature, as i know there are limitations to new members such as the 5 post thing.
If this is a retarded question, flame me lol. I may deserve it. but i cant seem to find the answere, although i only searched for a few mins, but figured a thread here could help others as well. Thank you in advance

Welcome to forums
I think you have a minimum amount of posts in order to "unlock" to full use your XDA account, this is to protect members from bad intentional persons.
Not sure but I think something around 10.
After 8 posts they will allow signatures, but it takes a hour or two for them to update your account after the 8th post.

Thanks, I needed that. I been going to UserCP for the past 2 days with only 5 post.
Can't say that having a sig is something that I need....but anyways, have fun!
Ok great. Now I know why I can't have a sig now. Thanks

Perhaps not now but when you become an active member you´ll see how useful is to have a sig with some of the information you want others to see as what is your HTC device
Lol good thing I looked around the forum. I was like "How do I change my sig???". Definitely an XDA newbie here
Thanks for that robertgibson
Yah, thanks. Something new for me as well.

I was actually just getting ready to PM someone about this and decided right before I hit the submit button to do a search for this. Good to know. That posting limit is kind of annoying, however I understand why.
Awesome glad I did a search before asking this!!

been looking all over for the answer to this question! The search function out here isnt very helpful all the time!
Glad I found this! Thanks for asking the question. Gotta work my way up to that 8th post!
So, here's my first pretend post out of the 8 or ten or whatever it is today.
Mindless control freakery isn't it?
Anon.
(until further notice, or I may make that permanent in honour of this situation)
Actually I only joined after a lot of lurking, as someone asked a question about rooting on a particular 7 inch tablet; I happened to know and was happy to share the answer, no one had answered the OP. Having joined to answer the question for this cap I then found out that forum says no noobs, so that's not going to work out in a sharing the knowledge sense is it?
I also wanted to comment about the G+ Social thing - that needs more posts too, which does not seem an entirely sociable way to treat a noob.
Don't you just love a bit of irony on a wet Thursday night?
Oh and a great app for working through the five minute posting rule without wasting your life - KitchenTimer on the app market.
I would have (in fact did) make a link but guess what, another rule! There's a pattern emerging here.
It said "thanks for understanding", which looks awfully like an assumption from where I am standing.
Is there a forum where us noobs can just get the limit post over and done with to placate whoever it is that is getting off on having the limit?
Or is the only option we have the one of driving everyone one else crazy with ten posts of made up, really annoying, noob questions?
That does seem the most likely outcome as it stands, regrettably.
Due to apparently not being allowed to edit posts I should point out that when I typed "cap" above, I would have liked it to come out as "chap", but life had other plans.
I too am grateful to find the answer to the signature question. Post 3 - 5 to go.
Hi guys,
I already have 10 posts and still can not post in the developer forum for the Desire HD.
I just want to inform about bugs and ask some questions.
By the way, the rule is kinda stupid.
And I know what I am doing. So don't worry I won't brick my phone
Me neither
I also find it weird that you can donate but you can't post
i smell noobs...
Same here, was trying to post in the netflix thread list of devices I got it working and not working on, but I can't. I run my own forum(different topic) and I understand locking certain areas of the forum for paid users or thing like tech archives, but how the **** am I supposed to give developer a feedback if the **** is locked?
I smell morons...
okay first of all watch your language and no forums are locked only particular threads are locked for people getting into fights and various other reasons.
and you cant post in developer forums because your still a junior member.
ya, i know what im doing and i wanted to be able to flash MDJ's CM7 Rom to my phone but i can because i cant get into the forum.
You can post in the dev forums once you have 10 posts. But this won't be instant as the forum updates the accounts every hour or so...so it will happen soon
