Finally, I kept wondering why XDA cannot be organised, and cannot adopt this system for all threads and stickies meaning all rules and XDA guides, should be here too, instead of being another sticky by another MOD. Thus the moment a guest or member clicks on this link or meant to pop up automatically the moment anyone visit this forum, they have it all.
References and guides and note worthy XDA articles can all be linked here . similar to the master guide you have already mentioned but including all the MOD's request , for every-time there is New MOD, I notice another sticky, all well meant and needed BUT can be placed in one sticky, is what I would think is a better organized forum. IMHO
And this thread should be managed by all MOD's instead of just one, who might retire or may be too busy with other tasks
Members, Please do not post in this thread unless you have a sticky request. Any off topic posts will be deleted immediately
If the title of my thread could be changed from 50 to 100, that'd be great.
Thanks.

Hi all,
this thread is started to give every device it's own Ask Away help thread. Although I cannot answer all questions about devices I do not own, I think this is a valuable addition to the XDA forum/services and hope that other members are willing to create these threads and thus answer questions about devices I do not own, that's what XDA stands for. I created a template for these threads, see the examples in post #2 and #3.. Really hope you are willing to use this template, cause it combines the best of two worlds: A very basic Q&A template and, whenever present, the Index Project for that certain device. Whenever you are prepared to use this, you will have all the information about a certain device you want and can get in one thread only..
When you decide to create a Ask Away help thread for a specific device, please place a link in this Ask Away thread, for two reasons:
1. So we know that such a thread exists and is created.
2. It can be added to post #8 of this thread. Thanks for your cooperation!!
BTW, if you want to start such an device specific Ask Away thread, create the thread in the Q&A section of that specific device!!
How to create an Ask Away help thread, using the template, see post #6 of this thread
BTW, the Portal team mentioned our Ask Away help threads in their News columns, see:

Nice work, this looks promising:good:
How to use the template?
Hi all,
this is the template I use to create these threads (I publish the template of the Z1, the only things you need to change, when you want to use this template, is the name of the device, the link to an image of the device and the link to the "overview" of the device): And when there is an Index Project page of your device, you also need to change the link. BTW, what you also have to do is place at the beginning of each sentence CENTER and at the end of it
/CENTER and insert [ ] before and after it. Do not know how it happens, but all the time I adjust the template with these CENTER's (even after going Advanced), they disappear after saving the template.

Can't override the team in charge of this section, because they know why and how they want things stickied.. You'll have to PM this moderator on the matter for any further clarification, but I wouldn't worry about it either way, it's pretty visible.
Moved thread to General
Hi all,
since this thread is moved from "about developers,com" forum to the "genera"l one, there are no reactions anymore untill now, is this accidental or not? If you want to move it to back to the "about xda-developers,com forum" again, please let me know, I only changed the forum on a suggestion by someone, who suggested to me that traffic in the General section would be much more than in the "About" section. Not have seen this yet.

I am going to leave the thread here. It will get the same amount of traffic. If a thread is not getting too many replies, then it's just that it is not getting replies. You can see many threads in both forums that are very very active.
This thread is more informational than needing a whole lot of action anyways, someone can read it and if they want to use the template can do so without needing to reply in thread about it.
So how it is right now I think is fine.

That's fine, but realize this takes a lot of work to create, so you're not going to have a million people lined up ready to make one in 2 seconds and post here.

Yes sure! But a few years ago an XDA user created a table with a full list of Custom ROMs with its characteristics ..
I was wondering if there was such a thingu pdated so you can see all existing ROM. The idea was to understand and see what are the ROM based on AOSP and which on the other for any devices.
As a senior member on xda, you should know how to use the search tools by now, or at least know an appropriate area to ask for help in.
XDA Assist is here to help new members find their way around, it's not a search tool for senior members. Nor is it a support desk.

Do a google search for:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
Or a search for:
"Stock firmware for (your model number)"
Or you can go to Sammobile .com or samsung-updates .com and use your model number to search there, you can then choose the newest firmware available for your model number if you want to have the most up to date firmware. Or you can choose any of the available firmwares for your model number.

The thread says it is for G930F, you have G9300. ROMs are built for specific model numbers but sometimes devices in the sane series can share ROMs. You'll have to read through that thread or ask questions in that thread to see if that ROM works on your device. Don't use it unless you get confirmation or see it documented somewhere that it actually works on your model.

When you get a total of 10 posts you will then be able to post in development threads. That's a standard thing they have in place here to keep new members out of development threads and give them time to learn their way around here and get familiar with the rules before they post in serious development threads.
Find the Off-Topic forum here and make some posts or ask more questions in the help threads and Q&A forum. When you get to a total of 10 posts then go ask in the thread the ROM is in.

Note- please read the post carefully to avoid any missing information. Thanks in advance
I am using samsung galaxy j7 2016 and rooted it using magisk. But when i tried to revert to stock after getting bored, it booted up and showed no command screen after flashing and on pressing volume up+ power button, it showed some recovery logs(image attached). Now i dont know where the issue came from. I also wiped efs by mistake but restored it somehow.
Now i decided to flash custom rom to fix this issue. I chose the rom which is flashable version of my stock rom. It booted up normally and showed all the efs info normally. But then i did the most foolish thing, i turned off developer options by mistake which also turned off oem unlock. I rebooted the device for no reason and phones says ' custom binary blocked by frp lock'. I tried to flash stock rom again to fix this issue but it encountered no command error again and i either cant access stock recovery.
Is there any way to unlock oem in download mode and fix no command issue.
I want to recap that i have a phone with inaccessible stock rom, locked oem and no access to recovery except download mode.
Please help me
