Introducing Forum Specific Mod

Hello, I'm reinbeau, and I am honored to have been appointed Forum Moderator for the Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking subforum. I'm here to help you and I expect the same from all of you. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!
I've been on xda-developers for over a year now, mostly visiting the Captivate forums and supporting where I can with the knowledge I've gathered on this great site. I've learned a lot here, hopefully I can share some of that knowledge - and learn more!
If you have any issues you need help with, please feel free to contact me through PM, or report the post by using the "!" button in the post.
Also, I will be doing some forum maintenance (combining threads regarding the same topics, moving threads or posts to proper sections and closing off-topic threads) to make it easier to find information here.

Respect your fellow members and follow the rules.
I am new to the forum world but my husband is an expert. I have a question that I have been searching google and every other search engine before I posted this. My husband and I have the same phone (bought at the same time) and it is a mytouch 3G 3.5mm Jack. He received the froyo 2.2.1 Android update for his phone a couple of days ago. I have yet to receive mine and I wanted to know if there is any way for me to manually update mine so I don't have to wait for the OTA update?
Thanks for the help and letting me join this forum,

Hey guys....glad to be part of this forum....xda, u guys are the best!
Hi, I've been nosing around here for a couple of months and thought I might need to admit to someone that I am addicted to this site and modding my Captivate. I really enjoy learning new things about my phone.
My Device: Samsung Captivate i897 running Dilli's Rom 5.6, Blue theme, and lovin every minute of it!

Hello!

Hello everyone, Ive had my desire since the beginning of Feb this year, just wanted to drop in and say hello instead of just lurking and "stealing" info!
Been using this site to guide me through rooting and flashing custom roms (GV 2.5 at the moment) Keep up the good work folks, anyone reading this and using the site for the same ends as myself, stick with it. The site is top notch for finding out all about Android.
Over Android-out.
** EDIT: oops, just realised Ive posted this in the Q section and not the General... sorry folks.
This forum lives from getting help and then helping others with these information you got. There is no "stealing". So far my opinion, based on experience.
True! Just meant using the info and not getting round to thanking for it! Have been trying to spread the rooting word amongst my friends though!

Are you a Noob with alot of questions? MYSELF & MANY OTHERS BEG OF YOU TO READ THIS!

Are you a Noob with alot of questions? MYSELF & MANY OTHERS BEG OF YOU TO READ THIS!
Hello Noobs, and welcome to the XDA Galaxy S3 US variant forums! I've been answering alot of questions in the q&a section, and many in the general section where they don't belong, regarding issues that I like to refer to as "Android Hacking 101". These questions are, but not limited to, things such as how do I root my phone, what is a bootloader, how do I get better battery life and maximum performance and make my gs3 the greatest most wonderful thing on earth that everyone will be jealous of? (I made that last one up, but you get the idea, lol) I was a noob not so long ago, and I still have lots of questions, but I've learned how to walk that fine line of asking a question without making anyone want to shoot me, and also how to effectively search. I have a website to share with you all and you'll find it in the link below. The website is galaxys3root.com founded by user zedomax and he has tons of sites specific to several phones! He's an amazing guy who has tons of knowledge that he's kind enough to share with the world. On his Site you'll find both written & video tutorials where he will personally walk you through the rooting process, installing a custom recovery image(cwm), and installing a rom! He will also review some of the top roms for each gs3 variant and describe the features of the rom in detail. His sites are a great way for beginners to not only get their phones rooted, hacked, & with custom Rom, but to actually learn what exactly all of these processes are. I will also leave a link to his Site androidroot.org, where you'll find a plethora of other Android hacking videos that will provide you with tips and information regarding android development, and he's also quite entertaining. Please check out both of these sites, and I promise you'll learn a few things if all of this is new to you! Please remember to thank zedomax if you see him here on the XDA forums. I answer most any questions for beginners politely and I try to be as helpful as I can by sharing anything that I understand enough to share. I'm far from an advanced user, but I'm an avid reader and I soak in as much as I possibly can here on XDA. If you are new and you have any questions after you check out zedomax's sites, then please feel free to PM me & if I can't help you then I'll at least get you pointed in the direction of a thread or someone that can. I did not make this post to bust anyone's balls, like I said I'm no pro & I had all the same questions not too long ago, but I've been seeing a lot of these questions floating around and I've been including these links in all of my answers so I thought I would just make a post with the links as opposed to answering the same questions over & over. Good luck to all of you, and enjoy your new device!
Sincerely,
Androholic

Hello Everybody! I am new here! Excited to be apart of this community! I've been wading through the forums for the past several days, and have got answers to many MANY questions, the knowledge base here is immense! However, I am not a guest anymore! I would like to know the Policies and Guidilines of xda. Any link please? Just for the basic ones. I have found this one only [GUIDE] - XDA New User Guide - Getting started on XDA, but its last update was done two years ago.

P.S.: I am a writer of a technology blog that is about Android as well as iOS! So I look forward to using xda knowledge to help people!

ADMIN please help.........

I have been searching for two weeks straight on how to root my Verizon (running on straighttalk) Samsung Galaxy Note 4. It is the SM-910V running 5.0.1. It has the kernel 3.10.40. I have tried multiple different ways of using odin, kingoroot, ect. I'm not sure if I am just doing something wrong or what? I consider myself fairly decent with software and figuring things out. However, working 4 12-hour shifts at the local hospital and taking summer classes in college has me a little frazzled. Can someone please direct me to a guide that will enable me to root my phone permanently. I would prefer not to have a temporary root but if that is my only option I am certainly open to it. I am not incompetent nor am I lazy, I am just tired of searching countless threads and watching countless video's to no avail. PLEASE HELP ME. Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated and hopefully someday I can return the favor.
Side Note: I am currently a Licensed Practical Nurse with many years of experience and working on getting my ASN-RN then I will bridge that to an ASN in CIS. Anything I can do to assist someone else please ask. Thank you for allowing me to join your group guys and gals!!!
Hi! Xda admin aren't the ones to ask for help with technical issues on devices, fellow members are.
There's a dedicated section here for the Verizon Note 4, https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon
The general section has lots of information, including root guides by the looks of it. After reading through those, if you still need help, you can ask in the guide threads, or in the question and answer section.
Good luck! And I'll close this thread. :good:
