chad, you already asked this noob question in another thread you needlessly started. This is BASIC and has been covered a million times. Please do not waste space with a post like this. Read the wiki or do a search (google is your friend- "your search" site:xda-developers.com)
Maybe it should be good to start new sticky thread in this section with common WM6 upgrade problems for ignorant noobs that do not read wiki...
But I do not know if they would be reading it...It is so much easier to just start a thread and wait.

eh, I say forget the noobs. Ignore their topics or link them to the wiki.
noobs need to learn to READ on their own.

Actually I searched the WIKI and found this... I also posted the necessary cab in the other thread you started where you asked for help.
For someone with 6 posts to their name I'd be careful of who I called a ****... that is if I ever expected to not be treated as a ****.
on the top of what Dr Puttingham said there is one more location in the wiki where you can find it - right on the first place here. Do not blame us for your inability to search for information - that is basic skill for everyone online. And yes your question is being asked every two weeks on average...

ok well im not "blaming you for my inability to search for information"
im simply asking someone for help with something that i couldnt find anything on. imagine how youd feel if you just did something to your phone and couldnt find what happened and why its doing something its not suppoused to. you would be asking people too whats there to do if you couldn't find what was out to fix it.
all im saying instead of saying H0LY FUXZ0RZ R34D TEH WIKI JEW FUKN N00BZ
post the actual section its in and say this is in the wiki in this section so we can click on it and see it in the wiki
I'm sure the poor grammar, spelling and lack of punctuation had no bearing on the lack of search results. I've found an answer to every question I've had without having to be spoon fed every step of the way.
Diamond goes wiki
A wiki page has been opened for the Diamond since a while ago...
WIKI for Diamond
Please look here before asking questions on the forum.
All users can edit this page so you can all add information thus making it a better source of information.
-------------------------------------
I have put many Information in it ...
also some rubrics are empty at time... but i search and put all the time infos together and post it in wiki...
if you see errors or have more information feel free to edit/add that infos to the wiki!!
More major infos about the circulating (Shipped) ROMS are desired !!!
please any of the MODS out there made this Thread Sticky!!! --> THX a lot!
thx
FutureShock (Steve)
yes this should be sticky, but not in this thread, this is not ROM Development, yes its about the product but not specific to ROM Development.
Good work though
Hi, i think it should be sticky here too because many Noobs are coming to rom development forum and asking stupid questions... i have nothing to say there where some problems where ROM developers stoped their work because of always answering stupid questions again...
so i think this Thread is good here too!!
The only thing should be that all help together to put all Informations in Wiki too!!
i agree, though thats where STRICT moderation comes in, i know the guys have been a little slack lately (yes that means you too MrVanx and shogunmark ) but they are can take a few days off here and there.
Numerous "posters" have taken the habit of commenting without showing their signature.
I find this very disturbing as you do not know what they are referring to.
May I please suggest you put everywhere a STICKY reminder?
Keep up your b..... good site, Have a nice day and God Bless.
Mmmmm
Yes! it must be a rule... instead nobody read the rules..... but when we have time to attend those who has problems or opinions, we dont have enough info... maybe if they has it in their signatures, we have less posts unnecesary so it would be great that in login claim for fill these info with obligatory (*), before gain the access to the forum threads... what would you say?
and of course a request for the one who dont have and is new... thanks for read mods.
wait what are you talking about?
do you mean people are not showing their signatures (those little things at the the bottom of each post)? I suppose not showing it could be a problem if they reference it, but is that what you are talking about?
YES
Mr Mikechannon: (Or do I need to say: sorry SR!! but...I think...)
I like you to see some day the upgrade forum for HTC Wizard its full of people that bricks their wizards... why... cause he dont understands what he got on his hands...
For wizard is very important to know wich model to get the proper ROM if dont knows nothing about it...
This info is very usefull not comfort for the ones who answer questions and provides help or support... Never... its a pleasure can helps but then they starts to blame about this kind of thing... I know it doesnt matter but its so sad to read it.
Just read a little that has problems with dead or bricked wizards.

I know this is a hughe site, or tell us where to post to be able to ask for change the login info and make the user insert his info corectly.
Maybe I imagine this like an utopy but could be amazing have this kind of info by default.
Thanks just for read us GENERAL!!!!!
i see...
the thing is, alot of the problems in some of the other forums are not necessarily rom related, and rom questions could probably be better answered posting in the rom's thread.
despite what some may think, most problems are universal regardless of rom, at least in my experience.

I see your point, but you can't make certain info mandatory for users. Most of the time when users post a "problem with device" type thread, they usually mention which it is. For the Wizard users that don't specify which model, it doesn't mean much except they never knew there were differences from the beginning most likely. Just point out the differences and most will catch on.
Nice try...
Already tried so... i think that we need to make a sticky likely thread saying!!!!
Y'ALL!!! Put your info device on your Signature before post!!!!
Maybe they can read it with hughe words.
I'm very sorry but as good a practice as it is we cannot enforce people to do so, adding a sticky would clutter most forums as most of the time there are already multiple stickies there.
The best you can do is suggest to people to put in their signature or post whenever they feel it's relevant.
Best regards,

The Mods have to sticky your thread.
Geez, how nit-picky can you get??
I can understand the frustration of people who ask without searching or reading first. I've completely customized first my mogul, then my diamond.... and by spending far too many hours searching & reading (according to my husband.....)
I can also understand the frustration of newbies poking around in the dev areas.
But this is over the top.
Out of all those hours spent reading & searching, I've never seen a requirement to post a sig. Wouldn't apply to me anyway.... I don't flash ROMs. Personally, I don't pay attention to who is using what rom in their sig. I only pay attention to what links are there.
BTW, I never paid attention to it before, but it appears that the admin & mods don't do it either. So why the beef?
OK

Thanks The ChampJT i forgot to advise to make it stickie-
Nursie I dont know nothing about Mogul but maybe the time you have xpended probably would be less tahn you took but answer without info is hard, and because the web is so hughe, your husband is a knowledge of comun sense, happy to obligate to read and read isnt it?
So this is why i did it, hope some body in every Device that has problems with version and Bricked too do this.
Thanks for all.

I'm not sure Flar was giving permission, I think she was just saying that the best way to pass info to majority of the users is through stickies, but it may not be possible due to forums already being cluttered.
The theory is sound to add info to your sig but as with so many others in this forum I have a pile of previous devices and if I listed them all in my sig with all the relevent data, my sig would be longer than the message!
Plus, it would need changing every time I tried a ROM or added a supplier update/patch, I wonder how many have reflashed a ROM and not remembered to change their sig??
Also for the data to have some meaning you would need to include all software installed (interaction problems) and ever reg edit/Tweak they have added/removed. The list could be endless!
Its much easier for members just to try and remember to add the details in the message body when asking about problems with their device.
HTC Universal
HTC Startrek
HTC Wizard
HTC Hermes
HTC TytynII
HTC Touch Pro
HTC Shift
And still have them all...
I think the problem here is people not knowing how to ask for help. "Won't let me flash a ROM" and "Active Sync doesn't work" do not explain what the issue is. As a follower of Raymond Chen's blog and his war on people to ask the correct questions when requesting email support, there are a few things that should be mentioned in every request for help:
Specify the problem: What is the error, full details, error codes, message dialogs, etc. Or if there is no error, what did you expect to happen, why is something not working as intended.
What did you do: What steps have you followed to get to the problem (how to re-created it). And what steps have you taken to rectify the issue your self.
What is your environment: What phone are you using, what version of the software are you using, ROM version, radio / SPL / IPL, Windows version. Some of these are not applicable, but anything relevant should be listed. List other software you think could be contra-indicating.
This list is by no means exhaustive and of course, the standard Forum Rules on searching, duplicate posting, etc. should be followed. With this information, most people should have a clear idea of the issue and can offer the best help they can without having a long dicussion on all of the above points.
I take my hat off to the members that can answer questions without this information, they have amazing guess work.
Thanks
Dave
YES!!!
Everyone has good ideas, so forgive me for missunderstood the Flars answer... do what ever to help people efficiently.
Its our dont pay job.
But Im proud of it... yes getting all the info for you devices will be hard to put in 500 characters so... ask everytime.
i will edit the thread about the permission.
I'd like to edit or create a sliding panel in Ookba's latest EVO ROM release for IE. I have an idea of how to do it (or at least try) but would appreciate it if someone could post the action URL needed for IE and the icon/picture number. With those I think I can get into trouble on my own. I did a semi-serious search but didn't turn up anything that helped me out. Thanks in advance.
You guys are not following the rules!
This is a 3VO Rom question, and it should be posted in the proper thread , not make a new one.
All you guys are doing is making more clutter , more amount of results , when someone does a search. Please keep questions in the proper thread.

In genral the front page has become multiple "questions already answered" & "even non smartphone related outside of appropriate thread"
Yeah i'm b*chin
b.t.w roloracer your service icons look sweet
Okay, delete/move thread since I don't have the ability to do it.
Nailed On Da Cross !!! Lol
The funny thing is that in the time it took you to type up your admonishment I'd be willling to bet at least one of you (if not both) could have provided me with the info I'm looking for. Maybe a "Please keep all related threads together and by the way.." response. Just and idea. Everyone, including you, was a noob once.
* MODS PLEASE CONSIDER *
Double Post Sorry!!!
First off I Posted this in Q & A Also, because thats where I Waste ALOT my Time Trying to Help people, to just Later Find out that the Problem has Already been Solved! Lol...
I Can't even Count the number of threads I read from day to day from users that need Help of some sort with their phones, and that's No Problem! After all that's one of the many Purposes of XDA...
But anyways, after seeing how Useful the [Thanks Button] turned out I've been thinking why Not Add a [Solved Button] Also? This way people like me Won't try to Help Users that No Longer Need Help!!
I Mean it'll Save Space and Time Both! If this was Posted somewhere else I Apologize, but I Haven't come Across it!
I Really think this may also Help the Mods Close some of the Dead Threads that are No Longer being used!
Please Give Feedback...
Thank You!
I think the general Q&A forum has this function already...but it relies on the OP using it to set the [RESOLVED] status, which obviously isn't happening.
