As with most forums, users tend to ask the same noobie questions over and over again. This annoys a lot of forum members, including me.
Now I, myself, walked into the lamppost.... And got stuck with a few easy to answer questions.
So for the rest of the newbee questions, please add them to this topic.
=====================================================
1. How do I backup my current ROM? As in: What do I need and what do I need to do?
2. What is "Hard-SPL"? What does it do? What does it allow us todo? Is it risk free? Will it destroy my data? What happens to my current ROM?
Example:
I have a HTC Touch Diamond with ROM 1.35.404.4 NLD, so I downloaded this "Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip" and extracted it. I run "ROMUpdateUtility.exe", screw the warnings ... then it asks me to update ....
Thats the point where my nerd brains start to think, but I clicked it ... pfiew ... it asked me to update from image version 1.35.404.4 to 1.30.OliNex.
Now is my question of course: "What does this do and what is the result?"
=====================================================
My excuse for the two noob questions, but I have crawled this forum for quite a while and couldn't bring up a unified answer or "walktrough".
This is my first Windows Mobile phone and with my background ... I really want to "mess things up", you know what I mean
just for laughs,
1) what is the size of the diamond in points?
3) Is it a brilliant or princess cut?
2) Is there any fluoresence?
3) Which certificate does it come with?
4) What is the clarity? - Im after atleast a VS1
5) What is the colour? - really need it to be perfect, like D
I did actually predict these kind of posts from one of the "higher ranked members" here...
But be serious, if you know where to find the information ... why not link it for us?
This would A, discourage alot of **** posts and B clarify usage and usability to other users.
Thanks in advance.
this has NOTHING to do with Diamond ROM Development and should be locked.
Hi all xda members, i just like to help you to solve your problems as fast as possible. Being answered correctly and being solved fastly and accurately.
I am putting this because i had found large number of posts in which people got in trouble, just because they havent asked their doubts correctly. Also not all phones have same specifications so that a common answer may not be applicable for every one to solve problems.
So its all about the way of asking a question in the forum. Please read and follow these whether you are posting a new thread or just in middle of a discussion.
Always read stickies before you post. They are put on top because they can solve most of your doubts, and they can help you to understand what you should/ shouldn't do.
Before asking a question please mention your wildfire specifications including.
Rom
Kernal
Radio
Hboot
S-on / s- off
Tweaks / coustomizations you installed.
Memory card partitions info.
Then you must explain what happened,when you try what.
Eg. My phone got boot loop error when i installed "xxxx script"
If you are trying to learn some thing never ask in parts, ask fully.
Eg. I want to flash a new custom rom, so from where i should start. And never ask like this ; "i cant instal xxxx rom in my phone. Pls help".
Just make intentions clearely.
Dont blame those who helped you for the reason that they asked you to do a thing and you have done some thing else, which may caused you some problems.
Always remember that a straight and clear question will always give you a staight and clear answer.
If you follow these ways of asking questions , i assure that you may not get into trouble.so folow these simple rules. Be happy.
Regards
Shah.

Where did you find Jikantru on the Wildfire Forums? ROMs are device specific so simply lifting a ROM for another device and expecting it to work or "make it work", in your words, is foolish.
Again.. thiz is not q/a thread. Pls dnt ask questions here. And those who wish to replay, pls dnt do it here..

Hi, firstly wrong thread, you should have openend up a new post in the Q&A section. Secondly you will need to go to your manufactures website here and find a way to make an acount, then you will need to go to support/service software and then download your stock rom, extract it and take the music app. then push the app to system/app on the phone, set the permissions to the same as everywhere else and then reboot. according to here post #7.
Also i would recommend asking for support on that thread, after reading it, as people here do not own your device

How to unlock MTS
I am having a MTS MTAG, its locked to support MTS sim cards only, when i bought the phone i took it to my brothers place ( In another city )
for unlocking that phone, he took me to the nearby shop for unlocking the phone, but now the phone (by mistake) got a hard reset and now its again asking for MTS only sim card, no one knows in my towwn how to unlock mobiles ( small town) and the person in my brothers town closed his shop and left, I would have simply used an MTS card but MTS stopped his service in my state, so please tell me how to unlock it ( i think i will be able to do it on my own if i know the procedure). AND if it helps its a CDMA device. When i turn on the phone its asks me to insert mts sim and without it can cant operate it. PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!

Hi Guys,
Sorry if I am posting in the wrong spot, but this looked like the most applicable forum for these Watson's:
1. Is there any way to install Android 4.5 or Android 5.0L beta, like is possible with the Nexus, on the HTC One M8?
2. I've asked this before, but thought it might be worth asking again since things may have changes: given the nature of the bootloader being the same for the Android and Windows models, is there, or could there be, a way of installing Windows Phone 8.1, on an Android M8? I found some "Change my software" application, but I assume it's a fake, and really malware.
Thank you for reading my question, and please let me know if my post for the guidelines for this forum.
Kind Regards,

Ok, firstly this is a question and should have been posted in the Q&A section.
Secondly, the golden rule in XDA is "Search".... there are threads in the General section for both Android L and W8.1. These will give you all you need to know.
I'd just moved this thread over to Q&A and then noticed you'd created a thread there already so I deleted the 2nd thread considering this is now in the right place

Nothing on teh above yet, although windows 8 porting is being looked at
This is my second post. I was pointed to this relevant section of forums/
I am sorry if I am asking something I should not. I am not a technological guy, so I need some help and patience.
My wife has an old gt-i9082, it is at android 4.2.2. I think it is around 3 years old.
I would like to upgrade it to a better version because the cellphone system are already very slow and some app are not working anymore.
A friend told me it is possible upgrade to android 5 (or better), since the cellphone are not at warranty anymore, but I do not know how to do it.
It is a dual sin phone (I do not know if this is important), and also I do not worried if I lose all stuffs. I already back her agenda and some significant photos. I just want a new better operational android system.
So, I am asking for a step by step guide to do it, if it is possible. If it already exist, please point me to the relevant thread.
Again, sorry for my lack of understand.
Thank you very much for your time.

I would've posted links but it's not so simple on app, also if you can't be bothered to search and read on complex topics, which might result in you destroying your expensive phone, maybe you shouldn't be undertaking them.
What's wrong with today's society is people expect everything handed to them on a plate, with little or Jo effort on their part.

+1. I agree. People can't be expected to be spoon fed all the time. Just search it! It's that simple.
What else could we expect from a user (OP) whose nickname seems mispelled?
