look around the board lol LOADS AND LOADS of info here DIVE in !

check the stickies at the top of each subforum. You will find PLENTY of info and how-to's. Also, it really helps to just spend a few hours on here browsing around, you will be surprised at what you will learn.

Pretty much what everyone has already said, but I'd also like to mention the IRC channels. There's a sticky post for that. The guys in the chat rooms have been friendly and helpful in my adventures as an EVO newbie.

Goodness I know people should search, but why be an ASS to a person just asking something. No wonder this forum is so childish.
because people are lazy. for the most part they just want it handed to them. (give a man a fish vs teach a man to fish thing)
thanks for the information....

There is no official Froyo for our Epics, however there are several roms running the Froyo leak a.k.a. DK28.
First of all. Are you rooted?
PLEASE NOTE Post this type of questions in General section of the forums. This section is for development purposes only.
BTW. You will get more answers in that section, General
Thanks

You don't have to donate if you don't want. Just read read read read read and read. Then read some more. Play around a bit and don't be afraid to ask questions– just be sure to ask in General, or preferably the Q&A forum. If you get stuck, there are plenty of people who are more than willing to help, just make sure to try and help yourself first. Oh, and be sure to read.
Yes I am rooted, using Terminal Emulator Pro and Superuser

You should be glad someone hear tried to help you out. As far as I'm concerned people like you should be banned for a day every time they post in the wrong section or ask a question that has obviously already been answered in another thread! Do yourself a favor and read the rules and use the search button! Yes I know you have been told this but it seems like you need it drilled in your head.

You obviously aren't a noob but it seems like you don't frequent these forums much because if you did you would understand how sick and tired we are of this bull****! None of the new members take the time to read the forum rules, wikis or even have the common sense to just search. So if your wondering why he gets flamed then there is your answer straight from my childish mouth!
Donate your time. Start in the sticky, move on to the search. There is a library in front of you if you only look.

If you set on donating money you can donate it directly to xda itself to help keep this sure up and running

so then lets make him feel like **** and he may never get on another forum , wow dude cmon.
for all we know this mighrt be his first time being on a forum , i dont know . i just see giving him a hard time the wrong way to do it. you could have said hey it may help if you search . instead of name calling belittling.
just my 2 cents
people dont understand a basic thing.. the info on the forums most of the times is outdated and no one will know for sure until they try it out ... and for a noob .. its really scary to go ahead and give a try without knowing for sure if its perfectly accurate wht s/he is doing.. for eg i came accross a forum to root android device by downgrading to 2.0 which i highly doubt if would even work now.

[Q] can't find tutorial on how to root DHD

basically I'm trying to track down the quickest and easiest way to root my DHD. It's on bootloader .85.0019. I've tried searching on xda but had no luck. I'm new to rooting so go easy with the abbreviations

Where are these people coming from? What's so hard today that people can't use the search function? Typed root in the search box and here's what I got:

Look yea mate don't talk about me as if I'm an invalid, I just couldn't find one on this xda app. Wasn't asking for a sarky answer just a plain n simple one would of sufficed. Cheers for the link.

No offense, but this was quite an unnecessary thread. If everyone would think as you, there would be tons of threads like this one when people won't bother to search. If you can't get to a computer at the moment to make a proper search then wait 'til you have access to one. I'm just trying to help and keep this forum clean from filling up with threads that could be avoided if people weren't to lazy to use the search function. This also helps people to get solutions to real problems when they don't have to crawl through tons of pointless threads.
You're lucky he even responded.
There are alot of questions here anyway, and people who are too lazy to do a few searches don't deserve an anwser.
I'd bet if you searched the Q&A subforums you'd find a million topics like yours already.
Good luck rooting ...
Yea true I can imagine, but the search on the xda app ain't so advanced unless I missed something. I am lazy I suppose I could of just jumped on my pc but I'm still getting used to my DHD . Cheers.

No offence taken but I do see your point, the only reason I'm being lazy is because I'm getting used to the DHD but ill take that into consideration n keep my pointless laziness to a minimum n keep the forum clean

There are many tutorials within these forums that explain what I believe your are trying to do. Posting a question in this sub-forum is kind of rude. I would suggest doing lots of searching and reading. When you have a general idea of what you are doing, asking intelligent questions to a developer you like and learning from them.

Not rude just slightly inexperienced, but that's fine, at least this is relatively developement related. Alot better then some questions that get asked here.

Moved to Q&A.
Making a ROM and making an app are two totally different things. First you need to decide what you actually want to accomplish. Then read up as much as you can and ask more specific questions.

You are right about "better than some", but I have looked into developing and it is very intricate process. I would do more if I wasn't in school at night and with my very young son during the days. Just asking someone to outline the process in a forum seems crazy. How hard is it to research the subject before asking detailed questions?

[Q] Revert to old Firmware

I can't root my EVO 4G phone because the firmware is too new! any idea??
Yeah, do a search. Kthanks. Nobody can root 2.3.3 yet, and it is not possible to downgrade, just be patient
Wow a question in the development section....who wouldve thunk it....
When a FIRST POST goes RIGHT INTO the wrong thread. lol. wow! worst of all, the guy didn't even READ ONE PINNED THREAD. however, asking him/her to search is stupid guys. your search feature DOES NOT WORK. Needs redesigned! I tried to use it today. it's too hard. lol. there is NO easy way to direct it to evo's only.
This is just getting so old though

Okay, I guess I'll be the first one to enable someone who didn't realize a quick search on the web would be faster than joining XDA and posting an idiotic question regardless of what section it was posted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171252
You literally skipped right over this, it's on the first page of the forum. You wanna root your Evo? Donate to some of these people hard at work finding a solution. And before you ask about the youtube videos saying there's a method, it's a method that only works if you've previously rooted your phone and then unrooted for whatever reason.
*sigh* Read the damn thread that says READ FIRST so you don't get such hateful responses in the future
What is this "search" you guys speak of? Lol

Yes there is, I search the EVO dev and theme section quite often if I have a question, simply enter the section. And click on the search tab at the top, hell you can search a specific thread by going into it and using the same search tab. Anybody with a quarter of a clue and a couple minutes of forum time in their life can figure that out.

[Help]Wanting to flash to different carrier

So I'm on bs sprint and still have a little over a year for my contract to be up so if all's well I will be flashing me and my gfs phones to another carrier and buying out of our cantract since we're basically paying 200 dollars for the same service. I'm wondering if anybody is willing to help me out with the flashing process (this will be my 1st time) by directing me to the best carrier to flash to how toos and so fourth. I'm currently rooted and my gf isn't but I can have that done in minutes when it's time. I'm hoping to go to virgin boost or cricket if anyone knows anything about flashing to any of these carriers. Can online help? Please and thanks

Actually edfunkycold has been extremely helpful. No I'm not trying to be confrontational. My apologizes in advance if that's the way it sounds. The threads that edfunkycold pointed you to have the information necessary to complete what you want to do. There is going to be quite a bit of reading, and research involved. Especially as this is your first time. The best advice I can give you is read, read, and read some more. If you have any questions search the thread that pertains to what you are trying to accomplish. If you still cannot find the answer post up in that thread. Someone is usually around to help, in almost every thread. BTW, yes I do know how hard it is to search for answers to questions sometimes . Even though I've been around for a while, I still use the search function quite a bit. Sometimes more than I'd like to admit.

I honestly agree with u 100% edfunkycold cnexus and whiplash are always 1st on the scene when I need help. I just always see people saying to search. I always search b4 I post a thread and I only post a thread to get as much help as possible. There is no real filters on here and u could be stuck on the same thread for days b4 finding what u need. I also feel like posting new threads helps other noobs find things easier than finding something that was posted a year ago. I honestly meant no disrespect to anybody on these forums especially the people that's always helping and if any was taken i apologize

No offense taken at all. But read what you wrote. You feel that by starting a new thread it helps new noobs find it. You don't think that adds to the already hundreds of threads which exist, many of them repeated questions on the same topic? Now that is going g to make it even more difficult for a new person to find the thread with the correct information.
Keep in mind the longer threads with more activity are usually the ones with all the right answers. Some reading and searching will be necessary. Within the thread itself you can search that specific thread to get the information you need and the results come back in order from newest post to oldest post.
I search every day, I search mostly for people that are looking for answers. Keep in mind I do it all from my phone mobile so I only use the app.

Yes I understand that but thanks to people like u and the others I mentioned links are posted to those threads right on the pages we often look for. Even tho there are repeat questions not everyone has the same desire there fore when the links a provided we get helped as much as we can by this. This isn't a dispute or argument in anyway but a "noobs stand point of thinking" if that's what u wanna call it. Maybe this explains it or maybe it doesn't but it shows we have a high regard for this Site instead of going to another forum or Google searching our issues (which most leads back to here). This is a good Site and everyone is loved here especially by us noobs. I'm not sure if u seen it but a while ago I wrote a thank you post cause what u guys do here is awesome and if it wasn't for u guys my phone would be plain old vanilla my mind bored and a bunch of noobs lost hopelessly. Maybe if we can get some filters on here maybe for dates or key words or different updates there wouldn't be soo many repeat threads. U said yourself u search using your phone (as do I 99% of the time) how long does it take u to usually find a thread you've never seen on a topic u barely have any info about?

If you go Boost or Virgin you will need a donor phone,If you go Cricket you will not as they allow flashed phones on their system.Crickets service is OK but with a flashed phone you will always be 3G no 4G. The S3 is a fairly easy phone to flash you can do it with QPST. Or since you are in louisville the corporate stores can flash it for you pretty cheap.

Use this guide only instead of using DFS use QPST http://www.cricketusers.com/cdma-sa...galaxy-s3-cricket-talk-text-mms-internet.html you could use DFS as well I just prefer QPST and a note if you use QPST write two profiles enable both of them and just make one active seems to work better that way.
