It is a sad day for this community.
In a series of mishaps and mistakes, best characterized as the sysadmin equivalent of a perfect storm, we lost more than 3 weeks of our database.
It all started when we decided to move posts to a whole new system of forums. In that process we screwed up. But we had made a backup just before, so we decided to go back to that, dropping the screwed-up database. Then it turned out that the most recent backup we made was truncated bacause of a memory limit, so it was unuseable.
This dropped us back to an older backup, which in this case was Over three weeks old!!!
This means that we lost:
All forum postings since October 4th
All new member registrations since October 4th
Records of donations since October 4th (this is recoverable...)
All News items (recoverable too)
If you have any important postings still on disk, in browser cache, or anywhere else, we'd like you to repost them.
Re-working the forum structure will still hapen, sometime later today, and without any further dramatic losses.
I apologize for this event, and we'll work even harder to make sure something like this will never happen again.
index.php was renamed to index-f***.php ?
thus when i go to forum.xda-developers.com i see a directory structure ?
Unlucky for some
ahhh **** if lost all my previous post thing on the left hand side tooo
am i the only one who in the process lost all memory of what happend since oct 4 ?
That are really bad news.
I realized, that also the PM-Part have been gone. :-(
This was really a great bull****.
Also not nice to here, that you have so much work....
I think there are some more important things to do....
If I or anyone else could help you, just inform us....

That's sweet of you. Right now if all of us just keep posting good stuff and being positive then like any strong community, we'll use this setback to become stronger and better than ever before.
Hard work ahead, expect more (and this time positive) changes.
Maybe the forgot to swap the spectrums tape over

Time to start a new slate
By chance, ...
...yesterday night I launched a full synchronization of the home page, with a 3-level links deep detail, to check the forum during a flight this morning.
Would that help? :roll:
OH MY GOD !!!
More Power..... !!!
Sorry to hear that, I was really surprised when I was checking up the forum, all threads are old. I was looking for the screen rotation thread to install it in my xda.
Isn't there any way to recover the last 3 weeks data?
Let us know if we can do any thing, you have all our support.
You have all my support
It's sad... but we would go other this...
Let us know what we can do!

Good news

Just noticed that if I attempt to access www.xda-developers.com I get your message about data being lost and to try again later, however if I use the link to the front page which I have saved in favorites, I am able to access the board. Will this stop people accessing the board from a results list in Google or similar??
If I click on the link in this text I get this......
Oh ****....
We're having problems, and we may have lost some data. Please check back later.. :shock:

It is unclear whether your device is bricked or you can not upgrade it, please provide more details.
If your device is bricked (you can not boot to windows, you have no GSM error, you are stuck in tri-color screen(red, green, blue)) Pof runs a thread on bricked Hermes here. I suggest you ask here instead of WM6 forum. He has also posted how to unbrick most cases of bricking here. However I suggest you read the dead hermes? corrupted radio? Post comments here (first link I gave you) first. Good luck with your problem!

Well I am (senior) n00b myself, I just read before asking and my english is on average level. But that does not give me right to flame somebody right away. Maybe after some time I will change to flame thrower too

Karhu,
how are the females in Bratislava?
I have been meaning to visit for a long time but the movie HOSTEL made me think twice.
I bricked mine for the first time the other day trying to put on my own splashscreen (boring original T-Mobile ones ;-) and it was sticking at the Tri-colour screen as well.
So, after 5 seconds of panic, I calmly re-flashed the 1.40 radio and it returned to normal service (after which I, vicariously, some would say) tried my splashscreen flash and that worked OK too
Panic not. Breathe. Flash Radio ROM. Breathe.
It'll probably then be OK
Breathe ;-)
If it is OK, lie down and breathe some more ;-D

You can stay cool we only torture US tourists.... Women in that movie were Slovak (to get a picture..), beer is better here, than in Australia I think (if you like lagers - Budweiser (original Czech one), Pilsner would be your nirvana). Btw. movie was shot in Czech Republic - not even a square inch of Slovakia in it Hostel is IMO pretty weak movie, definitely there are many better horror movies out there (I personaly like the Grudge).

As this discussion is much better than another "helpthreat" I have to throw in my two cents: Slovakia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, we shared everything at that time - the knowledge of brewage, the prettiness of women and so on
Hey everybody,
New user here, I'm on the forum for about 3 day now and i reached page 40 on aplications and themes, i have to say there are some cool stuff your posting here.
I'm also a new user of WM with the HD as my starter's kit (yah I like to complicate my life) and I reached the conclusion..it's windows! it's suposed to be lagqy, get stuck and have al sorts of annoying problems to be fix. I was bumed out for a couple of weeks thinking I should have pick the I-phone but when I saw the commercial for I-phoneS (WOW look what does it DOOOO, IT RECORDS VIDEOS WOW!!!!! IT COPY-PASTE's WOOWW!!! ) I changed my mind, and realized that the HD kicks I-Ps's Ass any time . I'm still not happy about the laggy-nes, as I read in some posts if I flush the ROM and get another one it can get even 20 times faster...is it true? Cuz I was looking at Laurentius26's L26_THD V3.55_WWE_Ultimate [Full Rhodium] and I dont know what to do, if i flush the stock OS do i lose my waranty?
Also it took some time to undestand that manila stuff and why some theme work and some dont(or i think i understand), on my device I have manila 2.0(i think ). Oh, I found one time on another site(cant remember witch one) a theme that i liked very much but for HTC TOUCH, it was called Scrap Paper, does anyone have it for HD or know what I'm talking about.
Oh, and I remember, for a 900$ phone (as it is in my country), they didn't finde a small spot for a flash?! And the headphones are very miserable and low buget (my opinion)! Very desapointed about these 2 things!!! wow I shure wrote a lot, hope you can help me with the rom flashing and the scrap paper theme....sorry if i borde you ..won't happen again
hey there.im also quite new to this forum and this is also my first time using wm.ive had my HD for around four months now.its hard for a newbie to find things anyway it was for me.if ur wondering about fashing check out flashing for dummies in rom development http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377 it helped me.and yea u must be prepared to read a lot cos most problems are not new and some one has posted it some where.and if im not wrong the best way is to use the search
10x 4 the tip Sliv
As stated before most issues have been posted before so as long as you search you should be alright. Otherwise PM me and I'll steer you in right direction. Link provided above by sliv for the 'Dummies guide to flashing' is where you shoud post any further queries in flashing.
Try and keep each forum on topic, i.e. this forum is just for themes, applications and software. Any queries on ROM development or rom specific questions/amswers should be posted/found here. If you have a cooked rom on your device you do void warranty, but stock rom can always be flashed back. I suggest you read though thread link provided and the wiki for further info.
Just did a quick search for theme 'scrap paper' and got no results, so not sure its available. However if you ask someone politely who creates themes (lots of theme threads around) they may surprise you and make it . Obviously this depends on who you ask and how nice you ask them...LOL
Hope all this helps

do you mean Zitouns Paper theme ?

the op has posted several pics preview for his own 2.3 defy rom, but he's still working on it.
i think it's probably true, since he has already released several gingerbread rom for other devices...

Come defy the 2.3 ROM surrounding it. See 2.3 above defy it, the effect is good. Speed quickly. Just look. Also need further processing. 2.3 do not need to question the true and false. Kernel can be compiled, let alone version. I can change 2.8. There is no need to take the skin of 2.1 to 2.3 screenshot heart. You do not want to retain my own. No comments so genuine version. "
I cant read a thing, and I see no pics
login needed to see the attached pics there. i posted the links here, which should be accessible...

Maybe he is using the 2.2 kernel? I don't know
I can't believe it. But if it is true Defy has a great future.
Hi,
That sounds really nice !
I hope to see some progress on that
Regards
Wohoaaaa. . . way to go. No wonder chinese are leading in software and reverse engineering products.
I cant see the images.
i hope it's true and we can get further information. gingerbread and rooted without blur would make a dreamphone of the defy.
looks like defy is very popular in china, because on those forum thread they have posted alreade more than 700 messages about something in 7 hours
There must be some english speaking chinese people in here that could 'summarize' what the thread says for us here at XDA
how do we know the pictures are snapshot from Defy?
but nevertheless, i wish this device will get 2.2 or 2.3 rom soon.. doesnt matter if it's official or unoffical.

The google translate is pretty close.
This is what I can translate, my English by all means is not good so I hope it is good enough.
Come round and have a look at the defy 2.3 rom. Have a look at 2.3 rom running on defy, the effect/outcome isn't bad. Speed is quite fast. This is just for you guys to have a look. There is still a lot of work to be done. There is no need to doubt whether this is genuine or not, even Kernel(not sure whether it is the right term) can already be compiled, therefore 2.3 version will be easy. I can even change the version to 2.8, therefore there is no need for me to use the source of 2.1 and the skin of 2.3 to photoshop. If you guys do not wish to use it I will keep it for myself so there is no need to argue about whether this is genuine or not.
Hope this is clearer.
Thx for the translation, great news for our defy.
thanks Jiangchen..
it's a really great news indeed.
I have serious doubts regarding the validity of the provided information. If it is valid, I really wonder how the poster worked around the "signed bootloader/kernel"-problem.
Cant believe!
How will they do it?
Or the bootloader is still open!!
Maybe it is a little bit strange but every second post is:"Oh look so powerfull" (Google Translate). Are there any news or was it a hoax?
Hi there. On polish forum (android.com.pl) in MM2 section I saw a module/lib that makes milestone 2 screen recognize up to 6 fingers. I downloaded it and... inside there was ga1axy sign - and pretty much "defy" words. I tested it, everything works.
It was posted on some chinese forum, then on XDA (MM2 section i think), android.com.pl and its here now!
http://forum.android.com.pl/f262/6-punktowy-multitouch-dla-mm2-81922/
You have to do everything like in this tutorial
P.S.
Sorry ga1axy if this is your job, I just had to tell everybody that Defys screen can support more than 2 fingers.
Have a look to this thread.
