[Idea] RUU Errors

a simple idea came across my mind....
since a large number of posts spread through all the forum are about RUU errors i was thinking if some of you guys out there will be kind and provide link to the wiki ruu errors page in your signature...it would greatly decrease number of pointless and useless posts like "what does error [260] mean"...
there is a link in my signature...just copy it....
additionally if you want we can discuss the form of the link itself so all of us have the same look so people get familiar with it....eg the size,color,additional characters,the text itself
i added a RUU Errors page in the FAQ of the main wiki section..
link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RUU Errors

sounds nice, could you pm me your code for it? Or post it here, after all it ain't a secret

no code...click my signature and copy the address from browser window
but i will add it to the first post

I meant the color & sizing codes, for similar looks.
see my sig.

sorry sorry
this form isn't the final one i was thinking of people talking about it so we get one nice...
but now let's stick to this one
size 3
color red
text >> Ruu Errors <<
if anyone has a complain or wants to change ti...let's talk about it

Thanks great idea just added to my sig

That was wrong with this wiki page ?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RUU_Errors
Dave

it is that wiki page i just made it in the main wiki section because if you go to wiki,pres ctrl+f and type ruu...you will get this thread....
otherwise you would use google which is a pain in the ass because there are a lot of ruu errors mentioned in threads like what is ruu error [270] and a lot of people don't know for google advanced search (like "site:" option)
or you'd have to know that there is one in HD section...which is less likely the case for most of the users...
if anyone thinks that it is useless and repeated...please remove it...we do not want our wiki to look like all hell

Nope
This is the thread I created : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RUU_Errors
This is the one you made : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RUU Errors
And here is the results of the search for RUU on the wiki : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?auto_redirect=1&pagename=TitleSearch&s=Ruu
P.S. I know a couple of the HD mods were updating the RUU_Errors page with the most recent fixes.

If you don't mind, can you copy all the usefull hints that are missing from the RUU_Errors page into the "RUU Errors" page (or vice versa if it's easier). Let me know which one has the all the info and I'll change the other to re-direct to it so we only have one page again .
Dave

so...the page in the main section is exactly as in the hd section.....i redirected the hd to the main...hope you don't mind
thanks for moving the link from the faq to the flashing part

Nice one. Thanks mate.
I've made it so RUU_Errors page will automatically re-direct to the RUU Errors page. So now there's only one to look after.

i edited the hd and artemis link...you're the main

With page re-directs you don't need to edit the links to it
Click here : RUU_Errors
Note the text below the page title.
Dave

yeah i got that one....but it is kind of stupid to revert those 2 links to RUU_Errors...i did it when i posted that the pages are same
thanks

Great initiative!
Any plans to add troubleshooting steps and distinguish between the "official" VS "modified" rom updater utility?
For example, I had an error 260 with the "modified" Raphael rom update utility while preparing a rom in my kitchen. The issue turned out to be a problem with a malformed XIP. It would go through the flash process (100%) but throw an error at device reset and the rom update utility would display errror 260.
Another scenario, is an error code from the HardSPL updater. Although the code may be the same, the resolution steps may be different.
Cheers,

well this isn't my work i so have no idea
and for the hard spl....it depends on hard spl itself and it depends from device to device...
they all would probably have the same error codes if they were created by the same developer....

Help! How to install Android on my Touch Pro 2?

== MOD EDIT ==
please check stickY
== END EDIT ==
Hi there,
First of all! Great forum! You guys have build a great community and I like it. But I hope you can help me with this. i know there are a lot of threads about this, but because all the different type of phones/android versions ect... I don't know what to do...
My question, how can I get Adroid running on my HTC Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium). I have the standart version, so not a branded one.
I've tried to install it but android won't launch. Maby one of you could create a mini tutorial or a noob tutorial, because I think there are more people like me (with less knowedge of phone tech) who want to run android on their phones. I hope you could help me!
Thanks!
Kind Regards,
Sami

Haret is part of the android program. (haret.exe)
You can either use a file explorer to navigate to storage card/android/haret
or with the .cab installs (anything after 2/22) you will get an icon in your start menu.

Hi Thanks I've used that thread but used the wrong cab. Didn't know that rhod100 is the standart version
Thank you! It works now, but is it a known problem that you cant fill in the correct code (PIN code for your SIM?).
And second I can't charge my battery with the usb cable is this also a known problem?
Thanks

I have Android installed on my phone and it works fine except one MAJOR thing. I messed up the touch screen calibration and now I can't use the touch screen in android and I cant figure out how to recal the touch screen in android.
Got it. i just deleted the ts calibration file from the android project folder and started android again.

Ok man maybe you can help me out with the problem im having. I go to file explorer and i launch Haret.exe and it immediately takes me to the linux booting page with the penguin at top. But it soon stops saying "Cant access tty. Job control turned off. And it doesnt move from there. What am i doing wrong?

delete all the contents from the .cab file you downloaded, make sure your memory card has wiped any remaining files from the original download, re-install and make sure you are downloading the correct .cab file for your handset, install to memory card and try again.

Yo Ihwparis chill out. This is a forum for information trading and gathering. Everyone was a noob at one time or another including you and asked questions that have been asked a million times already. Stop treating people like idiots. Help them or stop reading the thread. Someone else will help them out. It's not that serious. I can tell you one problem here that I encountered was a thread would be started and trail off into someting completely different never answering the first question. After reading pages upoon pages you get nothing. Some people like myself have real lives and real jobs and dont have time to sit here and read every post. If you take it so serious maybe you should sticky an informative how to guide and maybe that will stop people from bothering you so much.

I was actually on XDA for about 6 months, reading, before I finally decided to even MAKE an account, because I didn't want to be "That Noob". It was about another 6 months to a year before I posted anything at all. As you said yourself, most questions have already been asked a million times. This means that it is only a matter of reading, before you find someone that has asked the same question. In most cases once you find the question, and read a little further it leads you to the answer. He was smart enough to post in the correct sub-forum, which means he must have read through the forums a bit anyways. It wouldn't have taken much more work to read the top 3 sticky threads in that same sub-forum, and find the answer to the question.

I can get the whole thing to load however I cannot ever get the start screen (touch the androind to start) to ever let me touch it. The only thing that works is the keyboard input. Any suggestions?

Mobile PDA version (archive) not working anymore

Dear Admins
The links to the archive does not work.
Its by far the best way to keep up on threads as it is possible to see threads listed by the date they are startet... Never miss anything
A typical link is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/f-260 /DEV/HACKING section...
Could someone please get it back.

Sorry to sound like an arse, but what's "does not work" mean?*
I can access it fine, also putting .html on the link gives a different view : http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/f-260.html
*I'm a programmer, I get so many bugs saying stuff doesn't work.

Martinhdk, thanks for reporting it. We did have an issue with this earlier and it has been fixed since.

Forum redirecting via anchor

Have seen this on other type forums, but haven't figured out yet, how does it work here.
Redirecting to some part of text in one post can be done via anchoring. At least it was so on SMF forum.
There I used [iurl=#sometext][/iurl] for the link and [anchor=sometext][/anchor] for the place, where it has to redirect to.
Now, this is not SMF and I haven't found a working way for this. HTML and PHP codes, which I also have tried, do not work. If I try [ HTML] and [ PHP], then these comes in the boxes.
This is, where is the link
HTML:
Text to be shown
and this is, where it should direct to
HTML:
<A NAME="anchor">Text to be shown</A>
You get the point, right?
Is here a way to get it working also? I have a tutorial, which is already quite long, but not complete yet. It would be easier for readers to just click the part of the tutorial they want instead of scrolling through bunch of text.

This isn't currently available at XDA, but one way you can do it is to break your guide/tutorial into sections, and put each into a separate post, and hotlink to the post directly.
You can get the permalink from the post number at the top right (copy the target URL)

Is root possible on Verizon Note 4?

Or even just custom recovery?
Google searches result in both yes and no answers i dont know what info to trust
SM-N910V on 5.0.1
I've been out of the phone modding scene for a whille
Thanks to anyone who can give me the correct answer. Dont want to download these files only to brick my only phone

Check out the 'New Note 4 owner' thread above yours. Nothing definitive yet, but it's kind of a lead. Once you click the link, search for 'Verizon' and it'll show our phone, the download links, and the version of Android you need to be on. I haven't tried it yet, but want to. Someone in that thread said someone about the zip file saying Europe in the name, but 'Verizon(USA)' in the description on the first page that loads.

Yep, sad but true. That little unfortunate fact was pointed out in the thread I directed to by another in a not-so-polite way. I didn't even think about checking the date in the post until it was pointed out. Good thing I didn't bother trying it, yet.
