Hello proud SGS-owners!
(Beware, wall-of-text)
I've been lurking around the xda forums since I got my first Android phone (Hero). Now that I've gotten myself an SGS I've "moved" from the Hero forums to the SGS forums. My first impression was that the SGS forum community is far behind that of the Hero community, which is understandable considering that SGS is a much newer phone and doesn't have as many users (yet).
I never felt that I had anything to contribute to the Hero community because it was already flourishing when I came there. I'd like to help the SGS community to move forward and reach that same level, and hopefully beyond. The SGS have the potential to be the real (iPhone?!) kick-ass phone we've all been waiting for, so why not have a kick-ass community?
It took me hours, scouring the threads, to learn how to safely flash and root my phone, but it was well worth it. The problem is, most people don't have the same patience or time to do so. So, for starters. How about we combine our shared knowledge and put up a post that will hold all the necessary info on all current FWs, basic info on how you flash, root, what odin is, how-to's and not-to-do's, and so forth.
All of this can and should also be put in the wiki, but I believe we also need a thread for it here or many people will miss out on the info. Perhaps something in between, the best of two worlds? Right now the SGS wiki is really lacking...
Any ideas or opinions? I'm all ears and open for discussion
To the mods: You can move this thread to general if you think it's out of context. However, this is first and foremost targeted at the dev-community so I think it should be left here.
Best regards,
Marcus

Great idea to collect as many information as possible. But there's a already a thread for this: the big faq thread.
I like your intiative though. And yes, it would be very nice to have an updated wiki.
BTW, for the general section it would be nice to have a sticky tips and tricks thread, like the one tboy2000 created for the HTC HD2. We need someone though that will maintain that post.

Shame on me. How on earth did I miss that thread?!
Do you know if you can you let other people edit the original post in some way? That would help alot

I surely does ... But i don't believe it can be done.
BTW that would be a nice tip for XDA-dev forum developers: create an option to let multiple (selected?) users colaborate and edit one opening post. But then again, that would be almost be the same functionality as a wiki
I agree with the op, the faq thread is good but this forum could really use a 'getting started' thread for people that just got their phone. And it should be in the general forum instead of development.
Hello, I'm reinbeau, and I am honored to have been appointed Forum Moderator for the Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking subforum. I'm here to help you and I expect the same from all of you. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!
I've been on xda-developers for over a year now, mostly visiting the Captivate forums and supporting where I can with the knowledge I've gathered on this great site. I've learned a lot here, hopefully I can share some of that knowledge - and learn more!
If you have any issues you need help with, please feel free to contact me through PM, or report the post by using the "!" button in the post.
Also, I will be doing some forum maintenance (combining threads regarding the same topics, moving threads or posts to proper sections and closing off-topic threads) to make it easier to find information here.

I am new to the forum world but my husband is an expert. I have a question that I have been searching google and every other search engine before I posted this. My husband and I have the same phone (bought at the same time) and it is a mytouch 3G 3.5mm Jack. He received the froyo 2.2.1 Android update for his phone a couple of days ago. I have yet to receive mine and I wanted to know if there is any way for me to manually update mine so I don't have to wait for the OTA update?
Thanks for the help and letting me join this forum,
Ashley
