Is there any eta on when we are going to be able to flash these phones? I cant wait!! Lol

You're going to have to. Eta's are frowned upon on xda.
Was just curious if anyone has heard anything. New to Android

Understand your frustration - all of those with the bad luck of having or OTA'ing to MF3 are going bonkers. . .Really don't have any clue since this appears to be one of the truly hard fixes (oops... exploits) to find.
As to friendly Android folks, well actually there are. Even here . OK, you are right that XDA is different. Some threads are rather prickly and if you jump in with a "stray" comment they jump in and flame and complain.
But other threads are more mellow; and you can see the same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, question asked again and again and someone will politely (more or less) answer these queries or refer the questioner to the right spot. . . So, that's not unusual. (sorry, the hot/repeat question these days seems to be . . . .MF3 ETA! :crying
But all this in not unique to Android. In the Apple support pages, which I frequent every now and then for my MAC issues, I found some rather brusque replies and non-helpful at that! It's not a function of OS. . .it's people and organizational/group culture.
XDA is a real mix of intense, "bleeding-edge" developers and users, who push their software and hardware in very dynamic ways, but who also can be edgy -and not in a good way.
XDA also has "normal" folks, who drop in for help, or add something they like and (unfortunately) sometimes even want to share it with others .
Finally, XDA has people (some with surprisingly high numbers of posts!) who have hardware or software problems and need help, but are also clueless. Sometimes folks in this last group are in need of help AND they are impatient or even demanding of the reply posters. . . that's kind of not a good approach!
I guess that makes XDA sort of like real life, it all depends upon who you meet!
There is no doubt that XDA can be a bit off-putting if you don't connect in the right way for the particular thread. but is that happens, don't worry about it! The next thread will be more helpful or understandable, or maybe even friendly . . .
Good Luck

There are plenty of nice people dankify... I'm one of them. But when I saw the title of this thread, my mind instantly went "uh oh".
It's something most of us had to learn on XDA, and it's usually the first lesson. Never ask for ETAs for anything. Never ever ever. There are some that get very bent about it, and in some cases understandably so, since everything done on here is done by donation and lots of thankless free time.
I'm no coder, I'm a leech, so I just try to help out where I can. I'm waiting for the MF3 bootloader unlock too, and it'll come. We just have to watch the forums and be patient.
Also, welcome to Android. I think you're going to find that you like it here, this one bump in the road aside
I appreciate it. Ya I'm so glad to have gotten rid of my crapy apple. Am able to do so much without mods that was needed on the iPhone to even do some. Can't imagine how cool it will be to get a custom rom. Hopefully soon

Sorry man, there are a lot of friendly and helpful people here. Just some etiquette to learn as many of us have been here a long time. The best thing you can do is read, read and learn. You'll always get a helping hand if you follow that. Welcome and the best to you!

Is it just me or is there WAY too many ROMs now? To be honest, options are always good, but it seems there are so many different ROMs being pushed out and that worries me. It seems the Development thread is getting polluted with all these roms. Most of them seeming useless, at least to me. But what do I know?
Note: Maybe I'm getting tired of waiting for TW
This thread is D.O.A. People complain when there's too little activity in the dev section, but I've never seen anyone complain about too much activity...
Just because TW is your favorite team, doesn't mean they should be the only ones posting roms.
This has got to be the most BS complaint the vibrant forum ever had. Well that's just what I think don't know about what the others will say.

<rant> For god's sake can we please stop with posting threads like this? Its of absolute no benefit to the community. Like stated previously by tgc first people complain the community is dying nwo that its thriving yall want to complain more? If you think something in the dev thread is of no use to you then dont bother with it, choices are good, and i for one am glad that there are new roms being put out there by new devs/dev teams that are giving us more quality stuff to play with.
So once more I implore not only you but everyone to please stop posting these useless threads. </rant>
I for one am a fan of choice. Whether it be aosp, sammy themes or ports. Bring em on. If you like a single choice that's well received, I hear they call it an iphone

I think sommthing big is coming. It's been a week since anything big even roms! Im confident in this community and yesterday there was an unlocked boitloader topic that was removes because it gave to.much info. How often does that happen. I didn't get t read through all of it because once I was done with page one it said it no longer existed. Im super excited let's rejoice

This is weird.. -_-
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
One of the reasons it has been quite is because there is an update soon. Kind of pointless to make a rom (or new version of an existing one), and have to redo it again to make it work with the new update.
Also that topic was deleted because the op was posting an IM convo that the developer didn't want being made public. It didn't really prove anything conclusive.
It also doesn't help that devs have to make a bunch of worthless posts like this one so we can reply our post in the dev area.
I have info for 2 different threads in there, but since I'm too new, I can't respond. Eventually, I'll get the minimum junk post quota done, and can tell them what the nvflash method described will and will not do. Till then, I'll just keep playing around silently...
Your right but even after the Op deleted the convo the whole.thread was removed. Im just saying a hint of optimistic outlooking

There is nothing wrong with optimism, I agree; however, until there is an actual way we have to be careful because they don't want moto finding out and then quickly fixing it.
The real risk is moto blocking methods we use to gain root, or to back flash to an older SBF...

Have you tried talking to the devs on irc? They're still hard at work just not posting on the dev section because it all gets jumbled and messy

drock212 is correct, the devs are hating the dev subforum at the moment because of all the useless posts and information. If you jump on IRC and STAY QUIET UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY you learn a lot about whats going on, as well as learn some new things about how your phone works. That's what I've been doing for the past few weeks and it's helped a lot.

depends what your config is, don't accept the recent OTA's if you haven't yet. www.unrevoked.com is all you need to know for rooting.
Yeah unrevoked was really easy. Now I am a flashaholic, and you will be soon too, lol.
A great place to start is to read the stickies and faq's, rather than posting a whole new post to ask something that's already been asked thousands of times.

This forum is actually for general discussion. The Q&A forum is for help. Though I suppose help can qualify as "general discussion" it's still pretty disingenuous to think that this forum is more suited for helping than the Q&A forum is.
One thing I've found is that people that don't want to put any effort into doing research/experimentation themselves (before asking for help) are the ones that tend to end up with broken phones or just really weird phone issues because they simply follow directions without having any understanding of what they're actually doing.
So ultimately you are burning yourself, but not necessarily in quite the same way as implied in one of the above messages.

by burned yourself, he meant that people are even less inclined to help you now, but you are being a child if you expect a person to type the whole process of rooting just for you on this thread because you are too lazy to read the dam stickies wich already explain it far better and in much detail, its on you friend....next time if you want people to help you, dont act like a spoiled brat

I think its dumb you guys locked the ics thread. Regardless if it was drews actual post or not the whole point of android is do what you want and ics and a port and thread and comments and rants and what not is the whole point of forums like this. Hello nexus s development has not one thing on it about ics. That should seem odd. Maybe I need to fire up my nexus one. How can we progress if u take away the online progress. I understand the guy has his own site and what not but that was are only insight into ics on xda. And we use the only phone that's going to get it first . Stop being online nerds. And let people complain there going to do it anyways. And then its too complicated they way you want it. Every post is not going to to as nice a professional as a cm thread. Let people talk that's how you come to understand not every body is a phone guru. You need conversation as well as knowledge. I'm just sayin. Now when is beta 10 coming who knows but I bet the guy with the random twitter post knows more than I do but we can't share that info now. You guys are missing the whole point. Just sayin. And to anyone who is personally offended sorry excuse the marijuana and red stripe. Helllllllllo laddddddy lol

Stop being logical - let this guy fire up his Nexus One again and remove some of the nonsense drivel from these forums.

The best thing about xda is the vastness of knowledge,profound by any means ,, so my suggestion is why cant we all together[I mean who use xda and x10 (still seriously)]share our knowledge and then whole community can be the developer.
Its like, you know how to do, he knows how to pack..... Or atleast we could all learn!
There are still many threads teaching and stuff but none to actually and mutually promote learning!
I have been following this forum since long and am pitching just when everything looks dull, hope I find the right frequency.:thumbup:

Hi,
this is a good idea, but we have a Thread from Champ.
In this Thread is all clear and very helpfull..
I can personal help out with problems, builds, fix issues....
Only Kernel cooking is not my lovely stuff..
But i must personaly say...the performance is finish.
We can not more give..we have not enough RAM.
:crying::crying:we must accept that the time is more and more to end..with our GREAT x10:crying::crying:
but i will always help
First thing,can we have all that we got to achieve,, I mean some sort of goal, this could make work focussed.
It would be like, ics bug free... Or try (realllly hard) to get a jb! How much ever buggy, god am already dreaming!
