[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
I agree with some people being lazy and want things served on a silver platter and that comes down to lack of responsibility and what to do when tey encounter a problem. This is where it's not all wrong when asking are you born after 1990. The genrations after that is used to get everything served for them, there's really not that much they have to do to get through life. Most things they need get's paid either by the state or the parents. In Denmark you even get money for going to school (college, university).

I like the way society takes care of the week and people that want's to educate themself and so on, the problem is that they don't encounter much problems in that way untill they all of a sudden is grown up and have to provide for them self and then they even expect to get wiped behind by somebody. They really don't appriciate the things given to them, they just take and expect to get it. Really a lack appreciation and humbleness of what's given to them.

Anyway to boile it down it's easier to just ask than do anything your self, why work if it can be served. I don't get it and feel some pride in solving a problem myself or atleast try to and that is missing in those generations. Really. I know cuz i have a 17 year old and she's really bright but has that same thing if it can be served that's much better than doing any work herself ;) But then you just lack a problem solver and where is the urge for getting new knowledge and the adventure getting there, to where you solved the problem yourself?

Thats the effect we see here at some point and then there's just lazy people all together.

I just read a thread and i think that's what @logseman is referring to. It was not poorly writting it just had alot of capital letters and therefore i stopped reading and i see your point in a different light now @logseman.

To just ad something: I think a lot of people appreciate you @logseman here on xda and you do contribute and I think this forum or any forum would be less colourfull without. I don't allways agree with you, but i do think you are contributing to this forum and always is argumentet and well spoken and that's really great and inspiring and it's also good to get others perspective and point's of view in life and question them aswell.

Still thee's never any excuse for being rude, demeaning or arrogant and so forth when interacting with other people no matter how they behave. It's understandable that you react to what you're given and can't control it, cuz that's what it is, a loss of control and even more a lack of love for a second. If you always act with love you'll never be angry, hatefull and so forth with the negative doing.

Regards Dousan...

Ohh and you can be as friendly in your tone as you wish, but if the things you say are disrespectfull i won't matter, you're still being rude, agressive, demeanig etc.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Do you not get what people are saying? How people choose to write has **** all to do with you. Who do you think you are? If you dont like the way someone writes, dont speak to them. But you have no right commenting on there grammar. Do english people go on about the fact that every year your government gets on its hands and knees and begs the EU for billions of euros in financial aid? Most of witch comes from the pockets of the british tax payers. You want to talk about respecting ones country. Start paying your own way.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
I get what you people are saying: you want to keep being lazy, not researching, and obscuring your texts on purpose. Admittedly, it takes a bit more of time than if you wrote that correctly, but I can handle :) I am a member of this forum, as are you. And if I don't like the way someone writes, I have all the right to comment on their grammar, particularly when he's asking a question towards the forum members, a collective which includes me. Believe it or not, I have the best of intentions: to understand the question he's making so I, and everyone else, can be helpful.

Fortunately I'm not my government. In fact, I abhor what my governments do, as they assault on the very fine English people's pockets in order to rob them and take it for themselves. And if it's about comparing people, we Spanish have the civility to protest peacefully when we do so, while your fellowcountrymen and women have shown a remarkable tendency to pillage and destruction. But I would say that topic goes out of XDA's reach, so no further comment will come from my side.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
@logseman one thing you've got to understand is that you can't change what people choose to do. You can only change how you act, interact, respond on matters others do or yourself. You can ask people if they would change their behavior cuz that would make things easier for them and you, but it's up to them to do it. You always has to stay within yourself and change you as you want to be. Be an example to others and inspirer them to do the same. So be as you want to be and people will follow, not because you tell them so but because they choose to. You can't force or demean or correct anybody to do what you think is right, that is judging and restricting. They need to decide for themself. So in the end you can do this all day long and get nowhere unless it's what people wants to do and i'm afraid that your approach is just as hostile as the people you're referring to, cuz that comes from annoyment and not from 'I want to help' and love.

In the end it's really how you choose to approach things that matters if you want to change things.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
Dousan, I don't have to set an example, nor am I willing to do so. I'm no teacher, no father, no guiding figure, to the people who post here (or to anyone else, actually). As you very well say, I can't change their behavior in any way. And I don't intend to: I'm not being normative here, but positive, as economists say. Writing poorly is a conscious choice, and it makes harder to understand posts. Those are things I'm not making up... and those are the things that I'm pointing out. In the end, it's up to people how they wish to relate to other people: I've never said the contrary.

Well just steel a car/van and hook up with som real OG's and then it's straight forward from there ;)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mozza2k11:
@Dousan. I fully agree. Being born in 1987 (close enough to 1990 ;)) i see all the problems you are describing. I think it has alot to do with a persons upbringing/surroundings. I myself have had to do everything myself in life no handouts, paid for my own driving lesson, my own car + insurance, house and everything else i have (btw im not looking for sympathy lol :p. I wouldnt want it any otherway). I think it has made me a better person in the process.

On the other hand i have many friends who dont even know how to do basic everyday tasks since everything is given to them on a silver platter. But thats life lol :rolleyes:. IMO everything started going down the toilet when smacking children became illegal, in the uk anyways. I myself and many others of my generation have little to no respect for anything/anyone, we do what we want when we want with no real punishments.

@AndroHero & Logseman. I agree with both of you. On one hand no one has the right to criticise another person on how they write. On the other hand tho, if i have taken my time to write proper(ish) english then on some level i also expect some form of understandable english in return.

Most of the time i think AndroHero & Logseman are two sides of the same coin :). You are both very knowledgeable but have very different opinions (most of the time). Which is a good thing after all if everyone agreed all of the time it would make for none engaging, ridiculous conversations.

The same goes for Dousan i have found yours, AndroHero & Logseman posts very helpful and informative (dont think im forgetting people there are loads of people on xda who deserve thanks)

Final point @Logseman. I am totally disgusted with the so called "riots". All it basically came down to were chavs using it as an excuse for some free stuff. But the majority of the uk were furious @ these scum. Many people went to help clean up and made donations to the affected people. Still no excuse for what happened.

I guess none of the above is on topic but this thread seems to have turned into one about opinions so screw it ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcu1ture:
My major problem with this whole ordeal was that OP could have been 9 years old or English wasn't his native language (there are people that live in the States that don't speak American English).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat_On_Droid:
He said smart android users to answer his question. I :-/
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
I dont have any issues with logseman. Like you have said he has made an enourmous contribution to the forum, and 99.9% of his posts are productive. But he seems to expect everyone to have the same level of intelligence as him. He does not understand that some people using the forum might be young, or have learning dificulties, some might be dyslexic, and others might just be unable. Chastising these people for transgressions out of there control is wrong. And borders on bullying.

Either way i've said my piece now.

:)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdlaurin:
All good guys but andro is borderline douche sometimes but otherwise helpfull. My vote for future mod though has to go to logseman
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
I got a bit carried away yesterday. I apologize.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HearthC0re:
Sorry guys but i am with Logseman on this one.

I myself am not anywhere near a native english speaker, but still feel like my heart's ripped out everytime i read a poorly written sentence/question/statement/rant ..

I feel the same with my mother tongue aswell as certain slumb-slangs.

There is a 'How to Root' thread in development, if i'm correct.

On the 2nd and third pages there are multiple questions that are essentially the same, and even doing the same thing: Posting a NON-DEVELOPMENT question in the DEVELOPMENT forum.

Now.. you have probably spent about 30 minutes reading and writing in this thread, right?

You would've needed about that amount of time to Read through 3 Threads concerning your problem or question.. downloading what their oh so polite replyers suggest and trying it out yourself.

As you stated, you've done stuff like this multiple times allready with other phones, so you should be somewhat used to using the CMD aswell as a few scripts here and there.

Good luck, have fun, happy bricking.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilbuddy419:
You sir are why I started this thread in the first place. It is very apparent you are at least un able to read english. As I said I am not looking for help. I do know how to read. Yes I have one of them there education thing. I may not be able to spell or use correct grammar. But that does not take away from my ability to read or fallow directions. My point to this whole thing was, can we try to be a little nicer to the ones asking for help.

No I have never used adb, fast boot or cmd to root any of my phones. However I have been using dos since windows 95 so I am a little familiar with it. so I will try to enjoy bricking

My phone. O and thank you for proving my point.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
TL DR

Poorly written posts don't get 2 seconds of attention from me. If you Type Like This, or don't know how to use punctuation and spacing, they you don't care enough about what you are asking and don't deserve an answer. Also coming in here and claiming ignorance because you're a n00b, is no defense. There are sticky threads at the top of the forum. heck if you even try to start a new thread the forum auto searches for you and gives you a hint like hey maybe you should search.

The problem here is people come in with the attitude that this place should do something for them. This place is a collective, the only money exchanged here is for bounties, but I'd say 90% of the dev work on this site is done for free. But people come in under the guise of being a "n00b" and expect people to bend over backwards for them. Their posts push useful threads on to page 2 or so, just far enough away that other "n00bs" come in and miss them and post AGAIN.

I was a newbie on this site a few short months ago, before I had a play. I spent 3 days looking around and reading stuff before I finally posted a question asking specifics on topics that I just didn't get (like specific rooting steps not "whats the easiest way to root?"). Thats the way to do it, and I figured that from just common courtesy. Same way I wouldn't walk into my local Corvette club meeting and demand people help me swap my engine.

Ok maybe I read a little.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kershner25:
As someone who just came to this forum seeking information about rooting, I have to agree with the OP. It's a very anti-noob and unfriendly atmosphere to begin posting in. Hell, I remember my first post I had to slather with a bunch of 'OMG forgive me I'm a noob' mod ass-kissing because that's the vibe I got. And as usual just about every reply I got was 'use the search.'

No ****? Really? You mean that thing you use to turn up outdated, sometimes relevant, non-specific information? Oh man, it's almost like I do that every time I come to a forum for help. Thanks for assuming things about me. Maybe what's more likely is that the instructions for rooting an Xperia Play are ridiculously complicated (you may not think so, being an XDA dev; but 15+ steps is complicated to everyone else). No, this does not make me a "noob who shouldn't be rooting his phone." Rooting is not difficult, it is complicated, and the only guides offered to someone like me are posts on this forum that are written for someone with obviously way more familiarity with the procedure.

I got off on a tangent there, but the bottom line is - if you don't want to answer someone, for whatever reason, then just don't. Don't waste everyone's time posting a bull**** reply like "FIX YOUR GRAMMAR BRO" or "USE THE SEARCH". Instead of posting that useless ****, spend your time helping a different newbie that perhaps doesn't repulse you as much.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdlaurin:
Fix your grammer bro and use the search.

I dont ever see a one click root for the r800x as from what I can tell you need the boatloader unlocked to root it wich requires a code
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilbuddy419:
Well said. This was the point I was trying to make before my grammar and spelling came into play.

No you cant one click but tbh made it simple. I will wait and see if there ever comes a root method like that.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdlaurin:
It was a joke you ****, just was repeating the last guy. Forget douche your just a hateful little man.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deoxlar:
Wow. People still going at it here. Androidhero, weren't you the guy that got mad at someone asking in the development forum on an issue about keeping root after update? I'm the one that called you mean.

I've never been a **** to anyone else but the op of this thread. I'm only rude to people who are trying to justify the lazy ****heads in society. I don't even rage or talk to the lazy ****heads regardless of what I think about them.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Haha What a wanker. Dude you a ****ing looser and your winding me up now. Who the **** do you think you are calling me a douch, at least i help people. 250 thanks prove that. What do you do? Nothing. So shut the **** up talking about me until you do do something productive and can run your mouth.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
This thread has nothing to do with people asking stupid questions. I agree with everyone on that point. (Especially posting dumb questions in development). It's to do with people having a pop at others about there grammar, spelling and punctuation. :p

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Anyone here know how to open/browse/extract files from a .kdz file? I've spent the last hour or so searching via Google and can't come up with anything that works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Did you try winrar?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yea it gives an error. Does it support that file type?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Have you tried 7zip? I've never seen an archive it couldn't open, it's like the VLC of compression.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I haven't tried that one. I'll try it as soon as I can convince my wife to stop shopping so we can go home ... lol ... Thanks for the suggestion.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Just tried it and it wouldn't open it. Bummer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Which file are you trying to extract?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
The GB update kdz file.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
You need an LG Utilties program to extract the KDZ files. There are some out there for the KP500 and GW520 but not sure if the same utility will work for the G2X P999 files. After that you need a program called unyaffsmbn (zips on internet) to extract the files further. Here is a GW520 Utility zip (attached to post) that I haven't tried yet. I was trying to do the same stuff you've been playing with. I haven't tried to extract the files yet. Another way is to grab them while someone is using the KDZ program to update their phone. The files are extracted and put into "C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone" but as soon as the program detects no phone the entire directory is blown away. Too fast to grab the files. If someone is updating a phone the files are there long enough to copy, but I am not going to update my phone again just to grab the files.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
They already have the GB update in the Development section. You could also just download the source code from LG.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
People are after the baseband. That's not included on the rom files you mentioned.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Thanks. Will play around with this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Sorry for my response. I did a internet search and got a lot of weird results.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Nah its cool. I was hoping I'd missed something and it would work. It didn't lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
This was my first approach but I didn't know where the files were extracted to so thanks. I managed to grab the extracted files by creating a symbolic link named Phone in that LGMOBILEAX directory. I pointed the symlink to another dierectory. I named it Test since I wasn't sure if this would work. I then ran the kdz updater (without my phone attached of course) and it extracted the kdz file to .\Phone which in turn saved them in my .\Test directory. The updater aborted when it detected there was no phone and the extracted files remained in the .\Test directory.

So now I have 2 files (it only extracted 2), Star_Model.dll and a .wdb file that is undoubtedly the firmware because its like a 180MB file. I tried extracting from the firmware using a couple different versions of LG utils that were floating around because they have an option to extract files from a wdb file, but they keep giving an error. I'll keep trying lol.

Any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Exactly. I don't know why we don't have a flashable baseband yet and maybe my approach is going to be a dead end. Is a flashable baseband even possible on this phone? I dunno lol. Nobody seems to be paying it (the baseband) any attention.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
I want to see a flasable baseband and other wind subscribers would as well because to get it we would have to flash the gb update. That changes the splashscreen to tmobile making it unable to change back since we don't have the stock rom that I know of.
