[Wing, P4350 General] ivanmmj:
New? Read this before you read anything else.

1Q. What is a Herald?

1A. A herald, is a device created by HTC. It is also sold under the HTC P4350, XDA Terra and the Tmobile Wing.

2Q. So the Wing is a Herald?

2A. Yes. But it has a different keyboard layout. Everything else is the same and ROMs from each other will work aside from the keyboard layout being

wrong.

3Q. What's a ROM?

3A. A ROM is the firmware (think of it like the windows installation) that your phone runs. There's the stock ones known as the "Official RUU's" and

the custom ones, known simply as "ROMs."

4Q. How do I flash a ROM?

4A. Read the sticky that tells you how here.

5Q. So the stickies are important?

5A. Yes. Read them first and you'll learn enough to ask intelligent questions and actually get answers that don't say, "READ!!! %#@$"

6Q. How do I flash USPL?

6A. USPL is NOT a ROM. It is a TOOL to flash other ROMs.

7Q. What's an NBH file?

7A. Read 4A.

8Q. Can I flash a Herald ROM into anything that's not one of the devices mentioned so far?

8A. No. You don't use diesel on a gas car.

9Q. Is HARDSpl permanent?

9A. Yes and no... it cannot be overridden unless you run USPL along with your RUU... If you don't understand this, please research and read some more.

10Q. I just installed HardSPL and now my device is stuck in the bootloader and gives me an SPL of 1.XXX!!!

10A. The intructions for that post specifically mentioned that you should NOT use this if you had an SPL lower than 4.xxx to begin with. I'm sorry but

you'll have to bring your phone to a repair center.

11Q. I just installed HardSPL... now I can't install my RUU.

11A. Did you read 9A? If you want to reinstall the stock software for some unknown reason but don't want to loose the HardSPL, you'll have to recompile

the RUU NBH so that it lacks its SPL.

12Q. Why are there so many stickies?

12A. Because we have a nice but sticky happy mod. If you don't like it, you haven't read enough of them. READ THEM AL.Alol

13Q. Can I ask you questions before reading the stickies?

13A. No. If you have, it's because you didn't read this... which consequently means that I've sent you here to read.

14Q. Why are people mean to me?

14A. You didn't read, bricked your device and then complained about it... read.

15Q. Why does everyone want a black rom? Why not a Puerto Rican rom? Or a white Rom?

15A. That's a weird question... go away.

16Q. How long should I wait for an answer for before I post another post about it?

16A. Indefinitively. If no one answers in ONE WEEK. Then bump your own thread. Do NOT create another thread. It might be cause for someone to beat you up... cause we've got our thugs that do that kind of stuff for us... we're watching...

17Q. Why did you miss # 10?

17A. Made you look.

18Q. What's the best ROM?

18A. It depends on your needs.

19Q. Ok, then what's the best ROM for me?

19A. Pop quiz: What's the best possible car for me... and no, you can't ask me questions. Off the top of your head, without knowing anything about my needs and wants. What is the best car for me. And mind you, if you get me something I don't like later on, I will come back complaining...

20Q. I have a Terra. Where is the RUU?

20A. Right there with answer #20154221445. Yea... it doesn't exist.

21Q. How do I install XXX?

21A. Did you read the walkthrough/readme file? If there wasn't a walkthrough included with it, is it a cab? If it's a cab, then run the cab... from the phone. If it's just random files, usually copy them over the windows folder. USUALLY... not always...

22Q. But it gives me an authentication error when I try to install this.

22A. Make sure that if you're installing... say.... the CommManager. That the CommManager isn't open in the background.

23Q. Is it ok to ask a question completely unreleated to the subject on a thread?

23A. No.

24Q. Is it ok to ask about a bug fix for ANOTHER ROM on one ROM's thread? Their ROM doesn't have this bug.

24A. Is it ok to go to Ford and ask them about why their Chevy has a leak in the radiator by design?

25Q. Why won't the cook give me a cab file that he used on his ROM?

25A. He didn't use a cab file. He used an OEM package.

26Q. Why won't he share his OEM Package?

26A. If it's a program he made, it's his intellectual property. If it's a program he didn't make, then he just doesn't feel like sharing for one reason or another. I don't read minds, so I wouldn't know.

27Q. If you can't read minds... how do you know all this stuff?

27A. I read... and cook... and read... and umm... yea... OK I CAN READ MINDS! STOP IT WITH THAT WEIRD LOOK!

More to come... stay tuned.
