Oh good lord, look what we have here. You're inexperienced and you need help. Before this guide starts the most important thing to remember is; You're only a Noob if you say you are Look, I could tell you what you want to know but the truth of the matter is your thread that you are about to post is going to get bumped and piss people off because you will more than likley post it in the wrong category so here's some information that will help all you noobs in the long run.

Rule #1: "Hello XDA" <- At this point people already know or assume you are a noob and your chances of getting help are slim to none. If you're lucky someone will tell you to go check the qna which to me is the same as someone telling you to "Go F*** Yourself!" Don't sound stupid! Be confident and get right to the point!

Note: At the end of your comment, just end it with a "thanks" as this is more acceptable and prone to getting a better response than someone who is over-appreciative for a request for help when they haven't even gotten the answer their looking for.

Rule #2: "i've tried did work," Always use capitalization and proper punctuation. You come off as a person who lacks self-esteem and with little confidence. At this point you've gone from noob status to a knowledge-less noob which makes your chances for getting help even slimmer than they already are... Secondly, what you're saying makes no sense, no offense but use your head and edit your work, the edit button is there for a reason so use it when necessary and no one will notice or bust your balls.

Rule #3: Be confident in what you say and do. Be direct in what you're saying and get to the point. You don't need to sound like a dumb blond b**** who's drunk and helpless. It's mostly a nasty world out there but there are good people that will help you! Don't ever give up or in, keep trying until you get what you're looking for.

Rule #4: There are people who will put you down. Remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question There are people who will go out of their way to put you down because it makes them feel good about themselves. The truth of the matter is those individuals will have questions to things they don't know about which makes them hypocrites and therefore they deserve no respect.

Rule #5: If you are attacked by someone on XDA or in life, be defensive. Make the antagonist feel vulnerable, stupid and guilty for even trying to put you down at all costs. If your "foundation" is crippled and you do not defend yourself it is like walking around with a label "NOOB" stapled to your forehead and people will assume you are incompetent and therefore no help will be given!

Rule #6: Be resourceful, broaden your horizons, post in multiple places. Help is not limited to XDA... I am by no means a know-it-all but when I was in your shoes I made a lot of mistakes. Trial and error is a good thing, it is a very effective way of learning in actuality. I have used places like Youtube and searched and I found what I was looking for, helpful information. There are video tutorials that have been very helpful to me, just search and you will get help from multiple sources.

Rule #7: Be persistent! Never take no for an answer. Never give up and never surrender, empower yourself! If you are attacked, stand up for yourself and if you have trouble use comedy and make jokes, just be careful because people on here can be sensitive and you could get booted for awhile...

Well, that's my noob guide just don't take it too personally, I wrote it to be helpful and so that you can get what you're looking for the easiest way. Most people won't go out of their way to tell you this stuff but I can tell you from experience as a motivational speaker my guidelines are far more effective than when I see someone post a thread: "HELP! nOOb here" or" Noob Needs HELP NOW PLLLLLLEAAASSEE!!!" or "Phone crasHED what DO I DO!?!?!?"

Poeple are not only not willing to help but they will probably laugh at a thread with a title like that and it will probably give them enough of a kick to make their day while you still have a severe issue that is not humorous by any means.

Good luck.

Note: To all non-noobs you may now laugh your ass off if you haven't already.
