Before you start modifying your device it is recommended that you adjust the following two settings:

Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging = TICK (Yes) and Settings->Power->Fast boot = UNTICK (No)

Before doing anything to your device I'd recommend that you read the various threads within the first section below, entitled GENERAL GUIDES so that you are familiar with the various terminology used and you never know you'll probably find an answer to your problem. It's also recommended that you install adb/fastboot onto your pc before you start to touch your device so that you have the required tools to execute the necessary commands and to provide other users debugging/logcat information regarding any issues you encounter, this can be a big help when attempting to fix/solve any subsequent problems you experience. You'll find a guide on how to install this within the GENERAL GUIDES section below.

[OFF-TOPIC + Ex-DS SANCTUARY]
Due to the recent closure and movement of the various device specific OFF TOPIC threads, the old DS OFF-TOPIC & SANCTUARY threads have been combined, relocated and re-opened in the OFF TOPIC section, the good news is that you're all more than welcome to come along, visit and subscribe!

FRIED eMMC CHIP?

I've not tried any of these actions myself as I haven't yet experienced this issue, I'd recommend that great care should be taken before following any of the advice given, I suggest that you at least read and attempt to understand first, if you don't understand then create a new post detailing your own issue and experiences so that others can assist you and point you in the right direction.

The errors below don't necessarily mean that you've a fried eMMC chip, so don't panic just yet. Many users have experienced the exact errors below and have gone on to simply resolve the issue and use their devices again normally.

Many Thanks to abhi0n0nakul for starting this thread, kartkk for helping make the transition and for the new layout plus everyone else whose posted suggestions or positive comments! and out of interest the hundreds of THANKS that this thread appears to have were all actually for the original OP and not me!

i think we got already enough stickys
we got 1 kernel, 1 recovery and 3 roms (MIUI, kingdomds and flyerport are no more worked one)
imho a index thread is useless for this little choice on roms

well firstly its not only roms and kernels ...
lots more useful links to be added

and only 4 roms would not be the case...

in few months it would be flooded with roms. and new users find it very difficult to structure all the available roms..

so its everything in one place..

nearly all devices have a section like this..
i have the same section under galaxy 3, htc desire s and htc sensation

Thanks for putting this thread together, hopefully it will assist newcomers and give them one place to find all the relevant threads

Although it will only be of use if it is kept up to date.

if you want it to be made a sticky, which could be useful if its going to be administered properly then you'll need to PM the moderator smokestack76

Unfortunately the DS forum isn't as active as the IS or sensation forums and as a result isn't as actively moderated, which is a shame.

@blezz, you're right we have a lot of sticky threads already and some are no longer relevant, but without active moderation there is little we can do

in my honest opinion we should unsticky the other threads then and link them here, cause the half page is already stickies

@Blezz
Totally agree with you.
The Problem is what I mentioned earlier, not active moderation.
I personally got most of the other stickies made into stickies through the sending a PM to the moderator about a month ago, although as we both know some are now no longer relevant.

I've recently (over a week ago) requested some sticky changes through a PM to the moderator although I've not as yet had any response.

EDIT: I've requested that most of the current stickies are actually replaced with just this one.

Request made.. And yes due to him yet again. I will keep a eye out from now on., But we do rely on PMs and reported post alot. So please. If there is a issue of any kind please report the post or PM me. I am always on. Like ben knows, Even at 2am

What about links to kitchens?
For example .... dsixda's?
Well, might encourage more development

Formatting and inclusion suggestion

---

Nice idea. When I had my HTC Desire I used the sticky "All in one place" thread a lot to check for ROM updates. It was well maintained but also had simple formatting. No HUGE titles to scroll through. Please give a reduced formatting approach a go and use simple titles of the same size. All being a consistent and small font as this will give us an "at a glance" set of information. Surely you are also missing any link to information on AlpharevX, which will single-handedly be the reason that this forum becomes super-active.

A simple reply would show I've been heard. Many thanks.
