Root Problems with xda-developers.com today?

[quartermain]

Anyone else having problems accessing forum.xda-developers.com or www.xda-developers.com?

I can't contact either of the two nameservers for xda-developers.com, a traceroute gets as far as 13 hops then that's that.

Haven't been able to get on since this morning...

Yeah it seems like the website is down for now! This sucks..

 

[beanbean]

thought it was only me...!
maybe down for maintenance

I don't think the site is down, the DNS hostname is what's down. Wouldn't surprise me if the hostname actually got revoked.

Bet its something to do with all the PS Freedom links they've had up over the past few days.

Sony must have something to do with it.

Hey guys, Just signed up to the forum although i have been lurking since i got my desire on release.. there is alot of really good info on here and the rooting guides are outstanding!

I have also been trying to get on there all day as yesterday i installed the open desire 4.0.4 rom for a certain usb use.. all whent well until i relised two big probelms

(1) My wifi is not working
(2) My phones i not recognised by my computer

It is probably something silly that i have not done but if anyone could help me out here before i make a new thread it would be greatly appreciated.

That's normal you can't access the wifi & usb, i'm in the same boat..

You have to restore your backup on your phone or reflash your rom once you've done what you need to do with your PS3.

Pain in the arse but not alot you can do about it at the mo.

So it is the psfreedom that is stopping my wifi and pc/phone connection?

EDIT: also i forgot to do a nandroid when i rooted and flashed open desire onto my handset.. will this affect me in anyway

 

[FeckinL]

Yeah its that, don't really matter you didn't do a backup as you can just flash the rom again.. Its just a pain if you'd set the phone up how you liked it.

Flash it with your chosen rom, get it how u like it with apps etc, then do a nandroid backup. Keep this backup on your phone so when you do the PSFreedom flash again you can just restore your nandroid backup.

Hope that makes sense, i've had a few beers.

nandroid backup is something you should always keep copies of. its essentially a system recovery tool if anything ever goes a stray with flashing..

the PSfreedom come swith a zip to disable the function and re enable your phone functions

XDA is back online

 

[scottspa74]

Damn, xda is like my life blood ! This sucks! And all because of some gaming crap!? Man I hope that's not the case. So, all one can really do is keep trying, huh?

, and of course I flashed a zip last night that broke my 4g (I can always nand back, of course, just was in the process of testing, and tryin to get something working on the newer Evo ROM and kernel versions being banded about.

Edit: woohoo!!! It's back up! 6:00pm western time. !!!!!!! Woohoo.
