Let me introduce myself....

---

I'm just an old fart that likes to tinker with electronics. I am by no means anywhere close to being a developer, themer, ect... I just like tinkering with my phone. I've lurked these forums a couple of years now trying to take in as much as I can. I came over from SDX (HAXSUNG) when I retired my Moment and got my OG Evo. All I can say at this point is "WOW" what an awesome site this has turned out to be. A BIG Thanks to most all members for being so helpful, brainstorming and working together to make our phones unique and better than ever. Everything I've ever learned was from reading and researching these forums. I've never had to ask a question nor have I ever needed to. Simply put, I follow instructions to a tee and never have any problems. Again, Thanks to all the Devs out there for the awesome work that you do.

Anyway, the reason for this post is not only to introduce myself but to also let everyone know that if you do your research, you will find your answers without asking. Of course there will be exceptions, we all know that. I just purchased my new EVO LTE and wanted to get it unlocked ASAP to tinker over the 4th of July. While reading the forums to understand how to accomplish this, I noticed alot of people were having problems with S-off via Lazy Panda method. I was scared at first to even try, but I had faith in the Devs that they know what they are doing. To make a long story short, I followed the instructions perfectly and achieved S-off without a hicup

I've come to the conclusion that most issues that people have here (not just for our phone) are a failure to follow instructions. Do your research people, take a chance once in awhile, you will be very pleased with the outcomes you achieve on your own.

Awseome site, keep up the good work all you Dev's, themers out there. Your work is very much appreciated by people like myself.

It's nice to hear something like this

The worst part of people not reading is that when they ask the question that was answered hundreds of times on the same thread it clutters it up more and makes it even harder for someone else to read and find the answer to begin with.

Anyway glad to hear you got your phone S-OFF without any issue, enjoy the awesome mods/roms that our devs have made

WoW that's me!!! This is an awesome site. I've also been lurking here for about two yeas, after I got my first Evo...

Great post! Welcome to the LTE forum! Good to have you aboard. I like your attitude, feel free to PM with questions anytime

I'm almost an old fart in life but feel like one for sure on these forums. It is a shame more folks don't put the time in to figure out stuff on their own, it is so much more rewarding that way!

And I too had a moment and have been at sdx from the gitgo, things just happen much more quickly around here and the information available is amazing!

What a good post you have here, old geeks rule!
