[GP-1]

Best advice is to read,and alot.Here as well as Howard forums and xda-developers all have good articles on unlocking and flashing.Read as well on articles such as "stuck on boot screen" and things like that so that you can learn from what happened and how to fix it.I locked up my phone on the first flash,took 5 days to figure it out and fix it,not to mention the stress and all due to lack of reading,I jumped in to quick.And beware being a noob such as myself,if you have to ask a dumb question thats been answered before-be prepared for a slew of smartass answers from the guru's around here.Most are here to help but take the time to read and fully understand the process-alot less headache.That being said I'm only over in springfield if you need any help
