Hey everyone, LambStews here! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of the group. I look forward to participating, learning, and helping others in any way I can,

I just recently made the switch to Big Red after being kicked out of the "cool kids club" (or so they think) over at Sp***t. Unlimited Data my @$$!!! Honestly I couldn't be happier, as I now have 4G LTE in my house, where before I was lucky to ping a Sp***t tower, or get service at all.

I have been Rooting and flashing for about 2 years now, first on the original HTC EVO 4G, and most recently, the Samsung Galaxy SII, aka, the Epic 4G Touch.

I'm ready to gain ROOT on my Razr!!!! I guess since I'm so new to this site and forum, I'm not yet allowed to view certain topics...How to Root my Razr being one of them, I assume...

If anyone out there has been so kind as to take the time to read my thread, would they be willing to guide me in the right direction, as I desperately want my apps WITH DATA back ASAP. Thank you kindly in advance!

Your new friend,

LambStews ;)
