I apologize if that's the way what I wrote came across to you. I wasn't saying that at all. Anyone will help you if you ask, and no one has a problem with that... most enjoy helping others and are why we're here on the forum.

What I said was in reference to individuals whom, say, go into a root thread, don't read the instructions on how to use the root utility, then post in the forum their phone is bricked, then through conversation it becomes apparent the individual didn't even bother to read the instructions before jumping right in. What then ends up happening is for the next half hour or so, sometimes longer, one or more members has to post the instructions one at a time to make sure the individual is doing it correctly.

I'm not referring to people on the forums whom need help, that's what forums are there for, that's what this forum is here for. Members on this forum like being able to help out other members, whether it be an amateur with no experience or an expert with a whole lot. I'm only referring to the select few, a small percentage, whom, for whatever reason, don't read the instructions given or don't follow the instructions given, then expect everyone to clean up a problem that was completely and wholly unavoidable.

JW you're Okay with me my friend...No Need to Apologize at all....

Even tho the OP are Well Written, it still is a learning process for some to understand How the Minds of others Think...Most everyone here Helping others on this Forum, in my Books are Incrediably Talented to the 10th Power...I am Not part of this group...

Now that said, jumping into others thought process...Interpetation with words can be different with everyone...Me included...I had this happen to me with JB Duel Boot when trying to Flip Kernels from ICS to JB...My misstake was the Volume Up Key to get into Fastboot...Cant tell you how many times I read this, it was the best Instructions Posted on the OP but for the life of me I couldnt get it to work...Nukeruss with Others, triggered Posts and thoughts that flipped the switch for me to get it working... but I will tell you their was a lot of Edits to Post moving forward...

About Not Reading,
I can't imagine anyone not wanting to READ before anyone Jump Starts there Phone to a Different Kernel/OS ...One reason Why they came to this Forum is to Rattle the Side Walls to their Phone...Tweaking I would say...but NOT READING an OP before Implementing changes to Our Phone Hmmmmm....Ooooh, Yes, Our Members we reach out to to bale us out of a jam...Love these guys...

I am a Novice at Best and I do READ, READ, READ but still make mistakes and Not afraid to share my Honesty...

JW, Your Post will give those shooting from the HIP a REfresher course before Tweaking their PHones...Awesome Job my friend
