[About XDA developers] Ghostfreak NB:
Well,Hello first of all to one and all here

I am Ghostfreak NB from the Xperia Neo V forums

I personally was keeping a check on this thread since long however thought to post when I touched my 4000th POST

So here I am ..;):cowboy:

I owned a Galaxy 5 which i used for a Year however didn't root until now :silly:

I was one of those guys who never cared much about rooting and stuffs though I was aware of those terms

I was quite scared about the thought of My warranty getting ceased

Hmmm,Well i got bored with it and so wanted to get a new phone

After days of search,I got myself a X NEO V

Moving on to my new phone-I was quite excited

This time I made up my mind I would root my phone for sure

So I began searching on GOOGLE like a desperate fella

Somehow I managed to get on to a link which was from XDA -DEVELOPERS

Now I,as a noob,couldn't make much sense of the steps n posts and couldn't understand much of it

So i decided to make an account here...

So i made my account on the 11th of August 2012 and my journey began..........

It took a while,pm'd the thread owner and somehow i managed to root after a series of failed attempts(Now i feel so stupid of myself,well,I am not ashamed to say that)

Now My next big challenge was to get CWM and get a CUSTOM ROM loaded on my Mobile..

(Damn I was hell bent excited) Well,now i managed to get CWM through an app from play store however Loading up a Rom wasn't so easy for me,then..

I did some wipes (scarily) and installed a GB Rom

The Rom didn't boot cos I had ICS installed officially on mine..

Now the biggest fear-BOOTLOOPS :eek::eek:

Phone stuck at SONY logo and I impatiently posted in different threads

Then I got help from a guy called Madfysh -really helpful and a knowledgeable guy

He explained me the basics and thus I managed to overcome my "What if I Bricked My Phone fear!!"

Things were calm for me here...

I was happy installed quite a few Roms and was testing out newer Roms (I tried about 6-7 Roms a day too,in my early days)

Got familiar with my steps to install and About various features and their main advantages over the other(as in One feature that stands apart in them)

However,One job was still left

UNLOCKING MY BOOTLOADER

I accidentally came across AOKP Rom and I flashed it ,but It didn't boot:crying:

Then I went to that thread and read again,It clearly mentioned I need UNLOCKED Bootloader..

I read some threads ,searched for different methods to do

And after about a week or so,I managed to unlock my bootloader

I learnt to flash Kernels and How they are related to the Roms..even managed to Join a Dev's team and learnt how to build Roms too

Now i could unleash my phone's Hidden potentials and use it as per my wish and have the freedom of Choice to switch to various Roms built by various Devs-Hats off to them

Being from commerce background,I kinda found it difficult however the members here are really EVER-HELPFUL,FRIENDLY and KNOWLEDGEABLE

Most of them are very Humble and Kind and thus I made many friends here...

I,Truly,thank XDA DEVELOPERS for what it has done for me..And the Members,Devs and all those who helped me become what I am today

I do not say that I am an expert but surely am knowledgeable enough to help out the New users and warn them from getting stuck in the way I was ..

I maintain a few threads and I am all the more glad to Help out or Contribute in whichever way possible

Someday, I hope to become an RC and further a Forum Mod,one day,hopefully sooner than later however not Impatient.

If it happens,well and good ,if not,Its fine with me...

My main motive is to learn and make use of some amazing stuffs,guides and apply them in whichever way possible and try to make things on my own so that I do not keep bugging others or so that I don't become dependent on someone...

Sorry for my lengthy post..:p:p

Hope I didn't bore ya'll:silly:

Thanks for reading...

Regards,

Ghostfreak NB :)
