[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
I just wanted to say that I never figured anything out or made any breakthroughs about these specific things on my own. I simply had access to information and data that could make a lot of our problems here in XDA nonexistent. And I wanted to help out as much as I could without threatening my freedom. I worked for a large corporation and was given access to a lot over the years. I had kept my XDA life separate from my work life until I had to deal with a lot of the restrictions myself. And seeing others so frustrated started to piss me off. I started trying to help a couple of the devs here by indirectly giving them very "rough" tips that would help. I broke the law. Actually, I broke many laws. I was in federal prison for a term. I was punished pretty harshly because I somehow "forgot" all the others involved and had somehow lost any confirmed connections to anyone on XDA who I had supposedly shared protected corporate information with.

At the time of my earlier posts when I had confirmed workarounds and data that would fix things, I was not lying or trying to get anyone riled up. At that time, I did have a lot to share, but now I don't. And even if I did, I wouldn't be posting it publicly. Sorry for any inconveniences or confusion I caused. I had written many letters asking for the posts to be removed (while I was incarcerated), but they were all returned to me with a note from the DA stating that I could not have any contact with anyone that I didn't want to get in trouble. Especially if it was in any way connected to online sites I had shared the information on.

You gotta do what you gotta do. There are plenty of people pissed off at me here on XDA for not replying to posts after I had to leave. And I understand. The problem is that if I had replied to them (had someone do it for me), I would have jeopardized a lot more.

I am sorry for "upsetting' a lot of people here, but I lost a lot more than people know (ex: marriage, family, etc.) because I refused to give them any information about anyone else.

Hopefully people will see this post here when they are looking for me to ask "what happened". Because I don't want to post it anywhere else. I am glad you gave me a chance to tell you though. And I never felt disrespected by anyone here in this thread who had mentioned otherwise. Don't worry about it. I'm back. Thanks for welcoming me back Brothers.

I would be more comfortable if everyone just thought I was lying about everything at this point. I am trying to move on from this whole debacle and I am really sorry if I got anyone's hopes up before. I spent thousands of hours, days and nights contributing to XDA. And I made a mistake at one point. I had access to helpful info for a single device that I was going to share. But, I got snitched on. I'd like to continue contributing, but this just keeps coming up no matter how long I wait. Sorry everyone. I honestly don't have any of those drives backed or anything that would help now anyways. All of my computer's and devices that had all my development projects on them are long gone and taken away.
