i would like to change my vote please.
i did it, and i borked my x. i didnt wipe data, but i DID follow the rest of the directions to a T.
my phone bootlooped. ok, fine. not the first time. i'll just go wipe data.
oh, what's that? my stock recovery is gone? awesome. it just goes right to bootloader with an error message. this seems to have happened to a lot of people, but there doesnt seem to be a resolution. thankfully, working for vzw has its perks. i can just go to a store and get a new one out of the box tomorrow.
