There are also some people who think they are quite capable of performing this fix, but are not. Do you really want to see forums full of posts like the screwdriver ROM socket removal?
sure, people might screw it up, even guru meditation say they might screw it up (there is no guarantee).
i did the uboot upgrades myself as well (my rom was protected). i did not have problems, because i knew what i was doing.
so because there are people with no knowlegde on the subject, others shouldn't be allowed to either? that makes no sense. :-o
