$40 is too much... do it yourself :)) oh just find someone. I was just very curious and wanted to learn how to do it.

Make sure it's backed up. Sometimes if it's bricked you can still restore it even without the back up but it's better if you do.

When i first did mine, i installed the incompatible software ( i found out later that it was incompatible) and upon turning on the phone all i had is a white screen. I just reinstalled the correct one and it worked. Also i did not know about the back up when i did that :))
