Welcome, SC-SafeCracker! You'll find this to be a very friendly place full of great people and information! Just check out the links in my signature and you’ll get some really good advice that may take the edge off the learning curve. And don't let those guys over here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/off-topic-forum/36397-can-your-droid-do.html give you a hard time. There are no secret unlock codes; those were just videos made for fun and rooted or not, the codes don't exist. But in case you're really interested in rooting, read this THIS IS WHAT ROOT MEANS (stop asking) Hope you enjoy your time here!

:welcome:

Welcome! If you are thinking about rooting read, read, and read some more. Watch videos on youtube. Then, if you decide to root, print your process, make notes and make a BACKUP.

If you run into problems someone here will be glad to assist.
