So don't stone me here but, does anyone know if Samsung or Verizon know if you unlock and root!? I would really like to know as I'd prefer to not have Verizon nullify my warranty less than 24 hours after purchase. Looks like a great and easy way to go about the unlock and root btw. The OGD was a real pita way back when (the first time I did it anyway).

- Start date
I'm reviewing the steps BL4Z3D247 posted debating if I want to jump into this once I get my phone tonight destroying my warranty and have a question... what is pdanet?
edit: thought of another question... does rooting the phone also void Verizon's assurion assurance as well if your paying for it?

It worked on mine - the trick was this - it never got past the Google logo, BUT I was able to load up ADB and do all of the commands to push su/Superuser.apk, chmod it, and reboot ANYWAY, and I'm rooted now. Now, I used the manual method for this, so that probably gave me more control over the process. But I think a lot of people expected that boot.img to completely boot you - I don't think that was the case for me.
You can relock if you need to take it in.
This is probably the best place I have found where we will first find a working version of wireless tether:

I thought last night all was well. This morning I went into the Superuser app, and did the check for updates, and it didn't gain root access. I then also tried to run Busybox installer, and it didnt' get root access either.
At what point in the process should I try again, just from the doing root, forward?

i googled and found the pda net driver and it provides link for "samsung phone drivers", is this the same as the samsung driver in the op post that is a dead link? if i download this, should there not be 2 different drivers?
