PLEASE READ
Unlocking and rooting will erase all data, including settings and applications. So, back up your data first. This can be a risky process and even though its rare, it is possible to brick your device – so proceed with caution, and don’t skip any steps! Warning… do this at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do to your device.
*Note: This will not remove carrier lock.
