network unlock before root or visa versa??

[Guest bryfly]

Hi, Was going to use pauls method to root my phone, however im waiting for an network unlock code from Vodafone, should i network unlock first or root first, or doesnt it matter either way.+ would i need to reinstall a rom after root? .....cheers

If the unlock fails then you need to be able to make a simple complaint so unlock first is my suggestion.

But technically I think it does not matter

I had mine locked on Vodafone when I did the update to 926.The next day the vodafone staff unlocked the phone without any issues.I think the phone unlock has nothing to do with android / rooot etc...

yeh unlock first, I believe there's no technical reason but if you had trouble with the phone unlocking it be easier to exchange/return etc rather than explaining how you got such sweet software on your phone lol.

Thanks for the guidence guys, i guess as nobody mentioned it rooting the phone leaves the rom intact and there is no need to re-install the rom?.

Correct rooting, installing CWM do not affect the rom, they just give complete control over it.
