[Guide2Right]

i got a motorola droid pro from verizon, i unlocked it because i live in europe.. my question is: after rooting this device, do i have to unlock it again or will it now stay unlocked for ever? because i lost the sim, verizon gave it to unlock the device for foreign users

thanks

Im sorry but you dont know shit. Rooting your phone is allowing access that your not suppose to have. And installing custom roms(You forgot kernals too) is pointless unless. Really rooting is for pentesting, wifi tethering, overclocking/underclocking,
