Yes it is most definitely safe to root, its actually a fairly simple one compared to others, be patient, read everything more than once and understand what you're doing, backups backups backups

Considering I'm completely new to this I dont know what you are asking or if this root/unlock situation will be a bust. From what I gather from this site it seems pretty easy. I know that I am running the stock os on my phone though. Ive downloaded busybox and Samsung Galaxy unlock as well. Are they good apps? Also do I need any drivers? Where do I look in the info you sent me for the link (sorry if it seems like I'm asking dumb questions)

All you have to do my friend is refer to the bible in the dev section.

That's all you need to know. Once you finish reading the bible, you'll be able to do all that stuff blindfolded.
If you have trouble with your drivers you can download Kies Mini off of Samsungs site and Kies will install the right drivers for your phone.

I've rooted the mesmerize using z4root apk. I've downloaded rom manager and when I go to back up/restore the mesmerize isnt listed. Recovery mode doesn't have a back up/ restore.any suggestions.i have an htc evo and rooting and flashing roms, backing up/restore is much simpler.

Read the stickies. They have very clear instructions on setting up CWM.
Don't spam the forum by making two threads for the same question.
My fault.i didn't realize I was in the development section when I posted.so keep calm! It was a mistake

Anything you want to do is your choice. Browse for a rom you like (and flash it), overclock if you wish, etc. Just make sure you know EXACTLY what you are doing BEFORE you do it.
