Why would anyone have any use for it over here? It doesn't do anything we can't already do.
Plus, Safestrap is extremely device-specific.
Really I'm not sure if I. Want to unlock bootloader as of yet. And coming from the og photon with locked boot loader I have no experience with any other recovery method.
Could i unlock after rooting by the exploit method.

Unlocking helps you to root, so you cant unlock AFTER rooting. You also need to be rooted to flash custom recoveries

Ohh well in that case, no, just unlock the bootloader directly
My mistake, its just that the only root methods for the Photon that I've seen so far unlock your bootloader at the same time
So just ignore what I said and unlock directly

After searching around, it seems possible to root without unlocking the bootloader so you won't lose any data.
Here's the guide and another one.
Do note that those guides are written during gingerbread time, might not work in ics. besides, I haven't tested them myself, so do it at your own risk.
But I would still recommend you to make titanium backup after you gain root, unlock bootloader, and restore. This is in case you want to flash custom rom.
Thanks i didn't know I can root without unlocking the boot loader.

You can root without unlocking up until 4.0.3. Out of luck beyond this.
I think I'm screwed cause I have 4.0.4 and I cant a guide for rooting. fml

Just unlock the bootloader. They are just saved games. The apps are all there in Play, so just reinstall what you want.

As of the time of posting there is no public way to root 4.0.4 without unlocking on the Nexus S.

Qnot sure if i am in the right thread, but ive never done an unlock to an unencrypted bootloader. How do i unlock the bootloader and root ? GT-N8013

You don't unlock the bootloader on Samsung devices.
You flash a custom recovery via Odin and then use the recovery to flash the root package.
There are already plenty of guides around if you take a look.

So I tried installing this last week had trouble and got me on the screen that says something like 'this is non Verizon please take to nearest Verizon store' SOMETHING LIKE THAT, sure you'll know what I'm talking about. And I want to try over but I'm not to sure why that happened. I'm THINKING it was because phone wasn't unlocked. But I'm not to sure if it was locked of unlocked. Is there several reasons that message can come up or is there one main cause, that cause being phone wasn't unlocked??

Only reason why you saw this prompt is because the bootloader is still locked. Odin flash a stock image then use Casual to root and unlock or use Invisiblek's guide on Rootzwiki to root and unlock via Odin. What root utility did you use to root?

Well I got it unlocked and rooted, so when I do the wipe and factory reset then flash rom it should all be fine right? The factory reset and wipe won't lock the bootloader?

If you're running official 4.4.4 firmware (SU4-21/SU5-25/SU6-7) - you must downgrade first to SU3-15 cause that's only available way to get root. Or you can install alternative firmware like CyanogenMod cause you're lucky one and have unlocked bootloader.

With an unlocked boot loader all you have to do is flash twrp recovery then boot into recovery and when you exit it will ask if you want to install SU.
Here is a link to a tool others have used to flash twrp.

I unlocked BL using middleman back then. Is there a way to root without custom recovery? Like running a .bat file to root my N6.
