    What is an MD5 and what does it do?

    Hey all, when I read through some rooting/ROM threads on this forum and others, I always see the word "MD5" pop up, and that people need to "Check the MD5 so it matches". Well...what is an MD5? And why do I need to check it if it "matches"? What role does it play in rooting/flashing ROMS? Thanks

    To root or not to root...

    Haha, you got me there. I was in a rush, didn't think that one through. Though If I want to unroot I'd have to start ground up again right? There would be no way to backup my phone's state before rooting then using that after I unroot right? That's my only concern of unrooting. Thanks all for...
