Default Rooting without a wipe

Hey I was wondering if there was any way to root my phone without a wipe.

OR,

if there was anyway to back up an image of my phone, root, then restore that image.

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I've done a search and I can't seem to find anything on it.

Does the NANDroid backup cover this?

titanium backup and mybackup pro will allow you to backup sms, contacts, bookmarks, apps, settings ...etc.. before you root. Use the app again afterwards to restore.

Easy! Try google next time though.

Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone as far as i know and this is a prerequisite to rooting so youre stuffed there.
