SPL Unlock

---

First off, I'm no developer. So, I could be way off.

Anyway, I picked up my Incredible on launch day and got a temp number assigned to the phone because I was with T-Mobile. Today, I had my number ported over. When I did that, my phone stopped working. Basically, I needed to re-program the phone. I saw that *228 is how it is done.

Needless to say, when I started to reprogram process the phone had a status window that said "unlocked SPL". Would this be some sort of window of opportunity for rooting or installing an unsigned ROM?

All phones go through this step. It's about programming the phone with Verizon wireless towers. It has nothing to do with a root opportunity. Some phones will go other details during the programming process.
