[Q] Quick question about unlock.

[mibikin]

Will there ever be a way to unlock the Vivid without losing data? If not, what is erased when the bootloader is unlocked? Is there a way to backup this stuff without losing data? I'm a real noob, so this is why I am asking, I'm just the most paranoid person ever when it comes to messing with the phone because on my old iPhone, I tried to jailbreak once and was in a bootloop for almost 4 hours before I finally got iTunes to see it.

i dont think so but you never know there are many apps that will back up stuff for you but when you unlock your bootloader it does a factory reset making your phone like it was when you first got it just bootloader unlocked my advice is to read read read before trying anything make sure you understand what you are about to do there is always risk when you do things to your phone but there are alot of benifits too

Will I lose music, pictures, videos? That's what I'm really worried about losing cause I don't have an SD card, yet.

ok

Ok, this is my last question.. probably. Will the unlock method work on AT&T Stock ICS? This is probably a dumb question but I don't want to mess my phone up.
