    Root Safe to root a demo phone?

    Friend got the demo version of this phone for free, and while it appears fully functional, it does have this annoying demo vid that pops up every while advertising it's own features, and was wondering if it could be rooted and have a new rom flashed or if the demo vid could be disabled.
