the advantages u get from rooting are exactly the same as flashing a HSPL and/or custom rom on a WM device. when rooted ull be able to flash custom roms,radios and even tether. but Android is a little bit more complex when flashing custom roms. everything has to match otherwise u'll either mess up the radio in ur device or brick it completely. in short if all u want to do is WiFi tether then u won't need to flash a custom rom but if u want to do that be sure to follow the directions al pie de la letra or watch a YouTube video.
