The title doesn't say it all.....at all. What the heck is this thread about? You can root without losing your data, but unlocking the bootloader will wipe everything. Is that the information you were looking for?

Thanks a lot
Sorry about my bad English!
Standard Nexus set up is to ship with a locked bootloader, but for those that want to tinker, it's easy to unlock.
Beware that doing so will wipe your phone, so it should be the first thing you do to it
Thank you very much

Well I made a backup with that carbon app and I'm gonna download the apps probably tomorrow to see if it works. Thanks for the link. Also I went a head and unlocked the bootloader and all that other good stuff.

I just purchased a nexus 4 Yesterday from t mobile and I updated to 4.3 right away. I was wondering is this device worth ROOTING and flashing a custom ROM ..

Yes, of course. That's part of the fun when having a Nexus device

In 4.2.2 I used AOKP. I think they're working on 4.3 now (hopefully it will be out soon).
Cyanogemod is pretty awesome and simple too.

Not if you don't reboot after you unlock. Flash a custom recovery right after you unlock wipe caches then reboot = no data loss

I don't recommend toolkits they aren't needed for nexus devices. Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654
You will learn in the process

If you are looking for some performance enhancements then you just need a root and CWM(recovery) installed for flashing kernels, check Nexus 4 toolkit. Custom ROMS are more for aesthetic enhancements, and the most worked ROM on the area of aesthetic changes is Paranoid Android ROM, they have regular builds for Nexus 4. So check them out, Enjoy your N4 ! .

Hey guys,
I have TWRP set up and rooted but I hate that little open lock icon when I boot up the phone.
If I relock the bootloader will I still be able to flash mods/roms etc since I have TWRP installed?
Thanks in advance!
Without stock when you relock it will just keep booting back into the bootloader instead of android

I am on stock, just another recovery and rooted.
So it won't boot into bootloader the whole time or will it?

Well I guess I care. Not only because it's irritating but also to get warranty back.

With a custom recovery. Relocking the bootloader should cause the device to fail to boot.
It doesn't matter if you still have a stock rom.
It will fail the locked checks and put you straight into the bootloader
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
just revert to stock with original recovery if worried about it since you cant lock it on custom firmware
Okay thank I know enough, will just let the unlocked lock icon show.
