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

What are the benefits of unlocking the bootloader?

Root/custom ROMs.
You HAVE to unlock the bootloader to root?

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.

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.
