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.

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?
Yes..... thanks a lot and sorry i wasnt clear. How can I root my nexus 7 without unlocking bootloader

Said something about unsigned or unverified from cwm recovery. Aborted now I'm curious what to do next.

Yes it does, I'm currently having this problem... Rooted, updated ota and now root is gone and not sure what to do
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Guess I'll wait till I get home so I can root again. Thanks

I just used the toolkit to root again afterwards.
Toolkit option 4?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yes. However, mine is the donate version, so I'm not sure if that will make a difference. You might want to check out the thread first.
Why not just fastboot flash your recovery and then use that to flash your su zip?
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?

Who cares? You see it for like 2 seconds.

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.

Will verizons note 3 owners have to use odin to flash roms?
Flash back to stock, then yes or to root. To flash custom roms we need a bootloader work around or unlocked bootloader

Wish it was as easy to unlock as my old phone which is still pretty new (Galaxy Note 2) Adam outler made it very simple with his Creation of Casual one click. Thinking of returning my note 3 and going back to my note 2. Wish there was a DEV edition of the note 3.

Not everyone who roots flashes a ROM. I root so I can use battery saving apps that need root to force close some system apps. I use some apps that require root for a firewall or call blocking. Have you ever wanted to freeze pre-installed apps, or even delete then? This list goes on and on.
