This may be a dumb question, but on my nexus 10 I have an unlocked bootloader but not rooted. Will the unlocked bootloader keep me from receiving ota updates?
Asking because as all of us, I am waiting for 4.3 but if my unlocked bl is preventing it, I would like to relock to get it or flash the image from a download.
Let me know if the unlocked bl is preventing otas.
Thanks.

No it won't prevent you from receiving it.
Awesome!!! I'll keep checking for it then.

locked/unlocked bootloader won't matter. just keep it unlocked and you're ok (assuming you didn't change any system files)

It's rolling out for other devices. Has there been a confirmation of anyone with a Nexus 4 receiving it?
Hey guys,
I just bought the nexus 4 from a guy and its working awesome. The only "problem" I have is that the guy before me was playing around with the nexus. And now I have a locked bootloader, no SU binaries/root but CWM?? Is it possible to have CWM with a locked bootloader?
Anyways, i dont want to play around with it because the original store that sold this nexus will blame me for playing around with it if something actually happens.
So can i update it to key lime pie when it comes out without any problems?? Or can i remove CWM without unlocking the bootloader(i have alot of apps)?
Thanks

You can flash a ROM and then relock the bootloader. Just unlock it and start again
Nevermind

Can i update it without removing the nonfunctional recovery?

It's better to go back to 100% stock so you know exactly what's been done
You can always use this if you're rooted. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker

would be a help to root my DROID RAZR M, ota updated to 4.4.2 kitkat
If your asking about root there isn't any for 4.4.2. That I know of

At the moment there is no confirmed exploit for 4.4.2 unless you have an unlocked bootloader. Still holding out hope that someone can figure it out. If not, I'm still perfectly happy with the update. My phone is substantially snappier.

How do you root if you have an unlocked bootloader?

If your unlocked just flash custom recovery and flash superuser

So this is not my first rooted device but it is my first time rooting my Razr M since it got upgraded to Kit Kat. It is also my first time installing Xposed so some help would be appreciated.
Yes is safe to install xposed... here is a nice collection of modules ... Be sure to unlock your boot loader before the next ota is pushed as when the next ota comes we may not be lucky enough to find a root method...

Is unlocking the bootloader necessary if i don't plan on installing any custom roms? If i needed to return to stock i could just use RSD right?

When the next ota update comes you will lose root and if there isn't a root exploit for that version with an unlocked BL you can always flash SuperSU via recovery and get root back... And yes rsd is an option to return to stock to accept the next ota

Alright. Thanks for the help.
But just to make sure, unlocking the bootloader is not necessary for Xposed right?
Correct.... But is strongly recommend

Alright, i'm assuming that motochopper is still the best option to unlock the bootloader right?
Use the Motopocalypse app

It'll fail but it won't brick your phone. But why waste your time?

Not going to work, you're stuck with a locked bootloader
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
Several of the bootloader updates blow qfuses (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44777826&highlight=qfuse#post44777826), which is why you can't go back to I337ucuamdl. If you could just flash back to a previous bootloader to get around the locked bootloader, it would not be a good solution on the part of Samsung (though I don't like locked bootloaders), and safestrap probably wouldn't exist in its current form.
There would be a lot less complaints about locked bootloaders, though.
