Hey,

Yes, you've to relock your bootloader and can update your device via PCC/SEUS/OTA.
And pls post in the correct section.

If you update via OTA after relocking bootloader you will brick your phone! Use PCC.

I've never tried it, but a lot of user in the thread reported, that they were able to update via OTA after relocking.

No, there's a specific Q&A (Questions & Answers) subforum.
There you go to relock thread.

Hi,
Your phone is unlocked.
However, there is no way to get back to "Official" ,if you root it.
The choice is yours.

Hi,
I think you mean "Sim-locked"
The phone itself is not locked,just the sim card.

Hi,
You do not need to sim-unlock your phone.
Flash any i9500 ROM.

Hey Guys!
So I just got my NP1 8/256.
After checking the threads I was a bit confused.
Is it good to do a system update to A13 or should I be on A12 and unlock bootloaders and root with custom ROM?
Comments appreciated.
Thanks.
You're good to update and unlock bootloader afterwards
