I've read in one Thread, that if my Bootloader is unlocked, i will not get any OTA-Updates anymore.
Is that true, has anyone experience with this or experienced it?
Thanks in Advance, Esok44

You should beable to update. The update will unroot, and you don't have to worry about that.

I have a US WiFi that I flashed with the Canadian build. Do you think I will get the Canadian update or will my XOOM still be recognized as a US XOOM?

So that's mean I don't need to relock it back?

I did install it but now i have tons of issues. So maybe reinstall the RUU my Bat doesnt last 4 hours when it used to last 2 days
I hope for your sake you rooted and unlocked your bootloader prior to running the RUU because if not, you're stuck.
there's no Root for 2.20

Thank you for all your help, you have been very helpful
Like the title says, is the Asus tool the only way? From what I read I need to have the bootlader unlocked to install custom roms, right? Thanks!

Thanks. I should be buying a TF300 in the next few days. If I do the JB OTA and then unlock, and decide that I don't like JB, will I be able to install ICS roms? Would I have to downgrade the firmware? Thanks again for any help...

Even with an unlocked bootloader, there's currently no way back to ICS from JB. So if you update, you're stuck there for now. There are one or two custom JB Roms though if you aren't happy with stock JB.

Thanks for that. If I go the other way around and stick with ICS and unlock the bootloader, will I be able to upgrade to JB later (not necessarily stock JB)?
How do I unlock a re-locked bootloader? I had previously unlocked the boot-loader, but needed to factory reset my phone, so i did. And now i want to unlock my bootloader and in fastboot it still shows as "relocked". Ive tried going to HTC DEV but it didn't work, and ive tried the original method of firewater. I've lurked all over the place and I cant find anything for the M8, if anyone could help thatd be awesome. THNX:angel:

When you tried htcdev you need to change your cid to 11111111 of you still have s-off of course. then you should be able to unlock it

I have a Droid Maxx (which I think is basically an Ultra) running Android 4.4.4. It is not an unlocked version. Can I downgrade to an older firmware?
