Yes, it will be the full version.
Same when you also have twrp installed (follow the correct procedure to retain root)

Hey guys -
Just got a Razr HD Maxx. It came with the 9.16.6.XT926 firmware.
I used Matt Groff's tool to unlock my bootloader and have confirmed that it's locked. My system is asking if I want to upgrade to 9.18.79.XT926 via OTA.
Question: If I take the OTA now (AFTER I UNLOCKED MY BOOTLOADER), will it re-lock it?
Thanks!!

So, just to confirm: If i take this OTA with an unlocked bootloader, it will remain unlocked?

Hi all,
I have a rooted and unlocked Nexus 5. Just wondering if my bootloader will remain unlocked after Lollipop update, either through OTA or factory image. I need the bootloader to remain unlocked in case an unlocked bootloader becomes the prerequisite for rooting forever.
Thanks!

The bootloader will only lock if you specifically lock it using fastboot or an app. No other way

So a locked bootloader remains locked and an unlocked one stays unlocked if I don't change anything in the OTA zip or Factory Image when flashing? Or don't specify it in adb?

My e8 has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. For the upcoming lollipop update, is it necessary to relock the bootloader?

No need to relock bootloader. You just have to flash stock recovery. I'm newbie, I found it somewhere else (See attached item).

It would be zip. I found that somewhere in other thread. Please read whole post CAREFULLY.
Just got my OnePlus One yesterday and I was gonna unlock the bootloader but there is a update out.
So my question is:
Do I update THEN unlock the bootloader?
Do I unlock the bootloader THEN update?
Does it matter?
Thank you

It doesn't matter - just unlock it before you install anything
Doesn't matter at all, as @spanna said. The bootloader can be unlocked no matter which build you're on.

Is there a safe way to lock the bootloader for ota updates yet? Waiting to unlock until then.
No, but you can update manually with the stock recovery just by following this instructions. No need for OTA
