Hey guys i just updated to 290 via pc companion, is it safe to unlock the bootloader? And is it possible to gain root? I just moved to the z1 from the nexus4

Are there ant steps to install a custom recovery with 4.3?

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to get root. If you wanna keep it locked and get root:

If you do decide to unlock the bootloader. BACKUP YOUR TA:

Yes, before that you have to Backup your TA. Remember, unlocking bootlader will void your warranty.

Yes but if you Search before do things and updates probably now you will have not downgrade again.

Everything is on XDA if you just Search a bit before open a thread.
