I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR YOU LOSE YOUR ALREADY UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
THIS ONLY WILL WORK IF YOU HAVE UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER BEFORE THE OTA
GOOD LUCK TO ANYONE BRAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE THE PLUNGE

To better explain this guide, what it does is explains how to get the 2.04 OTA firmware without losing your already ***Unlocked*** bootloader. You will have to lock your bootloader, then RUU back to 1.15, re-unlock your bootloader and take the OTA and then re-flash a custom recovery.
This is what I did and it should work (Not a 100% Guarantee) :
Download the 1.15 RUU
Have your ORIGINAL Unlock_code.bin token ready (from when you've unlocked your bootloader on the 1.15 release)
Backup ALL of your sdcard contents as this will completely wipe the device
Have about 30~60 minutes to sit down and do this
[Step 1]:
Boot into Bootloader and if you aren't in fastboot click on fastboot to get there and if it says " fastboot usb " you're good now
[Step 2]:
Enter the following command:
Then let it do its thing, it might reboot.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
[Step 2a]:
Boot back into fastboot then right click RUU and click on " Run as Administrator " then follow the on screen instructions.
[Step 3]:
After the RUU finishes power off the device and then boot back into bootloader again and get to " fastboot usb " then open command prompt and navigate to where you have your " Unlock_code.bin "
[Step 3a]:
Enter the following code:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
[Step 3b]:
On your device use [Vol Up] to select " Yes " and then [Power] to proceed.
[Step 4]:
Then boot up and go to the " Update System " and check for an update (It should prompt you to take the OTA, do it)
You should now be good to go with the latest firmware and all thats left it to reflash TWRP or CWM and either a ROM of your choice or a Nandroid.
Here is a good ROM to flash after OTA [ROM][2.04.605.2] Stock Rooted Deodexed Zipaligned Semi-Debloated + Extras
After I completed all of these steps and took the OTA, I did not have to reflash the Unlock_code.bin file to unlock my bootloader it stayed unlocked after I took the OTA but in case yours does not just re-flash the Unlock_code.bin file one more time and it should do the trick.
