I am currently on OG5 and rooted but I want to update to pb1, root and have unlocked bootloader. Is this possible ? Should I just update to the latest OTA and follow the unlock boot loader guide ? As unlocked bootloader implies root correct ? I'm not a super noob but just want to make sure I do it correcrly.


Thanks

As long as you are rooted, you can unlock the bootloader, provided your CID begins with 15. If it begins with 11 you are stuck with what you have. 2 links for ya, 1st is for the PB1 update without losing root (jrkruse has a method for this, just search the thread). 2nd link is for unlocking the bootloader.
