Hello,

I'm running a Verizon 2013 Moto X with its bootloader unlocked by SunShine. Will the Lollipop update that is getting pushed out relock the bootloader? I'm anxious about taking the update without knowing if there will be a way to root again afterward.

Thanks!

they never relocked the bootloader with any other phones with updates like the razr hd so they probably wont on the x and its easy to root when you are unlocked just flash super su through a custom recovery

How did you unlock via Sunshine? I'm on 4.4.4 and used Kingroot for temp root and sunshine tells me that my device is not compatible.

I took the update and it didn't relock it.

As for SunShine, i used it while I was on 4.4. I waited until I knew I could keep root to take 4.4.4.

I am on VZW non-DE 4.4.4 latest and it's wanting to update ... I don't have the bootloader unlocked and sunshine won't temp root last I tried ... is there any hope in staying on 4.4.4 in the case an exploit is found and 4.4.4 is needed before going to 5.1?

I unlocked via sunshine earlier this year. I used the recovery image (version LPA23.12-39.7) to update to 5.1 rather than taking the OTA. Bootloader is still unlocked.
