Canadian Xoom COverted TO US

[buffalo_guy]

I recently purchased a Xoom and followed the directions to update the Xoom to a US version since I live in the US. All went well and I successfully upgraded to Ice Cream. My question is: Do I need to re-lock the bootloader? Seems I have read that issuing the command "fastboot oem relock" can cause problems. I thought it better to ask before doing. Thanks for any insight.

Welcome to the forum

Just leave the bootloader unlock, it will be fine

[Sardo Numspa]

no need to relock it, it'll run just fine like that.

that way if you want to root and load a custom rom later, its one step you can skip

I never thought about it being in that state. What do you do if you get an OTA? Ignore it still just like if you are running a custom ROM?

[Sardo Numspa]

yep, if you are rooted and running a custom rom, always decline OTA's.
most of the roms now will block the OTA's anyway, but just in case, always always always decline the OTA.
