Unlocking bootloader

nikoM — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 02:00:41 GMT

I'm a newbie. I was able to flash my xGo to GB from JB. I have read threads how to root the phone for me to remove unneccessary applications which I do not need. Unfornately, GB dont have the disable selection and almost all of the apps I want to remove was pre-installed. Unlocking the bootloader is the thing that holds me back for rooting. Is it worth it unlocking it? What are the advantages and disadvantages of unlocking it? Thanks!

You don't have to unlock the bootloader to root your phone
