Root I love you guys

never, but you can use a N4 from tmo or google on metro. ;)

Haven't been able to really test it as I've been setting it up.. Someone just provided a working one click root method for it though. Unlocking the bootloader looks like its a process and I might just wait to see if an easier method will come out soon.. Bootloaders aren't my are of great knowledge..

Why? Bootloader is locked and nexus 5 (if made by LG) will be just like it (minus LG UI), and unlocked bootloader on nexus 5 and more devs.

If the Nexus 5 is out before I upgrade phones, I will definitely get it. After the drama involved with our locked bootloader, I would like to avoid another phone with it. But, it's been many years since I've had a really nice phone. Fingers crossed the Nexus 5 is released soon, right?
