It says
To install this ROM you will need to have an unlocked bootloader
You have unlocked bootloader you do not have a locked bootloader as this device does not have a locked bootloader for you to unlock.

Thanks alot

Hi! I've been trying to download the OTA update on my phone but it stays on:
"Checking for available update.
Please wait..."
Anyone knows why? My phone is rooted by the way and bootloder is unlocked. Please help.

When the device is rooted and is running stock ROM, the OTA updates are not working properly on most devices. For example, in my Galaxy Y, when I tried to install a new firmware it stopped during the installation and rebooted on the old firmware. Then it displayed the known s*** like "The installation was not succesfull. Please try installing the firmware using Kies".
Otherwise, if your device is running a Custom ROM, you can update to the newest version without a problem.

Ok. Thanks for answering. What if I unroot the device? Is it possible the update works if I unroot the device?

If you unroot your device, you will be able to install a new firmware on it. Are you using stock or custom ROM?

OK then. The solution is on the post 5. Unroot the device, install the new firmware and you can root the phone again if you want.

Help ?? My phones radio w I not turn on....After flashing it
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Premium HD app
Recovery has nothing to do with radio.
RUU always fixes everything. If you're SuperCID, flash the HK RUU. That should take care of it.
Try doing *#*#info#*#* and making sure that your settings are correct

So I haven't been following XDA lately or system updates. My phone is currently rooted with xposed running. I am thinking about updating the software, but I need to know how I can upgrade to the fullest while keeping my root. Thanks

No. Unless you want official OTA update
