Quick question about downgrading and bootloader.

Hey all, I'm currently on ZV8 ICS. If I downgrade back to ZV6 Gingy, will the boot loader become unlocked or no? Thanks!

It will be unlocked, you will be back on the old radio, and you will be prompted to take the v7 update unless you modify the system partition to stop updates. Also, you will need to data wipe or you will have force close issues.

Alright, thanks man.

I reverted to V6 from V8 after I did a factory reset and I'm still having problems with force closing and wifi.
