Its telling me there was an error installing. :/

[lowvolt]

I wonder if you tried unlocking the boot loader. If it would be successful

Delete that app.  The Motochopper tried to install root but it didn't work because you used the wrong version.  Find Motochopper 1.3.

[lowvolt]

I think he tried 1.3 and it didn't work.

Hey Magical, which root did you use?  The one you posted a link to was for the previous OTA.  Here is 1.3:

Success! Device is rooted (this time I'm sure) lots of nervous moments but in the end everything worked out smoothly. Appreciate the help everyone. Honestly couldn't have done it without you all

Which Motochopper did you use?

[Magical_Fetus_]

The one you linked. Haha you were right from the beginning. Looks like you can root 9.16.3 with 9.18.78. Just like you said. For future reference!

[lowvolt]

I thought I heard the same thing as Rik. But who am I to argue. Lol. Glad you got it rooted. Bummer you can't unlock.

Its alright. I'm just glad to have this sorted. I knew I shouldn't have installed that OTA a few weeks ago. If I hadn't done that I could've unlocked. I made the same mistake with iOS. Updated to 6.1 when there wasn't a jailbreak. And I think we all know that without a jailbreak, Iphones are the most boring devices on the planet

So with the BL locked, how do I go about getting cyanogen into my device?

[lowvolt]

The only way is if there is a safe strap version. You would download safe strap and then boot into safe strap and create a ROM slot. Then install the ROM on that slot.

Looks like there's a safe strap version for my phone. Download it. Download cyanogen boot into safe strap install ROM? Is this all to be done from my phone or will I need to tether?

[lowvolt]

You don't need to tether. Its been awhile since I used safe strap. But what you wrote sounds right. Just remember to install CM in a ROM slot not the stock slot.
After you flash safe strap, when you reboot your phone you will get a splash screen for about 20 seconds or so, this is where you will select whether to boot into safe strap or not. You will see.

Okay I see. Seems pretty straight forward. Boot into safestrap install ROM. Easy.

[lowvolt]

Are you familiar with TWRP? safe strap is similar.

No but I've used clockwork before this looks almost identical

It's based off of TWRP, not CWM.  You pretty much hit the install methods on the head but you need to set up a slot, prior to flashing a ROM in the slot.
