Manual update... do I need to flash the bootloader...?

Okay, cool...if your bootloader is unlocked, then you just have to skip the part (step #7) where you would do the "fastboot oem unlock".

Also, after you unpack the factory image, you'll see a flash-all.bat (for Windows) and a flash-all.sh (for Linux or the Mac) that contain / show all of the same commands that @jhawkkw outlined in his excellent guide (he just elaborates and explains the entire process for you in a very understandable way).

So, you can basically just copy/paste the commands directly from these files to your command prompt--just be sure to omit the "-w" on the last command where you see the fastboot -w update image-*.zip.

Make sense?

(also, the Nandroid backup thing, too )
