If you unlock bootlader you will be able to install custom kernel. And you ll get OC, UV, swap support, tethering and much more built in kernel. Also custom kernel will improve overval speed of device.
You cant fix it with sonys update, you have to relock bootloader using S1 Tool.

if i do something wrong while i unlocking the bootloader and the phone bricks , will this be forever ? Can i fix it ?

follow step by step please don't make any mistake while relock bootloader
(b'coz it just very simply step)
not forever..U can sent to any phone store and U have to wait how long they take

[Q] Bootloader unlock questiones

Hey whats up guys? coming from samsung Galaxy s, i have a few questions to ask about locking and unlocking the bootloader...
1) i saw that if you unlock the bootloader, I will lose my DRM keys, so i will lose the mobile bravia engine, my answer is if I can restore it? and if not, can i restore it after re locking the bootloader again?
2) what benifits do i get from unlocking the bootloader? i mean some roms can be installed on locked bootloader with rooted device??
i know that im asking a noob questions, but hey, you need to start somewhere, dont you?
*also life was easier with samsung i9000, there you just need to root ur phone, and ur good to go...
anyway expecting my xperia z to ship this friady... ) can't wait !
Thanks in advance guys!

No, DRM and Bravia Engine 2 are lost forever. Maybe someone can port Bravia engine.
With an unlocked phone you can flash a custom kernel.

Sorry for probably stupid question but I just panning to buy S3 mini with simlock (on O2 UK) and I would to install CM10.x on it.
So if is any problem with install it? Do I need to unlock bootloader first like on sony/sony ericsson phones or root is enough?
I tried to find and answer by search but there are not full, confusing or probably outdated.
Regards
Thom

Samsung has the bootloader unlocked by default, so you don't need that like in xperia devices. I had two xperias before the samsung too. You can install cm roms with your sim locked or unlocked

[Q]are these roms not simlock?

i am going to update my brothers samsung galaxy ace gts5830 rom because his memory is only 33/450+ something.
anyway i would like to ask if the following roms from the link below are not simlock. because my brothers galaxy ace is not simlock.
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-S5830
there is a category there that shows it is unlock. but there is a link when you click the word "unlock" where it shows how to unlock it.
what does it mean? is it already unlock or i need to unlock it because it is still locked?.
sorry for the noob question. thanks in advance for your help.

What do you mean simlock, and memory is only 33/450?
Simlock is available for all stock rom.
And, what is your brother galaxy ace android version?If it is 2.3.6, it will doesnt do anything.
