Unlocking a bootloader is for someone who wants to use Custom ROMs that involves a custom kernel. You can definitely stay on a locked bootloader if you wish to also try some custom ROMs. These types of custom are specially built for locked bootloaders. Before towelroot appears, rooting requires unlocking the bootloader. But now don't worry.

you should search the forum first. Your answers are all over the place. Let me guide you
Do you want to unlock your bootloader?
I've been using MrSteve555's CM port for locked bootloaders. Towelroot and Philz recovery (on this forum in dev section) with custom CM - works a treat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/cyanogenmod-11-locked-bootloader-users-t2868398

yes, you need the flashtool from the development section and then find an ICS ftf from the all in one thread
sony flashtool will only work with an unlocked bootloader, the flashtool from the dev section will work on a locked bootlader

Since you have bootloader unlock allowed: no it is not possible to flash anything that requires non stock kernel. All you can flash is stock based roms.

U can flash some stock based custom roms. For 4.3
Hi Member,
I am on 4.1.2 version rooted with CWM installed. I want to upgrade to 4.3 stock. Is there any rom available without the knox bootloader and near stock with samsung touchwiz etc. I am searching from past one week but couldn't able to find anything on it.

Yes, there is a Stock 4.3 ROM from ShonkUK i think that basically just updates all the applications to the 4.3 versions, without KNOX. There are also a number of Modified 4.3 ROMS that all dont have KNOX so you could check them out if you fancy it.
Cheers
There's KNOX, and KNOX apps. KNOX is inside the bootloader (or similar), KNOX Apps are somewhere inside the android file system.
Once the 4.3 bootloader is flashed, you're done. Most roms DON'T FLASH a bootloader, but be sure to check Usually, those flashed from recovery are safe.... from Odin... who can tell?
Thanks for the reply. Can you please give me a link from where I can download the rom or any specific name as there are lots of cwm roms available and its very confusing to pick up.

EVERY based on stock 4.3 rom here is on 4.1.2 bootloader.
However, before downloading any rom first take the time and read as much as possible, cause you seems to be novice and lazy
Try this, 4.1.2 bootloader and 4.3 rom

Your question is not precise enough. You have to tell us more info about your phone and also more things on what you want to do.
Do you have i9305 or i9300 ? If it's i9305, maybe I can help you.
Do you have new KNOX bootloader from JB 4.3 or new KNOX bootloader from KK 4.4.4 ?
Which 4.3 ROM do you want to flash ?
i have k.k bootloader(new bootloader) and my device is i9305 AND the rom i wana install is XXUENE4][JB4.3][6.8.2014] ▌★AMCHA Rom v6.11★

Since I've upgraded to new 4.4.4 bootloader, I've never flashed 4.3 or previous, but I think it should work.
If you flash this ROM or any other ones, don't forget to backup all your data.
Why don't you try Amcha KK instead ? Amcha JB is no more maintained.
