Are you referring to unlocked bootloader or SIM unlocked? To do the OTA update, you have to relock the bootloader yourself before the OTA update will work. If you're referring to SIM unlock, if your phone is already SIM unlocked, the OTA update will not alter that, it will still be SIM unlocked after the update.

Ota need stock recovery unmodified system bootloader locked or unlocked
For manually ota flash need S off
So no need relock boot loader

I've never gotten a T-Mobile OTA update to work if the bootloader is unlocked. Any modification other than S-OFF causes the OTA to fail.

Unlocked Boot loader?

Is it true that the S6 is Boot loader unlocked out of the gate? Also I've heard that it even comes with an unlocking tool to unlock it. That would be awesome. It would make putting a stock 5.1 ROM on this very easy....
it is unlocked out of the gate i flashed root in a matter of seconds with no unlock required.

Locked Bootloader

My Bootloader is not unlockable. Bootloader unlock allowed = no. As far as I know I can't change to yes and there is no aosp roms on locked Bootloader. So my question is what can I do with a locked Bootloader? Also if I root on locked Bootloader can I still receive updates from Sony via ota?

Looking there will help you, there is no way to unlock the bootloader if it says 'no' you can still root your phone by downgrading to kitkat 108 and using the EasyRootTool to root your phone and then Nuts dual recovery installer. You will still be able to get OTA updates however they will remove root, you would need a pre-rooted firmware to keep root.
Okay so if install the previous rooted. 242 ftf I'll have root even after otas? And say I installed a 4k mod or stereo speaker mod, could I still receive ota?
Any OTA update will remove root meaning it will not exist on your phone. Any update you use will need to be pre-rooted in order to keep root on your phone.

unlocked bootloader allows you to flash partition images via fastboot. I have not seen any issues with an unlocked bootloader. Also, update to marshmallow if you can,,,,,cause it has native move to SD if you didnt have it 5.1.1

Get unlock code on already unlocked (and rooted) device

Hi,
I have a VIE-AL10, firmware B183. I am trying to update to B195 but I believe I cannot do it because I unlocked the phone.
I don't need the unlocked bootloader anymore (for now) and my idea was to relock it and unlock it again in the future but unfortunely I have lost the code I got using DCUnlocker.
There is a way to recover the code in this unlocked and rooted phone?

U can update with unlocked bootloader but not if u have TWRP and root. If u have it i need to unroot and install stock recovery.

Thank you, I imagined that. Any way to recover the unlock code so that I can redo the unlock procedure after I upgraded the phone?
