What are the pros & cons of unlocking the bootloader?
Are you able to flash any other FW without relocking?
What are the limitations of a locked bootloader?
Sorry for being a complete NOOB!
Thx
No one got any comments?

Is it posible to flash a prerooted official image with digital signature (if that exists) without having the bootloader unlocked?
my problem is that i can't unlock my bootloader because of my phone company, but i recently flashed the new ICS to my phone and it worked perfectly. this wasnt a problem apparently because it was signed by sony or something and the bootloader didn't complain. so, does there exist a rooted but official image i can flash without unlocking the bootloader?
Thank you all in advance. im really frustrated by not being able to root my device :crying:
hope somebody can help.

Hey guys n' gals. How can I root this phone without unlocking my bootloader?
Just a technical question..
Why are bootloaders locked when devices are shipped out by the manufacturers, and after getting it unlocked to update to a new ROM (I want to flash my Z4 Tablet to lineageos) should it stay unlocked or does it need/should be locked again?
Thanks for the clarification is anyone knows
