You better ask questions in questions and answers sections... I think you dont understand bootloader... bootloader unlocked for usually for root the phone and then install custom ROM.. but xperia s can be rooted with locked bootloader as well (another way)... But some ROMs needs (ROMs with non-stock kernel) bootloader unlocked...

Also u dont need a poll for this lol....
PHONE:Xperia S

Please use the Q&A section for all questions and request threads.
Read the XDA rules, read #15 twice
Also search search search. This topic has been covered many times in many threads.
XDA is a do-it-yourself forum not a give-me-the-answers forum.
