oohh...?!?

You described in your tutorial howto unlock the bootloader with the test point unlock. This metode is described here 6 months ago. This has nothing to do with rooting your device.

Howto root your Ray without unlocking your bootloader (loosing warranty) is only possible with the .42 Fimware in 2.3.4

your bootloader is UNLOCKED
it's not rooted, rooting is related to the firmware once you unlock your bootloader you can flash a ROOTED rom, or root your stock rom using methords available. Unlocked bootloader also allowes you to flash a custom Kernal.
(anyone correct me if im wrong)

As discussed in messenger you suceeded in unlocking the bootloader that has been done by many already.
Next step is to read tutorials and ask questions to make sure you understand everything fully.
Many people brick their phone due to not understanding and if in doubt... Ask.
On that note the best GND for that phone is the metal sim housing

Good luck

Yes it can, depending on the method you use to sim unlock and what method you used to unlock the bootloader
