No, there is no need to get update from PC companion, you can download and flash custom ROMS made by devs at XDA which are better,cleaner,faster and awesome
No, you will need CWM to install the ROM which will be in the form of .zip so you should not remove CWM

Thanks dude, but i want to use official ics from Sony, also my bootloader is lock.
so rooted and CWM recovery do affect official updates and installation of ics? O_O

Uninstall cwm but keep the root and then do the OTA (over the air) then yoou will keep your root but if you update with pcc then you are losing your root, but if you update with CWM then you get an error cannot install the update, but mate this is already posted so why double?
learn to search buddy
remove CWM, leave root, it's been talked about that already, read few threads in general section.
EDIT: slow for a minute..
Thanks to all!

You won't recieve OTA updates if you unlock the bootloader using SE's tool
ie you cannot install if you unlock your bootloader, however your bootloader is locked so you can get official sony updates
Q.how do i know if the bootloader is unlocked?
quite easy, run either PCC or SEUS if it says that it can not recognize your phone bc you have a modified software then that means the bootloader has been unlocked.
Hey guys,
Im searching this forum and googling about removing/unstalling CWM recovery for Neo V but no luck even on thread where i learn how to install cwm.
Can i still get from help from you experts?

That means that bootloader has been unlocked official way(Sony dev. page)
Bootloaders un-officialy unlocked can be updated via PCC or SEUS.

Actually when i installed earlier 7.5 ( rainbowmod1.4) i didnt hard reset the phone just to see if it works without hardreset or not. It worked.. Means my bootloader didnt upgrade to DLOAD.. Actually i cudnt under why the need to upgrade to DLOAD.
Have u tried Nokia lumia downloader.. It works in windows no need to install linux (ubuntu)
I install wp7.8 ( rainbowmodv2.1) using nokia lumia downloader.

If you follow that thread i think you can be on .62 gb rooted, otherwise search for another
After rooting bootloader is NOT unlocked. Unlocking it allows you to install custom kernels in order to improve performance or get more ROMS like cyanogenmod jelly bean. It's a whole different story unlocking it
A kernel tells the device what to do, basically. ROMs are modified system files by users to mod their device. This is really base explained
Jelly bean is still experimental so all roms will have bugs. You need to unlock your bootloader for it
Well, the best would be back up with cwm but you cant, so if you wanna save all your data, search for some backup app

Firstly you don't need bootloader unlocked for custom roms(just root is needed) but u need it unlocked for installing custom roms.....and please don't ask about best/fast/good Rom since these type of thread are discouraged and u won't get your answer instead a hell lot of people mocking you for this....please be careful next time

AJ

You don't need to downgrade to root if you want to unlock the bootloader. Just unlock it and flash a prerooted kernel like rage kernel and you will be rooted and cwm or TWRP recovery are built in
Try some and you will find your personal best rom :good:
As the title says, I am asking whether i can use cyanogenmod installer via play store to unlock bootloader. I have stock rom and I want to install 4.4 roms and i got sick of waiting for samsung to release an update. So i am asking if I used cyanogenmod installer to unlock the device and then unroot by myself. After then can i install other custom roms just by flashing them? Is this a safe course to follow or do you suggest it would be better to follow one of the guides that shows how to install custom roms on S3 from start(stock rom)?

Do not forget! There are couples of old Lumia's to able to handle the Windows 10, or even the Redstone.
Do not hassle with xap's or appx's to make it Interop unlocked. There is still hope for them.
Do not throw away your 520, 820 or 920 Lumia's. Flash it with our Custom ROM and forget the tweaks for good.
Do not stop on 8.1, let it upgrade to Widnows 10 without worrying about loosing unlock.
Do not install any tweaks, just switch to mass storage mode and voila !
Remember! Before applying the each custom ROM, flash the device with listed stock ROM.

@djtonka is the custom rom stable enough for my primary lumia 520, I want to know because in past I hacked my phone and installed GDR2 via registry hack tutorial on Wp central forum and at that time GDR 2 doesn't run smoothly on phone so I flashed back to GDR 1, is this custom rom runs smoothly ??
Further, the stock Rom available on windowsmania.pl is 3058.51000.1523.1010 CV z PL, but WDRT shows me latest image on server for my phone is 3058.50000.1425.0001 (8.10.14219.341)
