I've flashed advanced kernel on my locked BL... and got a bricked phone.
Had to flash stock firmware and start over.
Can you please detail a tested Advanced Stock Kernel that can be flashed into a locked Bootloader ?
The one I used is this one (build 14 via CWM) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729280
Thanks!

bootloader unlocking and rooting has nothing to do with flashing through PCC. just connect and if it says update do it...... u will only get problem if u flashed a custom rom.... if u flash custom u wont get update via PCC.... wait for a .tft file of ics...... i bet some one will eventually post it( and hopefullyearlier than the default PCC of ur region ).... then just flash it via flash tool..... if u find a .tft of ics sola the follow only the first step of this link

With an unlocked bootloader you cant update via pcc. You can either relock your phones bootloader and flash a stock rom or wait for someone to upload a ftf and flash it via flashtool

Thanks so for relocking does the rooting matter or do i have to do something to revert back the rooting also .. or just relocking is enough
Your phone won't boot after the relock so you'll have to flash a stock rom

Yup, that's the method which I use to relock my bootloader, (have done it two times already...will do it today again...getting ready for ICS )
will my phone be still rooted
hey im just wondering, will my phone be still rooted if i'll update via flashtool using a tft for ics sola or would it revert back to a non rooted phone? i hope it does stay to be rooted because i enjoy my rooted jb sola atm.

2:I heard a new update is coming.Will i lose root after updating it?
1. Only if you plan to install a Rom that needs a custom kernel.
2. Yes

It means i cannot overclock my phone
And if i have cwm recovery already installed,will it update or not?
I am asking this because my wildfire s could not update with custom recovery.
For O'Clock you need a custom kernel. For custom kernel you need UL bootloader. I didn't understand the second part.

Whenever there was a new ota update for wildfire s,it can only be updatable through stock recovery,not with custom recovery.

This is one of the programs which you can use to officially update your device.
The other one is PCC.
Im using St15i root, locked bootloader, .587 and ICS 4.0.4. I founded that Official CWM does not support st15i. So is there any CMW alternative or working one thats works for St15i both locked and unlocked bootloader. And last things is does Cyanogenmod 9/10 come preloaded with CWM?

maybe you dont have recovery
try this [CWM][ICS]CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 for Locked Bootloader[v1.0][29/11/2012]
or flash a kernel with recovery

Well, since you have already unlocked your bootloader, I'd suggest you flash a custom kernel... There are plenty of good ones out there...
