Yes I finally steped up and went through with unlocking the bootloader with jinx13. Its not yet done because im running windows 8 and my pc crashes but tomorrow i'll do it in another computer. But to the point!
I need advices on what not to do. The only problem is OTA and using PCC and Seus right? Any advice is appretiated!

When using test point via setools you cab still use pcc and seus and you will still keep drm,( think this was resolved after ics).
There are no issues with unlocked bootloader, you can only gain.
Just a point to remember that you can always relock bootloader with jinx13 if needed, as the server keeps records.

Just to clarify my previous post about the relock, if jinx13 does it then he can relock, if you use other company, then only they can relock. Hope this makes it more clearer.

I have just rooted using Superoneclick with ZergRush, (bootloader is still locked), and uninstalled some of the bloat (video unlimited, timescape, etc....), using Titanium.
My question is that when Sony Ericsson release an OTA update (i'm currently on 2.3.4). Will I be able to update without any problems?
If not how would I go about updating?
I have an unbranded generic R800i (UK model).
Thanks.
(sorry if this question has been answered before).
You will be able to update without any problems

You can unlock with SDK.Sony Ericsson will let you unlock boot loader but!you lose your warranty.just google and get the code from se to unlock bl.it didn't effect if you are rooted and have locked bl.

Not really bothered about unlocking the boot loader atm. Just wanted to root so I could remove some of the bloat.

Actually if you delete any files from /system/app/ you will not be able to ota update (update will fail). But afaik you can still use seus/pc companion to update.

Oh ok. That's not too bad then
Is there absolutely no way of restoring DRM?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
As far as I know, there is absolutely no way of getting them back.

I have relocked the bootloader though..
It doesn't matter: the certificates were wiped and PC Companion can't give them back to you.
It's just a fact of life I guess

Can I flash a kernel on my mobilephone (r800a) rooted/locked bootloader? Is there any other way that I can do it? (Cannot unlock bootloader btw)
You can't. You need an unlocked bootloader for that.

You can. Just look for the ROMs with locked bootloader instructions.

+1 on that, make sure it says for locked bootloaders otherwise, you'll be up **** creek w/o a paddle lol. Look into getting your bootloader unlocked sometime, it's well worth the $24
Might be too late but make sure the ROMs are for CDMA and not GSM if you're on the R800x. Some have CDMA patches you need to flash.
