Unless you do plan on unlocking the bootloader, if so u just flash an auto rooting kernel. Google- sony bootloader unlocking - and follow the official sony guide through

[Q] should i stay with locked bootloader or unlock the bootloader

Hello everybody
i have this dilemma with my Xperia S LT26i.. i have it with locked bootloader ando is going well... do yo think is bettes stay with locked bootloader? or unlock it... and... the other thing.. is how do you know if your bootloader has been unlocked and relocked again?

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....
