Effects of bootloader unlock - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hey y'all. I've got a new S9 (first galaxy for me) and I'm wondering, what are the complete effects of bootloader unlocking on these?
What will stop working, what functionality will be lost?
Thanks in advance

These don't break unless you trip KNOX, purely unlocking the BL does not trip KNOX

What's your point only unlock?!
Only reason to unlock the bootloader is for root...

[Q] Another noob question

I have a Xperia Arc s on stock .587 firmware and I wanted to flash Lupus kernel on it, but I can't enter on Fastboot mode
Is there any other method to flash .img kernels on the device?

[Q] eFuse in Note 2 - knox

Hi,
I hope its not a stupid question, but the locked knox bootloader apeared for the first time in Note 3, so assuming that the theories that root/custom roms trip/burn an eFuse are real:
Any chance that when Knox Bootloader is tripped to 0x1 its not an eFuse (on Note 2), and easily hacked?
Thank you...

This is the method I used but fair warning. It does trip Knox flag.

err on the side of kindness
Virgin in Canada is the i747m, not i747. Check in About to confirm which baseband and model you have before flashing anything.
Mine is i747 not m

For the i747, you can flash the stock i747 4.1.1 firmware from sammobile.com using Odin. Then, run OTA updates until you get to 4.3 or 4.4.2.
What country is the phone being used in?
In Venezuela.. But by doing that wouldn't I lose the unlocked?
Enviado desde mi GT-N7100 mediante Tapatalk
Once carrier unlocked, the phone will remain unlocked even if you change bootloaders and ROMs.
Ok so I just download the sammobile firmware and flash via odin and thats it
Got it thanks all

wrong place to ask your question..
to answer it, yes, you can.. its very simple too.. theres many threads on this, just look around
Don't bother with that now, the unlocked (U1) phone just got the June update and FM Radio.
