Does not get any easier than this...
Thanks to mmmeff over Rootzwiki
VERSION 1.1 has released with the ability to relock the bootloader. ERASE the previous version before downloading.

What will be the benefits of an unlocked bootloader?

Worked for me, now I just wish I knew how this is a benefit over what we already had... I mean we had root, recovery, custom roms and kernels already.... So what does this actually do?

I unlocked using another method by using a windows computer. Saw this and said **** it ill try this too. It still worked. When I opened the app it said bootloader status unknown now it says unlocked.

It's been said, but I still can't believe how much of a headache the bootloader has been and how easy the fix is... At least with this app. So awesome.

Forgive the noobness, but does flashing a kernel after you do this affect anything? I flashed imo's leankernel and I opened this app and it says status is unknown.

How do I relock the bootloader? Did I need to have had backed up my original bootloader? Is it specific per device?

Crap, just got done transferring about 20GB of data to my card... backup... grumble grumble.
Oh well, to have root explorer working and be able to delete the bloatware, it's totally worth it.
Yessssssssss
Cant wait to get started when I get home later today.
Bah, too early I guess. I don't want to flash an old firmware.

Hello All;
OK, I rooted my infuse, 2.2.1, i997uckd5, in updates i have one waiting, if i do it, it will loose something? like sim unlock or future custom rom ?
Sorry to ask this but I been reading a lot and my brain was damaged, old iphone user lol
i used the search...
thanks!
I wouldn't bother with the update and just flash one of the custom roms, they are based on newest update and there is even a gingerbread rom now...
Good luck.
Sent from my Samsung Infuse 4G
I don't know about sim unlock but it will update you to ucke3. I was never on that for long as I rooted and flashed Infused rom shortly after updating and haven't looked back since. Hope this helps.
As far as sim unlocking is concerned that's more or less a permanent change. Rooting, wiping, flashing, unbricking, etc. Won't undo it.

From what I've been reading you can root but I'm not sure if you can root once your on 4.3. Custom roms aren't currently available once you take the OTA or there is a good possibility you can hard brick your phone

I followed the steps and was able to get root on 4.3 just fine as well. Thanks to everyone for helping me with that.
I do have a question....it might very well be a dumb question but I'm asking anyway,
I've installed Titanium backup and I have the update.zip that I created prior to reverting to stock and then taking the OTA. From what I understand I can't use custom recovery, which was the only way I knew how to flash that update.zip to restore my apps+data. So, how do I flash this update.zip with root on 4.3? Is this still possible?
Thanks again to all for the help.
Saferoot worked for me (its a method designed for galaxy s4). Although I wouldn't recommend it. It may or may not have been the cause of a hard brick for me, but I tried unlocking the bootloader after using it, which is probably what threw it.

No. Once you took the ota you lost the ability to flash other ROMs. Unless one of the Dev's cracks the lock bootloader or finds a way around.
