There are myriad apps that require root access, just wondering, have you rooted your phone or did you try to and that's why you want to know if your phone is rooted?

Having a rooted phone its not going to create any issues, the only problem is if you unlock the bootloader, then you wouldn't be able to use PCC or SUS or Bridge

Update Service (SUS)

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

i fond some one say Dial *#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration". If there is:
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked

i found
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes

another one say
If you unlock your bootlaoder, you will loose the DRM aplications like TrackID. So start the TrackID app and if it works, your bootloader is still locked, if it doesn't and you get some error, then it's unlocked

it works !

please tell me is there any issues or i can now update by all ways !

On the service menu

if it says bootloader unlock allowed yes, that doesn't meant that your bootloader its unlocked, it means that you can unlock it if you want to.

Just install PCC or SUS on your PC and follow the steps if you get a message: you have modified software then your bootloader its unlocked.

If it says Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes then your bootloader is locked and you can use PCC and SUS to update

If those programs were to say modified software detected then you can be sure than no alterations to your phone would have been performed
