you can still get OTA updates if you root your phone, but only if you don't unlock the bootloader, in other words, if you unlock your bootloader you won't be able to update your phone, not even with PCC or SEUS

You won't recieve OTA updates if you unlock the bootloader using SE's tool but I believe you will if you are just looking to gain root for a few apps from the market.

how do i know if the bootloader is unlocked?

quite easy, run either PCC or SEUS if it says that it can not recognize your phone bc you have a modified software then that means the bootloader has been unlocked

it just says

bootloader unlock allowed . yes

what could this mean. is it unlocked??

It means you haven't got an unlocked bootloader so if you root you will still get OTA updates.
