Yes bro. I'm speaking of personal experience here. I've flashed over 20 different firmwares from different countries on my S2 and S3. They all worked perfectly.

Nah man. I dont want to unroot it or restore it. Because if i restore it, it would require a. European sim card to activate. Which i do not have.

Bro, flashinf a stock ROM will probably wipe data anyway.

And no it wont. Once it's unlocked, then it's unlocked. You never will need a European sim card. Who told you that you'll need one?

All you need is a working modem and baseband for your device. I am sure it's already been flashed in your device that's why it is working. You can make a backup of it and flash it after upgrading. Or If you falsh a zip file of firmware , just unzip it prior flashing and delete modem.img from it.

That might have been OTA update.

I had 4 locked S3's.

1st one: SHV-E210L: locked to LG U+ (South Korea), I flashed stock 4.3 and phone remained unlocked.

2nd one: GT-I9300: locked to Vodafone UK, I flashed stock 4.1.2, phone remained unlocked.

3rd one: GT-I9300: locked to ORANGE UK, I flashed stock 4.1.2, phone remained unlocked.

4th one: SGH-I747M: locked to Rogers Canada, flashed stock 4.3, phone remained unlocked.

Updating can not re-lock an android phone that has already been unlocked.

Re-locking only happens on iPhones.
