Rooting alone doesn't accomplish anything, but once rooted you can do anything to your phone, including carrier-unlocking, blocking updates, or rewriting the whole operating system. The only thing a carrier could still do in theory is blacklist your device from connecting to their network, which I've never heard of anyone doing.

I know there are some handsets which the SIM Lock may be manipulated via block device, but you often have to issue dialer commands to the baseband firmware.
