The purpose of unlocking and flashing is so that you can have the whatever you want on you phone and not just what the phone comes with. You can install a ROM that has 6.5 or 6.5.x or one without TouchFlo. The idea is that your phone is not limited the the original OS version/setup that is on the phone when you got it.
You can always flash back to the stock ROMs they are listed

You can check if your phone has been unlocked by going into the bootloader (vol- power and reset ). If you see SPL-1.00.OliNex then you phone is unlocked.
If your phone is not unlocked then
Follow the steps listed in
this thread to unlock, and when you find a ROM that you want to flash. Just follow the steps in that. Thread.
