i have not rooted it yet...my question is not regarding the root..
my device is running on gingerbread ...if i root it and install a custom ROM (ICS Based) do i have to get it unlocked again??
if its unlocked its unlocked, only way you will lose unlock is if you brick your device.

Incorrect.
Once you flash a rooted kernel its rooted. You could then flash a non-rooted rom (stock for example) and not have root access, until you flash another rooted kernel.

Yes! I want to install ICS not GB rom on my phone with locked BL.
I have read a post about installing cwm on locked BL, but I dont know if it would work.
Hey all, I was looking to find a guide about how to root now that we have ics. I was rooted but unrooted to get the OTA. I have s on and a relocked bootloader. I assume I just unlock the bootloader again and I flash some sort of recovery then install superuser, but I would like to see a guide to make sure I am doing things right. Thanks!

I wouls like to install ICS or JB on my Photon.
However, it is 2.3.5 locked BL.
Any version that works with that ?
Thanks
It can't happen. With a locked bootloader you can only use the stock kernel.
why ? My friend have a DROID 3 running ICS

until an unlocked bootloader is leaked from motorola or someone can find a work around. you will never be able to flash anything other than a stock rom. i think everyone has given up on unlocking the bootloader. the electrify has had a locked bootloader for a year and still nothing. so don't expect anything soon if ever. sorry. :crying:
So I just noticed today (been very busy with work) that there are some ME7 roms. I wanted to try the, is it Bone Stock one. So my stupid question, is if I try this rom.. I am not stuck to that am I? Like if I took the OTA I am stuck with that... that isnt the case with one of the ME7 roms, correct?
Sorry for the ignorance.
If you took the ota ME7 update, you can root, but cannot flash any roms as there is no custom recovery available. If your still on MDK, you can root and install custom recovery which will allow you to flash roms, even ME7 roms.

You won't be disappointed if you're looking for a stable ROM and good battery life. Not that I have anything bad to say about the others. All the active choices seem good.

S4 has never had an unlocked bootloader, it uses the Loki exploit which enables you to basically do everything you could do with an unlocked boot loader. I think all this bootloader talk has many misinformed. I could care less about an unlocked bootloader, I would like an exploit like Loki again if possible.
But to answer your question, you will still have the Loki exploit.

We don't have a pro dev for our phone.
So don't ask for roms, start developing by yourself.

Actually, we haven't unlocked the bootloader, but we have found a way to bypass the Secure Boot Check and, as a side effect, we also got access to fastboot commands.
