Can flash roms from bootstrap recovery. No need to unlock bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227867 here is a thread on keeping 4g when unlocked, and rooted.

Everything is stock on the phone except it is rooted. Can I still do the OTA or not?

OK thanks. I had only seen threads with them being on different ROMs or kernels.

Hi guys, I was wondering if there is a 4G fix for an unlocked bootloader for the Photon?

Nope. And there probably won't be unless moto makes the photon unlockable with their new utility.

I believe I read that relocking the bootloaded on a stock rom fixes 4g... Haven't done it myself since my area doesn't have nor will ever receive WiMax based 4g service. You do this throud RSD Lite, the files you need are available from Lokifish Marz, you can find his stuff in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611911
As far as I know you are right. You can unlock, flash a rom with a stock kernel, and re-lock to retain 4g.

So, I'm kinda lost.. It as been a while, since I have used my live with walkman and now I see roms saying "unlocked/locked".. Afaik, to install a custom rom, we need unlocked bootloader, right? Can we now install custom roms, without unlocked bootloader, or locked means another thing? Thanks..
Edit - god, I'm so dumb.. I was thinking on other things, plz mods remove this topic..
P.s. - sorry my bad english

Well You Can't Flash That ROM on Locked Bootloader because it only Support the Unlocked Bootloader.
You Will have to Unlock Your Bootloader first. After you unlocked your bootloader then Flash a JB kernel (MESA 2.3 or any others)
Sent from my ST15i using xda premium
Buh, nevermind.. I can't install roms with bootloader locked, above the ones sony gives support, because of the kernel.. So, no jb without unlocked bootloader..
Thanks anyway..
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
Yes, no jb. But here are some roms, supporting locked bootloader. Many stock based roms and some MIUI

Unlocked no - sorry. Best you can do is root it, put bootstrap on it, and run one of a few unlocked "ROMs".
