What roms can I install if I only have root. ( boot loader is locked)
None. All custom roms require unlocked bootloaders.
Flashtool works with a locked bootloader though right? So he could flash FTFs of stock roms

Which ROMs can be installed with a locked bootloader? Mine can't be unlocked. As far as I know there's no way to get a different kernel with a locked bootloader.
You can only install custom ROMs based on stock ROM and use stock kernel. You can also head to the development section and find a ROM that runs on a phone with a locked bootloader. The developer will usually tell you if his ROM can run on a phone with locked bootloader.

My bootloader cannot be unlocked, so I use this recovery and I tried to flash custom roms (cyanogenmod and slimkat) but when it's flashed I try to start my phone but it won't start just vibrate

Since You cannot unlock bootloader, You cannot use the V 4.4 ROM's as these require unlocked bootloader. You can use ROM's which support Locked bootloader. Look for [LB] in the ROM threads. Y
Is carrier unlocking (only) bootloader related?
In other words, will a custom rom or a custom recovery interfere with the carrier unlock?
If you want to carrier unlock the phone you must be on the original stock rom (the bootloader can be unlocked). You can't carrier unlock the phone on a custom rom. So no they are not related.
So the advice is to carrier unlock the device first before even unlocking the bootloader and after that proceed with custom roms if you wish.
my bootload is unlocked, i have a custom recovery and a custom rom installed
so you are recommending that i restore stock recovery and stock rom and then unlock it (but i dont need to lock the bootloader)?
To carrier unlock you must return to your stock rom and recovery otherwise it won't work. The bootloader can stay unlocked.
I unlocked mine while using MaximusHD with lyapota kernel and twrp recovery installed and I had no problems at all, maybe you just need a Rom based on sense and NOT aosp, cyanogen mod etc.
Is it possible for a S3 to have a locked bootloader with a custom ROM and recovery?
I don't remember ever unlocking the bootloader, yet I have a custom ROM installed; AFAIK, I have to have an unlocked bootloader to flash custom ROMs. Yet when I ran the Synergy IMEI backup script, it skipped the process due to a locked bootloader.
This paradox is hurting my head.
Its not locked
Hi i would just like to ask something that has been confusing me for quite a while now. I've had my hydrogen for a week and ive unlocked bl, rooted now with a custom rom(rr rom 5.7.4 working great!!) I did not actually wanted to unlock the bootloader but to be safe, i followed the instructions.
so here it is, before mi max, I had a mi4i, an xperia, and a zenfone 4, done the same, root,install custom recovery, and flashed custom roms.. the only unit i unlocked bl was the xperia since i wanted to flash Official CM, (CM's comes with their own kernel right? so flashing them needs bl unlocked) but when BL was locked i could still flash roms, manual update, (ROMs that are meant for locked bl only). then with mi4i (locked bl) i was able to root, install twrp, manual flash updates, official roms, and custom rom (CM13).
The part where I am confused is, why do i need my bootloader unlocked if i was going to root,install twrp, and flash custom roms only on my max without touching the kernel? When in my previous experiences as long as i dont need touch/tweak the kernel, i dont need my bootloader to be unlocked.
Sorry for long post..
I hope my question makes sense
