No, with a locked bootloader you cannot flash custom firmware.
will there be way to unlock the locked bootloader??
I wanted to know if I rooted my s3 would it remove my unlock & if its not a touchwiz base rom or if I can flash any rom at all btw I unlocked with the free method

Once your phone is UNLOCKED you cannot remove the unlock by
flashing roms and rooting or unrooting the phone.
You can flash any rom you like and or root or unroot your phone and it will remain UNLOCKED.
A unlocked or locked phone has nothing to do with rooting or flashing roms.
Good luck!
Thank you for the info will be rooting tonight

The only way is with a kexec (boot with stock so it bypass security and then load cyanogen mod kernel) as i come from xperia u and they have tryed the old 2011 way with the pins and that has been blocked.
They have tried to force change it in the .ta and all they did was brick phones.

doesnt have to.
someone has to port this to your device and find some free memory on boot and you can boot anything on locked bootloader.

hi, I just recently aquired the Nexus 7 2013 model, and I am currently not rooted. I want to root but I dont want to run CM or all the other custom roms. I just want a stock rooted rom.
Is there a stock rooted 4.4.2 rom for this device?
That is all, thanks!
There is one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563017
You will need a custom recovery in order to flash it!
Or you can just flash the SuperSU zip in recovery and it'll be rooted

You will need to unlock the bootloader first before flashing a root zip. Then you will have a stock rooted ROM. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XM3CBtAaoWU

I'm curious. I've never used a device with a locked bootloader. Since this tablet is about to get the 4.4.3 update, will unlocking the bootloader affect the update? Will I still receive the update.
I'm planning on unlocking the bootloader but not flashing the rootzip yet until I get the update.

Yes, you will still receive the OTA. Having an unlocked bootloader has no effect on updating via OTA.
You could just root and then re-lock the bootloader

That won't work. If you relock the bootloader everything has to be stock.
It would just refuse to lock

Only recovery needs to be stock to relock the bootloader, you can unlock, root and then relock - then you have rooted stock ROM and a locked bootloader without having to flash a custom recovery or ROM.

Are you sure? This wasn't the case with my Motorola Xoom. I thought everything needs to be stock, wouldn't this defeat the point of relocking since its meant to be factory settings for warranty purposes?

Have done it on both my N7 and N5 - does provide a small measure of security for the phone (my company allows rooted devices, but only with locked bootloaders) see http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/help/info-understanding-risks-unlocked-t1898664
after rooting - fastboot oem lock

fair enough, I stand corrected! Didn't know you could re-lock a rooted device.
So could you flash OmniROM, flash stock recovery and re-lock?

From what I understand, yes, that is correct - although I have heard that some ROMs require a custom recovery

Hmm interesting, a lot has changed since I've done any relocking so I'll read up about.
Thanks for clarifying some things

No need to go back to 4.1.2. You can fully root 4.3 with this. It's 100% working for me.
Make sure you use CVE-2014-3153.
But I need to backup my TA and I think it can only be done in rooted phone locked bootloader. So, is there any Way?

You can root jb 4.3 using towelroot. You can find more info about it somewhere here in the Xperia m forum.
Here's the guide to rooting without unlocking the bootloader in 4.3:
