I didnt unlock the bootloader of my last phone and I rooted it and flashed EVERY rom.
I want to flash rims and stuff but I got to unlocked the bootloader of my new and I don't want to.
If my last phone's bootloader was locked p, why can't the Play stay locked?
You don't need an unlocked bootloader to root (for most roms). You do need an unlocked bootloader to flash to the boot partition, seeing as the PLAY has no dedicated recovery partition. As such, no roms that require a different kernel will work on a locked bootloader

I'm trying to flash the new stock 4.4.4 ota but it's saying the phone has been modified. How do I go about flashing the ota now. It's tampered, Unlocked, s-off at&t.
What are my options? Should I just wait for the official firmware zip or can I just relock bootloader and then flash ota? Also, can I unlock a relocked bootloader? S-on btw
Yes you can unlock a relocked boot loader
So I unlocked my bootloader I'm on 7.1 old fw just got the phone can I update or will it lock

You can update. Bootloader will not relock unless YOU issue the appropriate fastboot command.
