I have TWRP flashed, bootloader unlocked, and am rooted. Can I flash a custom ROM while being rooted or will that mess up the ROM?

Backup boot, system, and data in TWRP. Now do a Factory Reset and wipe System then flash the custom rom and gapps of your choosing. You'll be good to go after this. Don't flash a custom rom over the stock rom.

Having root will not mess anything up or cause you any issues while flashing a custom ROM.

I'm looking to flash a new ROM+Kernel to my phone. I wanted to flash MIUI and Tiamat's new kernel but am unsure of the proper procedure. I've only ever flashed ROMs.
Do I wipe everything, flash kernel, flash ROM and then reboot? Are there any issues I should be aware of first?
Thanks.
Wipe data/dalvik, flash rom, boot, boot back to recovery and flash kernel.

Damnit. What about if I flash a custom tw ROM? I just want to get back to tw with root and use my Bluetooth

They always come pre-rooted and never contain a recovery. So that should work for you.

hey guys, same question but i was wandering if i flash stock rom using twrp, would my booloader be locked?
I am trying to reset my flash counter to 0 so my allshare cast dongle works. btw triangle away didnt work. it goes to 1.

TriangleAway works fine. Your bootloader will not be locked.

Will the bootloader be unlocked or will get locked again?

Bootloader stays unlocked.
The bootloader on the T999 was never locked. Using any program to unlock the bootloader will brick the phone.
Is it possible to flash a custom kernel like Trinity to my Gnex stock 4.2.2 rom without wiping?

Unlocked bootloader is needed to run a custom kernel. Root is needed to tinker with and make proper use of said kernel unless you wanna run the stock values. And really, what's the fun in that? Since (if I remember correctly) unlocking your boot loader requires a wipe, then no I don't think you can. But considering most of us have probably done fresh installs literally hundreds on times, I can tell you it doesn't take long at all to set your device back up. Just do it.
My Gnex has unlocked and rooted already, so I can just flash without doing any wiping, right?

At this moment I have a custom Rom and kernel on my nexus 7. Kitkat will be out soon, what is the best way to get ota for Kitkat? Flash back to original software? Where can I download that?

Simple, wait until it's actually announced and ready to download for your device. When 4.4 is announced, it may or may not be ready that very same day, so sit tight. You'll see enough news about it to know when it's ready.
I'll get an ota message even if I'm on a custom rom? And I can install that without any problems?

No, when it's release and ready to download just go back to the stock rom, then there you'll get the OTA.
I personally will wait to download the img, restore the Nexus to 4.4 and just to try Kit Kat, then I'll just flash back to AICP, I'll wait then for 4.4 to get incorporated into custom ROMs.
I'm on stock ROM and stock recovery, but rooted + custom Kernel, does anyone know if I can receive the OTA?

No. You need stock recovery AND stock kernel.

Where should I get the stock kernel? I did not make a nandroid backup as I did not flash the recovery, I only used fastboot boot recovery.img
If I flash the stock google images, does it wipe the virtual sd content? or only my data? Thanks a lot for helping me out!

You can get it from the stock images, just extract the boot.img and flash that via bootloader using fastboot. Same goes for stock recovery.
I want to update my device to N900TUVSFPH3 from fob6..do we need to unroot first, then flashing in Odin?
There is no need to unroot before flashing in Odin. One thing I highly recommend is backing up your data before flashing in case something goes wrong.

With Samsung phones, it is not always possible to revert to a previous bootloader. Unfortuantely, I don't know the Note 3 well enough to say whether it can or can't be done. Personally, I always run the latest modem and bootloader on a Samsung phone, regardless of whether it will run a stock or custom ROM.

The bootloader will not look, but it may be non-downgrade-able.
Flashing the latest stock rom via Odin will upgrade everything on the phone to the latest stock rom, including bootloader and modem.
