Ive heard that you cant install custom roms on a droid maxx simply because the bootloader is locked. But if my phone is rooted is it possible to install custom roms like CM if so how do I do it?
No you can't install custom Roms as it is necessary to unlock the bootloader prior installation of roms.

does my evo have to be rooted, in order to install a custom bootloader?
Hi,
I was wondering if you had to be rooted to install a custom rom on my phone. Thanks
Rooted no. S-off or unlocked by HTCdev yes.
Once your either one of the above, you need to flash a custom recovery, then you can install roms and root.
my phone was originally on vodafone but today i switched to 3 i was wondering if i flash the 3 ruu to my phone will it come with all the correct settings and 3 boot logo etc? Thanks
I have a Razr M on 98.18.94.XT907. Running Jellybean 4.1.2. I have rooted it but from what I have read the bootloader cannot be unlocked.
I am new to droids so if I use the terminology wrong forgive me. From what I have read (most forum posts are 3 months old though) I can flash a custom ROM on this device without unlocking the bootloader but it has to be a custom build used with safestrap. The problem is I am not too sure how to do this and I have not found a live link to such a file or tutorial. If anyone can give me some instruction on how to install custom roms on locked boot loaders and which one to use for my phone I would appreciate it a lot.
Hey guys.
I've got a Moto Maxx XT1225 (similar to Verizon's Droid Turbo).
The bootloader is unlockable, but I was wondering if it's possible to get root since there's no custom recovery for it yet.
If yes, how?
Usually I unlock the bootloader, then install a custom recovery and flash supersu with it.
If there's no custom recovery, I have no idea what to do.
I successfully unlocked my Droid maxx. What is the best recovery option that will allow me to backup my current rom before installing a custom rom?
