No, because you can only flash custom ROMs from a custom recovery, which you can only install with perm root.
Understand. Thank you

You can't install a custom rom without root. You need busybox, SU and the root exploit to allow you to flash a custom rom. The reason the overclocking app doesn't work is because you don't have super user permission (part of rooting) and the stock kernel isn't scalable if I remember right. Point is no root no rom lol.

you MUST have root access to overclock Milestone
All wrong!
You can install ROM whitout being root. All you need is just flash the Vulnerable Recovery.
Once you have it, you are ready to execute the OR update.zip and boom.
From there you can root it or not.

absolutely correct..rooting the device is independent of updating the Rom..
I do keeping on changing roms without root.

That's what the op was asking (reference to scaling/overclocking)...you can't install a "custom" rom with a custom kernel, radio etc without root priveledges. Basic consumer handsets do not allow writing to the system partition(Hence the need for root. With the exception of ota updates or manual updates from the provider/manufacturer.)

Just flash. All custom ROMs have root.
Btw, you need a custom recovery to flash a ROM (like TWRP, CWM)

Not necessarily. You can flash a custom recovery through Odin and not root it at all and then just install a already rooted ROM.

CWM is always reliable. Some prefer TWRP. I'm using Philz Touch. It depends on your preferences. CWM is the most stable.
Hi:
I have flashed a ROM Stock with Knox in 0x0 and root. How could install a Custom Recovery like CWM or Philz without up to 0x1?
Maybe ... Could with Mobile Odin Pro? or is there any safe method to install a Custom Recovery like SafeRoot method for root?
Thanks in advance.
You can't.

No. Only with android 4.2.2 was possible flash a custom recovery and custom roms without trip the KNOX.
The title is basically my question, but to elaborate: Do I need to do an initial process before flashing a custom ROM or does flashing a custom ROM form part of rooting?
you need root to flash a custom rom.
you can say root is only a doorway to customization.

Incorrect. You don't need root to flash a custom rom.
You need a custom recovery to flash rom. You don't need root for that.

Yes it is, but you will lose your warranty anyway, it's not important if you got root or not

You don't need root to flash a custom ROM.
You just need a custom recovery. TWRP is recommended.

You don't need root. TWRP can be flashed with Odin and this doesn't require root.
Rooting and flashing a custom ROM are different and separate things.
