I have rooted my rogers phone the UK way and am wondering if i want to install some custom roms/cm7 do i need to unlock my bootloader? I am a noob......there is so much information on this site....bear with me and my questions.
Flashing a stock ROM such as the generic doesn't need an unlocked bootloader because it uses stock kernel, and doesn't need a custom recovery. That's why you can just use flashtool.
CM7 uses a custom kernel and needs recovery, so you need to unlock the bootloader.

I have ICS ota, can I just get root.
If I install root and cwm can I do costom roms or do I need the unlocked bootloader also..?
If I don't need the unlocked bootloader what would it gain me.

You can flash mm bootloader as long as you are on aosp based rom and then unlock your bootloader from kk-mm bootloader unlock thread for s5 verizon
