ROM - Hardware Hacking General

Is it necessary to have boot loader unlocked in order to install any custom rom and kernel via cwm?
What could happen if boot loader is locked and ROM is installed?

I'm not sure I understand entirely what you're asking, but from what I've read you would need a bootloader that was not locked and had been signed with a key that your current bootloader will accept. Do you have one?
I think he means the following:
IF our bootloader wasn't locked and he would flash a custom ROM but wanted to return to the stock one, if he can flash his stock bootloader back to prevent bricks in the future.

[Q] Xt907 Locked Bootloader, Possible to install Cyanogenmod or Roms with Safestrape?

As the title says, I am wondering if I can install the current Cyanogenmod (file: cm-10.1.3-xt907.zip) with Safestrape/TWRP. My system version is 98.15.66.XT907.Verizon.en.US, baseband: SM_BP_101031.027.32.81P. I am aware that I have the OTA update that locked my bootloader, nulling the use of motopocalypse.
I did try flashing a Cyanogenmod build to Slot 2 of my recovery which ended up softbricking my phone. I might have messed up something during the flashing, or perhaps didn't change a certain setting.
The Safestrape version I have and used is 3.11, the latest build for my device is 3.12. Would 3.12 be any better when flashing Cyanogenmod?
Any help would be appreciated.
.66 was the OTA prior to the one that locked the bootloader. .78 locked the BL. Try to see if you can unlock.

Damn, ok. Thank you
Thanks, but the question remains. Is it possible to install CyanogenMod or other Roms with Safestrape/TWRP? I tried flashing it once again, but after I select reboot phone, it remains black. I have to do a hard reset on my phone to get it to recovery to restore the stock.

TWRP is for those of us with an unlocked boot loader... You can use safestrap sure... Not to many roms for it most all is stock/stock based... There is a old cm ROM you can flash in safe strap but it's an older one and I think the camera was broken... There is topics all over here about what you can do with a locked boot loader... Have you tried to unlock it yet...

You must install a custom recovery first.
CM Installer does everything.
I couldn't have bothered with unlocking the bootloader, installing custom recovery and rooting so i went for CM Installer which did all of that in less than a minute
