Rom w/o Unlocking
 

I am curious, maybe this is a stupid question I've searched but I am gettin no real answer. I was wonderign is it possible to install a new rom w/o unlocking your phone? I know when I had my mogul and the 6.1 software came out all i had to do was download it and install it. So I wanna know Are there any roms i can just install without unlocking my phone and voiding the warranty? Thanx for any info anyone can give.

Unless it's released by your service provider, then no.

if your phone is not unlocked you can only install roms that are released by your provider.

short answer no, while its theoretically possible someone would have to crack the code needed to make a rom signed properly so the locked spl wouldn't reject it.

No, the only way to flash a custom ROM is to unlock the phone. ROMS from the carriers (for example, updates from Sprint), will install on a locked phone but only because they are official carrier versions of the ROMs. All other custom ROMs require the unlocker. I have unlocked both the TP and TP2 without issue and have never looked back to stock ROMs. Hope this helps.

The unlocker, to flash custom roms is free, you only have to pay if you want the security unlocker that allows use on GSM network, by allowing you to put in a tmobile or AT&T sim.
