There you go, ExistenZ ROM can be installed on both locked and unlocked bootloaders, just make sure to follow the installation described there for locked bootloader
Hope this can help you

Thank you very much, hope the number of ROMs starts to grow up!
You can install on Locked Bootloader every rom which is based on Stock firmware. So search ROMs which are "made on" stock firmware.
Just found Honami Flavoured Stock ROM in Original Android Development section.

So that means there are only custom ROMs with Android 4.1.2?

No, SIM lock has nothing to do with what Rom the phone is running. Please ask in Q/A about SIM locks.

Does this rom have a "new" Radio/Baseband Firmware included ?
How good is this version?? I mean... quadrant or antutu score, I have the latest retail brazil firmware and is an excellent one, the only problem is that I can't get root.
matt
as it seems that my phone is not elligible to be rooted according to the motorola website does this mean that if I use this "routine" it will unlock my phone and root it so I can remove waste apps etc
excuse the ignorance but I want to be sure
thanks
whats the news for that rom?
Matt, any comments about flashing this over .3900 gb retail to try and work around the current inability to upgrade to 4.1.2?
How would it effect a currently unlocked / rooted version? We wouldnt be digging a deeper hole would we?

For upgrading and downgrading you should be using the Homemade fastboots.
Hi, when I flashed this I got bootloop - so for me at least, DO wipe data. Also, root seems to appear, but every app on my phone complains that there is no root. I'm trying to find what root we used for ICS ...
UPDATE: Ok I uninstalled all superuser material and tried the ICS mototofail (locked bootloader, I didn't realise the BL would be relocked after downgrading) and some apps are accepting root status -some still say no root-. That is progress.
Hai, Anyone can upload Stock 81.5.31002 GB ICS say in homemade fastboot or CWM? Thanks.
is that stock kernel have a "2way callrecording patch" inside ?
Needs reup, unless you can point me someone else that doesn't 404

Please use the search guys, this has been discussed in many threads all over here and the general section ever since 4.3 was released.
Currently, the only way to root after you have already flashed 4.3 is to unlock your bootloader and flash DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel.
That's it, until somebody finds a way to root with a locked bootloader and that doesn't mean you have to post asking for it. Once someone has a breakthrough, they will publish their work here for certain.

If your bootloader is unlocked you can try this. It worked for me.

So, basically exactly what I already said. Flash DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel and flash a superuser zip.
No need to give page views to yet another website that just reproduces guides/work of XDA members.

I'm not sure why you revived this thread that is several months old to post that.
Firstly, it's just a reproduction of information from a couple of DooMLoRD's threads from here and here on XDA.
Secondly, it directly links to his files, which is a no no.
Thirdly, there are also direct links in that article to unofficially hosted versions of Androxyde's Flashtool, which is also not polite.
Please don't push page views to places that do things like that. Thanks.

The stock 4.3 ROM won't update your firmware (hboot, radio and all the other stuff). You can update that manually even without S-OFF, I've written the instructions multiple times in this forum.
If you install the 4.3 stock ROM and then some other 4.3 ROM, you will accomplish exactly the same thing as if you simply installed the other 4.3 ROM straight away. In other words, installing the 4.3 stock ROM doesn't make any difference at all if you intend to install something else anyway.
ahh I get it. I can't seem to be able to find those instructions that you've posted , tried checking your profile but couldn't find anything.

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't, but just to be on the safe side, always take a nandroid backup before installing anything. If it does not run, try to install the latest firmware as explained in the post linked above and try again.
