Can I unlock my bootloader without HTC dev so that I wont void my 90 day post-repair warranty? If not, can I root the phone without unlocking the bootloader?

Sorry for the dumb question but once the handset is unlocked with an unlock code, is it permanent? Will flashing new firmware relock it?
Thanks.

Yes, phone unlock is permanent (unless you relock it).
Note: phone unlock != sim unlock

GT-I9305 does not have a locked bootloader by default, so there's no need to unlock it.

If it is from carrier there is only very small chance to ever get unlock.

It says
To install this ROM you will need to have an unlocked bootloader
You have unlocked bootloader you do not have a locked bootloader as this device does not have a locked bootloader for you to unlock.

The root method has been around for a while, and I am curious why there is still no custom roms developed for our note 3 yet.
A method to unlock the boot loader has yet to be developed ( but a bounty to get it unlocked is underway in other thread)
Having root access is not the same as having an unlocked boot loader

It is because we still cannot flash a recovery because our locked bootloader.

I see. Thanks for the replies. I thought the bootloader was unlocked. SO guess I will have to be patient.
