Hello, is possible install custom recovery and custom rom whitout unlock bootloader and whit root access? Thanks
No.
Did you take the latest OTA SU4TL-49 and now you can't unlock the bootloader?
IF not and you are still on earlier firmware, then just unlock bootloader with Sunshine.

No, your Bootloader stays unlocked
Choose the method you prefer
Thanks you helped me.
Here's a question that I'm a little embarrassed to ask, but I guess I have nothing to lose. The other day, I installed Cyanogenmod on an old Droid Bionic. I installed Safestrap and installed Cyanogenmod in one of the ROM slots. My question is - did I not actually unlock my bootloader in this process? Based on what I've read and how Safestrap works, this method is intended for devices with a locked bootloader.
No, Safestrap is not a way to unlock the bootloader. It only tricks the phone into allowing the custom rom.

Thanks! So, here's a follow up question. I installed Safestrap on my Verizon Galaxy SIII and was told I could only install certain custom ROMs (basically, only TW-based ROMs) because the bootloader was still locked. Why was I able to install Cyanogenmod on the Bionic if I didn't actually unlock the bootloader?

Safestrap is not the same on all devices, Motorola bootloaders are not the same as Samsung
