Hi,
I was wondering if you had to be rooted to install a custom rom on my phone. Thanks
Rooted no. S-off or unlocked by HTCdev yes.
Once your either one of the above, you need to flash a custom recovery, then you can install roms and root.
my phone was originally on vodafone but today i switched to 3 i was wondering if i flash the 3 ruu to my phone will it come with all the correct settings and 3 boot logo etc? Thanks
I've successfully unlocked bootloader and installed a custom recovery how can I root my device in order to flash a custom rom?

You don't need root for flashing custom ROM
You just need unlocked bootloader which you already have done.
For rooting you can place supersu.zip file in phone memory & install that zip from recovery option
Hello? I was recently s-off, unlocked and using Adrenaline sense 6 lollipop rom.
Yesterday, I went back to stock 4.4.4 using the ruu file. I still have the s-off and unlocked.
Now my questions are..
1. Can I install custom recovery first then root by using supersu.zip file?
2. Or do I need to root first by weaksauce or something then get custom recovery?
You can go straight to installing a custom recovery. From there you can either flash the su binaries to achieve pure stock rooted rom or you could flash any one of the custom roms available which are pre-rooted.
Ive heard that you cant install custom roms on a droid maxx simply because the bootloader is locked. But if my phone is rooted is it possible to install custom roms like CM if so how do I do it?
No you can't install custom Roms as it is necessary to unlock the bootloader prior installation of roms.
my device already installed V12.0.1.0.PEKMIXM_1920d51d84_9.0 firmware. bootloader unlocked.
everytime i installed a custom rom my device keep bootloop. But when i install stock miui rom via custom revovery it worked and boot into a homescreen.
i don't know what to do. i want to install a custom rom.

You should find a custom rom which is properly ported for your device. Otherwise won't work.
