NO lol, have you even read the title of the thread 'for unlocked bootloader only' and you can only flash custom kernels if your bootloader is allowed to be unlocked.

You are forced to take responsibility for your own misstakes. In this case buying a phone which bootloader is unlockable. Nobody held a gun to your head and forced you to, YOU chose it without thinking about it.
And asking ppl to "shut up" while they are agreeing with you and trying to show compasion is....as dumb as it gets.

I think C n T works on locked bootloader idk (correct me if I'm wrong)
And Redzo's right, your mistake mate.. should've researched about it. Hopefully you might get lucky if someone manages to fix that bug in cwm on locked bootloaders.

1st.- no one knows if the bootloader is unlockable or not till you look at it, and you CANT get hands on the phone before you buy it (i mean the one you are getting, not the shown) so please you are free to feel like a stupid talknig about things that you actually dont know...
2nd.- dont you see the real meaning of that "shut up"? oh god... i think that u r the dumb that cant see beyond your nose...
is there something on the air or what? so many silly answers for god sake....

You got a point there. I mean what if you bought it online? there's NO way you can access the phone to see if it's bootloader allowed to be unlocked and not only that but I don't think anyone can remember that code to access the system menu or whatever it's called. @Redzo and @ Elnazhox you're both right. @elnazhox you should've researched a bit more, and @ Redzo it's not possible to access the system menu or whatever when you're buying it online.
So i accidentally pressed power and volume button at the same time And now i am looking at a screen with android with its stomach open and at the top says START.how to get out of this?i accidentally pressed them-.-help.

You're in fastboot. Just press the power button to reboot the phone or use the volume buttons to select a different option.

You do know some people don't give a crap about unlocking/rooting a phone? I've actually relocked and gone back to 100% stock as I have no need to be unlocked any more

Yep, and that's fine but there could be a day when something goes wrong where that bootloader could come in handy. Always good to know your phone, especially if you're in a development forum.

But it did gave me a mini heart attack.I was like "waaatttt" and as for rooting:its really hard for beginners!.n5 is my first android,previous phone was iPhone 5.Jailbreaking the iPhone was so easy compared to all technical stuff that comes with rooting. Anyway my friend is rooting my n5 for me yesterday.i will watch him to do it(this sounded wrong)
Dev will always be in minority,its obvious.and as for xda developers the name does suggest it for developers and wires and 2+2=5 stuff and whatnot.but yeah the site is filled noobs and newbies.but those devs rocks!

Well maybe those people would find a forum like Android Central better suited to their needs. As previously stated, XDA is a development forum, not a general Android support forum. If they aren't planning on rooting, then XDA really isn't for them.

I'm perfectly capable of searching, I didn't get to RC status by being a n00b. The point is that you're making a positive assertion, and those usually need to be accompanied by some kind of evidence, otherwise your claim carries no weight.

Look for gizchina method to change color os rom to cm11s, its very easy and noob proof method, just google for it. And no, you dont have to unlock bootloader if you dont want or dont know how to do.

Actually you can flash custom roms with locked bootloader just using fastboot boot command then when you are in the recovery you can flash what you want, roms,mods,supersu,etc.

Even if he doesn't have a OnePlus One, it's still fairly straight forward, but you should still take the help as they should 'hopefully' know what should be happening.
From my experience, I would highly recommend NOT rooting on windows xp as you'll have driver issues. Windows 7/8 is fine; I have no experience with a Mac.
True, but I have W7 running and Seb installed the drivers fine.

IF you have to have someone else root your phone then what do you plan on doing if whatever you do with it afterwards gets messed up. May I suggest you try and figure it out as it will only lead you down a darker path if something goes wrong and you dont know what to do....

I have to agree here. Having someone else unlock/root your device is an awful idea. The whole unlocking process is an essential learning experience, if you skip that you're heading into dangerous waters. If/when something goes wrong you'll have no idea what to do, and the first thing you'll do then is create an unnecessary thread begging for someone to fix your phone. OP, do yourself a huge favour and start reading, then do some more reading, and then more reading, see where I'm going here?

You didn't read a thing I said before did you. I'm not going to unlock your device for you. I don't want or need your money. Getting someone else to unlock your device for you is a very bad idea for the reasons I outlined in my previous post.
This phone is very easy to unlock, all you need to do is follow some simple instructions. You'll find them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632
If you don't want to learn how to do this then you really shouldn't be modifying your device in the first place. Having a modified device requires a certain level of knowledge so that you don't brick your phone, if you don't want to spend the time learning then you're best off just leaving the phone stock.

These are tips for all those who don't know it and who are new to the android world.
Before downgrading or flashing anything, do these things -
1) ENABLE USB DEBUGGING OPTION
2) ENABLE OEM UNLOCK OPTION
3) SEARCH THE FORUM THOROUGHLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY FLASHING
4) READ THE ORIGINAL POST BEFORE POSTING YOUR QUESTIONS DIRECTLY IN THE THREAD
THANK YOU ALL.
If anyone has more tips, I will add them.

Totally agree, never start to do things without reading thoroughly first. Especially if it is your first Android phone. It's a bit easier if you already had Android phone before as many things are similar when comes the time to install custom recovery and flash new roms. I once hard-bricked a ****ty Samsung Galaxy Ace. It wasn't a big loss since it was just an old slow ugly Gingerbread phone but I was extra careful when I started modding the Moto X Play since it's a good middle range phone.
