You don't unlock the bootloader on Samsung devices.
You flash a custom recovery via Odin and then use the recovery to flash the root package.
There are already plenty of guides around if you take a look.

*facepalm* Revert back to Android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 version,then root your phone (but you'll stay in Gingerbread firmware since ICS can't be root directly)
If you still wanna have root in ICS,check carefully in your phone forum section

Locked bootloader (unlock allowed yes) - You can't flash custom kernel or custom Rom that aren't base of stock Rom,but you can unlock it
Locked bootloader (unlock allowed no) - Same as above,but you can't unlock it for other reason (eg.contract phone by at&t,so they lock it permanently)
Unlocked bootloader (unlock allowed yes) - You can flash custom kernel and custom Rom that are not base on stock Rom (yay!),but you lost DRM key and can't use some application like TrackID...unlocked using Official Sony website
Unlock bootloader (unlocked allowed no) - Same as above,but it's not actually 'unlocked',but it's a patched version of bootloader which it still have DRM,but still can be flash custom kernel or Rom...unlocked using TestPoint usually

So I have to unlock boot loader to root my phone?
Or I can flash custom ROM only by unlocking boot loader or root is needed?

No no no,you doesn't have to unlock bootloader to root,and you can ACTUALLY flash custom Rom on your phone with a locked bootloader that are BASED ON STOCK ROM....but I would recommended to unlock bootloader as custom Rom wil usually ask for a custom kernel...

Why would anyone have any use for it over here? It doesn't do anything we can't already do.
Plus, Safestrap is extremely device-specific.
Really I'm not sure if I. Want to unlock bootloader as of yet. And coming from the og photon with locked boot loader I have no experience with any other recovery method.
Could i unlock after rooting by the exploit method.

Unlocking helps you to root, so you cant unlock AFTER rooting. You also need to be rooted to flash custom recoveries

Ohh well in that case, no, just unlock the bootloader directly
My mistake, its just that the only root methods for the Photon that I've seen so far unlock your bootloader at the same time
So just ignore what I said and unlock directly

Your two options are to use Odin and flash a recovery or use casual. If you have not used Odin before then casual it's more fool proof. If you want to stay true to Samsung root then do the Odin.

OK cool I can do that my boot loader needs to be unlocked to flash CWM through Odin otherwise it will brick my device I used official phone rebels rooting method last time I rooted not sure it would work this time since I'm not on the other boot loader anymore

ive been looking around for information about updating the bootloader in my S3....its unlocked but it doesn't seem to want to flash the latest roms and from what ive been reading it seems the bootloader is the issue
any help would be appreciated
Um you can't update the bootloader on the S3. Maybe you meant recovery? Certain recoveries in the past had issues flashing stuff. Go grab GooManager and update TWRP using that app. Maybe that will fix your issue.

You can update the bootloader, can you link the thread that suggests that? Usually it isn't needed to run custom roms.
