I read somewhere that TWRP allows you to flash custom kernels on a locked bootloader . So I'm wondering if it's possible to flash CM or a custom kernel on a LG MS769 with a locked bootloader without possibly bricking the phone???

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.
HELLO i was just wondering if i could flash custom roms with a locked bootloader i have root and TWRP installed but my bootloader is locked my phone is an xperia z3 if that matters at all
If you succedded in rooting and flaahing recovery on locked bootloader then ofcouse your device can be flaahed with custom rom with locked bootloader

I am on stock ROM (w/o root)
Instead of rooting the stock ROM, can I just flash the TWRP and then install a pre-rooted custom ROM?
Or
First I need to root the stock ROM and then install custom ROM?
