Please help me Unblock bootloader for Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70 International

Hi Guys,
I don't know if this is the right section to post this question, I'm new in the forum.
I just kept my ex boyfriend tablet and now I'm experimenting with it, but I have a few questions:
If I want to use Odin to flash a custom kernel , let's say rj's Kernel, do I need to have the bootloader unlocked ?
How do I unlock the boot loader for Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 International version ?
Could you please help me Unlock the bootloader ? Could you please explain if I need the bootloader unlocked to install a custom kernel with ODIN ?
Do I need the bootloader unlocked to install a recovery and then do a Nandroid backup and then install a custom kernel ?
Device:
Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 - YP-G70 International version.

To flash a ROM or recovery and do a NAndroid backup you need an unlocked bootloader.
To unlock your bootloader, use this Windows program: http://www.mediafire.com/?f3gi19g1zz3frg3
I hope this helps you, but don't forget, with unlocking your bootloader, all your data will be erased!

well with this device im not sure if you need to unlock the bootloader. some need the bootloader unlocked some don't. i would ask in the official forums for the Player http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-player you need to tell them its international as well.

Thanks Guys, it has been really helpful.
Could you please let me know the name of the program I have to use to unlock the bootloader for this device?
I've been reading like crazy and I understood when I unlock all data will be lost, but that's not a problem at all.
Then I would like to flash rj's kernel which comes with Clockworkmod and then from there I would be interested in doing some Nandroid backups and installing cyanogenmod.
In fact I would like to be able to do a backup even before installing a custom kernel so I can preserve the original kernel and android, I installed an application called something like nandroid backup and I managed to do a backup compatible with clockworkmod but the thing is that it skipped the boot and recovery folders, so it makes me think the bootloader is locked.
Please any comments are very welcome.
If there is anyone here from Ft. Lauderdale we could even meet in a mall and do the thing together with the laptop.
Thanks again for all your help honeys

[Q] How to access Lenovo S890

I have a Lenovo S890 and I managed to flash a custom firmware but it resulted in a bootloop, I managed to install the stock rom but now I am looking forward to know how to access the bootloader in order to unlock it coz I recently seen in an article that to flash a custom rom successfully you needed to have an unlocked bootloader. How can I access the bootloader?

(Q) Install Xposed with no custom recovery?

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to successfully install xposed on Moto Gs without having a custom recovery installed. I'm asking for this because I don't want to mess too much with my phone and to keep it as clean as possible.
Thank you
Moto G XT1032
Rooted
5.1 Brazil
Bootloader unlocked

As far as I know there's no possibility to install xposed for Lollipop without custom recovery. But I don't understand why you don't want to flash a recovery when you have already "messed" your device with unlocked bootloader and root! It is just one step forward.
Sent from my XT1039 using XDA Free mobile app

Well the bootloader can be locked again and the root can be removed as well. Maybe custom recovery too?
Alternatively, can the custom recovery be flashed temporary to then flash xposed?

But even if you lock it again motorola already knows it and when you lock it again it will show a different code from the original locked one

You can temporarily boot into a custom recovery and install xposed.
Just type fastboot boot <thenameoftherecovery>

Confusion about rooting XT1039 on 5.1

Hello all, my problem is that I've unlocked the bootloader and tried CF Auto Root but it just hangs - I've since read it isn't compatible with 5.1.
So how do I root the phone now? Do I actually need a custom recovery, or can I just root it? In the past I've flashed a file from the sdcard and the phone was instantly rooted, so have no experience with recoveries.
Some of the guides I've found are a couple of years old so may be outdated, and there's so many different ways I've been going round in circles.
I have Motorola Device Manager and Minimal ADB + Fastboot installed on a Windows 10 PC, 5.1 version is 23.26.3 peregrine.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Find a compatible recovery for your phone , flash the recovery via adb and then flash SuperSU zip through it .

Thankyou, is there a recommended custom recovery for the xt1039 (Is cwm or twrp better?)?
Is the correct version for xt1039 twrp-3.0.2-0-peregrine.img? Found here: twrp(dot)me/devices/motorolamotog2013lte(dot)html And follow the 'Fastboot Install Method (No Root Required)' instructions?
Will this still work if I'm on 5.1, or does it not matter what version I'm on?
Thankyou for any help, as I said I haven't installed custom recovery before so am a bit unsure.
