Is there a chance we could make a safestrap so we could flash ROMs with locked bootloaders ?

I rooted my phone and unlocked bootloader back on 4.1. I have 4.3 ota rooted. When I start my phone up it says Samsung unlock, does that mean my bootloader is unlocked and I can install 4.4?

No, it does not mean your bootloader is unlocked. And no, you cannot install any 4.4 ROMs. You can only flash 4.3 TW ROMs through safestrap.

what about updating the kernel TouchWiz? Can I put any kernel on that is touchwiz?
Do you recommend a 4.3 that I should flash?
thanks for your help

No, you cannot change or flash any kernels. You have to stick with the stock kernel. A list of safestrap compatible ROMs and other good information is posted in this thread:

No. No bootloader unlock 4.3+ as of yet. That fact is literally all over the VZW SIII forums.
Sent from my Unlocked SCH-I535 running AOKP
i want to know if the guides for KK or JB work for unlocking bootloader, flashing custom recovires and stuff will also work with LP 5.0.2?
I don't believe that unlocking the bootloader depends on the ROM version. All you need to do is check to see if your bootloader is eligible for unlocking from the Motorola website.
Procedures for flashing a custom recovery is the same for all ROMs.

You can use anything for a locked bootloader on an unlocked bootlader
I really want to flash a recovery (clockwork mod) through Flashify however many tutorials say that the Bootloader of any phone must be unlocked in order to flash recoveries through Flashify. I would like to know if the Bootloader is already unlocked or if it is possible? Thanks.
Also it is running Android version 5.0.1 Lollipop
