You can only install ROMS which allow BOOTLOADER LOCKED. I am not sure which they are but you can ask in specific rom threads for answers.

I have no knowledge on how to do any developing on any phone but saw this article and just wondering if it could help in unlocking our bootloader?

I'm no developer (well, at least not ROMs and such), but I don't think so.
Any chance that we will be able to root without unlocking the bootloader similar to how it was done for the Moto X in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444957 ?? I don't have much knowledge about it but maybe it could be possible?

Not yet. We need of an exploit like that.
If I knew anything about it I would do it but I have no clue what all would be involved in it. Hopefully someone will be able to get something similar soon!
Will we see a root for locked bootloader or is it impossible?

Personally I wouldn't count on it. But then, I am a pessimist when it comes to Sony rooting/modding etc.
It's not impossible but it will probably take a while for someone to find a way. There are some smart guys looking into it but who knows if/when they'll find anything.
A thread with a progress, attempts or ideas would be nice - IF some1 works on a solution. Maybe others could help.

Hi,
First of all i would like to apologize to everyone on this section since i am really not good with sony.
So i have a device which has a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked. As the title says i am looking for custom roms or rooted roms with bootloader locked. As much as possible i have searched the development thread but cant find any.
So can anyone give me a link or something of a recommended rom for locked bootloader?
Thanks

As far as i know, that i've observed here, Revolution HD is the most popular (the one made by yash989)
Being stuck to locked bootloader sucks, my friend's SP is locked by carrier. i understand the feeling :/

Yeah. It really2 sucks. I dont know why they do this.
Anyway will keep on reading about it and hopefully get an easier way to install. Thanks by the way.
Any other recommendations?

Can't access the links as it's not letting me copy them on my phone on the xda app. What android version are you on?

Android version: 7.0

Right okay cool thanks for that. I have bad news for you, because your phone has a locked bootloader it cannot be rooted at this point until an exploit is found. I even had a look over in the At&T s6 forums and there's not much going on. Sorry mate.

That sucks but thanks for the straightforward answer. But there's really 0 options for me at this point? Not even downgrading or flashing? (Just some terms I've picked up, don't exactly know what those mean)

Unfortunately not, downgrading is when going from one version to the previous, due to how samsung setup their bootloader, trying to say go from nougat to Marshmallow is not possible so you will always remain on nougat. Flashing is commonly done via a recovery and a piece of software called odin, every phone has a recovery but most root things need you to have a custom recovery like twrp this can only be achieved via having root, odin is used to flash stock Samsung firmwares. Hope that helps a bit. For the time being my advice to you is to keep looking at the s6 at&t forums from time to time, at some point they may come out with a root exploit that works.
