Is anybody going to or has anybody ported this ? ive seen on other websites its only available for the exynos versions
Not going to happen until we get an unlocked bootloader, unfortunately.
You're not going to see a full "custom" ROM until we get a bootloader unlock. Yes, there are stock, debloated ROM's with some tweaks already out there, but a full customizable ROM and kernel won't happen until we get an unlock.

Why not? Can't you flash ROMs using FlashFire?

Again, locked bootloader ... So no custom recovery , no custom ROMs, no custom kernels.

Not true at all. You can flash ROMs with FlashFire even if bootloader is locked.

You can flash modified stock ROMs but that's it.
Nope we can flash stock roms bc it has a,secure-flash locked bootloader, which is similar to Verizon’s lock on previous Samsung devices. Also it has dm-verity is enabled in the kernel which means we can't modify the kernel or any partitions.
Can we flash an international rom would that work

No, because the international is an Exynos processor. While we are under the boot of qualcomm and US carriers having ours setup the way it is.

What would an official bootloader unlocking tool offer us if we already have the ability to flash custom ROMs onto the device?
we could flash custom kernels, which would make overclocking possible, or maybe other functionalities...

You can use nvlash. This gives more possibilities to unbrick.
And you can install roms without being root. Without root (and cwm) you cannot install custom rom.

this probably will not be the case actually, I forsee that they will just give fastboot access
Guys is there any recoveries for D2303 Locked bootloader and if not could someone make one ??
bad news, recoveries are in boot.img (kernel). while u have locked bootloader, u cant use unofficial kernels. so, when u want custom recovery, u must unlock bootloader for custom kernels.

My question is if I have the Locked Bootloader with Root permissions and CWM, might I flash any ROM in development. Like CyanogenMod 12, OmniROM 4.4.4/5.0.2? Or is extremely necessary unlock the bootloader?
Regards!
PD: I know the requirements states that "LOCKED BOOTLOADER" is necessary. But, now, will it be necessary as well?
Hmm probabily need unlock bootloader for CM.

some roms require custom, non official kernel. as i see in post above, locked bootloader checks kernel, if its official, not entire boot.img. so u cant flash roms based on unofficial/custom kernels (which requires UB). but u can still flash other parts of rom, like UI, system apps, mods and so on.

Hi
Well is a good question , Chainfire said:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433
FlashFire is the most advanced on-device firmware flasher available for rooted Android devices. It can flash full firmware packages from various manufacturers, as well as apply over-the-air (OTA) and ZIP updates - all while maintaining root, and without using a custom recovery.
So in theory you can, but he also said:

Unlocked bootloader
While an unlocked bootloader is not strictly necessary for many of FlashFire's functionalities, we strongly recommend all root users to run unlocked if possible. With locked bootloaders, there is a much higher chance of a device being unrecoverable if something goes wrong. This is not just true for FlashFire, but for many root apps. The specifics are device dependent.
nevertheless , here in this thread they seem to have used and work

(Hint: Bootloader)
Snapdragon bootloader is locked, which prevents you editing the boot image. You can't have ROM's without editing the boot image.

There's no known way to unlock it, there is an R&D thread in the Snapdragon subsection and nothing so far has worked.

now I undertand that, the Chinese variant's BL can be unlocked. Mine is the Chinese variant, and there are many roms based on samsung offical rom, but no rom which based on AOSP, no developer want to do that, what a pity!
So, i have s7 G930F which has bootloader version 4. I'm thinking about flashing some custom roms, but i'm not sure if i should flash older bootloader and modem via twrp.. Is this safe via twrp? Will i brick my device? I'll surely brick it if i flash older bootloader via odin, but what happens with twrp? Thanks in advance.

It is very difficult to downgrade the bootloader and methods which worked in the past have been patched. If you don't know what you're doing leave it alone.
And to answer your question no, you can't just flash an old bl in TWRP and expect a rom to just "work". Your better off installing a custom rom with the version of android you want. Then you don't have to mess about with bootloaders.
