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!

I want to get the 4.4 update on my new Moto G. But also i want to avoid unlocking the bootloader. I read somewhere that the system will let you flash a signed image without unlocking the bootloader, but i want to be sure, so i don't end with a soft bricked phone and have to unlock it anyways.
Can you help me?
EDIT: You can! Just flash the upgrade via fastboot and your phone will have the last iteration of Android witthot unlocking anything.

you don't have to unlock it if you are updating it through the update option inside the phone itself.

I know, but the phone comes with a carrier firmware that will take some time to roll the update, and I want to replace it.

then the answer is no, in order to load any custom rom you have to unlock your bootloader.

I think you should refer to this video - http://youtu.be/-L44JqysUy8
It shows how to flash a rom without unlocking the bootloader. There are retail ROMS available from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14

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.
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/development/d2303-clockworkmod-6-0-4-6-t3011821

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.
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.
Hey there!
Is there any possibility to get a degoogled custom ROM on that phone?
I just don't really understand the point of the thread about installing LOS in the thread below

is here nobody with a custom ROM and that phone??

You can install the OTA update from here. Just follow the instructions Google provided at the top of the page and you should be all updated. It's only the full images that require the bootloader to be unlocked.
Just go look up factory images for Pixel phones. You can install firmware right from the web browser. You don't need to have root. Root is optional.
Do you mean without an unlocked bootloader? Root is not the same thing and does not determine how you can flash firmware.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can use the Android Flash Tool. If your bootloader is not unlocked, downgrading is impossible.

This only works if OEM Unlocking is enabled in Developer Options.

@Albi Lukaj, Please be aware that unlocking your bootloader WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE AND RETURN IT TO STOCK!!!
If that is not preferable, you might try applying the OTA like stated in Post #2, but I am not sure if it works downgrading a version (it probably doesn't)...
