Does installing custom ROM require root?
You generally don’t need to root the phone to install the custom ROM, you have to root the phone to install a mechanism to install the custom ROM (such as a custom recovery image). Some phones have unlockable bootloaders – you can flash boot and system.img files via the bootloader without the need to root.
