I can't seem to find a straight answer to my question since most of the info for the S4 is 2 or 3 years old now.
So I have a completely stock ATT i337 running Android 5.0.1 with the I337UCUGOK2 bootloader. My soft keys aren't working, so I would like to install a different ROM to try to fix. I understand I need to install CWM or TWRP first. So my question is this... Is my bootloader locked and I need to root my phone first before I can install either recovery? If so, what method do I need to follow for my version of Android?
I understand that with time there are improvements. Some stuff I've read makes it sound like there is a lot of automation in installing custom recoveries, and maybe I don't need to root first because they root for me.
Thanks.
