I have a G960u1 and it comes with a locked boot-loader, is there any way to unlock it by flashing a stock rom? If that isn't possible what other methods could i use to either root or unlock my boot-loader?

1) Firmware is the Android system itself, so bootloader will be unlocked.
2) I don't know Sony Xperia U, but in HTC devices there is a text label "Locked" or "Unlocked" in newer bootloaders.
3) You have to unlock the bootloader only once. Flashing roms doesn't affect the bootloader itself.
I have a rooted HTC One with a locked bootloader that I would like to unroot back to stock. I had TWRP as a custom recovery before I relocked the bootloader, but cannot use that now because of my locked bootloader. If I unlock the bootloader again, would I have any form of recovery or a ROM?
