Can I upgrade WM5 to WM6 without unlocking my 8125?
Someone told me I can, but I can't find any info.

If you have a G3 device then yes, you do not have to CID or SIM unlock your phone. If you have a G4 device, then you have to either use the SoftSPL or HardSPL methods of CID "unlocking" to get a 6 or 6.1 ROM on your phone.

Are there any NBD v9.2 screenshots?

ashasaur is not correct.
To allow flashing ROMs of non-original brand, you MUST unlock(or simulate unlock) your wizard, otherwise flashing non-original brand ROMs throuth RUU will fail.

For G3, you need to CID-unlock it (or to install HardSPL)
For G4, you need to install HardSPL (Note G3 HardSPL is different with G4 HardSPL, don't get the wrong version)

There exists a tool called ShellTool to flash a ROM without unlocking, however that tool is proved unstable and easy to get the ROM uploaded incompletely, so don't ever use that method.
