Hi.
*****************************************
PLEASE BE KIND!
I work on a cruise ship and Internet access is very expensive and very slow. I don't have the luxury of anytime browsing; I pay for every byte!

It may be that all my questions have been answered in another post. If so, I'd be grateful if you would please post a link.
THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING!
*****************************************
I'm familiar with rooting my old HTC, but my S6 Edge (925F) is still stock. I want to install this ROM, but I have a few questions. I'd be grateful if any of you clever forum folk would put me straight regarding the following:

I updated to 5.1.1 using the OTA update. I've read that this locks the bootloader (or something hideous like that) and makes rooting a problem. Will I still be able to flash this ROM? (my phone is baseband G925FXXU2B0GE/kernel 3.10.61-5012324/firmware LMY47X.G925FXXUB0GB)

This ROM is pre-rooted, which is a new term to me. Does it mean I can flash this ROM without having to root my phone? Does it somehow install root permission as part of the flashing process? Will I still need to unlock the phone?

Can I flash this ROM by just loading the zip via recovery? Is this available on the recommended Philz Recovery?

Thanks very much in advance for any help you can offer.
