What is the point of rooting if its an unlocked bootloader?

One more question, are custom recoveries carrier and phone specific?

Yes they are. The two most popular recoveries are TWRP and CWM are easily installable. If you want TWRP, download the app GooManager and if you want CWM, download the app ROM Manager.

TWRP is your best bet these days. Some folks have had great success with Goo Manager, but I don't bother with it myself. IMO, it's just as easy to download your Rom straight to your ext SD card and then flash it through TWRP.
