I did once on a nexus 5. It was a pain in the ass, but it can be done. What phones are easier to get root access (is that the proper term? Idk. I think in Canada they can’t be carrier locked.)

Carrier locked != Locked bootloader

One keeps you tied to a single carrier, the other allows you to access the bootloader to load custom ROMs
