So here is the situation. I have decided to return my Note to AT&T. Since I decided to flash an ICS leak after the flash counter reset was found, I just went ahead and flashed CWM then flashed a the Alpha2 ICS. This means my nandroid of my stock does not have root.
I am back on Stock ROM and Radio without root, but I still have CWM. Since I don't have root, I can't use the ADB method to replace stock recovery. Is there a CWM flashable of the stock recovery? Or do I have to flash the rooted stock, then use ADB to put stock recovery, then flash the unroot.tar?
Any help would be appreciated.
Phone has been returned
Decided since time spent flashing was better than sitting I just went ahead and flashed a rooted stock
No issues?

yesterday iwasaperson was extremely helpful to me. Thanks. I took my fascinate back to stock 2.1 and allowed it to update to 2.2. I then rooted my phone by flashing CWM recovery using ODIN. (red version) I had installed two files to root of drive one update.zip and the other for rooting the phone Su-----.zip. I ran them using the red version and restarted the phone. The phone is now rooted but I can't get back to CWM recovery.
I tried the following: I have ROM manager and flashed CWM but it wom't take. If I try to go into recovery I get the stock Samsung blue menu. I am thinking I need a different (CWM recovery comptabile) kernel or mod to get this to work.
Can someone help?
Reflash cwm, boot directly into recovery mode, and flash your custom kernel. The stock kernel tends to block access to cwm.

Had a quick question. I just rooted my Tab. Used Rom Manager from market to backup the original ROM. Going to flash with Task650 ROM and 1.4oc kernel. My question is if I want to restore the original ROM after I do this. Do I get the original Kernel back with the restore as well? Or do I need to back this up seperate?
Thanks!
This is what id did, I flashed clockwork recovery with odin, i went into recovery did a back up in clockwork recovery and not rom manager. Rom manager does not always give you a good back. Then i rooted the tab after that. So when i restore to stock, i restore the stock rom unrooted. And last you have to reflash stock recovery with odin. I have done this at least 3 times and it restores totally to stock.
Thank you!

I'm using a Rogers Infuse 4g. was running miui rom but then flashed a stock rom
how do i get into a cwm recovery??? when i try the 3 button salute to get into recovery i get sent into the original recovery
i want to flash cm9 but i can't seem to get into a red recovery
can someone help?
How did you flash the stock ROM? It may have completely reverted all software to stock, including the recovery. If that's the case (test if you have root), you'd just have to start over, as if it's a new phone.
You'll have to flash CWM recovery from fastboot.

So a while back I decided to start my phone fresh. remove root. full factory reset. of course the plan was to re root install a recovery and get back to flashing far too many roms. but ive hit a snag and I cant find my fix.
Starting off, to return to stock I odin flashed the official mdk firmware from back in the day. And then did a factory restore to completely remove everything.
Once done with that I odin flashed the md2 prelease firmware to get root with the motochopper method. updated su binaries and then flashed the mdk kernel back.
And all of that seemed to work fine. Apps requiring root seemed to work fine. But when it came time to flash cwm with rom manager the **** started. after flashing the latest cwm and rebooting into recovery I was greeted with the regular android recovery. So I tried flashing it from rom recovery. That seemed to work. But no roms will flash. Making and restoring a backup kind of worked. But cwn was mainly useless.
So I started over and over with the reverting to stock, factory reseting, and rerooting. ive tried the loki versions of cwm flashing with no luck and have just hit a highly frustrating wall. After near 12 hours trying to figure this out I'm asking for assistance. ive done this before. what the hell is the problem. Help me XDA people. You're my only hope.
Cwm from rom manager hasn't worked in awhile. Use philz touch if you really want cwm. Or use flashify to get twrp

Like Josh said just use Flashify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
It's still updated and works great. To many have had issues with ROM manager or Goo.

I was in the same boat all day yesterday - reset to stock using the MDK No wipe tar via Odin, factory restored, flashed MD2, motochopped, flashed MDK, but then could not get any new recoveries to take. Using Flashify I was just able to install CWM 6.0.4.7 (which I had tried doing using ROM Manager, and paid $1.99 for, which didn't work) - halle-frickin-luyah!

Thanks guys. I tried all of this with the flashify. Even started off freshly reinstalling stock Mdk and then rerooting with the same method I mentioned earlier. Installing cwm through flashify. And though I can make and restore a backup of my stock rooted Rom. I get the same errors I've been getting trying to flash a custom Rom. I'll try to post a screenshot of the error I get in can when flashing.
I'm using a MK2 Verizon Galaxy S4, which is rooted, with Eclipse ROM installed via Safestrap on the stock rom slot. Back when I first rooted my phone I made the stupid mistake of trying to install a custom recovery, which apparently borked my stock recovery. Thankfully with Safestrap I was still able to boot my phone and install Eclipse, which I've enjoyed using. Now I would like to Odin back to stock so that I might try using KitKat roms, but I'm worried that a full-wipe Odin might not replace my borked recovery, and would therefore completely brick my phone. Will Odin restore the stock recovery and reset everything to stock, or should I stay with what I have?

Odin will restore everything to stock, no worries. In fact, if you have a borked recovery, Odin is exactly what you should use to replace it.
Brilliant! Thanks for the swift and helpful reply.
