I rooted my GN2 using the exynos abuse apk. Can I flash cwm using mobile odin and is it safe? Also since I didnt use odin to root, is there a way to unlock my bootloader without odin?

You have to unlock the bootloader before flashing a custom recovery. I did exactly what you are asking and got the yellow triangle warning. I had to install a stock image to clear it out.
Using the unlock method by Adam Outler TWRP recovery is installed.

Once you use Adams method in unlocking the bootloader you should still have your stock rooted rom. If you don't like twrp as you're recovery just download rom manager and you can flash cwmr from there.

My Atrix will not boot into Android Recovery mode. It says "Entering into Android Recovery..." then gives me the Android with the caution sign. I rooted my device, then used ROM manager about a week ago to flash CWM. I then unlocked the bootloader, which reset my phone's data. Before I unlocked the bootloader I had the same problem, and figured the bootloader wass the problem. ow that it's unlocked I still can't boot into it. I'm running 2.3.4 on the device, the stock model.

Flash CWM from rom manager again. That's what I had to do.

When I unlocked my bootloader it wiped everything, including Superuser. I'm assuming I have to reroot it to flash it successfully?

I say yes. You have to be rooted to use rom manager anyway..

Hi, i need help!!
Do i need unlocked bootloader to install CWM?
Try to install CWM via stock recovery, and it stops this image http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...0&postcount=65
can you tell what should i do?
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001655 everything you need is laid out for you. Two recoveries to choose from after FreeGee, CWM or TWRP.
Support the dev and buy, it makes everyone happy and it's a simple process. I'm going to trust that you're rooted already.

There is a guide stickied in general. This phone is locked, you can't just flash things out of the box.

Thx, of course i've read all manuals, but there is not saying that i need unlock to flash CWM. Thought there is the way to flash CWM without unlocking.
I initially got the TWRP after i unlocked but I cannot get back now that I have a rom to flash. also I can get to odin mode but i can't do anything from there. did I miss a step or??? if not how do I do this?
Download an app called quick reboot from the market. Allow root to accept and then reboot to recovery
Lemme know how it works out

Thank you that did work.
For future reference you can hold volume up+home button+power to get to recovery too.

GooManager can be handy as well.

rooted but no TWRP
Hello friends,
I am a noob and this is the first phone i have ever attempted to root. I followed the instructions to root explicitly and watched driodmodderx's video . My note 2 ended up rooting but it did not go into TWRP recovery menu, it went into the stock recovery. What did i do wrong and what can I do now to fix this. I really want to flash the jellybeans rom.
Thanks,
Cory

You must have only rooted. You must unlock the bootloader to install ROMs. Go here

GooManager also allows you to update TWRP and reboot into recovery.

Yes it does and very easy. But to the guy with stock recovery please re unlock boot loader before trying goo manager. It will put twrp on your phone but with a locked boot loader you will get the unauthorized software soft brick.

So, I updated to 4.3 using the newest method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504408
However,
I kept root and everything works fantastic and removed KNOX. But...
I cant seem to flash any custom recovery. I tried Unistalling-Re-Installing SafeStrap (No Avail) When I hit reboot recovery it reboots into ODIN Download mode! I have no idea why.
I tried using Goo Manager and flashing TWRP. It says successful but again, when I rebooted into recovery (even using the button press method,. I still am sent to the ODIN download mode. What did I do wrong?
I tried the Loki Method but it says aboot version different or something.
I dont want to do anything to lose root access can anyone tell me how they got a custom recovery on 4.3 ota?

First: Wrong Forum
Second: Having root doesn't mean you can have a custom recovery.
There is no custom recovery. Safestrap isn't compatible...... yet. And the bootloader is locked.

Only MDK will allow a custom recovery or an unlocked bootloader. Once you went to MJ7 with the OTA, these are both gone.
can someone move my post to appropriate forum?
the above 2 are correct. there is no recovery available for 4.3. all we have is the ability to keep root.
Share with us a screen shot of your phone.. When you boot into Odin does it say 0x0 or 0x1

Never use an ota update if root and recovery are important to you.
Safestrap has not been updated for 4.3

I am rooted and on stock 4.3. I am trying to flash cwm 6.0.4.3 via odin3 and am getting FAIL!. Any pointers? Is this due to the locked bootloader?

Yes.
Yeah your pretty much stuck. I think there is a root method that works, but you don't get a unlocked boot... So no custom recovery or ROM.
