if i put a custom recovery on my S4 and dont like it. can i restore through odin and that will remove loki? or am i then considered stuck with an unlocked bootloader that voids the warranty?
We don't have a downloader unlock so Odin will take you to stock.

Will i still receive OTA updates from my orange UK?

Yes, but it will not install.
Also, wrong section. Questions go into the Q&A section.

Not thinking I flashed twrp recovery before unlocking bootloader and now have the "system software not authorized" warning.
I am downloading the stock image, do I just flash that with odin?
I have been a Motorola guy for years.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I just switch to Verizon and grabbed note 2 for my first phone. On ATT all I had to do was run a program where it will unlock root and install cw all at once. Now I heard that for Verizon you have to do these individually, so I was wondering if someone can give me instruction on what to do step by step so I can use custom rom, kernel and etc. Thank you and I will really appreciate any kind of help!

You'll need to root your phone to be able to flash custom ROMs via Recovery, you can also install kernel such as Perseus or Siyah which allows you to overclock

The latest version of TWRP and CWM are lokified, which let you flash custom roms.

It really doesnt matter at this point. since loki-fied recoveries patch rom kernels to bypass the bootloader it is now a none issue.
