Post and let me know!!!
How to install with Odin
(USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
Click the PDA button, and select cwm-grand2.tar
Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
(USB) Connect the phone to your computer
Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
Click the Start button
Wait for Android to boot
Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you goofed)
NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.

The recovery doesn't boot.. It gets redirected to download mode.
Probably because of secured bootloader..
Safestrap might work!!..

Just was informed that this device appears to be locked down with knox. Knox is Samsungs latest locking method. Some devices with knox dont restrict booting modded boot images (boot/recovery) and some are locked down tighter than grannies panties. The Grand 2 seems to be locked down.

Thanks
Thanks for your efforts..
hope some day we could break Knox security layer :good:

There is no knox security in system and in bootloader like in note2 , S4 and S5 devices .Those devices has knox trip indicator in download mode luckily our device don't has that indicator .Also our device root is supported by @Chainfire .It's just the qualcomm secure boot that restrict any custom recovery and kernel to work in our device .The safestrap recovery can work only if some recognised dev can help us out .
