If you already rooted the phone then you can install ROM Manager which can be used to flash the latest CWM recovery image.

you are providing wrong information,
ROM manager does not work with some kernels and could potentially result in a software malfunction,
@op and everyone else having the same question:
please just read the original instructions from the kernel developer to ensure success of the installation

Ok I am full rooted thanks to un-revoked.
I have downloaded the new update on my phone but havent installed yet, Battery was to low so gave me a notification in status bar to update later.
I understand i have to flash to the Amon ra recovery.
all i want is the stock rom, with the ability to use wireless tether and adfree, so obviously i need superuser permission.
Will i have to flash to a stock rooted rom?? or will i just be able to install these and be good to go?? is there even a stock rooted rom out yet??
Thanks for any and help. love the site dont post much cause normally i can figure things out, but wanna double check on this one.
Here you go.

Make back up and perform full wipes.
You must install the rooted Rom for precautionary reasons.
so should i even update my phone then?? or should i just flash right to one of these?? seems like it would be easier just flashing right too those since i currently have clockwork installed.

Simple answer is NO YOU SHOULD NOT DO THE OTA... The rom is out there already (rooted versions)

No difference really. Just flash the odexed version and that is all. No kernel needed.
I'm not familiar with cwmod so I can't guide you through the flash but also you need to have an updated version.

I have an overseas rom for i9505 that I really want to use on my I337 (AT&T). However it does not come with any custom rom beside those 1.7GB .md5 stock roms. I have tried using CASUAL Root and Recovery to install TWRP, but I got stuck at how I should install the rom that I have. From my experience I should have a flashable zip on my hand. I then look at Kitchen and Loki but I am totally confused about it. Can anyone point me to the right direction about how what to do with the i9505 rom that I wish to install? Thanks.

Follow the instructions in this link. If it seems to foreign to you, stop and don;t attempt to flash anything until you have a clear understanding. Several people in this forum have put together threads intended to help.

I know that thread. It seems like the prerequisite is to have a custom rom. In my case I don't have a custom rom that's why I got stuck here...

There is no prerequisite to have a custom rom already installed. You need to be rooted with a custom recovery. You flash the rom in recovery. Twrp and cwm are recoveries.

No I am not talking about a "custom rom already installed". What I mean is, the rom needs to be CWM flashable, which is a ZIP file containing Meta-INF, which is also a "custom rom". However, the only file I have access is MD5 file which is an ODIN file. I think I can't flash the ODIN file in TWRP, right?
no locked bootloader will check security of the md5, however ...in your case you can get a linux and un tar the md5... make a flashable..patch with loki..and flash

I have installed Ubuntu (does it work??) through VM...Move the files (I9505ZHUAME3 and Loki_mater) to Ubuntu, then I am lost...Any very detailed tutorial anywhere?
When I install any custom ROM, my phone will boot normally and I will then be able to go through the setup. However, when I shutdown the phone, it will not reboot and I will be stuck on the Samsung logo. Then I have to reinstall the ROM.
Please Help and Thank you.

Also, after flashing a custom ROM and getting stuck in the bootlogo, sometimes you need to flash the loki-fix (search for it) to fix this. Then the ROM works.
If ever in an inescapable bootloop and there's no custom recovery, then you'll need to download your stock firmware and stock kernel and use Odin to flash the firmware first (in download mode), then the kernel second (also in download mode, after a reboot), and then once you're up and running you can use Motochopper to root the phone and then another tool to flash recovery (e.g. Canadiani337m_3way_tool).
Happened again

Hey again! After I reflashed the Kernel Fix for my model. It seemed to be good, however it started doing it again! and it happens with every rom. Im sure I have the right kernel fix...
I have a similar issue, with any custom rom I can't load into the phone the first time, set up my phone etc. But if I reboot I'm stuck at the samsung logo. I've tried this most recently with cyangenmod 10.2, ikop, and kangabean and had the same issue. This is my first android phone and my first time trying this so I wasn't sure if I was doing everything correctly. When I followed the instructions for CM, it didn't say that I needed to reflash the kernal. Is there a specific kernal or can I use the stock? Also should I flash the kernal after I've installed rom and gapps?
I suppose if that doesn't work that I'll try the loki-fix.
So, i was in a hurry and i downloaded the wrong kernel. I wanted to download the linaro franco kernel for android 4.4, but instead i downloaded this one "franco.Kernel-nightly-r14-linaro.zip". this is an old version.
So now, my device does not boot and i cant install the correct kernel file.
What should I do?
Use a toolkit like wug and install through it the stock or any custom kernel you want.
Unleashed by my Nexus 4
But...
But, there is a way to only replace the kernel or i have to re-install the ROM?
Re-install only the kernel may affected something?
Thanks a lot.
