How would I go about to changing my custom recovery?
I'm currently on TWRP and I want to change to CWM.
Would I have to odin back to stock or can I just download clockworkmod and flash it?
Firmware: MDL
Custom ROM: CM10.1 RC2
Custom Recovery: TWRP 2.5.0.2

Wouldn't just downloading ROM Manager be the best method if you're out and about?

Yes, but Odin is made by Samsung. Rom Manager is not.
Personal preference.

That's the easiest and you shouldn't have any problems doing that. You can flash one recovery over the other
Okay. Thanks a lot you guys!

you should be all set as long as you are flashing the identical build number. you will likely have to boot into recovery mode and wipe cache though.

You can change to TWRP just by flashing the .tar.md5 file in Odin like you would CWM. I would recommend Philz Recovery though, seems to work best.

I'm new to andriod so I wanna ask if somebody can tell me is Odin usable after installing cwm recovery? And is there any method of making a backup of the stock recovery on SM-N900 (Exonus version of Galaxy Note 3).

Yeah you can use odin, you can do a backup with Cwm or nandroid backup most use nandroid
I meant using Odin to restore to back to Samsung's stock rom even if I've installed cwm/twrp recovery!

Thank you sir, this took a lot of pressure off my head!:good:
Can you kindly suggest an awesome rom for SM-N900, now that I have gained the confidence for flashing?:angel:
Sorry if this is a simple question; What I want to know is, do I have to use some recovery mod and flash from the SD card, or can I simply flash custom ROMs from odin 3.09, the same as I did for my stock rom?
Specifically Imperium ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706844&nocache=1
Many thanks.

You always need a custom recovery to flash roms from either your internal or external sd card
I'd suggest philz recovery just flash the .tar file from here in odin then enter recovery & flash away
Not sure if you have rooted your phone as yet if not follow this link first
Okay, I never used a custom recovery when flashing the stock rom.?

No bud you can't :crying:
You aren't flashing a stock rom it's a custom rom hence the custom recovery ?
Darn, and I thought it was all so easy!
Okay, I need to start looking how to put a custom recovery on then.
I have rooted it using Odin already yeah

Yeah just flash it in pda then flash rom from philz recovery then it's done just setup required
You won't need odin again unless you want to return to stock (which I doubt).
P.s you should like the imperium rom you've been lookin at

Thanks, its between that one and Purified with Domination theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454205). Not sure which to go for yet, it'll be down to style/reliability/stability/speed.
What I meant was, I can't flash the recovery in odin, then flash the new rom in odin too?

No just flash recovery in odin & then just use recovery (power/volume up) to flash rom. No need for odin again

So there is no way to do this, I remember when these phones were first released you could so something like this.
Do you have custom recovery installed?

Here's what I did:
1: DL cf root file that match your phone
2: DL Odin
3: Boot into download mode, connect phone to PC and flash cf root file
4.Download twrp app and let the app install twrp recovery
5. Boot into recovery backup your ROM
6. Download custom ROM on SD card and flash within twrp
Otherwise you're stuck with DL Odin flashable ROM on your pc and flashing with Odin all the time
