My phone is rooted, but still running stock recovery, at this time, I'm not over keen to flash a custom recovery and trip Knox (my phone is not even a month old yet).
Is there an app that can be used to flash zips that would normally be flashed in a custom recovery?

Hey guys. I rooted perfectly with towel root and I'm ready for a custom ROM, but my question is can I go right to download mode and flash twrp or cwm from Odin or am I gonna have to reflash the stock rom, then flash cf autoroot and then a custom recovery ?

No, the recovery partition is independent. So you can simply use Odin from download mode to flash TWRP or whatever. You won't have to root again.
A custom recovery will increment Knox though if that matters to you i.e. some carriers and Samsung depots in North America may not honour your warranty in that case.
And then you would install a custom ROM from recovery mode (volume up + home + power).

Hi,
When towelroot came out I installed it on my note 3 so I could get root without tripping knox. Last night I installed safestrap to get a custom rom without tripping knox, but when I installed alliance rom on rom slot 1 it somehow also installed the TWRP recovery and tripped knox. So now that my warranty is void anyway I was thinking about
installing another rom, just the normal way.
My question is if I should I unroot my phone first and root it the root de la vega method or can I just install whatever rom or recovery I want with my current settings/configuration? Also when I boot my phone into download mode I still get the custom OS warning, I don't know if that's a problem or should I press continue there?

Since you have tripped knox, no worry anymore on warranty. If you plan to flash new rom, you are always advised to have clean installation, meant to clean everything, else you will experience unnecessary problem. To backup your current setting, download titanium backup to make your apps and setting backup. You need to spend some time to familiarize with TB. It is very handy to help u restore previous rom settings and apps.
You do not need to unroot your current rom.

@Marcel94 :
I have never use safestrap anyway... so I have no idea how it works actually.
But... a clean installation will be good.
Grab latest firmware nd flash through odin, and go to recovery stock and do factory reset.
Then root with cf-autoroot, flash cwm/twrp.
Then flash ur rom.

Thanks for the advise guys! What do you mean with "go to recovery stock"? Will my recovery be stock again if I flash the latest firmware through odin? Nevermind, I already flashed the stock rom and got stock recovery, thanks!
how to flash custom roms from stock?
is your device rooted
do you have odin installed on a PC
Do you have a custom recovery installed
First, you'll have to root your device, preferably by Towelroot (if you want to keep your warranty) or CF Auto-Root (if you don't care about Knox and your warranty), then install a recovery, preferably TWRP, then flash your desired ROM via TWRP. Good luck and have fun with your rooted device!

You don't need root to flash custom rom.
You need only custom rcovery to flash rom.
Download custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) for your device. Flash it with the Odin.
Then boot into recovery and flash custom rom from there (follow the instruction for each custom rom).
I need to remove TWRP recovery from my phone but can't find the 5.0.1 stock recovery. What would be the quickest way to get stock recovery back? I recently upgraded to an S6 so I don't have any of my firmware saved on my pc anymore.
Installing stock rom. I don't know if you can have stock recovery with custom roms.

I don't have a custom rom on my phone. I think I just used TWRP to root it (it was a while back so I can't remember).
so i have just rooted my samsung galaxy s4 sgh-i337 using kingroot. it is the at&t version of the phone and it is running android 5.0.1 so this means it has a locked bootloader right? If so how would i install a custom recovery on it, and a deodexed ROM. What will happen if i try to install a custom recovery on a device with a locked bootloader
It will fail, that's what's going to happen.
I think for the AT&T model you need safetrap recovery. It is a special recovery bașed on TWRP.
