Dear comunity,

I might be a complete idiot, but I've spent several hours already reading the forum and I can't find some kind of tutorial or steps I have to take to install custom recovery on N9005.

Is it really that I just need to flash recovery via Odin and that is it?

My current status: totally stock with latest 4.4.2 update
SM-N9005
N9005XXUENB1
KOT49H.N9005XXUENB4
SE for Android status: enforcing
SEPF_SM-N9005_4.4.2_0005

I don't mind tripping Knox. I want to flash Omega v11 rom.

(Again, I am sorry that I am probably asking something very obvious, but I seem to be lost ...)

Thank you!

Yup pretty much grab TWRP / PhilZ CWM /CWM and flash via ODIN and you're good to go, make sure reactivation lock is off in securty settings before you flash a custom ROM.

first...
root your device with CF-Autoroot, find the one for 4.4.2. Follow his instructions to flash via ODIN.
Once you are rooted, then you can consider to use CWM recovery.
From what I have read so far, the best recovery to use under 4.4.2 is CWM released by ChengLu (credits to him), which gives no problem in flashing the custom ROM. :)
But not avoiding other possibilities that other recovery also reported to be worked on some device by some users.

PS : both CF-Autoroot and CWM Chenglu are flashed from ODIN. Follow their instructions (especially to enable USB debugging & OFF Reactivation Lock.

Cheers & good luck.
