I accept that your knowledge surpasses mine. That said odin absolutely will attempt to flash a corrupt tar. Use to rely on odin to the point that I once wasted a entire day before manually checking to find corruption. I realize that I may over cautious, nowadays I like to verify the checksum before odin ever sees it.
I flashed this in Odin after ED03 OTA hoping to get CWM recovery but it still goes to stock recovery, is there any other method of getting CWM3?
