Bootloader dilemma!

[androidfine16]

Hello guys . Let me start of by saying I'm probably repeating what has been answered a million times but time is of the essence here. Here's my situation.

I have a friend who has a t mobile galaxy s4 and he asked me to upgrade his system for him to cyanogenmod . He has mk2 firmware android 4.3 and his rooted I did that for him. But the thing is I have an att galaxy.s4 and my bootloader is locked . Is the t mobile one locked as well on MK2. I don't want to mess up his device. He doesn't care for tripping the flash counter as he has no warranty.

So to conclude can I flash TWP or CWM recovery on his phone without bricking it if so can someone please lead me to a link. Thanks .

Once again sorry for the repetition but I searched google and I wasn't getting a straight forward answer.

Yeah bootloader is not locked so just flash recovery with Odin, wipe, and flash cm.. I recommend twrp, or cwm if you prefer.. And a link to what?

Thank you. I was saying a link to flashing the recovery and steps or would a .tar file and odin work?.
Sorry for all the worries it's just it isn't my phone

Yup tar file & Odin!

And any rom from 4.4 and down would work?

Yes. Although you may experience have some issues on MK2 modem so flash the NB4 modem if you have data or call problems..

I'm quite noobish and what i did was root via odin, reboot flash cwm from phone and download and flash CM 10.2 all from my phone

You could but root is not needed

you don't need to root to flash custom rom? i though you needed root rights to flash recovery

You don't need root to flash custom ROM or recovery, only if you're flashing recovery from your device
