So I have this N7100 with a custom 4.4.2 ROM (rr remix) and TWRP recovery. The issue is TWRP won't mount any kind of storage, int or ext, so I want to switch to CWM and wonder if I could just flash that through ODIN like you would over a stock recovery. I am rooted, got supersu though ROM Manager or Goo are not an option right now. I read somewhere once that flashing a custom rec. over another custom rec. in ODIN can brick the thing. Should I go ahead with ODIN?

Never mind, problem solved, went with ODIN and it worked like butter. Thanks goes to user @cnote74.

For future reference you can do what I do. Make a folder on ext sd name it recovery and place all the recovery zips in it . And just cycle through recoveries as and when needed. It has worked for me.
