I had to do this recently. It's fairly simple:
From a Stock Rom:
#1 Use ODIN to install a custom recovery such as Clockwork Mod Recovery
#2 Then simply a Flash a Pre Rooted ROM via a custom recovery such as Clockwork Mod.
Here is QBKing77s video showing the process:

Hey dvtmg, which root method did you use? Most likely, you have the stock android recovery which will not allow you to do a nandroid backup, or flash roms. You will need a custom recovery (CWM, Rogue, ACS) to begin either of those processes.

If you run auto root I think it's option 3 to add cwm. Not sure though but check it out.

Yes option 3 is for installing CWM only. As far as a rom I would recommend calk's it will give you the features you are looking for.
Thanks

I don't think there is since you have to flash a zip file to actually root your system but you can always go back and install your stock recovery after your rooted
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You can with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963812, but you won't be able to install any ROMs.
Thanks will look into it

Yes that link will work although i dont think there is a cspire version so youll have to use sprints. That said this will do what your asking as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017470

Check the stickies. Flash twrp through Odin, then flash root or pre-rooted rom through twrp.

That has everything you need to gain root. What you do from there is up to you. I've personally used it on both the ICS and JB stock images. Worked perfectly.
Search before you make a new thread next time though. Took me all of 15 seconds to find that when I first got on here.

Installing a recovery

This may be a dumb question but to install a recovery from goomanager... You have to be rooted right?
I'm stock now and trying to install a custom recovery and then flash roms... Are there any custom recoveries you can install from Odin?

You need root to install custom recoveries also to flash ROMs. You have your choice between twrp and cwm. I know twrp has Odin flashable files on their site. Easy as pie.

Is this the way by flashing a whole new stock rom with root injected? Trying to avoid that if possible.

Bah there a simple way hut trips then flash counter ( which does matter because we can clear the flash counter)
Its just say casual rooting I think. Its intended at&t development section. Its a one click deal basically. You need to be rooted to do anything with odin
