[Q] is Cwm recovery possible via update.zip? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Is it possible to make cwm recovery update.zip and then using the stock recovery to flash it and trick the binary flash counter so it thinks it's a stock recovery so it doesn't trip the counter? I remember something like this from the vibrant, s2 or s3 forums but couldn't find anything for the t889.
Thanks.

[KERNEL] SGH-I747 (Galaxy S III AT&T) ROOTED INSECURE KERNELS - Latest: I747UCALEM
Hi Guys,
Here you can find rooted stock kernels (without any modifications, only "insecure" root added) for AT&T's USA version of Galaxy S III (SGH-I747).
This WILL rise your custom binary counter.
Insecure Means that adb daemon on phone is working as root. If you need more answers on what is insecure kernel, search over xda forums, the answer is there.
To flash, use latest ODIN (3.07) : Download Here!
*LATEST* - I747UCALEM
Enjoy!
Code:
Instructions:
- Run odin
- unpack zip (you should see .tar file inside)
- point to this TAR file in odin as PDA
- click flash
- done
So flashing any kernels from CWM will trip the counter? I thought only flashing through odin will...
By not tripping our counter and getting CWM, I thought we can flash anything without tripping counter (kernels, radios, roms etc)
Counter will be topped up when:
You flash insecure (repacked) kernel image - no matter how you will do it.
Nice start

Since this is insecure can custom boot animation be used?

No, this is pure stock kernel without any mods. Maybe later, but maybe only. I just dont have device to test it. Donate $$ or even device for me then i will be more active
Wait. This isn't cwm flashable. I'm confused.

So this trips the counter? So no way to flash custom kernels without tripping counter? What can we flash then? Only Roms? Radios?

So the OP was wrong in one of his posts in the thread....
"Counter will be topped up when:

Will this wipe a stock phone?
It's just a kernel that is rooted and insecure.

rooting through heimdall

Can anyone tell me if i have to root through heimdall to install cyanogen Rom so it can run smoother or can i just root through odin
You don't even need to root. You can just flash CWM in Odin, then boot into recovery and flash away.

If you don't root, then you wouldn't be able to use Titanium Backup, though ... correct?
[edit:] I believe I can answer my own question now: Most if not all ROMs have su privileges, so the phone is rooted once you've flashed.
U flash cwm through odin then u flash su through cwm and Viola you are rooted

Odin stock recovery only?

Is there a way I can flash just the stock recovery through Odin without having to flash the entire firmware? I'm currently rooted on the latest firmware with a customer coverage and everytime I reset the counter and reboot it gets set back to tripped. So I want to flash the stock recovery without losing root so I can reset the counter and then flash the entire firmware through odin again so I can send the phone back for exchange.

Pull out recovery.img, TAR it, flash it.
Ok and just converting it to a tar makes it safe to flash? I'veflashed many times but have never created a file to flash

If you download that and get the donation version, it has an option to make tar files. Doesn't matter that the toolkit is for the nexus 10 as far as just making tar files. I've used it to make cwm tars for my S2 and S4.
