What Recovery for P605V to Install?

Just bought this and could not find a way root but was successful with TowelRoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
But I need a Custom Recovery so I can load a rom....not sure if I can load any recovery my cell N3 uses SS. Can anyone provide me link to a safe recovery I can use in the P605V baseline NC2?
Not sure that the bootloader has been unlocked to install a custom recovery. Last I read it had not been.

After flashing TWRP again, pull battery out when you see “PASS!” in ODIN, then boot straight into recovery by putting the battery back on and using the buttons, you should see TWRP recovery now.

Run cf auto root again and then go on the play store see if there is an update for supersu if not open the app and it might say something like the binary is outdated then it should give you an option to do it normal or twrp or cwm and do the normal one and it should say pass or something like that then to reboot the phone

Bootloader dilemma!

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?

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

Thanks, but do I need to install TWRP Recovery and busybox?
All I need is to get access to write and erase on the sd card. So do I still need to install twrp and busybox?.
Anyone please?.
