hey guys, i got some ques to ask about rooting the phone..

1. is it possible if i only want to install CWM only and didnt flash any custom ROM cause i just want to install some MOD that requires my phone to be root?

2. and i saw on the net there's a lot of ways to do it, like using ODIN, the all in one toolkit from XDA, chainfire apk something, any recommendations for the best and easiest method?

3. and i come across this thing call reset counter thing, is it something that i should take note of? cause last time when i root/flash my HTC there's nothing like this.
