To update on rooting method. This time I did not use ChengLu method ( root cum CWM) but opt instead for Chainfire auto root. You can download his file from
http://download.chainfire.eu/264/CF-Root/C...gxx-gtn7100.zipFlash the extracted tar file as PDA using Odin in PC
According to dr Ketan :
Method 1:
Disadvantage : Here you will get full root access, but here recovery will remain stock, so you won't have option to flash zip files (still you can flash zip with Mobile Odin), but you won't have any option for Nandroid backup/Restore.
Advantage : You have to reset flash counter once only, then whenever you need to reset to unroot/ready to claim warranty, just you need to go to superSU - setting - unroot.
So If you are Flash counter conscious and really don't have need for nandroid backup, This one is for You.
His mentioned disadvantage can be easily overcome . Just use Mobile Odin and flash the TWRP recovery img.tar file and you will have recovery installed
The TWRP img file can be downloaded at :

It's mentioned clearly in your post u quoted to flash using pc odin . Since u haven't root your phone yet , there's no other option . Mobile Odin don't work without root . Also , if I remember correctly b4 I purchased the pro version, the free version allows u 2 flash recovery and kernel only but I might be wrong since I bought it least then a day of trying it out .
