Yes once u have a custom recovery u can go forth and flash.

This you mean?
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 :

Do you already have TWRP then?

If so you may start enjoying the pleasures of flashoholism.

You used Odin or Mobile Odin? Anyway, as long as your phone is booting, and you can access recovery, you should be fine. I understand the trepidation of your first time hahahahahhahaa.

Please remember to wipe everything. Don't perform dirty flashes like alexng2208 with his durex covered phone. He keeps going on about texture, *censored*censored*censored* etc.

recommended of course is full wipe to make sure nothing        is left in the phone

in twrp, just select factory reset

once you have rooted, its a whole new world of happy flashing ROMs

always do nandroid through  twrp (if you have it installed) as its the best reset button

if u press and hold vol up+home+power?

You might need to reflash a stock rom and then redo the rooting process. Or you could download one of those pre-rooted firmware from XDA user as i9000 then use Mobile Odin free version to flash in your recovery.
BTW I'm getting the phone control codes (eg *#nnn#) working again instead of MMI Code not found errors. Periodic resetting is good I suppose.

Did u use mobile Odin app?
Don't ever use Odin in over to avoid soft bricking

First rule of flashing: READ
Second rule of flashing: READ MORE
Third rule of flashing: Flash only after having read enough

as per n8210 please backup your EFS. TWRP has this option.

If you can find the individual sites of the rom u can, or even the dev-host links.

Hand itching already?
