Hey I guys,
I'm a noob at this stuff so I apologize if this is dumb question but do I need to have a recovery before I root or can I root and then install a recovery?

Thank you so much. Where do I get framaroot? I looked on the Play Store but it is not there. When I get it, will that allow me to put a recovery on it?

see the list of supported devices.
its only for rooting and it doesnt help you with installing recovery.

Is there a way you recommend installing a recovery?I've looked on cyanogen mod but I don't think they support my device. Any ideas?

Wwhich device are you using ???
All devices have a recovery mode . While rooting you are replacing a recovery mode like cwm .

what phone?

I've never had an issue rooting... its gotten pretty safe, as long as you follow the steps closely you shouldn't have any issues or worries about bricking anything.
There are backup options of your rom after you root it. Clockworkmod Rom Manager makes backups and installing new rooms as easy as 3 buttons.

Since the galaxy player 5 us version is older device is there a clockwork mod recovery for it?

not when you use super one-click, you have to flash a kernel after rooting.

You can have root access and not CWM. A lot of the less-serious users do it so they can use Ti-Backup and other root-using apps

To help out others that may encounter the same issue you had, please post step by step what you did to resolve the issue.
I used goomanager to install an active script recovery, this one worked. DONT USE FREAKING ROM MANAGER TO INSTALL A RECOVERY! That's about it

Very true,
There is a sticky about ROM Manager, while I have it on other devices I don't have it on my TF101. Just wish they would play nicely together.

[Q] Unlock Bootloader

I'm sure this has already been posted but I can't find it. If so I'm sorry and please just link me to it. I just picked up my Verizon Galaxy S3 about an hour ago. I rooted it using "RootDebugfs.bat". After rooting I installed ClockworkMod ROM manager then installed the ClockwordMod Recovery. Then I downloaded CM10 Stable using the ROM Manager and installed the CM10 Stable ROM. After the phone got done backing up my system and installing the custom ROM it rebooted to a screen saying
System software not authorized by Verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.

When I try to boot into recovery I am given the same message. I can boot into ODIN mode though and am just wondering what I should do. I have ODIN3 v3.07 installed. I just don't know where to go from here.
Thank you in advance for any advice/help given and once again I'm sorry if this has already been answered somewhere.

Try this page .......... ClockworkMod Recovery by Zedomax. Download his "HighOnAndroid v1 ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.1" and flash with Odin. The Download link is on the page.

Or better yet, use Mobile odin and install using only your tablet....

So you've rooted that bad boy previously, right? If so, on Android Andi's Omni build you have to flash SuperSU after ROM and gapps. Maybe Slim is the same?

brother just flash super su zip file from recovery and everything will be fine
If you want to make root permanent then open titanium backup hold super su and select " convert to system app ". By this you will not loose root again until you flash a new rom. Factory reset your phone and see still you have root
