can I flash a custom ROM without root?
I mean, I only flash a cwm on my phone.

Yes. As long as you have a custom recovery installed. 'Root' is in the ROM.
In other words if the device is not rooted, but had a custom recovery installed, you can use the recovery to flash a new ROM that already has root access enabled. You don't have to have root before hand.

I'm new to samsung so I was wondering if you flash new modems and firmware through a custom recovery like twrp or if I would have to use odin? I really don't want to have to go through backing everything up, flashing through odin, and re flashing my rom and mods as well as all my data.

Modem won't flash with recovery yet. But kernels, roms and recoveries can. But using odin is quick and easy so no big deal in my opinion.
And there are versions that I posted which won't wipe the data. So you won't have to restore anything.

Decided to use towel root and flashify to gain root and custom recovery and upon flashing omni I lost root and ability to boot into twrp and now towel root doesn't work. Any suggestions on how to get twrp up and running again

This process is important? I was deleting SuperSU and in says that if I delete SuperSU I will delete this file too...
If you're unrooting, you don't need to keep it.
Ok, thanks.
There is a way to see if there is any modifications to the system's file?

There's an OTA checker flashable zip in general I think.
No, not in the ota, I say in general, if I want just to control of there is any modifications without flash anything

There is only one way. By flash the OTA checker zip in custom recovery. It can be found in the general forum I believe.

Ok, so I have to flash this with flashify (rooted with towelroot)
After the flash I'll have to unroot the phone and just install Lollipop with the ota?

Flash what with Flashify?
I think the best bet for you is to read the thread about root / update in my signature. OTA is proving too troublesome. I can't hand hold you through the whole process.
I mean the zip checker

I already told you.
Ok, I've read your thread about how to upgrade to Lollipop the Nexus.
The fact is that my main pc have no working USB ports, so if I want to unlock the bootloader and stuff like this I have to use my second pc, and it is very slow (the last time to just fastboot a factory image it tooks me one hour of suffering).
I think that the method 2b is the one that is closest to my situation:
1. Unlock bootloader if necessary (This wipes data)
2. Accept OTA update
3. Fastboot flash a custom recovery image (of your choice)
4. Fastboot flash a custom boot.img (@Chainfire for basic root, @sykopompos for full permissive mode)
5. Flash from recovery, SuperSU

I don't want root, so:
2. Accept OTA update

If I have understood, the only thing that I have to do is use flashify to flash the OTA checker zip. file and than proceed with the OTA, right?
If there is another way to do this without use the PC, it will be great, but I don't know.
Is what I said right or I forgot something?
Thank you with your help anyway!

You haven't understood. I told you how to flash it. I did NOT say flash via flashify please try to read properly

This is what you mean?
If yes, I can't flash with a custom recovery because I have the stock recovery (because I'm rooted with only Towelroot, so stock recovery and locked bootloader)

Then you can't use it! Wait for the OTA and install it.
I already have the OTA, but I think that there could be some issues, this is why I want to check if everything it's good, I don't want to brick/bootloop the device

You wont brick it. If you're not stock, it wont install.
Thank you, it works

Copy recovery installable zip file of supersu available to sdcard of your phone
Root using CF AUTO root for N915G using odin, it may fail but don't bother then flash cwm recovery for the same i.e. N915G through ODIN in download mode. Then boot in recovery n flash supersu through cwm recovery n ola your are good to go.I followed the same and i am rooted now..
Should i use autoroot which is available for kitkat version ?
Alsa once rooting via auto root fails should i reboot fone and flash recovery again or should i do boath of them together
