Any gotchas trying to install CM13 on OH1?

Hi all, relative newb here.

If there is an RTFM on this, I'm all ears, and won't mind one bit.

I want to take a stock SPH-L710 to CM13, and read the thread. First step is to install CWM. I will try this first step later tonight, but question I have is whether I need to be rooted first.

Reason I ask is prior to taking OH1, I "tried" to get CWM installed on ND8 version, and it wouldn't take. I tried first via Odin 3.07, allowing after the SUCCESS message to let the phone reboot itself, and when I shut down and tried to get into recovery mode, it would just go tot he stock "download mode" screen. i then tried to flash via Odin, and not allow reboot, pulled the battery, and restarted into recovery, and the stock download screen still came up.

In reading the thread about CM13, the thread says to load CWM. The version that is linked to on the clockworkmod page is 6.0.4.5, which is not the version I was trying to install above (it was an older version). Can I assume that installing this version will allow boot into the CWM recovery, so I can get to the next step?

I also searched, and found useful pages on how to convert a .img to at tar.md5, so I think I'm good to use the version on the cwm url.

I've searched hard to find any mention of not being able to boot into CWM, and it has something to do with OTA updates. Asking these questions now, since for some reason, I can only get this site up here at work, not at home using IE on a 32 bit machine.

TIA...and pointers to RTFMs greatly appreciated.

Eric
