Can I install the stock rom without a custom recovery installed?

I am going to try and install TWRP using a certain method via PC/USB cable, I tried a couple of one click apps but they didn't work. I believe you need a custom recovery installed if your going to install a custom rom etc - which I want too.

So if I brick my phone can I install the stock rom(which I have downloaded to my PC) without the custom recovery like twrp installed on the phone. I would have to probably do it using adb on the PC unless a bricked phone can still access the SD card on the phone?

As above, you can grab the stock firmware from SamMobile and use Odin to flash it on the phone while it's in download mode. It will flash the ROM, recovery, etc basically everything to factory stock settings.

Or use https://updato.com/ as SamMobile is slow unless you pay.
