I used the one click root method and installed rom manager. from rom manager, I flash clockworkmod recovery, but when I tried to backup current rom. I got an error. Now I'm a bit worried to try installing any roms if I cant backup properly. Whats going on?
pretty sure the ROM manager flash recovery only puts the update.zip on your sd care. you can search dev forum (this should be in general btw) and do one click clockwork so you can boot to it from rom manager. otherwise you can boot to stock recovery and flash the update.zip on your sd to boot clockwork, then you can backup and stuff. but you will need the one click to boot to CWM from rom manager.

wat?
sorry, I had a hard time following, could you elaborate please?

Could ROM Manager fake Flash Clockworkmod recovery be responsible for bricking phones on LG update? Let me explain what I mean - Lots of people, like myself, installed ROM Manager and its CWM because we did not know it's not real Flash. Then We switched to "real" CWM. Now the question is when we do normal stock recovery in order to get official GB update, does this CWM of ROM manager still remains in the phone? If so, could it be that it contributed to the troubles updating through LG tool? How can I make sure I removed it from the phone?
Thanks!
Yes. Many people have confirmed that not having the stock recovery on the device is a road to Bricksville. Even though you are fake flashed there is code inserted somewhere to redirect to the fake flash, and the recovery images for flash (normally installed every boot) have been deleted or renamed. You should flash stock recovery with NVFlasher to make sure you are back at a clean stock recovery before using the LG Update tool.
Thanks but what I mean is that AFTER I realized it's fake flash I installed "real" CWM. So when I do stock on this "real", does CWM rom manager still remains in the phone and how can I remove it?

so I am a little confused I used CWM to make a backup before I did anything to my phone. And I was already on the 2.3.3 lg update. So if I restore that I should be back to stock and CWM should still be there right? But lets say LG comes out with another update (Doubtful) and I want to use it I should use the NVflash to reture the phone to stock? if I use NVflash will that put me back on froyo 2.2.2 or GB 2.3.3?
Also I used rom manager to make a backup of the rom I was on which was the stock rooted so is that fake or what the hell is fake? is it the first option in rom manager the CWM recovery? is it the same if I use CWM stock recovery? in cwn itself? Oh I am so confused someone help me
ROM Manager cannot flash directly to the phone so it "fake flashes" CWM recovery. It only installs a few files to the system so that when you run recovery the stock recovery runs an "upate" and that launches CWM recovery from your SD card. Just return the phone to GB 2.3.3 stock and be happy with it. If you restore using CWM it will remain there, so you should use NVFlash to restore stock recovery also.

I have BOTH - CWM AND CWM through the ROM Manager. So if use NV Flash to go to stock, is the CWM from ROM manager still in the phone and how can I remove it?
Thanks!
so what I am getting out of this is rom manager is crap and dont use it. If you just use CWM to do your flashing and backups and recoverys you should be ok.

Thanks but my questions are:
1. If I go to stock using NV Flasher, is ROM Manager's CWM still going to be in the phone, since I have BOTH?
2. Can it BRICK my phone if I do the LG update then?
3. How can I make sure I removed BOTH - NV Flash CWM AND ROM Manager CWM?
do you need clockwork mod recovery for rom manager on the evo 4g
Yes, you need a recovery. Although you can flash ROM's through ROM manager, it is not recommended. You also need recovery in case you get stuck in a bootloop. It will allow you to restore to your nandroid backups. There are also mods and hacks that can only be installed through recovery.
thanks but i have ra recovery right now its says i need clockwork to use roms on rom manager do i have to use clockwork?
Oh, well then no. As long as you have some form of custom recovery you are good to go.
All right, my issue is I have no clue in following directionshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777970 that are listed here, I understand how to get to command line, but I am unsure from there, I would love a good detailed instructions or something to help me out. I'm trying to flash a custom rom that requires me to have an updated cwm. Thank you so much and sorry for my noobish question!

its simple man if you have a custom recovery already all you need to do is flash the zip file like any other file you would in CWM.
if you dont have a custom recovery already use odin check out vincoms stickie in the developement page and flash the recovery thru odin and that it . pretty simple

the issue lies in that the only way to install the custom rom is to upgrade my custom recovery to the latest one, and thanks for your response!
EDIT: I researched online and found a method with fastboot and the recovery image, I will try this, is this a wrong method or is it possible?
You don't need fastboot at all if you already have a custom recovery installed. Just download the cwm flashable zip and flash it just like you would a rom (install zip from sd card > choose zip from internal/external > choose the cwm zip and choose install, then choose the recovery option to reboot recovery to boot into the new recovery.

If you have CWM or ClockWork Mod installed on your phone.
----- ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUT THE CWM TOUCH ZIP FILES ON YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD AND NOW GO TO RECOVERY MODE AND FLASH IT, GO TO INSTALL FROM SD CARD, I'M PRETTY SURE YOU KNOW IT? OR IF NOT MESSAGE ME I'LL HELP YOU STEP BY STEP.
If you DON'T have CWM.
----- download a cwm and flash it through odin and after having cwm, do that instruction above.

You're all jacked up, dude. Just grab the zip file, place it on your sd card, and flash it in recovery.

All righr, I'm stupid. It is all good now. Thanks everyone.
I am running a CWM recovery now and want to install TWRP recovery. What is the best and easiest way to do this??? Noob Question, however I had a app when I got the phone and I put CWM on it. I keep seeing everyone favors TWRP and want to give it a go... Thanks and sorry if its out there already.
Edit - For all of those not familiar with fastboot and flashing recoveries, there is an app in playstore called flashify that will flash a recovery or boot images. You just need to d/l the file that you want like TWRP 2.5 or CWM and save the file on your sd card. Select it in Flashify and bam..
That's cool. I wasn't aware you could flash CWM or twrp without a computer using fastboot. Nice.

Flashify? Isn't it to share URL between browsers?
It's like ROM Manager, the first one I ever used to flash CMW. But never heard of Flashify, nice one there. Just do a zip install of a TWRP from CMW, I don't think you need an external soft to do this D: . They recommend to use GooManager but I don't think there's a difference at all.

Place the .zip file on the root of your SD card, boot into recovery, flash the .zip file (no need to wipe anything) reboot recovery, you should now be in new recovery, reboot phone.
Or go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306450 this is an excellent app that will allow you to install recoveries and kernels
