Okay so my friend flashed cwm through rom manager on his SGS 4G before realizing it wasn't the correct way to get cwm. Is there any way he could remove the bad cwm so we can replace it with the correct cwm? Even if we have to completely wipe the phone to do so that's fine, I just don't know how. A guide or link would be great! Thanks!

Tell him to get astro or another file manager and find something called update.zip, delete it, them install the right one. For the sgs4g just search the development forum for CWM FINAL. Hoped i helped.
Thank you that is exactly what I needed!

After downloading the newest ROM manager from the market, it now looks like I have two recoveries installed. If I boot into recovery from ROM Manager, I get the new blue one (with int SD support). But if I boot from the power menu, I get the old one. Something tells me I screwed something up, and I'm not touching anything until somebody tells me how this is even possible. WTF did I do?

No problem there. ROM manager is only updated false flash rom. Old one is the nvflashed real one.

Ah. So is it safe to flash from either one? Having access to the internal SD would be a lot more convenient.
Also, is there a thread somewhere pertaining to this situation?

There is an even better scenario...download the utility by tgagunmann in the development section, and flash the latest cwm, which allows both internal and external from boot recovery.

for my phone i try the CWM from rom manager, but my recovery have the samsung recovery ? @[email protected]? and i has seen other talking bout cwd dont work and then im not sure but something call kG4 ??
i rooted my phone with the superone click but i cant get a recovery so i can flash ROMs on my phone ??
I recommend you to ODIN one of the customize ROM or KERNEL in the development session first to get the CWM ( most of the case it was integrated to the ROM or kernel) then you can flash any ROM you want.
Or use the cwm final thread in the dev section.

Yikes dude. Just follow the many guides on the Bible... It can't get any easier than those guides. Use Odin to get CWM via Dr. Honks kernel.

It's power & vol down to get into CWM once you've flashed it. Follow the thread given by Waldano. This must be done before flashing any roms.
Is there a download mode for the g2x or is the volume buttons together the only way? Thanks for all the help guys I will post again a little later with a update

If you have already NVFlashed Clockwork Mod Recovery on the phone, you don't need a PC to flash again.
Download a good rom to a microSD card, throw it in the phone, use Clockwork to flash the zip from SD.
Or if you were smart, you would have performed a Nandroid Backup in Recovery before attempting to flash, in which you can just restore your backup and be back where you were at... which then you could download a different rom so the SD card USING the phone and attempt to reflash.
I messed up huge I flashed through rom manager that's why I can't get into cwm the phone wont do anything all it will do is go to the LG screen and the one with the little android Guy and a folder

Make sure you have USB debugging checked under apps/development, that's one cause for superoneclick freezing if I remember right.

Install the pre-rooted rom listed in the dev section. Really is no use in rooting when Samsung lets use flash the phone with custom roms via odin.
Bhundven's One-Clicks in the Dev section are excellent. All are based on KJ6 and two are already rooted.

Most of the ROMs in the dev section are rooted. What ROM are you currently running?
EDIT: It says above you are on GB 2.3.6. If you are - SuperOneClick V2.3.3 will work. Go to this thread, read the OP - all of it - hell watch the video if you need to, then go here and download the current version. And lastly be patient while it is running.
You can also read this thread for EASY ways to flash kernels once rooted and get on custom ROMs.
I encourage you to READ THE WIKI BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!
