On the nvflash 1 click method it says we can uswe this nvflash recovery for backups and just in case and it says we can flash rom manager clockwork for flashing Rome and stuff like that
Is it safe

It is safe, nvflash is used to replace the stock recovery with custom recovery (cwm) used to flash roms. You cannot do backups with nvflash you need to flash cwm to do backups.
Once you use the NVFlasher... power down your phone. While off hold down vol-/power to get into the new recovery.
In there you'll see an option for backup/restore. Backup your stock rom before flashing a custom one... just for kicks in case of later issues or warranty exchanges.

Is there a way to fully wipe cwm from the phone if it was flashed with NV flasher? I flashed the internal support one when I started flashing roms and now I notice that trying to flash external support roms has put me in a pickle. I've asked before whether I needed to switch support or something and was told the newest rom manager supports both... this is wrong. Upon installing eaglesblood 2.3.5 and installing rom manager...no cwm detected, so I flash it. Now when I reboot doing power and down I boot into an old internal support cwm that only has old backups and access to the internal SD. If I reboot from rom manager it will boot into the new cwm. How do I erase the old NV flash version. It wont hold any new backups, so if I crash it will leave me with old cwm. Plus its a pain when I don't have access to downloads I do via rom manager.....
Summary - old version of cwm bootable through power and down (nvflash version) . New version flashed by rom manager only shows up booting through rom manager. Want to erase NV flash version so there's only one. Frustrated.

No need to erase, just nvflash over current will replace old.....if you flash newest 5.0.1.6 i belive, it lets you choose zip from sd card or internal memory....BUT have the latest nvflash one, its a must if you are gonna flash roms.

I see, what about flashing through rom manager? Is there a way to rid the rom manager install before I do the NV flash... should I not flash through rom manager?

Just have both, make sure both are latest, but the nvflash one is most important. That one will/can save your life (phone)
For all intents and purposes, you cannot actually flash CWM from ROM manager with this phone. All it can do is reboot into CWM from the app. If you ever need to access CWM from a power-off state (bad flash, bootloop, etc.) you will only be able to enter the NVFlash version. Strongly recommend always having the NVFlashed version of CWM. Maybe even give up using ROM Manager altogether.
If you can't do without ROM Manager, keep using it. But it would be a good idea to flash CWM 5.x.x.x through NVFlash so that you have an emergency recovery that can read both internal and external memory.
Thanks Frisco and r4. Totally understand now. Relief. Now to Eb 1.9!

I had put my transformer back to stock for the ICS update. I have now installed that and rooted but I do not have recovery. Powering up while hold down vol does nothing. What is the correct way to flash that?
After I get that I want to flash a kernel to OC again.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

You can find Roach2010's CWM Recovery installer APK floating around the forum, or there is also Rogue XM Recovery that works. I have not experience with that one. Roach's you can just install the APK from the tablet and you are good to go.
Also, some searching around the forum you would note that ASUS has not released the kernel source. This means that dev's cannot compile a custom kernel, and no OCing for ICS yet.
Thank you.
I did search and just thought I was wrong about the kernel.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Rogue XM Recovery is the preferred recovery. Much better than Roaches.
ICS Kernels... don't exist until ASUS releases source for ICS kernel.

I tried both and the apps just freeze...
Any other ideas? I need my cwm back!!!
Whatever you do, DONT use the one that comes with ROM Manager off the market.
It caused mine and a couple of others to bootloop recovery.
If you have B60 and below series, you could NVflash Rogue recovery. This is what I did to install CWM after updating to ICS.

I'm not sure what you mean. You can do a backup of your current state, or you can flash a new rom from via zip file
If you have recovery your good to go. I do recommend doing a backup before you flash anything though just in case something goes wrong.

Post #3 is correct...
OK..you are rooted and now have recovery CMW 6.0.1.0 which you flashed with ez recovery (all you need to do with that app, you are done with it). At this point just pick a rom that you want...example SynergyROM. All you would do is download the rom and place it on your SD card...I would recommend the extSDCard.
Boot your device into recovery by holding the buttons to do it or just open EZ recovery and hit button 'boot recovery' option only. Find the zip on ext card and that is it...
Always do a backup first which you can do in recovery before flashing the new rom and save that to your ext sdcard also which is an option in 6.0.1.0 after backup then flash new rom
Thank you all for the info

Do we even use Rom Mgr? I think this where I'm making mistakes.
You don't need to use Rom Manager. You have the EZ recovery that flashes a recovery. Rom manager does the exact same thing but EZ recovery makes it simple. Just do what post 3 says and you'll be fine. I just started using EZ recovery 3 days ago and I've already flashed a recovery and a custom kernel. The EZ recovery is only foe flashing recoveries...don't ever try to flash a custom Kernel through it. You can flash custom kernels through CWM Recovery the same way you flash custom rooms, but you need a recovery that supports kexec which would be CWM 6..which is what you have.

Ok, thanks. Been having problems and I think it's because I've involved Rom Mgr
I wanna flash Touch through Odin (unless there's an easier way) but will having regular clockwork installed hurt anything if I flash?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Flash touch over regular cwm via ez recovery. It's fine. Don't use odin to flash recovery.
Thanks! Did that and it worked!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
FYI...it would be better if you ran CWM 6.0.1.0 instead of CWM Touch...ive had better results with the newer version, if you're interested in trying it out.
I actually used CMW to flash 6.0.1.2 over 6.0.1.0 as opposed to using EZ recovery. I used EZ Recovery to get 6.0.1.0 on the phone in the first place. I do this because the first S3 I tried to use the custom option in EZ Recovery on was soft bricked upon flash completion.

Agreed, just use the CWM ROM Manager app to flash on the most current 6.0.1.2. You can also flash most recent touch recovery through the app as well, that option is at the bottom. I use the touch while I am using ICS roms, but when I start playing with JB developments, I flash back to 6.0.1.2 standard recovery. Though I have not experienced any issues with touch and JB, the developers warn in bold to not use it with JB roms. CWM is updated more frequently than the EZ recovery app, and why use an outside source to flash CWM anyways? EZ recovery is good to start out with because of its different recovery options, but ultimately is not better that the actual recovery source app CWM.

Never mind. I now understand how to unlock, flash recovery and flash a ROM.
Now that that's out of the way...
Would one recommend doing a system wipe on stock before unlocking and flashing recovery and ROM?
Is TWRP accepted to be the best custom recovery?
After unlocking, flashing recovery, and flashing ROM, all I will have to do to root is flash the root files, correct? Since I'll be unlocked.
After flashing CleanROM, should I do a system wipe (will it work the same way it does on stock but with CleanROM instead?)
Now what I am wondering is how I use that overclocked kernel I've been reading about, with CleanROM.

Bump.

Most ROM devs will tell you to wipe data before you install their ROM to be sure there is no old stuff left that could be incompatible.
TWRP is a good recovery, and so far I am happy with it - didn't try the current CWM though.
For (re-)gaining root, you just start your recovery and flash a superuser zip, e.g. SuperSU. If you flashed a pre-rooted ROM, you don't even need that.
If you wiped before installing CleanROM, you don't need to wipe again afterwards.

I just installed the latest TWRP over CWM recovery using GOO.
I find the touch version features of twrp easier
...and yes CleanROM 2.3 is already rooted.
