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.

Dude everything you need is here

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.

I believe EZ recovery allows you to flash a lot of kexec based recoveries, including CMW 6.0.1.0.
I'm curious if using a kexec recovery with CM10 will cause your phone to boot into recovery when you hard reboot, but I'm trying to find out if there's a way to go back to your already flashed CM10 instead of booting the stock ROM.

Looking to flash a new kernel.

I rooted my phone with the quick root tool from noxious Nina. I want to flash a new kernel so overclocking is capable. can I just install and run the vzw ez unlock from the play store or do I have to completely flash a new Rom and all on my phone? any help would be appreciated. thanks.
The EZ unlock tool works great!!! Just make sure you flash the correct kernel.... AOSP kernel for AOSP base ROMs and a stock/touchwiz kernel for stock/touchwiz ROMs. Most of the ROMs floating around have a kernel built in specific to that ROM. Happy flashing and make a nandroid before anything!!!!

I have everything backed up with TB. do you know of a good stable stock Rom kernel that can be overclocked.
Synergy is stable and good. I have been running that since the beginning. I am gonna jump to ParanoidAndroid this weekend since most of the bugs have been worked out. You can search around for the most compatible OC apps and methods. I normally leave things be unless I need to change them.

Ok soooooooooooo I have another question. I'm looking at flashing clean kernel. I want to use vzw ez recovery. Has any one done just a kernel with this app and how did you do it. Just select your image and click flash or reboot recovery. I have done research on this but I have yet to find a solid answer on how to do it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I normally just reboot to CWM and flash away.... I don't use EZ for anything other than choosing recovery and unlocking the bootloader. If you're not on a custom ROM you can use EZ to boot into recovery after flashing the recovery of your choice.

So if I use ez and flash into COM 6.0 then I can go into download mode with vol up home and power then just boot to any Rom that way?

I don't know if it still applies but you aren't supposed to flash kernels with ez recovery.. I did that once and got stuck in a boot loop. That should be used for recoveries only. Use that to flash cwm and go to where you downloaded your kernel..most likely your download folder and flash it. But as stated before make sure your kernel applies to your ROMs tw=tw aosp = aosp no crossing. I personally still use cwm 6 although that was a recovery for kexec methods..it can still be used...for flashing ROMs make sure you know if you have to wipe data and cache as well. You can get into some nasty boot loops and bricks if you don't. I personally do a nandroid and then wipe everhthing then flash a new ROM...just a force of habit. I hope this helps..hit the thanks button if this helps you at all.

Also to add to your question..you flash ROMs from cwm recovery. Download mode is used for Odin to flash stock ROMs and stock rooted ROMs. To boot into cwm from an off state its power volume up and home at the same time. From there back up using the backup option and once that is complete wipe data/wipe cache then go to install zip from SD card or ext SD card wherever you downloaded the new rom and flash that and don't panic if your phone doesn't boot up right away (hanging at the boot animation screen) the first boot always takes the longest.

Boot into RECOVERY and wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and Flash it.
I figured it all out yesterday. Running synergy r68 with ziggys kernel

Will flashing Clockwork Mod Touch over Regular Clockwork hurt anything?

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.

[Q] Unable to Flash Recovery

Long time Galaxy Nexus user and I just received my S3 yesterday in the mail!
Of course I couldn't wait to root and unlock it using the very helpful thread RootDebug, EZ-Unlock11 and EZ-Recovery2.2. Via Odin I then flashed the latest CWM 6.0.1.2. At that point I attempted to flash via CWM the Unofficial CM10 JB Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788443). Everything seemed to go just fine but it hung at boot up for 20 minutes. In my haste to play I did not clear the cache which could have been the reason. At that point I pulled the battery and rebooted only to get the infamous message to take my phone to a VZW dealer. After countless trouble free flashes I suppose it was bound to happen at some point.
So via the recovery thread I loaded VRALEC, VRALF, and stock.vwx.root66.tar from the SoftBrick thread to get back up and running. Now however I cannot reflash CWM via Odin. It always fails and on my phone it says "secure check fail : recovery".
I rebooted the phone, computer, and otherwise havent changed anything.
Suggestions to get CWM back on my phone?
Thanks!
J
I did not see that you unlocked the bootloader.
Assuming you performed the Soft Brick guide successfully, what happens when you boot into the rom and download EZ Recovery and flash CWM? You mention flashing CWM only through Odin in your post.

I can boot into CWM 6.0.1.0 via the EZ recovery app
I did get a message i've never seen before upon exit of CWM. "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?" I selected Yes - Disable recovery flash
Thanks again for your input!
follow my guide...link in sig!
That message only has bearing if your running the stock rom. Custom rom's will not flash original recovery. Choosing yes or no only matters on stock, will not make any changes on a custom rom

you can always try to flash the new cwm thru ez recovery. Just take the recovery zip and save it to your SD card then go to ex recovery and select custom then select your path to the zip you put on your SD card and flash then reboot and it should have flashed the new cwm without even using Odin. Also make sure you have ez unlock installed and unlocked just to make sure the boot loader is unlocked. Better to be safe than sorry.

[Q] Bizarre CWM problem on TF101

When trying to update my TF I accidentally flashed an incomplete Rom (got lazy and didn't check MD5...) Anyway, ever since then it ALWAYS boots into CWM (5.8.3.4) If I boot w/Vol DN and let it cold-boot then it will go into a fresh install and setup fine. However, on the next reboot it will go back to CWM 5.8.3.4 I have flashed the newer CWM 6.0.1.4 v2 but it won't "take" the install seems to go fine but it always boots back to the old CWM. I've also flashed other ROMS and they don't "take" either.
Confused...

Install different recovery... use easy flash and push either TWRP recovery or rogue recovery... personally I prefer TWRP recovery.. once you have a new recovery wipe everything ( internal memory also) and install a better ROM...
