Thanks for fast responses everyone. Question. Since we are completely unlocked now why can't we just flash from Rom manager

Well you can but rom manager can be flaky. Plus I don't believe that version supports kexec so you could end up in an unbootable state if you accidentally flash a rom that still uses the older method.

Thanks everyone but I didn't use kexecI don't believe I rooted using easy method and then unlock vis app just bought s3today
If it helps at all and if you're still trying to decide whether to use EZ-Recovery or not, I'm using Rom Manager and boots into CWM no problem. I used it to install the alpha 2 CM10 that was posted yesterday.
Yeah you'll run into serious problems if you use Rom Manager and accidently flash a kexec based rom, but if you're smart about it you should be fine.
Rom Manager kept crashing on me every time I tried to install CWM through it

I just picked up a G2X off Craigslist which was already rooted and running what looked to be a modified version of CM7 with some proprietary apps integrated. I knew I wanted to run stock CM7, so I was planning a full wipe, and I was thankful that he had already rooted the phone for me.
I have some kind of issue with CWMR, though. The one installed on the phone is a 4.0.x derivative, which for whatever reason was incapable of flashing the latest CM7 nightlies. Luckily I was able to boot into the existing OS install and flash the latest CWMR (5.x), which got the job done and installed the latest nightly properly.
Here's the thing, though; I can't seem to *keep* CWMR installed. After flashing the latest CM7 nightly, I found myself staring down the old 4.x version instead. On my other devices I just flash CWMR and I'm good to go. How come it's reverting with this device?
Did you flash with NVFlash or thru Rom Manager? NVFlash is the way to go. Link for it can be found in the CM7 thread.

I used rom manager, since that has always worked on other phones. I looked into nvflash, but it appears to be windows only; is there any option that can be performed directly on the device, or that works in linux?

Look in the dev section again there's also a way for Mac/Linux.

There's also a link in the CM7 nightly thread. The G2X requires nvflash method, the flash thru rom manager is considered a "fake"flash.

Excellent, even though the instructions assume Windows, I see that there's a Linux nvflash binary included in the zip which got me up to date. Thanks!

Even though the flash through Rom Manager is a "fake flash" it still requires root to flash as it flashes CWM to the cache directory. In order to root the phone you must install CWM at least the first time using the NVFlash method and then run the root zip. Once you have done that you can use the ROM Manager one but you must reboot into recovery using ROM Manager to run that version of CWM. I personally don't recommend Rom Manager for the G2X, but I must say, it does work great on some other devices. For many devices, including the Nexus One, Koush is doing the so-called "fake flash" (he and Cyanogen Steve don't consider it fake) to keep the ROM untouched to not interfer with OTA updates, etc. Once the phone is running recovery, whether from the actual recovery partition or from the cache parition where Koush's Rom Manger puts it, whatever it can do is the same and functions the same as recovery is simply an image loaded into phone memory and then run from RAM. One it is loaded and running the image in the ROM is not accessed again during that recovery session.
Hi All,
just got a second line for work and i bought a g2x. got it rooted but haven't flashed a recovery yet.
is it true i can't just flash it via clockmod? on cyanogenmod's website it specifically says its the way to flash recovery but ive noticed in a few posts here that it will not flash recovery. i can really use some lights on this guys.
Thanks in advance.

To flash recovery the correct way, head on over to here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
If by clock mod you mean ROM manager, you can. But you will get your phone bricked if something goes south.
This phone is unbrickable, almost. Nvflash cwm on it and flash roms via it.
Search is your diaper friend.

So yes, and no...but yes. Confused yet?
You CAN use Rom Manager to flash a recovery and do backups / flash roms. The only issue comes up when you bork something up, and by you I mean rom manager of course, and you get a boot loop and have to pull the battery to get into recovery....you can't. It's got to do with the partitions RM uses I think. If you read enough you'll see that RM "fake flashes" CWM to your phone and you can't access it if it gets borked. Soooo you use Nvidia's NVFlash utility to flash CWM to your phones recovery partition. Then you're good to go. If you dig up the old CM7 thread, Cyanogen basically said that NVFlash replaces Fastboot for the G2x, but he uses RM from then on out.
Sooo use TGA_Gunnman's tool linked in the post above to install CWM the first time, then use RM is you so choose too. FWIW I've never used RM.

Thank you! got it now
i've been reading and trying the ICS roms, none seem to be as stable as a gingerbread rom.

I don't understand why people tell you to use ROM manager.
Only use nvflash to flash clockwork, and ONLY use ROM manager to rename your backups and to boot into recovery. Never use ROM manager to flash ANYTHING.
ICS ROMs are all pretty much betas for this phone. If you want stable stay with stock or cm7.

Cwm 6.0.1.x works with everything.
I use CWM 5.x.x.x being that it is the stable release and you can install it with ez recovery. TWP I haven't messed with because it doesn't work with everything, As the post above mentioned CWM 6. Its a leaked version so it could have issues but from what I've heard works well.
How is cwm6 leaked when it can be built from source?

I still have CWM v6.0.1.0 and was wondering about the CWM v6.0.1.2, Should I go ahead and install the newer version?
(I'm a diehard Motorola user that reluctantly switched to the SCH-I535 and am very glad I did switch so this is my first non-Motorola)
I roooted the phone and installed a recovery installed black bean succesfully. when the phone rebooted the phone greated me with the verizon sign that said I was using unauthorized software take it back to a verizon store. Any ideas what did I do wrong?
I already reset it to factory with odin, but I would like to know what am I missing here?
Sounds like you didn't unlock your bootloader. Download ez unlock from the play store, unlock and try again.

The rom is Baked Blackbean and its compatible with the vzw gs3... the problem is the op simply did not unlock his bootloader. Now he needs to follow section 6 of my guide linked in sig and then unlock the bootloader with ez unlock!
This time I got everything correct now, after i got my phone rooted i installed ez unlock and ez revovery, and this time booted just fine. Thanks for all your help.
Nice, now scrap that ez recovery and install rom manager. From there you can install cwm touch recovery 6.0.1.2 which is awesome. The version in ez recovery does not support jelly bean, so be careful.

I installed the cwm 6.0.1.0, is that the one you are talking about? I installed just fine fine with it, I really would like to use the touch screen one like twrp, what do you guys think about it?
Cwm has a touch version that you can install through their rom manager app. It's the same 6.0.1.2 version. EZ recovery only has the 5. something version of cwm touch which cannot be used on jb. Download rom manager app from play store, install current cwm recovery through the app, then choose install cwm touch recovery option on bottom, choose download from website (it's free there, paid through the market for some reason), choose your phone model, and that's it.

incorrect again! Imo rom manager can cause more problems then its worth...op follow section 5 of my guide for flashing anything aosp jb related.
It's not the touch version 6.0.1.2. It's the regular one. The touch available in that application is 5.8 version, not wise to run with jb. How can I be any clearer? That app will not give you cwm touch 6.0.1.2.

you dont need cwm touch...regular cwm6.0.1 works just fine from the ez recovery app. not to mention it works for everything. the reason im saying this is because new users need to learn how to manually flash things first to get a better understanding of what they are doing. rom manager can cause more trouble for folks like the op who flash things before doing research. sorry not trying to give ya a hard time as what you said is correct, i just dont think its a good recomendation for the op.
Wow, seriously, have you read the post? Op wanted a TOUCH recovery compatible with jb based rom's. That's the info I gave him on how to correctly install the most current version. Why are you trying to negate my absolute CORRECT answer to his questions?

I'm sure this has already been posted but I can't find it. If so I'm sorry and please just link me to it. I just picked up my Verizon Galaxy S3 about an hour ago. I rooted it using "RootDebugfs.bat". After rooting I installed ClockworkMod ROM manager then installed the ClockwordMod Recovery. Then I downloaded CM10 Stable using the ROM Manager and installed the CM10 Stable ROM. After the phone got done backing up my system and installing the custom ROM it rebooted to a screen saying
System software not authorized by Verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.
