Rooted looking to flash a recovery

OK, I'm helping a friend with his Csouth showcase... He is rooted using the z4 root method. But i cannot seem to find a valid recovery.. And im coming from an HTC device so the whole samsung thing is alien.. I know what I'm doing but ive never owned a samsung device so I'm asking y'all... What is a recovery I can use, something other than Clockworkmod? Or if it's only Clockworkmod can y'all paste me a link to the latest version. I understand rom manager won't work. And I saw the sticky but something about flashing the recovery from recovery didn't sound right to me.. So I'm asking. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if there is another way to root, but I believe you have to flash clockworkmod recovery and then flash an already rooted ROM to obtain root.
Hope this helped!

There's a thread in the dev section called how to mod your tmobile g2x by tga gunman. Follow that.. Also noticed that link was for O2x not G2x. Not sure if it makes a difference but I know the roms are not compatible with each other..

Rooted but no idea how to upgrade

Good day to members of xda community. I've currently rooted my butterfly (x920d Taiwan) using some Chinese guy's guide which uses DNA's recovery. So I'm stuck at the point where I want to upgrade the recovery to a working one. I'm not sure if it is possible to just switch to another recovery as I do not want to brick the phone. Neither am I asking people to brick their phones testing. I'd be glad if anyone has any advice or knowledge to guide me. Can't seem to remember if my recovery is removed or clockwork. Thanks in advance

Download latest TWRP Recovery for x920d from here -> http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/dlxub1
Flash in fastboot and done. Not sure what 'upgrade' are you mentioning ???
To be honest, I'm not so sure myself. Lol. For now, I just want a working recovery instead of an unstable one. Secondly, I'd probably want to get super su working if it's possible.
Thanks for your reply =)

Thanks v-b-n. You have my gratitude. I have no idea if I would brick my phone by trying to flash recovery as I m not sure which recovery I was using. But the good news is that it worked, so, my sincerest gratitude. Quick question. Is there n updated stock Rom out there somewhere? If so, what's the latest version? (would like to know as I need a starting point) =x
Thanks in advance once again
