I have rooted my phone. Will my phone be bricked if i remove external sd card and have also installed cwm which is there in sd card.??

Typically, when people say they installed CWM, they mean they installed a custom recovery. This means they flashed custom software on their device's recovery partition, which is internal memory. Removing the SD card will not, then, prevent you from booting into recovery (CWM), you just won't be able to do anything which requires access to the SD card (like nandroid backup).

If you're asking these kinds of questions, you probably shouldn't even be rooting your phone. Read, it's invaluable...

I know this may be a stupid question, the G2X did not come with an SD Card, so is there a way to flash a custom ROM without an SD Card?

Yes there is!! Go over to the development section and read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715 you would have to.
1.root
2.install INTERNAL recovery via nvfash
3. Flash away...
Internal recovery will let you flash stuff in the g2x internal storage..thus eliminating the need of sd card.
G2X
Yep. Flash the latest internal SD version of cwm in the Dev section

NvFlash has been updated to use internal or external by Krylon360!
Read some more!
.....
Kept reading, and did not see anything about internal...and if I wanted a ROM, I would have to place it on the SD Card, I am just going to get one of the Gingerbread ROM's, but my question is, how is the battery life, is it still horrible? Can someone post a video tutorial about how to internal recovery via nvfash? Internal recovery is Clockwork Mod Recovery Correct? I am coming from installing custom ROMS on the HTC HD2, so I am not new to this, but I would like a video step by step, and even if I get that far, I have to put the ROM I want on the SD Card which I do not have, in order to flash it....
Sorry for the questions, I just want to make sure I have the correct video and info, so I do not brick my phone
I am attempting to root my Xoom LTE (US) to EOS-Stingray-18 ICS.
So far I have unlocked, placed EOS-stingray-18.zip onto my SD card, booted into recovery with ClockworkMod v 4.0.0.4 but when I go to choose zip from sdcard the directories from internal storage (Alarms/, Android/, DCIM/ ...) are listed and I don't appear to be able to access the SD card. I have a 32M card in place and can view the files on the card if I boot up normally.
This is the first time I have tried to root my Xoom (or anything) so may be making some stupid mistake but would appreciate any help.

Stupid mistake is flashing that recovery.

That thread has the custom ClockworkMod recovery you need...
Or a better recovery..

Both good options...it's a matter of personal preference.
Thanks for the help. I used the Rogue Recovery and it worked!
Here's my question, the roms I've installed from the zips that I have placed on my sd to flash, can these be deleted off the sd card after they have been flashed since I've got nandroid backups of these roms which have been saved to internal.

Easy answer, yes.
My opinion, keep one in case your backups fail and your stuck (seen it happen a couple times). Then you have something to flash to get back quickly.

Absolutely, just keep at least one sure fire way of keeping a Rom whether it's a nandroid or the zip file of a Rom. Been in a few situations where my phone couldn't boot and had no Rom on my internal or external sd and had to hijack my parents phone to put a Rom on the external sd to flash.
Thank you was thinking of reformatting my extsd and didn't want to screw things up.

when i go to backup my rom in clockwork it wont let me back up to ext sd it says cant find ext sd is that a reason because i have a 64gb sd or whats the issue thanks
Make sure your sd card is formatted to Fat32. You'll lose the ability to transfer >4gb files.

Thanks i kinda figured that was the issue that it doesnt support exflat. how would i go about installing team win recovery if i have clockworkmod installed same way with odin? i know team win supports exflat
Another question that pop in my mind would i be able to back up my rom on a differnt sd card with clockwork.

Just download "GooManager" from the Play Store. Press your menu button and select "Install Open Recovery Script" and the latest TWRP will install.
In regards to CWM and two sd cards. Sure can, but who really uses two external sd cards for one phone?

It is okay to do a full format for your internal memory, if and only if you don't need anything on your SD card. Be sure to have copied everything you need to another storage before proceeding. But how can you flash a ROM from CWM if you formated everything. Just format after flashing the ROM not before.
Why you can't backup using CWM?

If the ROM is on an external sdcard, it shouldn't matter. still, that is good advice, as accidents happen. For instance, when i started using twrp I formatted my external sdcard instead of my internal, and lost my backups. Live and learn..

CWM will not backup my ROM and i think there might be some corruption on the SD card because CWM goes throught the motion of backing up the rom but says it cannot find SD card or SD ext.
Can i reinstall CWM over its-self?
thanks

Are you certain there is no backup? I know i have had it say something like, can not find SD ext skipping SD ext, or something, when using cwm, and it really didn't matter. Uhm, but yeah, you can always reflash it or try another custom recovery, like twrp.

Yes, you can reinstall it over itself. Have you also tried to backup to external sd?

What i have learned is that in JB 4.2. CWM put these backups in a safe place on the SD card (cannot find the with a file explorer) but when i use CWM to ro restore my image it does it 100%
Don't know how to backup to ext SD.
thanks

If you use Philz touch recovery you will find the option to backup to external sd. I don't remember if it's possible with Cwm too.
