What makes CWM different than CWM-based recoveries and how can CWM be modded to work with Cyandelta?

I have a SGS2 (GT-I9100G) and have it rooted and a custom rom flashed. I'm still slightly confused on the CWM recovery installed. I was under the impression CWM was installed when I rooted it with SuperSU and then loaded a CWM zip. However now I have flashed a new kernel and the CWM recovery has changed. So my question is, is CWM installed in the Kernel? Also can this be upgraded without flashing the kernel? Lastly, I have version 6.0.1.2 however on the CWM website it lists 4.0.1.5 as the latest version!? And CWM Rom manager lists this as installed...
All in all CWM confuses the hell outta me! Any clarification would be much appreciated
Im looking for the lates cwm recovery for sgs3 i have rom manager but im looking something like 4EXT recovery.thanks.
4EXT recovery is not available for s3. You can try TWRP recovery.
A while ago i rooted my phone and put a custom rom on it, liked it the got sick of it then flashed back to stock . a day or two later i instantly regretted this decision so i reverted back. This was a very drawn out process because my phone was being dumb etc, i initially tried to flash TWRP on it which worked , but it never flashed roms correctly for me , so i flashed CWM on it and that worked. flashed a rom , and it worked. I now want to flash a new rom but when i boot to recovery , TWRP is still there but when i am in Rom manager, it says CWM 6.0.3.1 is installed.
Is there a way to use odin to flash this back to stock and just flash CWM on the so i can get on with my life and flash new roms?
TL;DR
there are 2 recoveries (TWRP and CWM)
TWRP is accessible but doesn't work
need access to CWM
is there odin or a type of software i can use to solve this ?
I know i ****ed up pretty good, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Download GooManager from the Playstore. Then from GooManager run OpenRecoveryScript which will flash the latest TWRP.

I'm pretty sure that GooManager will install only TWRP. I would start there to fix your problem, since GooManager will install the recovery easily. Once you have TWRP you can switch by installing CWM if you'd like. For that, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305721
I have tried different recoveries and ROMS and they all fail telling me that I have the wrong ROM for the device. CM11 (P51xx) and the Omni ROM are just 2 that I have tried. I have the WiFi (5113) and have managed to get the MK3 (4.2.2 build) back via Odin and rooted but that's as far as I can get. Any ideas?
Have you tried to flash a custom ROM with CWM with different versions?

Yup
Make sure you are using the correct recovery for your device.
To flash KitKat Roms you need at least CWM 6.0.4.4 or newer, same for CWM based recoverys.
Latest PhilZ Touch will work too to flash KitKat too.
Else try TWRP 2.6.3.4.
Some recoverys in my thread, link in my signature.
CWM Swipe will get an update later or tomorrow to 6.0.4.7 Swipe

I have cwmr 6.0.4.7 and i need to change to cwm philz to flash ROMs (due to infinite bootloop) I have made a backup and I was just wondering will these backups work on philz recovery?

They should work, but even if they don't, you can always switch recoveries anytime, regardless of what ROM you're on.

I thought you could only change recovery on stock [emoji53]. anyways will have to try that later on.
