Hey I was wondering if it would be possible to install clockworkmod recovery through rom manager on a temporary root I used androot on my friends slide and I was thinking if I used rom manager to install clockworkmod then tried to install a rooted rom strieght from rom manager that would give him full root

No it will not work. What happens is rom manager sets it to flash via the stock recovery on reboot, but it can't do that without the engineering bootloader, since the stock one doesn't allow self signed update packages such as clockwork to flash, while the engineering one does. You need to have full root to flash a recovery. And also, in case you didn't already know, the mt3gs is s-on so your recovery resets on reboot anyway, requiring you to flash a recovery every time you go to it. There's your answer haha

Update thru ROM Manager
I have Rom manager installed but I don't know how to update with it. If I boot into recovery using Rom manager I get the latest clockwork, but if I reboot the phone holding down the volume down then I get the old clockwork.
How do I update to get the same version no matter how I access clockwork.
Cheers

When you use rom manager you are using the fake-flash method.
To update it permanently you need to use unrevoked, or fastboot if you have s-off.

Any non offical rom usually has a perm root in it. So yes flashing a custom rom (I'm on cm 6.1) can make the root stick
Plus all of the custom roms are better then stock lol

That's all u gotta do bro.
Correct me if im wrong but you need s off to flash clockwork recovery...so no you cant just get temp root and flash a rom.

he has s-off, but seems to be losing root when rebooting so since he has s-off his steps are correct:
temp-root, clockwork, ROM
My bad.

I've permrooted with visioanary and installed rom manager. Then I've flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager but each time I go into recovery I just get the regular recover icon, not the clockwork recovery icon or anything. I've tried this with all 3 versions of clockwork recovery on rom manager. Still only get the un modifier recovery screen. Am I doing something wrong???

i didnt use it personally i took the long route
Just flash Clockwork again from ROM Manager. It seems to usually take more than one flash before it "sticks".
I've flashed it about 20 times now into recovery. None have worked

Sounds like you only have root and not S-OFF then. S-OFF is needed to flash custom recovery.

I had read that it's not behaving consistently/predictably which leads to issues. Even though I used Visionary when I was temp rooting (the first month I had the phone) when I went to permanent root I used the gfree method.
Hey guys.
When I rooted my phone (around christmas I think), I flashed the clockwork recovery v 2.5.1.4 or something through ROM manager. Doesn't really matter which version it is... I've noticed that there are newer versions of Clockwork now, 3.1.0.1 was just released.
So: Are there any benefits to this newer custom recovery, or should I just not bother with it?
And if I choose to flash it, will i be able to restore my ROMs that are backed up with my previous version of clockwork?
And: how to flash it? Regular flash the .Zip through recovery?
Thanks in advance guys

There are a few new menu options. New script that it runs off so rarely you have to use 2.5.x.x. If you S-On then you have yo flash the recovery through terminal.
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Personally I wouldn't restore backups from 2.5.x.x so make another one if you change.

I am s-on, and thanks for your answer. I won't bother flashing it (or whatever it's called when you go through terminal) then..

Root and s-off are two different things, s-off is what allows you to flash a new recovery, ROM, etc.
As for bricking, the one-click will probably brick your device which is why it's posted everywhere to not use it.
It will never brick it doing this. Brick is from flashing bootloaders etc which you won't be doing. If things go bad when flashing a rom just download a stock rom and flash that or start over etc. Read up on rom manager and clockwork mod recovery. I'm no pro but most roms have root baked in so when you flash the rom it will have root. Worst case when you flash rom you won't have root anymore but will be very easy to get

There is no recommended 'one click' root method for the DZ/G2. If you want to flash a custom ROM your best bet is to follow the wiki here.
