As far as I can tell by examining the install script, this is not a permanent install.
Everytime you reboot, it will go back to the original CWM and you will have to run the install again to get this recovery.

You are right. It works perfectly. Does backups and installs but won't stick. How can we make it stick sfhub? By packing it into a stock kernel?

Yes, pack it into a stock kernel and flash/install the resulting kernel.
Curious, have you tried flashing the modem?

You would basically need to be one heck of a kernel developer to make anything below 2.3 work on this phone. As cool as it would be, we want to move forward with development... Not backwards.

What you should do is turn the i7 into am osx86 machine. I had osx10.6 running perfectly on my and phenom. Took about 48 total hours to get everything tweaked right but you get such a great feeling of accomplishment afterwards. Just like booting Damn Small Linux on an Xbox OG.

Unknown for 4G

Precursor: I have tried multiple roms both ICS and JB.
Ever since I rooted GB27 after doing all the OTA after getting my referb I can't turn 4G on. The status goes from Unknown to Enabling back to Unknown. I have 3G just fine, can connect to Wifi just fine, just can't enable 4G. Any ideas? I've tried a couple different things I've found here but so far nothing is working. My next step is reflashing my ROM with no external SD card in.

Have you tried flashing different modems? If you are running GB27, then you have to run a jb modem. But you can't flash modems through mobile Odin, has to be done through pc or cwm.

The modem is separate from 4G. have seen something like this before and it was a hardware issue... Another instance was because of a virus protection app that was installed on the users device.
