Does clockworkmod do the samething as 4 ext touch recovery?If it does then you don't have to install 4 ext touch recovery if clockworkmod is already on the phonecan I install roms using clockworkmod just like you would using 4 ext touch recovery is it just a matter of opinion of what one you want to use?And is 4 ext touch recovery just an app that I download onto my sensation.I'm sorry for the qwestion Im just stuck on this.

Clockwork.. and 4ext basically do the same thing. I just recently started using 4ext and the only difference is that 4ext a better user interface. *As a side note some roms require 4ext to flash them properly.

4ext recovery also has smart flash whitch allows users that are s on flash Rom and kernels and you can't do that with cwm if you are s on and if you do flash a Rom using cwm and your s on you will get a boot loop and you will have to extract the boot.IMG from the Rom.zip and flash it via your pc or laptop to get it to boot I don't think you want to go that rout but for me its good to know how to do these kinds of things just in case something go's wrong and you need to know the correct command to typ but for beginner's 4ext recovery is your best bet

Well for starters before you can s off you need to know what hboot you have first if its 1.17 or 1.18 or 1.27 and if its 1.27 you will need to download the kgs_utility tool and its a all in one tool that will s off root and super cid you can do it all with that tool and you have be rooted to install 4ext recovery so don't do that yet
