Make sure you have the right image, stick it in the root of your sdcard. I assume you have rooted your device. Sooo, download the correct image, then do the following.
Download Terminal Emulator
Open it
Run the following commands:
su (this should grant you superuser access, if it doesn't, well, you have other issues)
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Change the recovery.img to whatever the image you put on your sdcard was (or just rename it to recovery.img, whatever makes you happy).
It takes a couple of seconds, but it should just write it on in there. If you did it properly, you should be able to boot in to CWM Touch. If not, well, you'll have to put something new in there. I did this to install an AT&T recovery image on my Telus S3. Your mileage may vary, and I take no responsibility for it destroying your phone or your home.
touch version is not available yet only the stander one is for 6
you can refer to the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877761
a flashable zip update was made by billard412
or the method mention above will work just rename the file to recovery.img place it under internal sd card / and run the command via terminal
I did the Terminal Emulator thing before post and put all the commands but it said recovery.img cannot find, I'm using the file name recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2att.img download from clockworkmod website and rename to recovery.img

Out of no where I got a message on my phone, saying that my sd card was unmounted. I wasn't doing anything other than I normally would. Now when I try to access my SD card, it's not even seen by the G2. I've formatted it to FAT32 and nothing, I've restarted the phone multiple times and no dice, and I have given it time to rest. I cannot seem to find the issue with this, but I have heard about some issue with the SD card latch thing. What can I do to fix this issue? Any advice would be greatly welcome
Have you tried another SD card to see if it is the phone or the SD card giving you problems?

Is it the SD card that came with the g2 or a different one?
I had this happen with a 32GB patriot class 10 I put in my G2. It would corrupt and do the exact same until I full formatted it on a PC. (long story short it's a issue with the sdcard itself and has to be formatted a special way, but it's ONLY THIS CARD).
Try a different card, if a different card works then full format the nonworking card. If that still doesn't work then there may be a off chance (a very very off chance) that the card went bad.
Went to the T-mobile store and tried 2 different sd cards. Neither of them worked... any way to fix this on my own? If not, then can I un-root my G2 without an SD? If I call up costumer care, they'll probably want me to send my G2 in and will notice it has been rooted and such. I heard somewhere that as long as it looks stock, they won't do/say anything... not sure if this is true though..

Yikes, I'm not sure if you can if it can't read a image off the sdcard to flash.
You do have a legit hardware issue that rooting couldn't cause though.
The sd slot is not fixable most likely.
But getting your phone back to stock is.
if you have an eng s-off bootloader you can usually fasboot update the PC10IM.zip if you rename it to update.zip and place it in your adb/fastboot fodler on your pc like so:
fastboot update
ot
fastboot update update.zip
not sure, it's been a while
if you have an s-on bootloader have no fear, you can still get to stock, it's a little more complicated.
find a PC10IMG.zip that has a stock recovery.img in it.
extract it and place it somwhere it is easy to locate and the path is short for ease. like c:\
download a flashable recovery update zip for the stock rom you want to load back on the device. keep it for later.
download this special recovery image:
View attachment CWM-3.0.2.4-sd-spoof.zip
extract the image and flash it from the OS, you'll need to boot your phone first then when it is up and running you need to enable usb debugging and use it to push the recovery image to your /data partition
adb push recovery.img /data
or the path is required if you put it elsewhere like c:\
adb push c:\recovery.img /data
it should be in /data/recovery.img
then open terminal or since you shoudl have adb open you can use 'adb shell' then type enter to enter a root shell
flash_image recovery /data/recovery.img
it should just spir out a
#
that means it's successful, reboot to recovery
now you will be able to push items to the root of your /data folder (or anywhere in /data really)
when you select the flash zip from recovery option it will spoof the /data folder as the /sdcard and display the contents of your /data folder rather than the /sdcard allowing you to flash without needing the sdcard to work.
now flash any stock rom from recovery.
while still in recovery you will need to flash the stock recovery image as well once you verify the stock rom is in place and boots. you will still have CWM but you wont be rooted so flashing from recovery is required. it can be flashed with the same commands you used to flash the other recovery from the OS
if you get a return of error -1 when you try to use the flash_iamge command to flash recovery PM me, i have a fix for that as well. it should be updated though not to do that any more.
ONCE YOU FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY AND STOCK ROM, unless you manually root again, which will be tricky, you are stuck.
hope this has been helpful.

S-off and S-on bootloader? Is that the same as having S-on/S-off in general?
Larry was banned this morning, apparently being helpful isnt something highly valued around here.
yeah, you achieve s-off using gfree and you can decide if you want to install the ENG bootloader.
If you did, it should say ENG S-OFF instead of SHIP S-OFF
if fastboot allows you to do anything remotely you're in a good shape and that means you probably have a ENG bootloader.
This is the tutorial for install recovery menu of your choice:
°Amon-Ra
°Clockworkmod
You need a terminal rooted
You can root with gingerbreak app
Steps:
°Download Terminal Emulator Push it to the sdcard And install it
°Download Flash_image and push it to the sdcard
°Download the Recovery Amon RA and push it to sdcard to initial flash
°Install Root Explorer and give superuser permissions
°With root explorer search the file Flash_Image
°Give a long press to it and select copy
°Lets get move to system/bin and paste it, [With R/W permissions in root explorer]
°Search in that folder flash_image and give a long press to it and select permissions and give this:
Owner: Read - Write - Execute
Group: Read - ____ - Execute
Others: Read - ____ - Execute
or 755
°Reboot
°Go to Terminal emulator and write this:
$ su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-pecan-2.2.1-GNM-drap.img
# sync
# reboot recovery
After that you can select or change the recovery to Clockworkmod only downloading and flashing in:
Choose Flash zip menu
Flash downloaded zip
Reboot and you already have Clockworkmod 5.0
If you wanna change to Amonra only download this

So, I was originally on CWM recovery non-touch 5.5.0.4 and wanted to to update to CWM recovery TOUCH 5.8.4.5 so that I could install CM10 without any hassels. I downloaded the .tar in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766552 and flashed it in ODIN right over my existing CWM. (I opened ODIN, loaded the .tar into PDA, made sure PDA was checked, put phone into download mode and plugged it in, made sure ODIN recognized it by showing me a COM#, hit start, waited until I saw "PASS" and then unplugged). Thinking everything went smoothly, I rebooted into recovery only to find that I was still on my old non-touch 5.5.0.4. What gives? Did I mess up somewhere? Am I safe to go ahead and push the recovery image in ADB? Thanks!

Use the set of instructions below instead. It's easier and it doesn't increase your flash counter. I try not to use Odin if I don't have to.
to install:
1. Rename the file to cwmtr.img to make this easier.
2. Place cwmtr.img in your root sdcard using step 3., or use your usb cable or some wifi explorer.
3. adb push cwmtr.img /sdcard/cwmtr.img * (skip this step if the file is already on your sdcard).
4. adb shell *If not using adb, and you want to use terminal emulator, start at step 5. with the file already on your sdcard.
5. su
6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7. reboot recovery
I hope this helps!

So you think I should be safe to go ahead and do it this way?
THANKS! +1
If I have a stock rooted gs3 currently running ICS and stock recovery, can I just download goo manager or ROM manager and use that app to install the custom recovery?
Or if I'm on stock recovery is Odin the only way to install a custom recovery?

you are rooted.... forget everything you know about installing recoveries and follow this instruction here:
download the clockworkmod, or any recovery you want... download it straight from it's source site, so like clockworkmod.com, wherever... you are looking for the .img file of the recovery, not the .tar....
let's assume it is named "cwm.img" ... with me so far? put that file on your sdcard of your device, not the external sd card.... and put don't put it in any folders or anything, just download it, put it on your sd card... ready? here comes the easy part
download this app... https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDMsImphY2twYWwuYW5kcm9pZHRlcm0iXQ..
open the app, and type these commands for successssss (after each 1 of these command lines, you must hit enter)
su (it will ask for root permission, grant it, your "$" icon will change to "#")
dd if=/sdcard/cwm.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery (you should see an output)
reboot recovery
you are now in your new recovery.

I'm running cwm recovery 5. Something. I'm sorry I forgot the specific build. But I want to update to build 6 touch. I downloaded cwm manager and it doesn't support i747m. Only metropcs s3. I downloaded the img file from clockworkmod. But now I have no idea on how to update my recovery. I tried using flashify app because it says it can flash images. But in the end it just broke my recovery so I had to use mobile Odin to flash back the old recovery

Follow these steps exactly and you will have the latest CWM running.
1) Download correct Clockworkmod (touch or regular as you wish) for your device from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
2) Rename it to recovery.IMG and place it at the root of your internal sdcard
3) Download and install terminal emulator from the Play Store
4) Run the terminal and
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Don't mess up the command or you WILL brick your phone.
5) Enjoy your Clockworkmod.
A little easier way is to use "mobile odin" (from the play store) and flash the recovery image from there.
Avoids the possibility of making a typing error.
