1. I was in rom manager earlier and noticed it says I have both CWM and TWRP installed. I remember installing project freegee w/CWM but not TWRP. Is this an error? If so, is it an issue?
2. I'm seeing something about CWMtouch or whatever. I just installed what came with freegee. I'm not quite sure how to use adb for the updater script. Is it necessary that I install this? Is freegee using a way outdated version?
Thanks in advance.

You need to upgrade to a new recovery. The one that came with free gee is broken, so any backups you made with it are no good. I personally use sk8's recoveries, but TWRP is good to go too.

I don't use rom manager, but I'm pretty certain you can only have one recovery. Also, the updater script isn't needed either.
Someone will jump in here with more info.

[Q] My pc broke down lastnight and am not able to use adb. Is there a way to install kernels by just using the Thunderbolt?
If you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it sooooo much. I'm just a basic user so I don't know much about installing kernels besides using adb.
Thanks in advance....

which kernel are you trying to install?
there is a new kernel, that you can flash through recovery, all the older kernels out there must be pushed through ADB.

I'm trying to install Adrynalyne's 2.6.32.21 [Latest Version 1.8] [Updated 3-29-2011]. I thought that all kernels had to be pushed by adb or installed threw amon_ra because of scripts. I'm glad these new kernels don't have to be pushed anymore. Thanks for help nosympathy!

Nope. Just install and go! As a heads up: It's usually preferable to make a backup using ClockworkMod Recovery/ROM Manager before installing anything.
Well I have a backup of my stock ROM already. Should I let it back up my custom ROM as well? Will that erase the stock backup?

yeah you should prob take a backup of your current setup. the whole idea is that anytime you install something, you should have a backup in case the install goes bad (rarely does though). having a backup of your stock ROM is fine in a last resort kinda way. but i'm sure you'd rather restore right back to your custom ROM should something happen.
If you are on honeycomb you are free to flash recovery via Rom manager.
If you are on gb I am working on a compatible recovery right now. Once I get it done you will be able to use the features in Rom manager but not flash recovery via Rom manager
confirmed working with Honeycomb htcdev unlocked hboot 1.14.

Updated OP
I just rooted my view last night.. I flashed recovery once, enough to put the SU file on SD card to root. But since then, I've tried to do a backup (through ROM manager) and the white HTC screen pops up and doesn't go away. So then I tried to do it manually through hboot and when I choose recovery it does the same thing .. what do you think might be the problem? I'm very new to this so I'm hoping it is something simple that I missed... Please help
I rooted my phone way back when using one click root and I have superuser installed but never had any custom roms. Every time I use root check it does not confirm if I am rooted or not and keeps checking for what seams like an eternity. Am I missing something? Please help, I am trying to back up my current stock rom and can't get by. Thank you in advance...

Ways to get confirmed:
1. Use root checker from market.
2. Install terminal Emulator and run command su
$ su

If SuperUser popup comes out.. you are done rooting..
3. To get rooted.. Universal Androot for 2.1 - 2.3 devices.
Sorry I dont have the above mentioned files but you can have those with a little Googling.
Also you haven't mentioned your device, on which you are performing XperiMents

I guess, If its Photon4g, then go for Photon Torpedo method, and confirm the root with above.
Thanks for the reply. Every time I use root checker I just runs forever and never stops checking. But I used the cmd prompt su and and the cmd line changes from a $ to a # so that means I am rooted.

yeah. don't ever ever ever use rom manager. it's junk and doesn't work. do not use it or its recoveries. use jokers v3 or photon3 or another confirmed working recovery. NEVER USE ROM MANAGER.
Ok it's a lot to go through, but I'm going to see what I can get.

Don't call an app junk just because it does not fully work on a particular phone. It actually does work for most things.
The recoveries that u mentioned are just modified versions of the recovery built into Rom Manager.
But of course u knew that!
Try the photon torpedo direct method it will tell you if your rooted and also can apply a proper root if your root install went bad.

I have a noob question. I unlocked/rooted my phone using the CASUAL method and it put twrp recovery on there. Is it possible to switch that to clockwork mod that I am more familiar with and if so, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance.

Ah ok. From the 1-2 times I have used it it seemed fairly straight forward. I just know for things like CM10 rom it says install cwmod first then flash the rom. Is it possible to flash cm10 from twrp?

Yes it is. Just use goomanager to update it TWRP to the latest. Also I guess you could just use ROM manager to install CWM, but as stated TWRP seems to be the best for the note

Yep, you can flash it with TWRP, just make sure you are running the latest version.

Are you rooted with busybox installed? If so, use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825
If you aren't rooted, please do this first. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338816 (NOTE: If you're on Android 4.1+ you already have spritebud installed, so just download the apk and follow the instructions. No need for silly terminal checks After you've done this, download the Superuser app by Koush on the Play Store and install binaries. If they don't install, then re-do the LGPwn method until they do.)

Well that was easy. Any ROM recommendations?
Also, ROM installation is just the standard install zip, wipe, wipe and wipe again?
Actually...did this unlock the boot loader too, or is that another beast altogether?

The bootloader is ridiculously tough. @carloswii5 just made a video, it's about 30 minutes long so he goes STEP BY STEP and it's awesome. Kudos to him. Only problem is that at the time of writing this there are no links for downloading the files that he used. Anyways, the only things you really can flash are tweaks in the General Android Development Section [Developers Only]. I recommend one that has a balance on entropy generations and kernel tweaks to save battery life. My phone has never been faster!
Also, if you're looking to theme, check out my page here. I have some ROM themes you can install on stock, feel free to read on.
