1. it wont effect your recovery.
2. u just flash them like u flash custom ROMS.
3. u use them to make ur phone give its best performance from hardware but
PLEASE NOTE :-
Some times they can harm your device hardware so install it at your own RISK.

I have an LG Optimus One running 2.2.2 latest firmware V10e. Recently, I rooted my device and installed ClockWorkMod Recovery and the Lagfix+OC Kernel by der_caverman. I am using the Stock ROM with that Kernel.
My question is when the official Gingerbread Update comes out by LG, will I be able to update it with the official LG software updater or will it not work because I have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed.
If not, how can I remove ClockWorkMod Recovery get my original Recovery Back???
any help would be appreciated!
I already asked the same question

If the phone is just 'rooted' and no custom ROM, would one need to follow the above steps before upgrading? Thanks

nope. you can upgrade at any time if u are staying with ur oem rom even if u are rooted. only thing is that u will lose ur root previllage after the update.
its alwayes advisable to have a custom recovery and custom rom. cause it can take nandroid backups(will save your day if anything goes wrong)

Can you please tell me can I upgrade without doing anything??? I have rooted my phone and installed AmonRa recovery, and I'm on stock rom 2.2.2 10e (I have just flashed some framework that I made on UOT kitchen).

it is risky since you have changed the frame work.if i were you i will do the following.
1)unroot the phone( if u have used gingerbreak use the same to unroot)
2)down load the original recovery from http://www.megaupload.com/?f=XGKNWZQJ and flash. thus u can getrid of amonra and get back original p500 recovery
3)reboot and hard reset and upgrade.
4) since u are now on original recovery and in unrooted condition if any thing goes wrong u can claim warrenty.
let me ask u why u need an upgrade? to get lot of crapwares? or to get amere 600mhz kernal? or to get a laggy phone with mere 60 mb of internal storage space to install all ur apps? or to have adds on every apps?
go for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
its stable,beautiful,oced and updated gingerbread.
Thanks for your answer!
And I understand you when you ask me why do I need official update, because I agree that official rom = creap And thats why the first thing that I have done when I rooted my phone was to uninstall all the bloatware from it
I will for sure flash miks rom when he base it on official gingerbread, and if I have a little time for weekend current mod that you recommended (I only hesitate because of the bugs - I know there are just a couple of them, but...). I tried yesterday francos kernel v151, but I'm experiencing color bending in lower half of a screen with it...

ya its up to you to decide...and i agree with u absolutly.but i aint had any problems with mik's 6.5.2(not using francos ker cause some error with cpu freq settings, u have to use setcpu).
Just one more question - when you said:
2)down load the original recovery from http://www.megaupload.com/?f=XGKNWZQJ and flash.

you mean to flash it from amonra recovery, right? (I know, it's a noob question, but better to be safe then sorry

yes its a flashable unsigned zip.but if u r using amonra to flash( cause it is unsigned) u have to uncheck the option "toggle signature verify" first.Amonra wont allow u to flash unsigned zips unless u do the above.
ps:if original recovery is flashed u will lose all the options in amonra and the only option will be the hard reset option.
there is a good how to section if u wish...

(I have tryed to search for the answeres, but didn't find what I needed )

yes your choice to make until a workaround .
-When You flash a custom rom using odin, how do you get clockwork mod?
You dont get clockwork mod by flashing a custom rom .
Unless the rom contains CWM in its build .
CWM and Root is the normal method .
Root + CWM .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
-Also, can you install custom roms
Yes if the rom instructions say so
stock
NO
or asop through clockwork mod on the galaxy s2?
|Take it you mean asop rom again yes if instructions say so .
-Which is safer to flash with, odin or clockwork mod?
Either but CWM is probably a bit more idiot proof .
-Could anyone recomend a stock rom please, there are so many?
Stock rom its usuall to flash the latest tested release which is KH3 .

I just now unlocked bootloader & now i want kernel with following features
1.Root
2.CWM
Every custom boot image has these
1. get custom kernel <--- you automatically got CWM
2. get custom firmware (ROM) <--- superuser included, usually pre-rooted

as i said before, custom kernel doesnt bring you root, it just gives you CWM. to get root, you need to install custom ROM (coz custom ROM usually pre-rooted) or install root manually if you wanna stick to stock ROM. to install root manually, search this forum around.

What he is looking for probably call insecure boot image. There are basically 2 different ways to give root, 1) insecure boot image 2) su binary
1) Insecure boot image basically give root access to anything, which is why many rom developers do not use since AVERAGE user who dont understand a thing about their phone, this will bring lots lots of trouble
If you want this, compile it urself. Use google
2) SU binary basically manage the root privilege to be given to certain command or apps which u usually encounter.
Use custom rom or root it urself if you want to use stock rom. If you want stock with pre-rooted, put the su binary urself here or find some stock rom with pre-root
