Stories similar to Custom Recovery wont stick on xoom verizon

I rooted my phone by odin method . Flashing clockwork mod recovery over stock recovery . And somehow I was able to install Superuser. But now when I try to reboot in recovery it takes me to stock recovery mode not custom recovery. I tried both recovery and they work for a while and after some time they dont. Why is this happening ? Su is working fine and I m on UVLH2 .

Background: I am still on ICS 4.0.4 rooted and unlocked (atleast ez unlock says im unlocked and i have superuser and voodoo says im still rooted) .

However, when I try to flash a custom recovery , ROM manager gets stuck at 100 % and closes. I have also tried installing a custom recovery via EZ recovery, and it says its flashed.

What Is ClockworkMod Recovery And How To Use It On Android

ClockworkMod – also known as Clockwork or CWM – is a custom recovery for Android phones and tablets that allows you to perform several advanced recovery, restoration, installation and maintenance operations on your Android device that aren’t possible with the stock recovery.

I was a veteran iPhone jailbreaker before I fell in love with Android. Now, I am wondering about rooting my Android device. I googled around, but couldn't find a solid answer to this question: If I install a custom ROM and recovery, is there any way I can revert BOTH (I know I will be able to revert to stock ROM if I have a Nandroid backup I think).

With all this OTA talk, I've been getting many questions about accepting and OTA while stock rooted.

IF you are stock rooted, you can't get an OTA update because you most likely have a custom recovery installed (Clockworkmod). To accept this OTA, you will need to install the STOCK recovery.
