Once Koush fixes the recovery you should be able to find it in the link below:
To install:
Copy to your sdk tools folder and run:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-[version]-crespo4g.img
Here are the links:
Main recovery download page
Just tried it myself and it does NOT work. I had to flash back to standard crespo recovery.
The menu is there but all I get is black screen when any of the menus are chosen.
Can anyone confirm that this is in fact NOT working and it's not just me?

Looks like Koush added a recovery for those of us with the NS4G. This should now properly backup the wimax keys.

It's not working. It's been out for a few days now. We are waiting for him to fix it. This was supposed to be beta anyways.
Thanks for confirming. I dint's see it there before.
This started me thinking if the Samsung Epic 4G CDMA recovery wound't work better. It's got the same hardware (no NFC) and is a CDMA phone.

haha, this is actually funny because i did manage to royally eff up my ns4g yesterday, and was totally unable to fix it. my pc for some odd reason wont accept the drivers for the phone, so i had to root it with my mac. and vmware wont recognize the phones usb storage at all. i didnt want to take the time to put together another pc and load up windows just to root a phone.
so i am patiently waiting.
is there any other recovery that is recommended?

There is no 3.0.2.4 for the Nexus S 4G. You are using a Nexus S recovery. Easiest way is to download ROM Manager, select flash recovery and select "Nexus S 4G"

Just installed 3.1.0.1 from download through rom manager. Reboot into recovery. Boots to bootloader. Bootloader shows no boot or recovery image. I guess I'll download it from hear and ADB'it.

should have mentioned I tried through rom manager and all it did was boot to the boot loader. using fast boot worked like a champ though
I just flashed a deodexed rooted version of the newest OTA last night and now when I turn my phone off and try to boot into the boot loader, I can't. It just powers the phone on. Did I somehow lose root?

If any one can help i appreciate, the true i don't speak and read perfect english,
but the first steps for rooting my cell i do good, so i think i can fix my cell.
thank you for your help!
Did you do a full wipe of cache, dvalik and data before flashing Cyanogen? Sounds like you are stuck in a boot loop with a bad flash.
Boot back into the bootloader power and volume down. Then go boot into recovery and wipe all, dalvik, and cache. Then reflash cyanogenmod 7. (Did you make a backup before?)

If you are seeing them androids on them skateboards, I am assuming you are in the bootloader or in the fastboot mode already.
Choose recovery, and then reboot.
If you dont see recovery, try bootloader, then recovery and then reboot system.
Welcome to CM7. Follow Blamme instructions if youre on a black screen with Cyanogen logo. Follow Idlemonk instructions if white screen with 3 androids at bottom.

But for the OP, just power up by holding volume down & power button, then go to recovery wipe everything and reflash.

No, that will just flash the Clockworld recovery, which sucks.
If you want to do it through ROM Manager go to Download Rom, press menu, sort by downloads, and Google Apps should be the second option.
But it is better just to use the link novanosis85 gave, it would be easier to find the .zip if you manually download it.

Shouldn't be too bad of a deal, if you nandroid backed up your your rom before you flashed CyanogenMod. Just nandroid recover. If you did not back up your rom before you flashed, then you have to completely wipe everything and reboot. If it still does not load than you could have gotten a bad download. You can find info on how to fix your problem in the Evo forums.

Search on here for Gapps 20110504 or get them from the download link where you got your Cyanogen ROM. Save to root of SD and flash same way you flashed ROM.
I haven't seen anything about the updated ClockworkMod Recovery here on XDA, and I'm not sure if many others know about it. =P
Update: ClockworkMod Recovery for the Droid X has been updated to 5.0.2.0. A new blue recovery!
WARNING: This can be used on both 2nd init and blur roms; however, on blur roms you must first use Droid 2 Bootstrapper to bootstrap.
EDIT: Make sure that you're ROM Manager is up-to-date. A new version was just released that fixes bugs with flashing the new recovery.
Open ROM Manager and select 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'.
When it asks you to confirm your device select 'Droid X (2nd init)' or 'Droid X', respective to your current rom.
It should then download and install ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0.
Reboot hy holding the power button and selecting Reboot > recovery, or rebooting to recovery from ROM Manager. Enjoy your new blue recovery ^_^
EDIT: In MIUI on the Defy base you must use `CWM Recovery' from the reboot menu to access ClockworkMod Recovery.

Thank you Captain Obvious j/k
I get kind of tired of hearing my wife say "what are you doing to your phone now?" if I reinstall a ROM too much in one week LOL
Yea still no luck
Did the following (based on a suggestion in the Rootzwiki forum):
- Fully removed RM & the Premium license files
- rebooted
- reinstalled RM & Premium license
- Cleared Download cache in RM
- re-installed CWM 2.5.0.8 (chose Droid X)
- Cleared Download Cache
- updated CWM to 4.0.0.5 (choosing DX 2nd-init)
- reboot
- no luck
Gonna try removing RM again & going straight to CWM 4.0.0.5 to see if that works.

I got mine working now An update came out (v4.3.2.3) which mentioned a fix for this exact problem & it updated properly for me too. I did notice that cache partition wiping is not as fast as v2.5.0.8 but who cares...IT'S ORANGE!
I know right, that is some sexy orange. One thing though is I've heard that you can only use backups made with 4.0.0.5, haven't actually run into myself since I cull my backups every once and a while to free up SD card space, and that some update zips won't work anymore because the new clockwork requires another file inside of it, my memory is failing me on what that file exactly is.
How is the 2nd inti different from Koushs recovery? I heard it had something specifically to do with CM7. But why cant they use the normal CWM. Wasn't obsidian able to use the regular CWM it was almost pure AOSP besides the kernel. So why the change? Just curious why it is needed.

MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP ANY USEFUL INFORMATION OR APPS FROM YOUR PHONE, BECAUSE YOUR ROM IS GOING TO BE WIPED.
First download the attachment. Remove the numbers from the name of the file so that it is renamed PC36IMG and place this on the root of your SD card. Power off the phone, then boot into your bootloader by holding the volume down and power buttons at the same time. Accept the update. If everything went OK, that should get rid of that Revolutionary at the top of your bootloader and flash the phone back to S-ON.
Next remove the file from your SD card by either rebooting your phone or going into your RECOVERY. I'm not going to give all the details for this.
Next, download this file.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VSFLE9CD
Rename it PC36IMG, place it on your SD card and follow the same steps as you did with the first PC36IMG file.
Let me know if that worked, because how to unroot the phone has seemed to be forgotten around here. Everyone is just happy to root.

That doesn't work completely for Gingerbread.
You can downgrade the ROM back to Froyo, but the S-ON tool will not work with the new bootloader, and the bootloader will not downgrade by running any of the PC36IMG Froyo files or RUUs if Revolutionary was used to turn S-OFF.
Assuming that you mean to unroot and regain S-OFF on an Evo 4G that was rooted using Revolutionary...
It seems that this has been worked out.

You need to flash an unrooted stock ROM to roll back your HBOOT to an upgradable version. I assume you used the modded 6.17 HBOOT to S-ON, but didn't flash a stock ROM to restore your HBOOT to stock?
Because the modded HBOOT is a higher version number than Revolutionary, most likely it believes you're already rooted.
I used RUU to update my phone to latest stock Rom and flashed the attachment on this thread

You essentially have two options:
