I'm sure my phone is rooted with one-click as Rom Manager does not display a warning about not be rooted.
I've tried all the versions of CWM except ATT, etc., and none of them will allow me to do anything but reboot my phone.
What am I missing? I've read far and wide and can't find an answer regarding the correct CWM. Is it just not possible to do?
Thanks for any guidance. And again I appreciate the helpfulness of this forum.

Please pay some attention to the very forum you are posting in. As has been widely discussed, CWM is not out yet for the Sidekick 4g. It is being worked on in the post directly adjacent to yours:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109274
Also, questions go in the general forum, not the development forum.
Thanks to all
Some how I just didn't notice the post re: CWM work. Please accept my apologies.

I just tried that and it says "Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.0.2". Yet when I boot in to recovery mode it seems to be the stock recovery. Gonna try a different method now.
the cwm from rom manager is buggy afaik
you should install cwm manually, it isn't very hard and the instructions are in the cwm thread

It works with a temp CWM. Not much more hassle than having a fully installed CWM, and it works. I used the steps in this thread:

If there is a more permanent version, please let me know... not that I have a custom mod yet

This thread is old.
Try flashing the Bali or Platypus kernel and use red (voodoo) cwm.
Even on a stock rom, you should be using a third party kernel.
The dirty little secret around here is that switching out the kernel is the heart and soul of the every custom hosted here. The customs are basically rethemed touchwiz, with some apps switched out, and a few scripts. But, the real difference maker is the kernel.

I've been using the 3e recovery process I am not sure of another way without putting the recover file in system/bin.
I have been needing this all day today. Thank you!
Great for those who stock, want to install a cwm packaged rom, and don't want to have to flash a completely different rom solely to get cwm.

It's not kj6.
Also, my last attempt to use one of these kernels wasn't very successful. Had a couple of little glitches here and there and it drove me nuts.
Now the phone works perfectly on a rooted stock kj6 with junk removed, so I don't feel like risking it, especially not having CWM to backup the stock config.

I am also on stock Gingerbread, rooted, and happy with it. I'd like to install CWM *before* I start mucking about with my ROMs. ROM Manager claims to support it, but it didn't list my phone in its detected devices and then I saw here that one shouldn't use it anyway so I uninstalled it.
So what's the easiest/noobiest way to install CWM on my T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4g 2.3.6 rooted?
Heindall.... With the the kj6 kernel in the development forum.

How about you develop a new kernel? All we got is drhonks kj1 and bhundven kj6, both customs... Wait... How you plan to get cwm if you dont "custom" a kernel? Interesting, huh?
You don't need cwm to have an easy way of fixing roms if anything goes wrong, theres always odin and heimdall.

Man you're an arrogant dude. People ask for some help and you tell them to dev a new kernel! Put you're money where your mouth is.
As for the OP I think you get the idea. It's either custom or no go.
Has anybody got a version of CWM that will work on the sgs4g? I accidentally flashed the galaxy s CWM from rom manager before finding this forum. Nothing has changed on the phone, except if i boot into CWM recovery i always get verification errors.
Also, are there any ROMs for the sgs4g that is running 2.3.6?
Thanks to anybody who can help.
Get rid of ROM Manager. I've read it doesn't work well on this phone. Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380331 for a 2.3.6 ROM with the latest CWM/root/voodoo lagfix.

You should try this

When it is time to choose a package pick the one that includes the beta 2d kernel from the Kj6 collection. Learning the one click method will also give you every thing you need should you make a mistake and need to recover from a soft brick

This may just be a noob question and I hope I'm posting in the right place. I'm running 2.3.6 as well and want to flash Valhalla Final onto my device. The instructions say you must have pre-installed kernel with clockwork recovery. Do I need to use Heimdall and load a kernel with clockwork recovery or is there another way to get the CWM? I am still learning the basics of all this stuff. Forgive my ignorance.

Since you're already on GB (2.3.6) you can do this, if you're not rooted follow:

Save the wiki to your bookmarks. We're updating it constantly so you'll always get the most up to date info from there. Also spread the word when other users need help, point them to the proper section in the wiki .
Thanks to everyone for their insight. My sgs4g is no more now. Luckily, I learned a lot about flashing with it before it died. Including unbricking. Still haven't gotten heimdall to work. But I think I have been trying to run the regular exe instead of the front end. We'll see. Hopefully I get paid this week to cut on the internet again. Killing me here.

Trust me, I have searched and searched, but not found the answer to this question.
OK, I just received my SGS4G, and had no problem rooting it using super one click. It is running stock GB, as shown in my sig below. I have used TIBU to remove most of the bloat, and have installed my favorite apps. However, I have not found a thread on how to update recovery to CWM. I am not interested in flashing a new ROM at present, I just want to replace the stock recovery with one that will allow me to make Nandroids.
Thanks for any help.
I'm pretty sure that you would have to flash a kernel with cwm support

Look at the guide in my signature and go to the part about SGS Kernel Flasher. You need a custom kernel for CWM.
Worked like a charm. Backing up as we speak. Thanks!
Glad you got it. Add [SOLVED] to the thread title if u will. Thanks.
HI Gurus,
I own the samsung galaxy sgh t959v running on official tmobile stock gigerbread 2.3.6. Recently, I've tried to update it to run on JellyBean(4.1.1) trying to follow the below tutorial.
First you need the ODIN files(to go back to stock) : goo.gl/An7S (scroll down for where it says download and download the 4 files in there )
put this file in your sd card with the other one . if you dont have this file then you wont be able to use recovery mod :goo.gl/FuHFJ
Then you need to root your phone : goo.gl/oW4WO
USE THIS LINK (FOR ROOT)IF NOT FIRST ONE WORKING : dl.dropbox.com/u/13517705/SGH-
Then you gotta update your phone to CM-7 (gingerbread)(2.3.7) : goo.gl/rjFRj
then , you need chimera 2.2 ( ICS )(4.0.4) : d-h.st/uwi
and finally , you need to install panaroid android(JB)(4.1.1): goo.gl/Frl3z
gapps : goo.gl/jN55d

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You flashed vibrant (SGH-T959) ROM and recovery and not SGS 4G (SGH-T959V).
These are 2 completely different devices.
I hope you haven't bricked your phone.
Try the one-click back to stock - specifically section 2...
and if it works, flash only ROMs appearing in this forum development section.
Good luck!
It works

You can flash any of the ROMs listed in these SGS4G forums. However, make sure you read the instructions carefully for each ROM, as some require you to have already been on an ICS ROM due to file system changes. Do not flash anything for the Vibrant or any other phone or you will have serious problems. Good luck!

If you don't care for GPS - I'd go with one of our great aries 4.2.2 ROMs.

If you want a GPS on your daily driver, you'll have to flash an ICS ROM, such as
