I had a similar issue. All I did was install rom manager from the market and flash clockwork recovery. Choose your phone type whether its the s or the s 4g and you should be good to go.

its in /etc, you have to rename install.recovery.sh to something else. add .bak to the end of the file name. then flashing cw via fastboot will stick.
Yea I tryed installing cwm from the market and I get am error message when trying to flash a recovery

Okay, it sounds like you have no idea what you're doing because you didn't read the guide. Rooting this phone is so extremely easy.
boot into boot loader
fastboot oem unlock
then download recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then you can boot into recovery and flash custom roms
and also since you are posting here i'm sure you didn't read the rooting guide
Ummm... did you read my first post? I'm new to samsungs and the nexus I just came from the evo read before you speak

Cool story brah, that's why there's a Q and A section, for questions and answers. I see you used the search bar too...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199987&highlight=recovery
Here's how to fix your problem.
I ran into the same problem yesterday, it looks like you flashed the 2.3.5 ROM called Full Android. It seemed to have overwritten my recovery and is not a rooted ROM. Just reflash clockwork via the sdk and pick a rooted ROM, Pete Alfonso has a great stock rooted GRJ90 ROM fyi.
Follow the one click root way. Its easy did mine in 2 minutes yesterday. Its posted in the same forum,and also theres a video.

Hey guys,
Some questions from a newcomer. I have already searched the forums but could not find a straight forward answer so your help is really appreciated.
1) How to check if my bootloader is unlocked or locked?
2) Once my clockwork recovery mod has been flashed, device is rooted and I have cyanogen mod installed, how do I go back? I mean that how to get the stock recovery, stock android, stock kernel back so it is back to normal in all aspects?
Thanks for your help guys.
1. When you turn your phone on, you should see a picture of an unlocked lock under the Google logo. If there's no pic, then its locked.
OR
Boot into ur bootloader and it says the status there
2. Odin or a nandroid

Hello I used super one click to get root.
I installed Root Explorer.
I know I have root because I get:
#
Then I type su and get
su
But when I try to open root explorer it doesn't prompt me su permissions.
Also ROM Manager won't flash recovery either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction

Download the app 'root checker' and use that to see if you really have root.

I use the root checker and it told me that I didn't have root.
I ran Super One Click and did the test again and still the same results.
I can get to su in adb but still can use any app that requires root or flash CWM Recovery.
I am going to try the video method u sent me.
I will post results.
Hopefully I can install the Maximus Ginger ROM.

Finally Worked
Ok I followed the video tutorial and I finally got root and CWM.
I am now going to attempt to install Maximus Ginger...
If you guys want to use the same method I did download and use this:
http : // tinyurl. com/ Sidekick 4GALLin One
Delete all the space in between
Its an all in one Root and Recovery...
Hope this helps those who had the same issues as me...
Thank u all for your help...

Its actually 4.0.0.2 if you're going to be anal about it...

ROMs wont install
Ok so now I have ran my SK4G through odin 5 times...Going on 6...
Root and Recovery work perfectly with that method...
But everytime I install a ROM I get stuck at the boot screen with my sidekick vibrating and restarting....
Everywhere I read it talks about the Mounts... Yes I know they are very important...
So I make sure they are what they are supposed to be when flashing the ROM...
But once the ROMs install it reboots automatically and I cant change the mounts...
I have tried both Smooth Maximus and Maximus Ginger, Lightning ROM, and Clean Fusion...
The same thing happens to me after I install any of these ROMs....
It always reboots after the installation...
Has anyone ran into this issue or can help me figure out what to do now...
Thanks Guys

After you use the All in One download ROM Manager.
Then Flash the SK4G Recovery through there.
For some reason you have to reboot into CWM recovery only by using ROM Manager.
If you reboot manually or through adb you are going to have to choose install packages then CWM Recovery will load.
I am still stuck with no custom ROM...
every rom that I install soft bricks my device and then I have to use odin to restore.
Does anyone know of a ROM that I can flash through odin that is nice like Smooth Maximus or Similar?
Thanks

Did you try flashing the stock firmware image using fastboot (a guide for 4.1.1 is here, but applicable for any google image as such)
Once you flash the stock image, you can re-root and try flashing custom ROM's
I fixed it now all I did was unroot then root my phone again. Thanks for all the help and I will use these suggestions next time if this happens. Thank you all again thank you very very much.

You did the batch clean up without flashing a new ROM? Nice...
Just nvflash to stock 2.3.4. It'll work, if you get errors use a different USB/USB slot.
There are guides that explain.
Look that the thread here for detailed instructions on how to flash recovery with nvflash. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566681
If it works properly but you can't boot into recovery then run the clear-up batch and you should be good to go (assuming it works and you can boot into recovery and flash a ROM.

nope. use fastboot to flash recovery. nexus s hacks has links to everything you need. (USB & fastboot drivers, recovery img files, and su zip files)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
replace the recovery.img with the actual filename of your recovery IMG file, then place the su zip on the root of your SD card & flash through recovery. I use cwm, but there are others available.

Maybe you can see in this wiki cyanogenMod ( iam sorry, i can not give the link because i have no permision to give the link
