sounds like it's connecting fine.. and you described it right, flash the stock rom in Odin first and boot up to make sure it works or do some minor set-up, then flash the latest 8/17 CWM in Odin and immediately boot into it after, make the backup then flash whatever rom/kernel you want (Gummy 2.0 has one included and will enable voodoo lagfix on first boot)
not that hard once you do it once or twice and kinda learn how it all works and whatnot
do you. mind shooting me a download. link. of stock rom and cwm what about kernals do I need to. flash a kernal or is. that included in stock. rom as well as gummy charged

and no the stock rom does not include a custom voodoo kernel but the Gummy 2.0 package does so it will install the kernel and rom and enable voodoo lagfix on first boot (the Gummy rom package includes version 2.2.5 of that kernel I linked so it's a bit old, you can update it if you want by flashing the new one in CWM afterwards)

you don't really need to format the sd card as everything android related (not phone #'s or pictures or anything *you* put on there) will be wiped when you do the wipes in CWM

no no no stock rom in PDA first, boot up after the flash, power down and connect to Odin again and put CWM in PDA (everything goes in PDA) and flash then unplug phone after it passes and immediately boot into CWM no regular boot up.. then wipe data, dalvik (under advanced) and cache then flash Gummy or rom of your choice (custom rom build must match stock build like stock EP1W with EP1W Gummy 2.0), select reboot phone option and let the kernel activate voodoo lagfix when it boots up (may take a while)... once it starts you'll have a rooted voodoo custom rom, then you can hold the power button down until the reboot options menu comes up and select recovery to proceed to flash the updated kernel if you want
also the modems will be the ones installed with the stock rom, but you can flash new ones in Odin in the PDA section if you want

probably because the rom didn't include a custom kernel or for whatever reason it didn't make it work.. flash or reflash a custom kernel and there won't be any more problems

Thanks to Dxrta, attached is the stock recovery file needed for our Galaxy S II Skyrocket just in case you want to revert back to stock after using CWM Recovery. This could be useful when wanting to perform OTA updates.
Just flash the file via Odin by placing the .tar file in the pda.

Easy. Grab the return to stock Odin package. Using 7zip look inside the tar delete boot.img, system.img. flash away stock recovery.

No worries. I had a fellow xda member, mcmexican, check his SkyRocket to see if there was an update he had none as well.
Wierd, I used odin to flash back to stock and checked afterword and have no number under counter. Powered off and plugged in my usb jig and everything looks fine.
it tripped mine and now there is no way to reset it (yet)!
I used przekret's odin file, though, so it may be different.

Does this "unroot" the phone so it could, for instance, be sent in for warranty repair or return?
My Skyrocket is on it's way to me now to replace my old Captivate, not sure I want to root this one or leave it stock.

No this simply puts the stock android recovery on the phone instead of cwm.

Excellent. So if we flash the stock kernel and get video working again, what are we losing in the process? Sorry if this is a noobish question, I'm just now switching from galnet MIUI.

You gain video and hdmi back. You may have to make a slight change to one of the void files if you lose access to your CD card.
I see. Thank you for the help! I was told about this file before, but when I tried editing it last time I messed it up... don't you edit the last value to a different number or something? Do you know what number that is? Thank you guys for the help, I really do appreciate it, what with all these awesome leaks. :]

You will also lose your voodoo filesystem optimizations, init scripting support and the charginghacks/undervolt capabilities (if you like Entropy's kernel).

Don't you have to convert you file system back before flashing the stock rom?
Yes, I unpacked the zimage file from the .rar and sgs kernel flasher rebooted the phone automatically after applying it.

Did you disable voodoo lagfix in recovery before flashing the stock kernel? Not doing that can cause issues, if I'm understanding this correctly.

used sgs kernel flasher to flash the kernel
phone rebooted and now stuck at samsung screen
I've pulled the battery and then tried to reenter recovery mode, but no dice
I am going to try unbrick through download mode and heimdal

So here is my dilemma. I have the Galaxy S4g the stock firmware version 2.3.6 gingerbread. Since this update, my phone has become less and less stable. I therefore would like to try out some custom roms. I have my device rooted using superoneclick root.
Tried to flash CWM Final, following the instructions, including pasting recovery in the system/bin folder. Further research led me to the understanding that just using this method will not work with a device running 2.3.6.
Problem one, was when I tried to paste the recovery file, there was not in the /bin folder. I did notice that the recovery file is in the root directory of the phone. Can I replace this recovery file with the modified one in the root directory, and then will this allow me to flash CWM ?
If not, is it possible to even flash cwm onto the GS4G? IF so, I am sure that there is a how to out there somewhere.
Some help would be greatly appreciated here.

I had the same issue. recovery goes in sysbin folder.
next make sure the rom you eventually would like to use is in your root.
next you'll have to use heimedall and flash the appropriate kernal (kj6 is what I used, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380331
reboot after that and make your necessary changes to the mount system as required by the dev of your desired rom, and follow their instructions to flash.
