What is this rom manager you speak of? I've never heard of a working rom manager for this device. Does rom manager work? Perhaps the answer is posted here somewhere?

For GB, just flash (oden/heimdall/heimdall one-click) any gb kernel in the dev forum and you should get CWM (unless the kernel is a fully stock kernel, like the first one in my one-click collection).
A little lecture could help you. This has been answered like 100 times a day.
Use latestodin, flash ravers kj6 odin rom (yes, you have to be in dl mode and rom file goes in pda and i think you need to decompress the .zip file so u use the .tar) and after that just flash drhonk kj1 kernel so you can get root and cwm. Then you can flash gb roms without problem.
Theres a big post saying that Rom Manaher doesnt work wotj raver.
actualy rom manager has a Galaxy s 4G setting now so yes it does work

Actually when i got Rom Manager i had a setting for Galaxy S 4G so im guessing the answer is yes.

No. "NO" means "no".
If you don't believe me. Go ahead. Flash it, then wonder why you can't flash anything from it or do anything with it.
Everyone who has told you that it doesn't work is trying to save you time and headache.

Also, tehgyb gave you all the good links (thanks man!)
Instead of insisting on using rom mangler, you should listen and read.
If all you want is clockwork mod + root + gb, just heimdall one-click my kj6 kernel and stock rom... The link that says: Download SMS KJ6 Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders
After you run that, you can flash roms with CWM (not rom manager) as you wish, and you will always have root with that kernel.
It doesnt work man..

Haha, man it flies stock.. They're getting close on the bootloader issue, good things come with time I guess. Got the HTC Inspire $99 when I switched, then sold the Showcase for $275 + CS Blackberry Curve 2. Sold Curve the next Day for $125. So made a Total of $400 off of the Showcase deal. Found this Atrix used for 3 days with an Otterbox Defender Case for $400. Saw his AT&T receipt for it. He didnt like it, and wanted to go back to an Iphone... Even though I jumped ship I still appreciate your, and all other Devs work.
Oh, and I'm still looking for the DJ20 Voodoo. It's on one of my Computers.. lol

Ok, now that I have the kernel downloaded, how do I flash it since CWM doesn't support the Showcase?
Every time I try to flash a kernel I keep getting the stupid Amend/Edify scripting error. Sucks when trying to update this blasted phone.
Are you trying to run CWM3? That's a no go there.

Yea, if you updated your CWM via rom manager then you'll need to go flash our custom CWM 2.5.x (see phidelt's kernel/recovery post (stickied in this forum) which links to a list in the fascinate forum that has the file you need.)
Rom manager was only used to update our CWM in 2.1, post 2.1 it's not supported so you might as well save yourself some trouble and uninstall it .

Guess it doesn't really matter now anyways. Clicked the wrong button when I was using Odin to load the CWM and put my phone into a boot loop. Now to get a stock CS ROM to reload my phone.
Actually, at this point I don't care if it's stock or not, just as long as I can get something loaded back on my Showcase and get it active with CS.
my current setup is

Better buy a nomex suit cause you're about to get torched.
Wrong place for a QUESTION. Look in the Bible and there are plenty of odin flashable ROMS as well as a kernel to gain root. Hope I don't come off as offensive it's just a lot of people here are getting tired of this type of stuff(me included).

Anyways if your on GB and you want to use Odin why not flash a Dr Honk kernel you will get Cwm/ root and voodoo lagfix and ext4 aat the same time! Lol then you can flash the rom of your choice.
You can also use superoneclick 2.2 if all you want is root.

Yes i have looked and looked none of them really really help me in my search they just tell me stuff that i dont get im not new to this stuff jsut the help is confusing
Click on my "Helpful Links" signature below. Then see the Guides and Root (How to). That's about as easy as it is gonna get, apart from someone taking ur phone and doin it for ya.
Guide of Guides
I just went through the process of rooting and roming for the first time and wrote this up for a buddy of mine interested in doing the same. The fact that this is the first time I've done this should be a bit of a warning though. Still, it worked for me.
Here's basically what I did. You might want to read through them all before starting.
Backup manually by mounting your phone to your computer and copying everything you care about
Root
I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444382
From a Mac, I think you can do the same, but flash with Heimdall instead of Odin
Now that you have root, get Titanium Backup from the Market and backup
This is an awesome app, you can also use it to remove the AT&T bloatware, which will really improve your phone
Install ClockworkMod (aka, CWM)
Flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=566807&d=1302623831

flashing back to eclair as the OP said is probably easier. With 2e recovery, there's no need to modify the 3e recovery file or flash a custom kernel. Just load up cwm.zip on your SD card and flash away.

I don't know that the thing you're looking for exists right now. AdamOutler made a Heimdall-based Froyo one-click, but I don't think there is an Odin-based one.
At the moment, it looks like your choices are to use the Odin-based one-click (by Designgears or Cezar, depending on your bootloader needs), or the Heimdall-based one-click of Froyo.

The guide will show you how to use the heimdall one clicks. If you are comfortable enough doing that and are already on 2.3.6 then the antonx one click in the Heimdall One Click thread will get you rooted with custom recovery so you can install ICS flavor you like.
