How to install CWM on stock kj6?

Does anyone know how to install CWM on stock kj6? I don't want to use the custom kernel. Tried copying the recovery and update.zip but no go. Getting the signature error. Not sure what to try next.

Don't think you can have clockwork mod without a modded kernel on gingerbread.

Krylons method was for froyo. Your gonna have to go with the modded kernel to get cwm.

any reason why you dont want the rooted+cwm kernel from dr honk?

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.

Does Mobile Odin with with the SkyRocket?

I was just curious of anyone has used Mobile Odin on the skyrocket?
I just came over from the regular GS2 and I initially used Mobile Odin to put on a kernal with CWM on it so I could flash roms.
Over there everyone would talk down Rom Manager, so I am a bit hesitant in using that. I know once I get CWM on the phone I can just flash a ROM in there instead of using ROM manager, which just sounds like a more clean way to do it. Bit I have to initially get CWM on to be able to do it.
Old habits I guess. Ya get used to doing it one way and prefer to stick with it.

Mobile Odin does not work. Yet. But if enough of us send him system dumps it'll put us one step closer to him supporting our phone. Rom manager will work fine to flash cwm. Or the PC version of Odin works great too.

Yes and no LOL you need cwm to download and Install from Rom manager but for fixing permissions and stuff you could have an alternate recovery but Rom manager is made by clockworkmod so yeah

Mobile Odin doesn't increase the flash counter, right?
Also, what is the best way to do a system dump, so I can help out the effort to get this ported to our phone?

Download the app. When it starts it will say device not supported yet. Click here to perform a system dump. I guess if you had adb working on your computer you could do it that way too.

Currently on UCLB3 2.3.6 - How do I flash a custom ROM or kernel?

I did do a lot of searching around but it's information-overload and 99% of what I've read is for folks who are on something older than UCLB3.
So every time I find something that looks like it works and spend time reading it, I discover it doesn't work for UCLB3. VERY frustrating!
I can't figure out how to root UCLB3. Looks like nobody knows how to yet.
How do I get a custom ROM & kernel on here? I'd like to use Entropy's DD and a rooted stock ROM or something reliable.
Just got the phone today and it has 2.3.6 UCLB3 on it.
I have Windows so I can't use the Heimdall approach which seems to be for Linux or Apple.
I am famliar with ODB though.
edit: Currently trying to figure out how to get CWM installed so I can flash an unsecured kernel. Which should then get me the ROM's I want.
Which seems to be a "gotcha" since it looks like you need root to install CWM or you need to odin old kernel on top of the new one, which I'm worried may brick things.
edit #2: Found out you can use the Windows version of Heimdall. Didn't know there was one. Then I used this (second half of first post) to install red CWM. It soft bricked my phone but I don't care since I'm flashing something else.

I'm going to be repeating a few things already offered here, so please bear with me... If your goal is a Samsung Infuse with rooted UCLB3 do the following:
1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
1a - Since you are already on UCLB3, you can probably skip the first Heimdall and go right to post #2 - this will get you "red" CWM which will allow you to load unsigned CWM zip packages. (Main reason to do the first step is to lay down a good partition table, install a clean rom, and flash the gingerbread bootloaders).
2 - Copy rooted UCLB3 rom to your internal SD Card (not the external one). Create a folder called "!ROM!" so that it shows up first in CWM and then copy roms and other install packages there.
2a - Here's Dman's rooted, deodexed, zipaligned UCLB3 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508619
2b - If you want the stock kernel, download and copy both files linked in the first post, otherwise just the first one.
2c - If you want to keep "red" CWM (recommended) and also have video and hdmi work, copy Entropy's latest kernel to your sdcard (PM me if you want a CWM package as there is no official CWM package as of yet). Otherwise, once rooted you will need to unzip the 7z linked here, copy zimage to your sdcard, download SGS Kernel Flasher from the market and use that app to flash the kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24459243&postcount=448
3 - Next, power off phone and boot recovery using three finger technique (Vol+/Vol-/Power, release power when bottom lights go on, hold volume keys until you get red CWM).
3a - Do the following - wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, advanced-wipe dalvik cache, back to main..mounts-format system
3b - From main menu, install zip, choose zip, pick your rom and flash
3c - If you have the Entropy MHL kernel, flash this next.
3d - When done, go back and reboot
4 - Let the phone boot and then let sit for 5 min or so, then go through the initial setup process
4a - Open apps drawer, run SuperUser and update binaries - this will also confirm that you have root.
4b - Open Google market, upgrade to Play, download any utility apps you need
4c - If you are going back to the stock kernel, download SGS Kernel, copy zimage to your sdcard, and flash (note that if you do this you will lose the ability to flash other custom roms, and would have to redo qkster's CWM Heimdall)
5 - Reboot and enjoy.
If you want to explore further, here is a page with other roms listed (note that some of the info applies to froyo and some to non-ATT Infuses so read with care):

Thank you, Zen Arcade! And everyone.
I was missing the read of post #2 which included a Heimdall one-click flash of the non-secured Etropy kernel which included a CWM. I flashed that which then let me flash other ROM's and am currently on Zeus 6 with the ICS theme and loving it!
Never did figure out a way to root the factory 2.3.6 new version, but was able to flash the rooted version at one point.

cz,
that was the whole heimdall 1click idea. post #1 - rom and restore if needed.
post #2: cwm recovery to flash custom rom.
if you want root stock, dman has made a uclb3 base, deoxdex, rooted and zipaligned. you would flash that in cwm and then flash entropy newest kernel to give you everything.
that is how you would have a rooted stock uclb3...but why would you when there is vagabond..

Coming from Nexus s, new to G2X

Hi All,
just got a second line for work and i bought a g2x. got it rooted but haven't flashed a recovery yet.
is it true i can't just flash it via clockmod? on cyanogenmod's website it specifically says its the way to flash recovery but ive noticed in a few posts here that it will not flash recovery. i can really use some lights on this guys.
Thanks in advance.

To flash recovery the correct way, head on over to here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

If by clock mod you mean ROM manager, you can. But you will get your phone bricked if something goes south.
This phone is unbrickable, almost. Nvflash cwm on it and flash roms via it.
Search is your diaper friend.

So yes, and no...but yes. Confused yet?
You CAN use Rom Manager to flash a recovery and do backups / flash roms. The only issue comes up when you bork something up, and by you I mean rom manager of course, and you get a boot loop and have to pull the battery to get into recovery....you can't. It's got to do with the partitions RM uses I think. If you read enough you'll see that RM "fake flashes" CWM to your phone and you can't access it if it gets borked. Soooo you use Nvidia's NVFlash utility to flash CWM to your phones recovery partition. Then you're good to go. If you dig up the old CM7 thread, Cyanogen basically said that NVFlash replaces Fastboot for the G2x, but he uses RM from then on out.
Sooo use TGA_Gunnman's tool linked in the post above to install CWM the first time, then use RM is you so choose too. FWIW I've never used RM.

!
Thank you! got it now
i've been reading and trying the ICS roms, none seem to be as stable as a gingerbread rom.
what are you guys using?

I don't understand why people tell you to use ROM manager.
Only use nvflash to flash clockwork, and ONLY use ROM manager to rename your backups and to boot into recovery. Never use ROM manager to flash ANYTHING.
ICS ROMs are all pretty much betas for this phone. If you want stable stay with stock or cm7.

Flashoholics!!

Just trying to be helpful here, here is a faster way to get from stock one-click to JB goodness.....
After you flash to stock with antonx kernel reboot into recovery and flash bhundvens blastoff kernel, reboot recovery, now you should be in blue 5.0.2.8....flash the newest cm9, it will reboot automatically into recovery for you to flash a second time, but don't, instead flash a JB Rom, (I flashed chaos from dao) once it rebooted into recovery...jellybean recovery, I flashed the Rom plus gapps. Rom booted just fine.
So.....save a little time from completely flashing the whole rom, waiting for it to boot and rebooting into recovery just to do it again till you get where you want.....cheers
hopefully it saves you some time
************************just like everyone else says "I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE"*****************
just one-click back and start over hee hee!!!!

If you're saying flashing a kernel with CWM 5.x and then flashing a JB ROM is faster, we all know that already.

You are not flashing the kernel first technically. What you are doing is converting the file system.
However I thought all the JB roms had the mtd conversion script included. If they dont I would ask the person that ported them to update it with that script. There should never be a reason to flash to ics then jb.

Getting back to stock and rooting are totally different subjects and shouldn't be asked in ROM threads anyways. Flashing the ROM are always in the OP.

because it has always worked..
If I one-click back to stock I always
flash cm9 first then flash JB.
