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.

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.

I'm sorry for being dense.
Let me see if I got this right,
The plain stock version have everything working correctly, including video but NO ROOT. - and so far super1click doesn't work.
Yours KK3 has Entropy's kernel with tweaks, rooted but no video.
correct?

You can flash the stock kernel back to get video, you'll keep root because of the custom kernel rooting it to begin with.

On a previous leak I was able to extract the zimage out of the tar and heimdall it. Alternatively I think you can also use sgs kernel flasher once extracted. Wait until someone that knows what they are talking about to verify/reject this though.

Here's the stock UCKK3 kernel in zimage format just flash it using sgs kernel flasher(in market)to get stock kernel u will lose recovery. Just flash back to Entropy's kernel using sgs flasher if u want recovery back.

All you have to do is extract the zimage from the .tar file using winrar, put it on your internal SD then flash with sgs kernel flasher.

Hmm, careful on flashing that Stock Kernel with SGS Kernel Flasher , it locked me up for a few. SAMSUNG logo freeze for the win lol.
Oh well, its fixable lol.
EDIT: Not sure what the hell I did but still cant get off the Samsung Logo lol. Heimdall didn't fix it. Headed towards GTG Now. I have never had this happen before. Anyone know exactly what I did so I dont do it again ?

ok guys little help please, been away from infuse scene a while since i got my skyrocket, my wife inherited my infuse so reverted from zues back to stock for her, well no she wants to be rooted etc.... sooo trying to refresh a little, if she is on stock leak lb3 and wants to go to dmans version i think i have to install cwm kernel via odin, which cant seem to find, install rom via cwm, then flash stock kernel via sgs kernel flasher to get all video working. Is this correct, if so could someone point me to the odin flashable kernel? please and thanks

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):

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..

Flashing CMW

I have a rooted sga4g that I just cant get cwm to flash on it I used the one click method and in cwm this is what i get

Do not use rom manger it doesn't work with our phone. Look for one of the guides or download a kernel that has cwm and flash it with sgs kernel flasher that you download from the play store
