You at least have to be unlocked and rooted. You're obviously not rooted, yet.

Have you pushed Superuser from a PC to the phone via USB? After that you can load CWM from ROM Manager.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Just being unlocked is not the same as being rooted. You need to be Unlocked AND rooted to install CWM through Root Manager. You're only half of that.

With an unlocked bootloader I simply copy the fastboot and adb files, as well as whatever recovery image I want to flash and push the recovery via fastboot... however if you aren't confident in your skills with the command prompt or fastboot there is always the all-in-one toolkit for the MT4GS that can be downloaded from its own thread in the dev forums (I don't have the link handy but it seemed to work for me on my sister's mt4gs).

I'm having trouble flashing CWM from the market as well. I've rooted (or at least I think I have) via Hasooon2000's tool and the superuser icon shows up in my drawer but when I try to run it I'm never prompted with the usual permission request, just the permission error that OP posted. I am also unable to install anything like Busybox or ROM Toolbox. It seems like the root just wasn't properly set up but none of the methods I've found actually work. I have tried to redo the rooting process, but to no avail.

I flashed CWM from Hasoon200's tool too, and can boot into it, however when I try to take a backup it just goes to a screen with the CWM logo in it and doesn't do anything. I have to pull the battery to get it to reboot.

Never had this much trouble with rooting or flashing a recovery before, but if anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
