[Q] CWM did not root

I reflashed my recovery partition with CWM-based recovery v5.0.2.6 and the root did not take as I tried to update binaries of the super su and tried also to run Tianium backup but that failed as could not secure root privilege. I was just messing around and went to the wipe data/fatory reset. The data/wipe completed but an Error cam in with "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!" Now the S2 just goes into a reboot loop. I read where you have to add an insecure kernel or something or other. Any ideas?.
I was reading on the forum where I do not need root to load another ROM, which is what I want to do. Fine by me just need someone to point me in the right direction. VI seemed easier than this. lol. actually i want to learn all of the file hierarchy of this android stuff. Thanks in advance.

You responded to the wrong thread Lejojaluel. If anyone can still give me a hand with my original problem I would appreciate it. Thanks.

If I wanted to load my original ROM say from the beginning or the new JB rom as far as the S2 is concerned, does KIES work with CWM?
Also, is the CWM I have a valid one? At the top of my recovery screen says in white fonts, " CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6.

Great, thanks for the reply. working long hours today and will follow the links tonight when I get home. Let you know how it goes. hit the thanks button also. great forum! I will reload the JB. The files are still in the directories by the way, maybe not the one that starts the boot, the CWM zip is still there in the download folder where I put it. And can still perform an install of the zip (CWM) from the CWM recovery, which is all I have now. When I originally installed the CWM, there was that usualy warning that you cannot undo, which is fine. Since I have odin to flash anyway.
