You need to flash the cwm kernel in odin. it can be found here:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316769
it is under the tools section
Recovery Bin (adryntest4.tar-odin flash):
as well as odin.
To flash: (everything I reference here can be found in the thread above)
1 download odin, and samsung drivers.
2 Install the drivers, following driver pack isntructions
3 unzip odin to your desktop, and open it.
4 place your phone into download mode by powering off, then holding vol down and power at the same time until you have a large yellow triange and "do not turn off target"
5 plug into your computer, and give the drivers a few seconds to do final install (you will get a message in your quicklaunch telling you when your 'device is ready to use')
6 odin should detect your device, and give you com and a couple of numbers in a small box, just underneath a larger one on the upper left corner.
7 click pda and find the recovery file you downloaded, and then click ok
8 make sure repartition and autoreboot are UNCHECKED. f. reset time doesn't matter.
9 hit start. it should take less than 10 seconds. when you get 'pass, reset and rqt closed you are done. I'd wait for removed as well. the pass and reset will appear in the large box in upper left, and the rqt closed and removed will be in the large box on the lower left.
reboot int recovery, then get into cwm as you have been trying.
