you have to flash a rom using cwm!
btw please post questions in general section not the dev section

ok well if a mod could move this thread...i understand how to flash it what i dont get is why i have to modify the binary to run cwm and why android commander wont run to push the file

You need to modify the binary because a stock recovery can't flash unsigned roms, which any rom not from samsung is. Android commander won't push that file because system needs to be remounted as read/write, rather than read only.

You can use my modified oneclickroot script to push the correct modified binary and install the update.zip to get you into CWM

you have to mod it to get into the right recovery and just use root explorer

download:
http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/recovery.zip (This is the recovery.)

http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/update.zip (this is the update)

http://www.4shared.com/get/HpENkmN8/...rer_v2124.html (this is root explorer.)

open the first file on your computer and take out the recovery file inside it and place it on the sd card.

place the second file on the sd card

and install the last file.

now open root explorer scroll down and find sdcard,
now open it and find recovery and long press on it. hit copy. now hit the back button once.
now find system. open it.
find bin. open it.

hit on the top mount r/w
hit paste and overwrite the file.

next, power down the device and instead of powering on regularly, press volume down+ power button you should be in the recovery mode.

if it is blue then hit install packages,
if it is red you should be good to go.

NOW YOU HAVE A CWM

thank you i was following another set of directions which apperently were wrong
