Isn't OP wrong in saying that you can't flash modified recovery? I'm pretty sure invisiblek has flashed cwm just fine. Plus he put a kernel on there. No disrespect, I just wanna make sure all these threads present consistent info.
Last I read was he was able to flash a custom image to the recovery partition but it still wouldn't boot, did he get it to boot up

cause than you'd loose the custom kernel. BUt there is most likely a way to have both, if they're is enough room on the partition.
Right, so you can flash over recovery. Whether it is a custom kernel OR cwm (at the moment,) you can flash over recovery. The OP in this thread says that's not possible.
You can, however, this whole process circumvents or "tricks" the bootloader by going through the recovery partition so the kernel doesn't stick. Basically if you reboot your phone, you're back to the stock kernel again, which is why this is more of a proof of concept type deal right now.
I think what needs to be taken away from this is Samsung was nice enough to leave some holes to possibly exploit. The devs know there are ways around the bootloader problem right now, it's just that in the current state it's not really a feasible workaround. But that will come with time.
Excuse my tardism on asking this, but why is it insecure kernel... Will there be a secure one.. is there a difference or am I just nuking this idea?

I read that. I just didn't understand that was the reasoning. Thank you

I'd doesn't have the same checksum as the regular one. We could use this one to test the bootloader

57Hi Guys,
Verizon model is protected from flashing unsigned/modified boot.img and recovery.img. Which means there is no known root method as for now for SCH-I535.
Stay tuned for more informations as we are doing research now.
Rooted stock boot.img issue:
CWM Recovery.img flash issue:
Research status: 10%
Update [7/7/2012]
News about locked Verizon model is spreading over the websites and main tech-related portals. Hopefully we will get some detailed info soon.
Update [7/7/2012]
It looks like it has been rooted by using system.img trick (system.img is not signed)

I was eager to try and flash that insecure image, but perhaps its better I didn't.
I don't know how to dump what I have, but I'm willing to do it if someone can instruct me.
