Search for creepyncrawly username, read all his signature links and you're good to go.

You will need to read and learn before you act. This phone is configured differently than what you are accustomed to, judging from your statement above. You won't install recovery separately on this phone, since it is built into the kernel, for instance. Most roms have flashing instructions in the OP.
Ok. Im rooted... I unlcoked it for Tmobile. and its now on 2.3.4. When i go to recovery it juts says android recovery. Im not sure if its Clockwork mod, because i havent used clockwork since the days of the Moto backflip. SO how would i go about getting Clockworkmod and then installing Slimbean.

The clear answer has already been given to you. Search for username creepyncrawly, read all the threads linked in his signature. You need to be patient, read and research for several days before attempting to flash anything. It was reckless and foolish to root before doing so.

Then your not running stock. I've read a few of the threads you've started and come to the conclusion that either you really need to read more before doing anything to your phone, or your just trolling for posts.

You need to help yourself before anyone here will be willing to help you. You've been a member for 5 months, and you've made almost 80 posts, yet your questions consistently indicate that you do not read enough to understand your phone and how it works, yet you post that you do things with your phone that you don't understand and don't know how to correct.
Odin back to stock and leave it that way until you understand what you are doing.

Search is your friend. . Look for one click return to stock, should get ya going again. For future ref, read twice, flash once. If you're diligent and follow directions here to the T you should be good to go %99 of the time.

Honestly, I looked over 50+ pages on Google, please don't teach me how to do my "research"
Maybe you should do YOUR research before not knowing something and accusing others.
When did I freak out? Did I go "WHAT THE HELL WHY IS THIS STUPID RECOVERY THING SO HARD OMG I WANNA RIP MY HAIR OUT"?
No.
In my post did I say "Give me step by step noob instructions on updating CWM recovery"?
No.
I simply asked normal procedures required to update CWM recovery.
Did you come to this thread, act like an idiot, accuse me of not doing research, and gain a couple of "Thanks" for no reason?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Next time, before you start accusing people and have a douche bag attitude, think twice before posting.
I do not need any help from XDA, thanks for the help to the people who posted, & I'll go ahead and find a different forum that actually has nice members who don't have attitudes like you. Have a great day everyone.

This qualifies as a freak out.
You were already told earlier in the thread by nicholas1520 that recovery is IN the kernel. So you cannot permanently update your recovery. (unless you compile your own kernel)
The accusation you didn't do your research is a sound one. This has been answered TONS of times. Throwing a tantrum doesn't make you right. It maybe could have been worded nicer, but he was right.

Go to www.sammobile.com download a stock firmware, flash through Odin, reroot.

As was pointed out, it's always best to give a more descriptive title than 'Please Help'. I see you've got a few people helping you, good luck with it - it's usually a step you missed (I've done the same). Always read up and understand what you're doing before you do it, saves brain cells

u have very less or even outdated rooting option on GB, better to upgrade ur phone to stock ICS v4.0.3 (dwnld the stock ICS v4.0.3 firmware pertained to ur region on www.sammobile.com and flash the same using 'ODIN'.
After successfull flash and booting of ICS on ur phone, u can use Siyah kernel( .tar file for ODIN) to root ur phone by flashing the same vide ODIN
U might have corrupted ur install. If there is no VERY important data, i would recommend you to wipe data/cache and download a new STOCK rom and install using odin hope this helps. P.S. Only use odin and stock rom it has less chances of bricking the phone.

I am not very familiar with the I9100 (I own a I9300).

By looking and reading the topics that already exist about this question instead of creating "spoon feeding" requests.
Do you seriously expect anybody to believe that you thought nobody else has even asked or discussed how to root a galaxy S2 on here??
Same way as it is with i9300, custom kernel with root.
You're kidding, right ?
This phone has been out for two years, this has been asked/answered thousand upon thousands of times & you CBA following forum rules and searching, eh ?

All I can say is check out the development section and see what rom catches your fancy. If it doesnt use the stock kernel its not compatible for the moment. Eclipse is a touchwiz rom with aosp styling so you might like that (not exactly sure if it uses stock kernel but I think it does)
