SO final instructions that worked for me are as follows

1. download "odin.zip" and "su" here: https://www.box.com/shared/620b03e95cc0814fefc8 and the su (no extension) file. unzip odin anywhere you wish.

copy the 3 adb files (with odin.zip) and the su file to C:\ (root)

1.5 download stick.zip and put it on your SD card

https://www.dropbox.com/s/b65rnrnu126ttxq/stick.zip

3. turn the phone OFF then hold SPACE and P and while holding those press and hold POWER holding all 3 till .the new screen appears then press VOLUME UP (as it says on the screen) and DOWNLOADING..." should appear on the screen in yellow text. leave the phone alone and plug in the USB cable.

4. run "Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.42.exe" (you may need samsung usb drivers I already have them so not sure on this)

5. select SPHM580.ops for "OPS" and Replenish-CWM5.tar for "One Package" you may need to TICK the "one package" check box first (I needed too as it was unchecked) change nothing else.

6. hit "Start" and DO NOT REMOVE PHONE FROM USB.

7. as the phone reboots, hold "u" until CWM opens you can close odin now.

7.5 at this time you might be able to FLASH FROM SD CARD and flash the stick.zip to "stick" CWM on the phone not sure if you can do this now or wait till after you root. if it does not stick REPEAT step 4-7 after you root and then flash stick.zip when I get the next replenish I will test this and update these instructions.

8. use the volume keys to navigate to the backup (ent on the kayboard to select) and restore option and use enter to select backup. wait for it to finish completely and take you back to the the CWM main UI. backing up here creates a pure recovery, untouched by anything. CWM is NOT installed into this recovery. continue with the guide.

8.5 goto mount/system and select /system screen should change to signify this.

9. open the command prompt (type cmd.exe in search or run in the start menu, depending on your version of windows) or use some form of terminal emulator on your operating system of choice. command prompt is preferred due to the fact i know it can get the job done, but do what you will.

10. you already copied the adb and su files to C:\ so make sure your prompt says C:\ you can use the command "cd.." (no quotes) as needed till you are at c:\

11. type this in line for line, with enters in between. the blue "~#" in the later lines is the prompt you should have. do not type this. it will be in blue. (clockworkmod should still be open on your phone at this point)

I have replaced all SPACES with _ since this font makes it UNCLEAR. so wherever you see an _ you use a SPACE

adb_shell

~#mount_-o_remount,rw_-t_rfs_/dev/block/stl12_/system

~#exit

adb_push_su_/system/bin/

adb_shell

~#chmod_06755_/system/bin/su

~#reboot

once the phone reboots goto the market/play store and install super user.

THEN goto market/play store and install busy box.

Then download "Root Checker" and use it to confirm you have root.

12. if installing stick.zip did not work earlier (test by rebooting phone holding U on boot up) if no CWM then repeat steps 4-7 and flash the stick.zip now.

Done.
