Thanks to Joseph Mother and Inxane from SDX!

Root is required for this, and adb.

adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl5 /system
cd /system
rm recovery-from-boot.p
cd /system/etc
rm install-recovery.sh

Then flash recovery like normal.

Quote form Inxane recovery thread. UPDATE: several users have noted that some things are broken, system doesn't format properly, factory resets will brick the phone, and other strange errors. as such I warn you all that this recovery has major flaws and that I will not be working on fixing those flaws. it is up to you to fix them! good luck!

Recovery mode is vol dn, talk, end
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/inxane/intercept/recoveryv14.tar

make the following folders on your sd card (REALLY! YOU HAVE TO DO THIS FIRST!)

/sdx/updates
/sdx/zip
/sdx/backup

Recovery can now be used for flashing "update zips"
you can now make backups of your system and data, in case you want to get a little crazy with your phone (i need someone who hasn't done anything to their phone aside from flashing kernel and recovery to help me get a clean system backup so that we can provide a failsafe for other users)
you can potentially flash other kernels (when more start to crop up)
just be careful, and read as much as you can, this is both a powerful and dangerous tool.

Use the drivers here when you put the device into download mode (Vol Dn + End + Talk). Steps to flash

1. Download and install SWUpgrade for the moment from here, then install LouZiffer's patch.
2. Download the recovery and put it in C:\Program Files (Program Files (x86) if you are on 64 bit)\Samsung Electronics\SWUpgrade\Models\Binary. DELETE THE FILE ALREADY IN THERE OR YOU MAY PERMA-BRICK YOUR INTERCEPT
3. Start your Intercept in Download Mode (Vol Dn + Camera + End) and plug it into the computer. Install the driver that you can download at the top of this post.
4. Open SWUpgrade and walk through the steps.
