Root Rooting Issues

Hello, I have been trying to root my android for a little while now, bricked it a few times and have been able to get back to gingerbread 2.3.3. I have gotten it to cm7(2.3.7) but my carrier network was not working so i brought it back down to 2.3.3. when i was able to get ICS on it i got a laying down droid with a red triangle on it, then it constantly rebooted. i'm back at square one with my original 2.3.3.

when i try the update.zip from recovery mode<3e> i get 'failed to verify whole-file signature and signature verification failed, operation aborted'. if i try and root i can get to cwm 5 but the phone won't boot. the vibrant logo flashes and reboots...
tried and haven't worked 4zroot,one click root, update.zip
I would like to root it and be able to use ICS

Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant on Virgin Mobile in Canada
GT-I9000M
firmware 2.3.3
baseband version I9000UGKG3
kernel 2.6.35.7-i9000gkg3
build gingerbread.gkg3

your help would so greatly be appreciated.
 
Ok, after many more days of attempts i was able to use root it with super one click, by checking the 'use adb' and it rooted.... now to unlock 3e recovery :)
