Appreciate all the help testing! Will keep this thread around if more issues are encountered.
For the time being I'm going to close down this thread as I've posted a new official thread!
Thanks everybody, especially PirateGhost!
New official thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20926830
Goal:
Working on making kernel flashing on the HTC Vivid / Holiday a few steps easier/simpler!
Background:
The HTC unlock method has been out for the last 6 months on the HTC EVO 3D. We've developed some work around methods to make things simpler for both the developers and the users who are stuck using the HTC unlock method.
How:
Fact for EVO 3D and theory for Vivid: The HTC unlock method only allows write access to the kernel (boot partition) in either fastboot mode or the normal android mode.
This means a custom kernel can only be loaded in two modes, either through fastboot or while in the standard Android mode.
Tool:
Flash Image GUI is an application I wrote to load the kernel and modules while in standard Android mode. This eliminates the need for using fastboot which requires a computer and will eliminate the need for using the Windows dependent .bat files for automating the fastboot flashing process. This will also eliminate the need to reboot into fastboot mode.
Current Status:
An updated Flash Image GUI code to support the HTC Vivid device but need a few testers to verify it all works properly on their devices!
Testing Location:
Either post back in this thread if you're able to help or join us on IRC - irc.freenode.net #gen-dev
Testing Steps:
Would recommend joining the irc channel for more detailed assistance but if you'd prefer to test and post in this thread, here are the steps:
**Wild Child told me there is no kernel backup support yet**
Stock Kernel Signed - http://w1z4rd.net/boot.img (Thanks IanWizard)
Stock Kernel Unsigned - http://joeykrim.com/evo3d/files/boot-unsigned-holiday.img
Skip straight to Step 5. The above links can be used to restore the kernel back to 100% stock.
1) Downloading clockworkmod recovery for your device to your local desktop
2) fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
3) Make a nandroid of all partitions (will need this in case there are any issues)
4) Reboot into normal android mode
5) Install Flash Image GUI - http://joeykrim.com/evo3d/files/FlashImageGUI.apk
6) Download a kernel to flash - list provided below
7) Push kernel .zip file to /sdcard (either usb mount the device or adb push c:\downloads\kernel.zip /sdcard/kernel.zip
8) Open Flash Image GUI - make a note of the kernel version displayed at the top of the application
9) Click browse and select the kernel .zip file from the sdcard
10) Flash the Image
**11) Reboot
12) Check the kernel version to see if the process worked (Either open Flash Image GUI and kernel version information will be at the top or Menu->Setting->About Phone -> Software Version -> More.
**If you're interested in testing the flashing of a kernel and ROM combination, at step 11, reboot into the standard recovery mode, where ClockworkMod should be loaded and flash the ROM .zip file
Steps to restore previous kernel before testing
1) fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
2) Restore Nandroid created in previous section step 3
Kernels to Test Flash:
Thanks to Dodgejcr for the stock vivid kernels for testing!
Stock Kernel boot.img zip with modified kernel version to verify flash worked properly
Stock Kernel anykernel .zip with modified kernel version to verify flash worked properly
PirateGhost Telstra boot.zip - This *probably* requires the associated ROM Raider .zip to be loaded. Don't flash this kernel unless you're also flashing the ROM .zip.
Thanks for the support and willingness to test!
awesome. i just went from stock rooted to my rom using this tool.
might i suggest a 'reboot to recovery for rom flashing' button? that would complete this little project, i think.
Good idea man. I'll surely add this to the superguide once a few more people test it. Less steps is always good.

i am working with him on IRC to get a one-stop-shop for rooted users to flash a new rom. no more fastboot flash boot for the noobs!
LOL
You are still gonna keep the ROMs and kernals separate for people that would rather do it from adb/recovery right? Cause I've had terrible luck trying to take shortcuts using batches, programs and the like.

the beauty of this tool is that you dont use batches and programs on your computer
its all on the phone and will boot you to recovery to flash the rom you want (as soon as he gets all the bugs worked out. im just the guinea pig here, inputting little value)
I've have been able to flash a kernel in recovery. I was using the first compile i think. First step I did was reboot recovery from advanced then I wiped dalvik and flashed the zip containing the kernel. It seemed to work anyways.

I'm still a little weary...idk I've never really liked not having control over something like this because if my phone bricks, at least I know its my fault. But I could see the benefit being out and just downloading the ROM/kernal straight to my phone and flashing it. And I definitely see the benefit for people that don't have a single clue what their doing. Would help cut down on the same 1000 help me posts...lol.

Until now we all had to use LP1 Repack as a stepping-stone between Gingerbread and custom ICS Roms.
However, thanks to thechints, we have found an easier way to get to a fully rooted AOSP/AOKP/CM ICS from Gingerbread.
The following procedure was tested by thechints, vviz, abhisahara, and moi, and it works.
It was tested on Stunner and CM9, but could work for any ICS Rom that currently has "flash LP1 Repack" as one of the steps in its flashing instructions.
I emphasize the word 'could'. Give it a try and tell us what happened. The suggested method is safe insofar as it won't brick your device. You have a safe way back to GB via nAndroid backup or PC Odin if it fails.
The only tool that you need for the following procedure to work is AbyssNote 4.2 Kernel --> props to angelom and Chris X.
Get AbyssNote 4.2 kernel HERE.
Do not use earlier AbyssNote Kernel versions for the following procedure.
So, how to do it?
When on any rooted GB Rom:
First and foremost
Double- and triple-check if you have proper GB root!
Do not put faith in the fact that your Titanium Backup or some other root app works.
Do not use various root checkers from the Market.
Do that by trying to paste a file in /system folder -that's the only way for you to really know.
If you can do the pasting, you have root. If not, this thread is not for you.
I got several PMs from users who managed to achieve soft-bricks while still on GB. They tried to
flash AbyssNote kernel and got stuck. Do not let that happen to you.
After that:
1. download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your internal/external SD Card
Also download the ICS Rom you want to install and put it on your SD card.
2. reboot to CWMR (press and hold volume up + home + power button) and do a backup of your current system
3. after your backup is done, stay in Recovery
4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery
6. you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery (select options by tapping them, not by using the volume rocker and home button)
7. factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
9. flash the ICS Rom of your choice
10. reboot and let the Rom settle for a couple of minutes
Now comes the important part...check if you have root.
Start any Explorer with root permissions (Root Explorer, Es Explorer, X Explorer etc.).
Copy any file (a picture, txt file, MP3, whatever).
Navigate to /system folder
Change the /system folder's permissions to R/W.
Paste the file you have copied into /system.
If the pasting goes through OK, you're fully rooted.
Delete the file you've just pasted and set /system as R/O again
And that's it. Enjoy your rooted ICS Rom.
Once again, massive thanks to thechints, abhisahara, vviz and ubiquitous Dr. Ketan.
What to do if this procedure doesn't work, i.e. you don't get full ICS root
As we all know, our Notes are quirky devices. What works for most doesn't necessarily have to
work for your phone. So, if you fail to get full root:
Option 1. You will still have 90% functional ICS on your Note. Your phone will do all the usual stuff
normally. You'll probably even be able to use root apps, like Titanium. However, bear in mind that
you are stuck in the Rom you have just flashed - there is no going anywhere because your CWMR
doesn't have proper root privileges to flash things - DO NOT USE CWMR.
What you won't be able to do on your Note is
- apply themes and mods (because that involves flashing stuff through CWMR with no proper root)
- change DPI settings on your Note (you won't be able to switch to tablet mode, for instance)
Everything else should work properly. If you can live with that for a couple of weeks until the
official ICS arrives, then fine. Relax and enjoy your Rom.
Option 2. If you can't stand the thought that you don't have full root permissions then
- you can try to reboot to CWMR, flash AbyssNote 4.2 again, and try to run a GB restore.
This doesn't have high chances of success, but all is not lost even if it fails. Then
- you can use PC Odin to flash pre-rooted KJ1 stock Rom as explained by Dr. Ketan.

What does it have to do with Neo's new kernel?
So we don't need to flash cf repack through mobile Odin or PC odin anymore and just flash 1st Abyte kernel, then 2nd flash any rooted & custom ics roms? Is it correct? What is your recommended ics custom rom would u suggest?

If Neo's kernel root sticks properly, one should be able to flash an ICS Rom straight from GB, just like you would flash a GB rom from another GB rom. No need for Abyss, Repack etc.

Meaning any custom & rooted ics rom will not cause any bootloop..etc when do this directly with CF Repack. I have heard some users mentioning in other threads that bootloop will be there is no CF repack LP1 before flashing any ICS roms.......

Might be true but I honestly doubt that, as the key factor here is the recovery which I don't think Neo would use, I think he will use CWM Recovery but we shall see..

It is just name of the ROM, and the developer writes you clearly in the first blue field, in the first text line:
Android Base CM10.1.3. RC1 JellyBean
JellyBean is not ICS (ICS is 4.0.x) so you need Gapps for CM10.1x / Android 4.2.x
CyanogenMod 9 is based on ICS
HELP needed for RemICS Odin installation

This looks like a great ROM and i would like to do a one time flash using Odin
Are there any install methods using Odin. I see there is a full download on the page but it appears to be for a I9003. Have searched all over and not seen anything as yet
FYI: I am currently running DarkysROM JVQv10.2 Extreme Edition, firmware 2.3.4

This isn't meant to be flashed via Odin.
Download the rom + addons + gapps + CM9 (you don't need CM9 gapps). You can download the rom + addons from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075058
1.) Backup everything you need to- call logs, SMS, bookmarks, etc with Titanium or other methods of your choice
2.) Reboot into recovery. Perform the three wipe combo (data, cache, Dalvik)
3.) Flash CM9. You'll probably have to flash it twice- once for the kernel, another time for the rom. Let it boot.
4.) Once CM9 has booted, check that you still have reception.
5.) Reboot into recovery again and do the wipe combo. This time choose to flash the base rom. You'll need to flash it three times- once due to the incompatible partition (first flash overcomes this), another time for the kernel, a third time for the rom.
6.) Once the base rom's finished flashing, reboot. Check you still have your IMEI- you'll know if you still have reception.
7.) Reboot to recovery, flash addons (flash Addons then Addons_V1)
8.) Reboot
9.) Back to recovery (AGAIN), flash gapps.
Unfortunately a one-time flash with Odin isn't possible. But the endless flashes you have to do for RemICS V6 is well worth it

thx for your reply and apologies for getting back to you late.
If only i could do it the way you suggested but for some reason (me) i have messed the phone so that it now no longer is able to mount the external SDCard so putting the relevent zip files on the ext card is useless because in recovery mode using CWM these files fail to show.
I note that via CWM it shows the card as unmounted. If i try and do a mount it fails.
any ideas?

What about your internal storage?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk HD
Here is where my noob-ness kicks in.
What internal storage is available by default on the Note1? Is it just the internal sdcard?
what puzzled me when I last flashed with odin (repeated it a number of times as I was trying to get the device to recognise ext sd card) to get the current Darky Extreme rom on (which is working fine no problem at all) is that there was still some relic directory structure left over. These were all empty folders visible when navigating within CWM. Didn't matter what type of formatting I did they wouldn't go. To summarise: much confusion and something got twisted.
So questions arising are:
-How to nuke the internal disk/card properly so there are no remnants prior to me doing another darky reinstall?
-Then, how to copy a zip file to internal card but still have it remain after the format and wipes that would precede a zip install?
-How to fix the device to mount the ext sdcard? FYI other sdcards can't be mounted either. I have tried 4 different ones. And here's the kicker-once booted I go to file manager and there I can see and access all the files/folders on the external card!!! So it's definitely a phone problem as opposed to a sdcard problem. Something got flagged along the line.

IMPORTANT! This is NOT my work, all credits to the Genius chenxiaolong who made this available for all Galaxy S4 Variants
See original Thread [PATCHER][APP] Dual boot any ROM on all Galaxy S4 variants!
The Story:
I don´t like Touchwiz very much but for some Reasons I always have to come back to it. Maybe the Camera, sometimes the Allshare Features for Smart TV...Everybody has his Reasons to use/need it sometimes...
Untill today, I had to backup/restore between Sammy and Cyanogenmod a lot, It bugged me but I thought there is no choice till I found this Thread. First, I was a little afraid because there is a lot of Information in the OP and some stuff to do but then I thought, what may happen? Bootloop, Odin, Hard-brick,naaah, what´s Life without a little risk?
So I tried and it works !
If you want to do what I did, just follow these (very easy) Instructions.
Think about what your doing. This is your very own Device with your very own contract so please proceed at your very own risk! I have tested this exactly the way it is written down here and it worked. So if something goes wrong on your Device, don´t blame me or the Developer of this fantastic App!!
...Make sure your an owner of the international Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (i9295) (if not, tell me what happened )
...If your on a stock Sammy Rom, make sure that you are rooted and have a custom recovery installed...
...Also, you will need to delete some System Apps to free Space for secondary Rom but please don´t ask me which. There is enough Bloatware inside but a good start for me always is "HRS Hotels", "Google Maps/Mail/Plus" and so on...
1. Download the 3 Files from chenxiaolong´s Thread (not linked but you will find it...remember, this is NOT my work!)
- Dualboot Patcher
- Dualboot Switcher App
- Dualbootutility.zip
2. Download the custom Rom of your choice. In my case, I used
cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx.zip
and official Gapps
3. Install the Dualboot Patcher and run it on your Device
4. Follow its Instructions to patch your custom Rom and, if needed, also the Gapps
5. Install the Dualboot Switcher App and run it
6. Set current Kernel as "Primary ROM´s Kernel"
7. Reboot into recovery
8. Flash your patched Rom File(s)
9. Reboot (the Device will NOW boot into secondary Rom!)
10. Install Dualboot Switcher App in 2nd Rom
11. Now you can choose between primary and secondary Rom to boot
12. Done
Please press THANKS in original Thread and, if you can, donate some to chenxiaolong because this is awesome!!!
Easy, isn´t it? Yes, it is. It is exactly what I was looking for because now I can use both worlds, the beautiful and the beast
English wasn´t my Mother´s language so please excuse me for mistakes you surely will find
Greetings
Thomas
I have uploaded patched Gapps and a patched Cyanogenmod Rom here. Feel free to use
cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx_dualboot.zip
and

At what point to flash the 2nd ROM?
Hi,
To me the instructions are not very clear. At what point do I install/flash the 2nd rom. For example if my current ROM is CM10.2, how do I get a second rom (sammy) onto the phone?
Can you be a bit more precise on the steps?
Thank you very much

Hey,
if you want to flash a Sammy Rom as 2nd Rom you need to have it as a flashable zip File (you will find them here in this Forum)
This should be the 2nd step in OP then, so just continue with the list
But don´t forget to delete some Files from /system of the Stock Rom to have enough Space for both Rom inside the /system Folder of your Device.
I hope that helped ?

But i won't find a flashable zip of latest I9295XXUBML3 stock firmware in here? or can i make it myself (with Aroma)?
@d8389 posted mk3 here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45757227) and there are no big changes in ml3 I think.
But, why not flash Sammy as primary with Odin, makes things way easier

Sorry for not understanding:
I would love to do precisely that, but that way i will loose root and have to re-install CMW-recovery won't I?
I will try to figure out the steps to take:
1. Reboot into CWM and install DualBootUtilities
2 .Set CM10.2 somehow as Secondary ROM?
3. Flash your already patched CM10.2 ROM and GAPPS on 2nd ROM
4. Somehow set 1st ROM active and connect in Download-mode to ODin and Flash I9295XXUBML3.tar.md5 ?
Going in the right direction ??

Let's say you've set up a Sammy Rom completely including root and cwm recovery. The normal way as usual.
If you downloaded the already patched Files, place them somewhere you can find em.
Now, install and start the "Dualboot Switcher" app and set first Rom as primary.
Boot into Recovery.
Install the patched Files the normal way.
Reboot, phone will boot into second Rom now by default.
Once, second Rom has booted, install and run the "Dualboot Switcher" app again. Inside the App you can now choose which Rom to boot, then push reboot Button inside the App.
Done
I hope that helped but feel free to ask!

Thanks again for helping me/us...great!
Started with:
Rooted S4Active with cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx, gapps-jb-20130813-signed and CWM installed.
1. Installed SwitcherApp in CM10.2
2. Reboot into recovery and flashed cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx_dualboot and gapps-jb-20130813-signed_dualboot
- as you stated it reboots into 1st ROM and makes CM10.2 2nd
3. Rebooted into Download Mode
3. Used Odin 3.09 to install I9295XXUBML3_I9295PHNBML2_I9295XXUBML3_HOME.tar.md5
4. Rebooting now.... :fingers-crossed: I think it did not work. Looking at the Samsung glowing logo for some time now.
* This way i dit not remove files from /system so that could be the problem?

No, this way Odin will flash Sammy Rom and everything will be gone.
Now, after you flashed Sammy successfully, flash cwm recovery, root, delete some bloat and then (!) work down the list in OP
Then it will work. Without offense, you need to read more careful

LOL i think that won't work cause i put it on my Ext-SD so i first have to install the right CWM to access my Nandroid
But i will be fine, serious
I am just waiting for my apps to re-install...so i wondered...when i have 2 roms/dualboot, will the Samsung Update show me an update in the stock rom? So, like kitkat is coming next month? #ProbablyNot
Well... Back to single boot CM10.2 for now...
Didn't work out for me but I'll be back for a 2nd attempt soon.
Meanwhile: SammyStock won't update in dual boot setup (obvious)
Had to disable Knox along the way to be able to install some apps that required root privileges.

Before getting in the same mess as before:Using Nandroid restore will destroy the dualboot setup?
So titaniumbackup-restore is the way to go?
I am preparing a flasable zip of the latset firmware but i am not 100% sure it is working (still have some reading to do :laugh
Please correct me if i am wrong:
Stock-SammyROM (latest firmware: I9295XXUBML3_I9295PHNBML2_I9295XXUBML3_HOME )
1. Root with Odin
2. CWM-recovery with Odin
3. Enable Developer-mode
4. Disable Knox
5. Enable USB-debugging
6. Enable 'Install unverfied apps' and disable Google unverified app install warning
7. (can't find ADB-settings in this ROM?)
8. Install Dual Boot Switcher app
9. Set kernel 1st ROM as primary kernel
10. Remove some bloatware
11. Reboot into recovery and flash patched zip files (CM10.2 + GAPPS)
12. Reboot and install Dual Boot Switcher app in 2nd ROM
13. Install Titanium backup and restore apps+app-data

Yes, you are very close
I´d do it this way :
After a fresh install of your Sammy Stock Rom, let it set up. Then, turn of Device and restart into Download Mode
1. Root with Odin Flash this recovery with Odin
2. CWM-recovery with Odin After flash, Device will reboot, press Vol Up + Home, it will go into recovery
2a. Flash this from Recovery
2b. Reboot Device and Click on the SU App. Let it do it´s job (it will install stuff and disable KNOX)
3. Enable Developer-mode not needed
4. Disable Knox is done by SU App
5. Enable USB-debugging not needed
6. Enable 'Install unverfied apps' and disable Google unverified app install warning
7. (can't find ADB-settings in this ROM?) not there in stock and not needed
8. Install Dual Boot Switcher app
9. Set kernel 1st ROM as primary kernel
10. Remove some bloatware
10a. Apps like Google+, Maps, Samsung Bloat are good candidates for this as they are downloadable from store later or not needed at all
11. Reboot into recovery and flash patched zip files (CM10.2 + GAPPS)
12. Reboot and install Dual Boot Switcher app in 2nd ROM
13. Install Titanium backup and restore apps+app-data
Yes, there should be no Problems with TB even tho you´ll get warnings about SU. It works.
Good luck

Hi Guys. short (and maybe dumb) question but i have to be sure before messing up the phone of my friend.
I would like to flash CM11 nightlies with clockworkmod on a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000.
I have read several tutorials for flashing the GT-N7000 and i'm not sure which is the best way to do it.
It is neccesary to update or change the (current stock) kernel? Or is it possible to just copy the recovery and ROM to the SD card, boot into download mode, install from there?
Sorry i only have experience with flashing my HTC One X.
Thanks in advance,
Greetings
I am in the same possition. A friend of mine wants to help him install a custom rom to his n7000.
He has the stock samsung rom and the phone is LAGGY!!
I only have experience with flashing cm11 to my own galaxy s3 with philz touch recovery.
I am reading for 4 hours now and i am lost...
Should i only use TWRP?
but twrp has a version only for cm 10...(i havent found by searching any cm11 twrp version for n7000)
Should i use cm 10 then and all is ok??
Thanks a lot
I am reading things about installing kernel for recovery (philz touch)
After installing that, its just wipe data / cache and install Rom from Zip.
Im still bit confused about the rooting process -> Trough Zip or trough Odin.
I hope some1 can help me.
First you need root. Then you can flash a custom rom.
To root your device tgere a several ways possible. All written here in sticky threads.
Easy way via Philz Kernel. You will get custom recovery and root in in step. What Rom is currentky installed? Last five digits are enough.

Stock rom is currently installed. I uploaded a picture with the specs within an attachment
Search for XXLTA Kernel in PhilZ thread and flash this one. All written in PhilZ thread. After that take your new Rom an follow the instructions in the thread again. For CM 11 you need also Raw4 kernel first. Only after that flash the custom rom. But that's all written 100000 times here....

Yes i know, to install play store and other applications. But for the flashing part, that is enough right? The kernel, ROM and Philz Recovery?

yes that is enough but gapps are usually installed right after the ROM so having it together with the other files is a good idea.
- transfer ROM, Kernels to internal or external SD.
- flash Philz JB kernel compatible with your device [ follow the instruction in Philz kernel thread on how to flash with no yellow triangle ] and reboot then verify that root is working (just try and give a file explorer root access or install an app like root checker from playstore)
- Once root is verified reboot to recovery (you should now be in philz touch recovery) I recommend you take a nandroid backup but the choice is yours
- Wait for the backup to complete or if you are skipping backup then
a) wipe data factory reset
b) wipe cache
c) format system by going into mounts and storage
d) wipe dalvik cache
- flash raw kernel and reboot recovery.
- Now in TWRP recovery (you can again choose to do steps a to d which is totally optional) find and flash the ROM you want
- flash gapps
- reboot
That should do it
and now just in case you don't like what you flashed you can always go back to your ROM if you took a nandroid backup as suggested in the installation steps
hope it helps
Restore instructions :
I don't know if CWM recovery takes he same path to backup as Philz recovery but if it does it pretty simple
- just reboot to recovery and do the steps a to d from the above installation steps and restore backup
But in case you are not able to find backup file in CWM then do this
- reboot to recovery
- flash Philz kernel (same one you flashed during installation )
-go to advanced and select "reboot recovery"
- now you should be in Philz recovery again
- do steps from a to d again and restore
Simple

Very clear! Thank you very much. Sorry for being a noob with this but it i think you cant be too sure when you are flashing kernels. Got my Nexus S bricked once while i was flashing a custom kernel.
And i dont have any experience with flashing samsung phone. Only HTC.
Thanks again and have a good day!

I was in the same boat 2 years ago so i understand the situation I am glad i could help and if you are coming from nexus I am pretty sure you won't have any issues at all. Just one or two flashes and you will know everything
and who knows I might need your help one day as I am thinking of buying the N6 myself
oh and btw let me tell you that recovery and kernel are in the same partition for N7000 so you can't have "this kernel and that recovery" here as you would in other devices. Thus if you need a certain recovery then you have to flash a certain kernel and if you need a certain kernel then it will install the recovery that comes with it overwriting the previous one. Also even if you flash just recovery somehow, the device will restore the one with the kernel upon reboot
So yeah

it clearly says ''-Download Raw Kernel r5 and copy it to either your internal or external memory''
You have downloaded raw_kernel_r4_j43
Why is that?
Am i missing something?
My friend's n7000 runs on 4.1.2 as well and my goal is to install cm11 as well.
Saying that, which is the appropriate raw_kernel???
The kernel code name should match the currently installed TW rom (4.1.2) or should it match the CM11 rom you intend to flash (4.4.4)????
to answer my own question : In XxPixX's quide of course it says r5 so 4.4.4 )
Anyway the kernel that you have downloaded is neither r5 nor r1 (i beleive that r1 is for 4.1)
Thanks, i hope someone with more experiense would clarify that!!

yes you have to download raw kernel because CM 11 or Android Kitkat requires SE Linux compatible recovery and raw kernel is the one that has this compatibility.
If you skip raw kernel then installation will fail giving you "status 7 installation aborted" error.
Downloading the latest Raw kernel for KitKat should do it just read in the kernel thread and download the latest one for kk.
the kernel code name should match the ROM (4.1.2) the one you currently have. Download the philz JB kernel for your JB ROM(follow the steps given in philz kernel thread)
There is no requirement as such for 4.4.4 ROM

Raw Kernel 5 (download link: http://ge.tt/5fBuPYn1/v/1?c ) is the good one right. Think that should do the trick.

yes that should do it, download the k44 one
I haven't seen any videos about that but it is possible to do so but that's just using the recovery temporarily to flash a certain ROM but in the end that recovery is replaced by the ROMs kernel recovery its the same thing we are doing by using raw kernel here in these installation steps but its true that it gets a little confusing
