New to repacking kernels, how to?

Although I have been rooting and flashing for quite some time now, I am new to the kernel-module-repack part.
I am willing to use the xm kernel with the newest insertcoin 18.0.2.
I noticed the boot.img is located in the downloadable zip file. Am I correct in saying:
-the boot.img inside the zip file must be extracted and repacked. And flashed in bootloader
-the zip file as a whole is the 'module' and must be installed in recovery
Does the zip file not make conflict because the original non-repacked boot.img is present in the zip?

No, it won't conflict because our phone is S-ON > boot images in flashable zips do not get flashed at all.

[Q] Any 1 here experienced with kernels? Need your help for my Kitchen.

Ok firstly this may seem a bit confusing, I am copying this from a PM i sent to @wedgess
Hi, I am wondering if you would be able to make a bootable recovery image with TWRP as i have no idea how to do it and i can only find CWM ones which requires signature for "--update_package="
I don't want a kernel and i don't want a cwm image but i want just simple a TWRP recovery.img which is bootable like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493996 but TWRP instead
Your kernel's work fine but i need it to boot a recovery.img then flash the new rom via "--update_package=" and then reboot device.
For more information check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391169
I hope you can help, Thanks.
-------------------------------
TWRP works great with both the last 2 options so i need to some how create a bootable recovery img based on TWRP but i don't have a clue about kernel development... Could i maybe replace ramdisk with existing bootable recovery or something?
-------------------------------
So to put it simply, I need to switch out CWM on this recovery.img and put TWRP on it (The reasons for this are complicated to explain but i would be extremely thankful if any one could help and credit will be giviven)
So please can any one help me Thanks.

Sorry I didn't reply to your final PM as I said due to real life and limited time I cannot do it for you, But happy to help assisting you if needed. Championswimmer has a tutuorial on what to change in the device tree for TWRP. Search function is down ATM so I can't link you to the thread.

Yeah no worries, Decided to ask any one else, As i really don't have the time to do this aswell as all the other stuff im doing. And it will take some one with experience a lot less time.
I tried switching out the /sbin folder but it didn't work and i didn't expect it to
I am hoping to find some 1 with a linux enviroment all sorted as i don't have a clue when it comes to kernels. surely there is a simple way to switch out a prebuiilt CWM Recovery with a TWRP recovery? Do you know what files TWRP and CWM use?
Thanks.
Altenatively any ideas on what needs to be changed to boot it to recovery always? if so i could modify a existing TWRP kernel (yours for example) and then force it to recovery.
EDIT
I assume you meant this guide?
PORT TO STOCK/ICS/YOU-FAVOURITE-KERNEL
A boot.img consists of the kernel image and the ramdisk (additionally and optionally RPM.bin and commandline). If you want to use TWRP for some other kernel, you have to do this
1. decompile this boot.img (for 2011 models it's a true boot.img, for 2012 models, it's actually a kernel.elf file renamed to boot.img, so you have to decompile accourdingly. you can use my kernel kitchen to do the same)
2. replace the kernel zImage with the one from the kernel you want to port to
3. replace /sbin/ramdisk.cpio with the "UNCOMPRESSED" ramdisk of the kernel you want to port this to. (usually ramdisk is compressed with gzip i.e. ramdisk.cpio.gz. you need to uncompressed ramdisk image i.e. ramdisk.cpio)
4. do not touch anyother thing
5. pack it up into a boot.img (for 2011) or kernel.elf (for 2012) and fastboot it

@wedgess ok so i got it working it now auto boots to TWRP but ADB isn't working, Any ideas?
Thanks so much i got it all working that guide helped

I am curious of what you are trying to do...
As i understand you want:
-flash (only) twrp recovery in fastboot mode
-reboot to recovery and flash rom from pc (adb sideload maybe?)
-reboot to fastboot again to flash kernel
-reboot
If i understand correctly you want to flash ROM (and kernel) from PC side, not dong it from phone?

ok this is what happens
1. Download rom and kernel from my kitchen via helper application on windows
2. verifiy md5's
3. fastboot fllash new kernel
4. fastboot boot "recovery.img"
5. once in the new bootable recovery i created/edited, send adb command "adb shell" > recovery --update_package=ROM
6. wait for rom to install, reboot
7. DONE! new rom and kernel flashed
All done automagically and without any user interaction other than picking the rom.

STEP 2 : Extract the stock rom to CLOKWORKMOD/PHILZ/TWRP in sdcard/sdcard1
IF YOU CANT FIND THIS FOLDER > YOU CAN BACKUP YOUR ROM AND CANCEL IN BETWEEN SO THE FOLDER IS CREATED AUTOMATICALLY
STEP 3 : select restore or advance restore

P.S. Can you give the link for Indian Stock ROM.

Thanks.. i followed the procedure suggested by you. Really it is working. Is there any possibility to edit the source code and (As per my customization) compile, generating the images and flashing back. If yes which cross compile tool is required and how to get source code.

Hi Persona78, first can i say what a fantastic job you have done, most of my research on the idol 3 4.7 points back to you, hats off sir!
I'm still having a problem and i'm really at a loss here after about a week of no returns.
adb refuses to recognise my 6039y when in bootloader so i cannot flash recovery, or ROM, or any command. I have all drivers installed correctly, vendor id of 0x1bbb is set in a.ini file in adb_usb.ini, i keep search for different approaches but turning up nothing!
Are there anything to suggest? I would be most appreciative!
Thanks, Marlin
