-First update your original firmware to the latest one
-root your phone with superoneclick or flashtool (program for computer)
-unlock bootloader with flashtool
-use flashtool to flash the kernel you want
-then finally you can enter on cmw and flash your rom

why dont you just flash a prerooted or default system.img?! I assume your bootloader is unlocked else you wouldn't have recovery.

I suggest you Flash a stock kernel, then redownload the n5-1, flash again.

Use the Q&A forum to ask. This is the general forum.
Kernels are not installed through xrecovery they have to be flashed via flashtool check the zip file for a
.ftf file extract it and put in the firmwares folder of flashtool open flashtool up and select flash and select the kernel then follow the on screen instructions ok

This is kernel that ment to be flashed through Xrecovery. First you must flash stock kernel, then flash Doomlord Bootmanager V.2 for stock kernel. Then flash Rom you want. After flashing Rom and first boot (wait till your phone finish boot completely), reboot in Xrecovery and flash th 5-1 kernel (install custom zip from SDcard). Reboot again and enjoy.

I know that you can also flash kernels through recovery, but if it doesnt work, maybe is the file damaged? redownload fresh and try.again, if not workin extract it and flash via flashtool

If for locked bootloader you can flash on CWM or xRecovery or if for unlocked bootloader only flashtool

My bootloader is unlocked. I can flash stock base kernel using xrecovery. eg. I was on tjap's rom, then flashed donut's rom (both based on stock rom), to get th5-1 kernel I use xrecovery. However, if from ulbl kernel, you need to flash stock kernel using flashtool.

It's not required!
You just need unlocked bl
Flash kernel inside the zip
Boot into cwm
Do the wipes (all of them including formats)

In this thread, it said that I need to flash the kernel at final..
Kernels can be flashed before or later.... It should be flashed!
That's the point!

Is this a good idea?

Is it a good idea to install CWM before flashing the kernel, is it safe?

Yes.
And it will make the next process of installing the ROM much more easy.
The nAa kernel include the cwm, so no need to install CWM first.
But i had problems with flasging the kernel, I have a rooted phone, with unlocked bootloader, and it always says error. So I'll try again to flash it and can it brick my phone?

If you're talking about a kernel like naa-14, i think that when you flash a kernel that it comes with cwm with it, so there's no need to instal cwm before flashing kernel. If you're getting errors then just try flashing kernels without installing cwm separately.
