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.

Flashing any kernel?

I'm led to believe that you can't flash any kernel with any ROM. Is this true, or can I flash any Vibrant kernel with any ROM?

Yes its true. You can flash any rom/kernel combo of the same os such as froyo/froyo or gingerbread/gingerbread with the exception of MIUI and CM7 kernel which will only work for those roms.

So say for example, if I were to flash the Platypus kernel while on MIUI 1.5.27, it wouldn't be a problem?

as long as the kernel is labeled with CM7/MIUI in the title, then it's safe to flash to a CM7/Miui rom.
OK thanks.

How would I flash a kernel in recovery? Do I rename the kernel to "update.zip" or just leave it as is and "install zip from sdcard"?
clockwork recovery?
if so then it doesn't really matter
Name will be irrelevant when you flash from recovery. As you stated, just go to Install from Zip, then Choose Zip file, then pick it out. No specific name is required. "update.zip" is only required when you are trying to initially flash CWM Recovery onto your phone. Otherwise, files for ROMs, Kernels, Modems, etc. can have whatever name as long as they are a .zip file.
And SGS Kernel Flasher, free on the market, is easier.

Which sgs2 model do you have?
It sounds like your flashing incorrect rom/kernel to your model or you have corrupted files.
GT-i9100 of course ,I don't understand what went wrong everything should have been simple and all the files were correct

You gotta keep flashing.
Try stock first, that will give you a clean start.
And try to get ROMs from XDA, not google.
When I tried a stock ROM I don't remember the name but it got stock on S logo and the recovery mod didn't work, and the stock ROM that was installed is I9100xxkp8

-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

Hi again .
CWM and xrecovery are both recovery versions used to flash new ROMs. You can only use one or the other. Assuming you are on stock kernel, install xrecovery as described in many tutorials.
CWM comes preinstalled with pretty much all custom kernels, which you can only use with an unlocked bootloader.
Link for xrecovery tutorial:

Please press the THANKS button if I helped .
Wait, i have to unlock the bootlpader before flashing roms in cwm?

No, not at all. CWM and xrecovery are basically the same thing. What I meant was that, if you are on a custom kernel, you don't have to install CWM again, because it is already preinstalled. You don't have to unlock your bootloader to flash a custom ROM, all you need is root and xrecovery.

Have you set the right permissions(if your using root explorer or a similar filemanager, long press the files, go to permissions and tick everything there)?

You mean Stock Recovery, CWM is a custom Recovery. Which one you've got? Stock probably... you need to have CWM installed than you can use any kernel you want.
