Try this one, it worked for me:
g900h-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7(0404).tar
@Phil3759 for your info, @Chenglu CWM for G900H runs without issues. Maybe you should check it to release another test file of your recovery.
Cheers,

I know
I just prefer using another approach
Stock kernel is too big in your case
Still waiting for someone providing results from:
Code:
cat /proc/partitions
I will try to compile a light version based on stock kernel this time, and debug it once it boots

Many thanks
I can now continue debugging and using a kernel compiled from source
Never thought exynos also would use separated dt.img to handle dtc info

i will test it in few hours and i report back

It works... I flashed the zip from chenglu cwm recovery. Thank you @Philz3759. Maybe you should also provide an Odin .tar file for those who can't flash it from a previous cwm recovery (not already installed)

Great and thank you
Once final, I will provide zip and tar
I will release a v3, a bit experimental, but hope it works

v3 experimental
http://d-h.st/rBr
I hope someone can test this experimental build
I used a prebuilt dt.img combined with a compiled kernel from source
v2 was fine but I prefer having a cleaner solution by building kernel from sources. The issue is that I did not find how to build the dt.img file as dtb files are not built during make provided by Samsung
At worst, it won't boot to recovery and you have to use odin to flash another recovery or previous v2

OK, flashed. Unfortunatelly, phone during reboots were going straight into download mode with red info saying: "cannot boot normal mode" or similar.
restored previous revovery and all seems fine.

I was expecting it as dtb must be compiled along kernel
However, Samsung sources are not compiling the needed dtb files needed by dtbtool
I am trying to learn how to compile dtb files from the dts scripts along the zImage
However, without a guinea pig device, it is time expensive
Meanwhile, I will provide you with a decent build using a cracked adbd binary to have adb shell with root privileges
I notify @Chenglu as he did a huge work on the dtbtool part

---

Found this reading:
http://www.armadeus.com/wiki/index.php?title=Kernel-with-device-tree
Will work from there and try a v4 soon

---

I could generate the dtb files
However, there is only dtbTool for Qcom
Dropping this until we have more decent sources from a developer more used to kernels or Samsung releases info for it if not yet
