Lenovo A7600-F(tablet) building CWM recovery from source - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok so ill start beginning, and my i say thanks to all who's posts ive read in the number of years on my many roots and custom rom installs. im trying to port cwm to my new Lenovo A7600-F 10.1 inch tablet.
i think im going about it the right way but would just like to confirm with any1 who knows what there doing
step 1
installed ubuntu ,i connected adb and the usual gear.
step 2
i gained the boot.img and recovery.img then after many many attempts i finally got into the ramdisk by using android kitchen to strip them down as other programs were doing each separately which was corrupting the files and making them unreadable.
step 3
im unsure on the process after this althou this guide is the 1 im on now ;p

i have a number of questions.
when im repacking from the tree etc i used both files to create ramdisk folder which list my dir tree etc. when i build from the tree with cm source putting the obvious fsabs uevent.rc and repack (although im not sure i need to) some say i just need to transfer a few files across to the build tree. then create a recovery. img then flash.
mine used 2 files recovery.img and boot.img to make the 1 folder(ramdisk) so will i not have to flash both them back or can i just build from tree then use the recovery.img?
instead of flashing right away i have fastboot and ive heard you can (ill use the term) soft flash which basally means i can test the cwm recovery without actually flashing it to the device is this right?
also ive been only using ubuntu for a few weeks so in as plain English as you possible can and if any1 would like the files i have so far and all the device information partitions etc ill list them below.
