Questions about the kernels techpad c981

Hi I have a dual TechPad C981, this has the 3.3.0 kernel weidi @ brn-weidi # 3 and andoid 4.2.2, I want to install AOSP kitkat KK, I am new to android and I have several questions.
How do I know if my tablet supports kernel KK?
if not
* Can I compile KK with stock kernel?
or
How to compile the driver modules?
and
I searched the sources and can not find them, I have just the firmware which is a img
Can I extract the kernel and drivers from the img or the device?
and finally
to install the firmware 1.6 installed with Phoenix to record the firmware.
What if my rom does not work, thus I reinstall the original firmware with Phoenix?
I've been using linux long time, i know java, c, c #
thanks for reading

Using a pre-built MTK6589/8389 kernel in a custom (Lollipop) ROM

I've got an old Lenovo S6000 which, like every other Mediatek device, has incomplete source code for the drivers and the kernel. As a small project, I would like to try and get Android Lollipop up and running to an extent where:
the system boots to the GUI;
the Wi-Fi works;
and the touchscreen works.
just to start off.
The device currently is rooted, with ClockworkMod recovery installed, and I can create Android back-ups of the system. Could I potentially take the kernel and the proprietary blobs and build them in to a CyanogenMod 12 update? Or would the kernel have to be patched to support the new features in Lollipop (the current OS running on the device is Android 4.2.2, and there have been no other working attempts to create a custom ROM for the device)?
Thanks,
George
Sir I want to know Mediatek 6589 3.4.5 kernel can be used with any custom lollipop ROM or it need development for doing that? what can be done to update device with latest android ROM, what is required for developing ROM and kernel? Do all Mediatek 6589 chipsets share same kernel? because sony has released the source code for 3.4.5 kernel but I don't know how to use it for development of new ROM with latest android, how cyanogen do that?

Ok so before I soft brick again my phone....
We all know PokemonGo is out there, but theres the issue where I need at least Kitkat to run it.

Jellybean 4.2.2

So my question is, is it possible to upgrade this china phone firmware?
