Im at 4.0.4.
That was my ultimate goal to root the phone but when I tried I got the same error message
I thought that I would wipe the phone and install a ROM but to do that I need CWM

Assuming you're NOT yet rooted, I'd say, update your phone to official 4.1.2 through Kies and then follow the previous link. Will work 100% :)

Root your phone by flashing an insecure kernel e g. Philz, hirox, apolo etc via Odin. Then reboot to recovery and flash away your ROM.
If you want a kk ROM then you would require a kk compatible recovery which you can get by flashing one of these kernels - dorimanx 10.43, Gustavo's, apolo.
