Also, since our CWM is from the S4 Mini (which has extremely close specs to ours) repackaged with stock kernel and correct addresses, @bazzan here tried repackaging the boot.img with a kernel from a cm-10.2 build for serranoltexx (this is what you did, right?),
Yes I tried. Will not totally rule out that I did something wrong as this is totally new territory to me.
@ricky886 trying a few things that might fix error 7
This liink explains what is happening and a potential solution

That will not help if there is something else wrong which i think is likely. So much i really don't understand so trying a few things.
Will share progress or lack of it here
