I am the one that made him that question on g+. I don't think he would have posted that if it wasn't relevant. As he said it is step 1. Hope we all can have aosp soon on our note 3

Please don't keep secrets lol I'm lurking trying to stay informed. People are excited about the progress being made or not made. Either way what's the benefit of radio silence when someone could come along, read up, and have something useful to add? Further more why did this get moved to general?
I think it got moved because development threads are used for actual releases, not discussions.

I moved it, it doesn't belong in original development forum.

as I wrote earlier
I was able to flash the patched kernel via safestrap recovery
and with it the phone starts
Safestrap symlinks /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 -> /dev/null

So, flashing a "flashable .zip" from a ordinary ROM .zip bundle appears to work correctly even when it contains a boot partition flash - but the factory boot image remains unmolested.

If you mean flash by hand, e.g. using dd and mcblk0p14-orig (179, 14) under safestrap, then I am mistaken in my interpretation of your comment, and my above remark can be ignored. (The kernel string at /proc/version in the new boot will be diagnostic.)
