HELP: Flashing PhilZ from Speedmod took me to stock kernel???

[NLS]

OK here is the situation.

I have an unlocked and rooted 4.0.4 GT-N7000 that I plan to upgrade to 4.1.2 EUR area code, that just got released few hours ago to sammobile.

As is, my phone is reported as PDA:LRI, PHONE:LRB, CSC:LP8 (EUR).
I plan to update to 4.1.2 using N7000XXLT5_N7000OXXLT2_EUR.

I wanted to wipe data and cache first (I want to reinstall apps from the beggining after upgrade), so I wanted a verified "safe" kernel.
Remember I already was using a speedmod kernel and device is rooted already.

So I downloaded PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRI-AUT-3.99-signed.zip and put it to my SD to flash it using the stock recovery method.
Went in stock recovery mode, I installed zip file (it said it installed successfully) and then rebooted...

1) Now I cannot go to stock recovery mode!
2) "About" reports that I have a stock kernel!!!

3.0.15-N7000XXLRI-CL811902

So... how can this be? How can I flash PhilZ? (Is it there already? How do I start it's recovery menu?)

Note: Phone boots fine and I am still rooted (as I verified with Mobile Odin Pro).

OK even in philz it will show as a stock kernel
When you reboot you hold power-volumeup-home?
how did you flash philz? through stock recovery or PC Odin?
What section did you put it in in PC odin if thats what you used?
You may want to install Mobile Odin (from playstore) and ref lash Philz Using that
sorry I can't help anymore tonight going to bed, but ill take a look tomorrow

maybe someone else can chime in

I press power-vol-up-home yes. It boots to OS.

I flashed using stock recovery (because with speedmod pwer-vol-up-home worked fine).

I already have Mobile Odin Pro installed. How should I flash Philz again?
Any other ideas?

EDIT: I reflashed the zip using Mobile Odin Pro. Same result. It seems to install fine, but I cannot go to recovery mode.

EDIT #2: I AGAIN flashed with Mobile Odin Pro but using .tar.md5 file. It correctly recognized it is a kernel. It flashed it and rebooted to OS. I shut down the device and started it again... I press and hold vol-up + home + power (yes the buttons work fine, I tested)... AND YES!

I know I know, noob. But I wanted to know if I can flash this kernel from stock jb recovery. Also does this kernel work with any stock jb rom?
