People, there are TWO guides regarding porting, both of which work on Kit Kat roms (although the kernels listed in those guides do not work on KK):

and

rkgarg offering to help is valiant, but it isn't needed at this time - please search before posting questions that have been answered numerous times, especially over the course of 2 years of this phone's life.

Regarding the kernels, only RenderBroken's KK kernels will work on 4.4+ at this moment for the i777.

Please do a bit more research before posting questions... and especially flashing firmware when you're not at all familiar with the necessary porting steps.

Dear first tell me current status of your i777

Modem version
If Rooted then kernel details
Ok, I have installed the JellySNAP 4.1.2 its based in stock firmware, with Jeboo Kernel 2.3a, Full rooted, xposed framework, modem is I777UCMD8, CWM Recovery siyah 6.0.1.2. I want to instal Celeriter ROM 4.4.2 for i9100 ported to my i777. I really appreciate your help

Right

Rom in your card

* BACK UP
* go to Recovery mode
* Wipe data factory reset & wipe cache
* Flash a Kitkat compatible CWM
* Go to Advance: wipe dalvik cache
* Select install zip from sd card and choose Rom
* then flash I777UCMD8 Modem
* Then flash latest Jeboo Kernel
* reboot the device
* be patient
* enjoy!

You're right, the most recent Jeboo kernel for the i777 (2.3a) is NOT compatible with KK roms - don't try and install that on 4.4 roms or you'll run into bootloops, 2.3a works fairly well on Samsung-based 9100 roms (4.1.2) if you decide to port those.

For porting KK, only RenderBroken's CWM or TWRP (the one I personally use) kernels work for the i777.

Ok, after I install a KK Rom my phone keep booting itself after I lock the screen, Maybe i'm doing something wrong

Thanks!
