Step 1 of installation: How to enter CWM ?

well u must know this but hey maybe there is a noob out there !! press (volume UP + power button +HOME button) and u will be in CWM recovery.

STEP 2 : What do u need to do in recovery mode ?

1- choose install from sd card

2- browse to the folder where u have all the files and choose Abyss kernel 4.2

3- Install abyss kernel 4.2 (DON't RESTART !!!)

4- now choose advanced in CWM and then choose >>> restart in recovery mode
