Here's an alternative...
1- Download your device specific recovery zip file
2- Download the phablet recovery zip file
3a- Reboot into recovery (non stock) -> adb reboot recovery
    - Select side load on device
    - adb sideload zipfile
3b- Push zips to /sdcard/
    - adb reboot recovery
    - And go to the deploy zip file (as if it were cyanogenmod), for
both zips
4- Reboot
5- Enjoy
(extra)
6- Look for bugs and possible fixes :-)

Cheers
Sergio.
