Help Stuck In CWMR v5.8

Hi gurus,

I was trying to flash a Kitkat ROM OctOS with CWMR v5.8.0.2 and I ended up with some set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed. My phone does not have any operating system anymore because this rom did a system partition, and i did a format factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik. Now the phone kept on restarting to clockworkmod recovery.

I read online somewhere says i need a higher version if CWMR.
My issue here is:

1) How do I put in new rom if i can't get into any O/S?
2) I tried mounting from CWMR using the "mount and storage" option but nothing shows up in my W8.

Hope to hear from someone. Now I'm stuck without a phone at all. :(
 
Solved my own problem for stuck in CWMR.
But what do I need to update on the phone in order for me to install Android 4.4.x? (set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed.)

Solution to download to phone without O/S ; Operating System
1) DOwnloaded Mini-SDK package to get the ADB package.
2) Downloaded phone drivers from OEM Site
3) Open cmd, go to directory of Mini-SDK
4) Check for devive serial number by typing
adb devices
5) Look for the one with serial number recoverry not the emulator
6) Download ROM that works into the same directory where the adb.exe resides.
7) Pushed working ROM into the phone by
adb -s serialnumber push filename.zip /data/media/0

viola, now I have uploaded the working ROM.
