Root Which files go where?

Hello, I've only rooted one phone before and I made it into a bit of a headache but thanks to a moderator I got through it. But on to my new phone and I want to make sure I'm following directions before I start and gum something simple up by over thinking it again...

Phone: Samsung Rugby Pro
model# Samsung-SGH-I547
Android 4.1.2
Baseband I547UCBLL1
Kernel 3.0.31-1371191
Build J205K.I547UCCMH5

I have downloaded:
comanche_CWR_6019_KemoNine.img
comanche_cwr_6015_utkanos.tar.md5
comanche_ucli3_stock_recovery.tar.md5
cwmr_root.zip
Odin

My question is to make sure I'm doing the correct things listed in the root instructions with the correct files.

1) comanche_CWR_6019_KemoNine.img
comanche_cwr_6015_utkanos.tar.md5 Go on my computer in the same folder and the .tar is the one I use with odin correct?

2) cwmr_root.zip Goes on my phone internal memory and external memory card Correct?

3) comanche_ucli3_stock_recovery.tar.md5 Goes on my computer just encase I ever want to go back to stock correct?

The comanche_CWR_6019_KemoNine.img was what was getting me confused as the instructions didn't say anything about it.

I know they are real noob quesions but I want to get everything right the first time.
Thanks In Advance
 
To root the phone, su and busybox go to /system/bin and/or /system/xbin. The Superuser app installs like any other app. Any other file has nothing to do with rooting (except the exploit, and where that goes depends on the exploit you're using.) Using TAR files is replacing the ROM, it's not rooting. One isn't the other.
 
Thanks for the info on just straight rooting but I was looking at gaining root by this method so I would also get clockwork recovery & be all set to switch to cm10 if I decide to (both I had on my previous phone) I just need make sure I've got what I'm doing straight in my before I do it
 
The Kemonine and utkanos recoveries are just different versions of CWM, they do the same thing. Follow the instructions to a T as Odin can easily brick a phone if used wrong.

As for CM10, I haven't played with it in a while, but it should be mostly useable.
