Should I install higher CWM on old device?

I am [updating my Galaxy S3 Mini with Android 5](http://www.android.gs/update-galaxy-s3-mini-with-android-5-0-lollipop-firmware/) . Here is my steps: 1. Copy the Lollipop firmware and Google apps package downloaded in the page above into phone (not sd card). 2. Because I meet the fail to verify whole-file signature error, I need to install ClockworkMod Recovery. I used Odin 3.10. The name of the recovery file is recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.7-golden.tar.md5. I downloaded it from [the #4 comment in this page](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232278) . However when I checked back, it gave me 404 error :-/ 3. Everything seems to be ok, the Lollipop was installed successfully. Nevertheless when I installed Google apps, I got the [set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/62982/flashing-cm-11-i-get-set-metadata-recursive-some-changes-failed) error. The best answer suggested me to install a higher version of CWM, however when I go to the [ROM Manager page of ClowkworkMod website](https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager) , I see that the highest version of CWM for my device is 6.0.2.7, the version that I'm using. So should I use the higher version of CWM, even though it's not build for my device? --- After Matthew Read suggests me to recover, I repeat step 2. This time, I can't access the recovery mode. The phone screen keeps being black and after a while it restarts to normal mode.
