    will this work on 4.0.4 because it wont install the recovery for me. should i downgrae to gingerbread?

    • Catalin Nichita

      I can’t guarantee that this guide will work for your 4.0.4 version. The method was tested just for version powered by Gingerbread.

  • After much personal headache I feel I should share this with you:
    You must downgrade to Gingerbread. That is the tried and true (and only working) method. If you are on ICS, you will need to downgrade to GB via the Verizon support tool, install clockwork, and only then install your new roms. Hope that helps.
