I've been running AOKP with CWM touch recovery for a while, but I decided I want to try going back to stock for a while.

I've successfully reflashed the stock 4.0.2 image, and the phone boots normally. However, I have not been able to get stock recovery working again. I've flashed it multiple times, both using Wug's toolkit and also manually using fastboot; the flash appears successful, but then when I try to boot into recovery I get the red triangle error.

I can flash CWM and get it to work just fine. But I want to install the 4.0.4 OTA update, and I need stock recovery to do that. Every time I flash the stock recovery I end up with no working recovery at all.

I'd appreciate any suggestions...


EDIT: Annnndd .... never mind. As usually happens, right after posting this question I got it working. Or, more correctly, I discovered that I already had it working, and I'd just forgotten how to use the stock recovery.

Lol was gonna say with stock I think you have to press both volumes or something at that android logo right?

The only problems I ever see problems posted about is the touch recovery. Just stick with CMW. Been using it for years without an issue.
