  6. Hey guys, does this really work when I'm on JELLY BEAN ? Because many custom recoveries are only for Gingerbread which end in bricking your phone so that's why I'm asking you. Thanks in advance.

    1. Just press the home button two times right after choosing cwm.zip... if choosing zip from sd card doesn't work, choose internal instead.
