### Recovery

There are 3 recoveries available right now Stack samsung recovery, Cyanogen(CWM) recovery (link) and RZ Recovery (link).

ON flashing roms stack recovery will be replaced by one of other two recoveries ie. either Cyanogen or RZ. It is recommended to use cyanogen.

If u some how want to Stack recovery. Just use odin and flash original firmware according to tutorial mentioned below.
