Install Clock Work Mod Recovery

After successfully rooting your phone its time to install clock work mod recovery to your phone. The cwm as it is called gives flexibility in the customization of your phone. It makes installing third party roms to your phone really easy and also enables you backup your stock rom which makes the whole process really safe.


Installation process is somewhat similar to that of rooting. Instead of replacing boot.img file you replace this file with recovery.img in the same folder. And like rooting don't forget to save the original recovery.img file to your computer as it will be required to unroot your phone. 


Note: Pleas don't root and install cmw at the same instance. Repeat the procedure two times once too root and second time to install cmw.




Operating CMW:  

1. To launch CMW you need to power on your phone while holding the volume up button.
2. Use volume controls to navigate through the menu (volume up to scroll up and volume down to scroll down).
3. To select a particular option press power on button.
4. Soft touch back button acts as the back button for CMW as well.  

Backing up your stock rom:
