ClockworkMod Recovery

It’s important to remember that this ClockworkMod version is currently in Alpha building stages. It is working OK but it is not a stable build.

Some of the features that will reportedly not work in this alpha build are formatting, partitioning and gaining USB mass storage. While it would be nice to have these features that arent the be all and end all. There are many great features that will work such as back up and restores, installing the zip files, rebooting, wiping of the cache, wiping data, peforming a factory reset as well as having control of all the buttons.

As with all tutorials we recommend doing a standard back up before you begin just in case anything goes wrong. You should also try to have as much battery life as possible in your device to ensure a safe procedure.
