Android Bios aka Recovery console

Hope you must be aware of Windows BIOS? A similar concept do exist in Android devices, but special thanks to Koush who exploited this and created a simple to use Recovery console with some powerful options. ClockwordMod (also known as CWM) has been used extensively by Android fellas to get control and manipulate Android devices. Theory apart, let's deep dive into some of the ClockwordMod procedures Pre-requisites. Unzip /Archive Software. I prefer  7zip . Either ( Android SDK )  OR else (Install  ADB + Wrapper scripts) Device specific Clockwork Image ( List here ). ClockworkMod Installation Unzip the above ADB or Android SDK into a directory (eg   C:\myTestLocation\<unzipHere>\) Ensure your phone has sufficient charge to run in battery mode for sometime. Ensure your phone is ON. Connect the phone to your PC. Most of the cases, device specific (OEM) drivers will be installed. Now enable Debugging. (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging)
