ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) is a replacement recovery option
for Android devices,
made by Koushik "Koush" Dutta. It is based on the Android 2.1
(Eclair) recovery image. Features include Nandroid backup, adb shell,
advanced update.zip options (ignore asserts and signature checks), and file
browser for choosing update.zips
The Rom Manager app may
be used for installing CWM, overwriting the device's stock recovery. As with
the stock recovery, CWM can apply software changes to the device. Unlike the
stock recovery, CWM is able to entirely replace the device's primary Android
operating system ("flashing a new ROM"), including with aftermarket
replacements such as CyanogenMod. Once
installed, CWM it is accessed by turning your phone off, then triggering the bootloader prompt
by holding down some device-dependent button combination as it is turned on.
CWM is also known as clockwork and CW recovery.
