Being a complete newbie to Android world: what do these recovery things do, exactly, and why is Clockmod so popular over the others? I mean, I suppose these things help you if your flash goes awry, right? But what else?

You can do a whole system backup and restore and

heres the fun part, you can flash (install) other roms, modems, kernals, etc that the developers come up with. You could flash google 3.1 right now.
My phone has like 6 roms and 3 modems on it. each rom acts and looks different, is faster or slower. my stock gps didnt work worth crap till i flashed a different modem

How safe is this with respect to backing up partitions!

the clockwork recovery as well any custom recovery. it allows the unsigned .zip that we use to changes roms update and so on., without being stopped by manfacturer security
clockwork its popularity might have come from the awesome rom manager app i believe he is also on the cm team. someone with better knowledge can answer that one.

So im a big noob on modding tablets, and not wanting to brick it I would appreciate the help
So i install this app (already done) then open it up... i have 2 choices install clockwork recovery or install stock USA...... so i install clockwork recovery?
what does this do? lets me install custom 'recovery.img' onto the device such as PRIME 1.4?
so i download PRIME 1.4.zip and inside are 2 folders and boot.img, how do i then go about safely putting PRIME on the device?
sorry for all the questions but everyone's gotta learn sometime ;D
many thanks.
all helpful posts in helping me understand will be thank'd!!

You leave Primed zipped and put it on your SDcard.
You then boot into CWM and select install .zip from SDcard.
Navigate to the file (Prime 1.4) and just select it.
It should then install
Reboot and have lots of new fun!

How do I boot into CWM? like a device reboot, or via the app?
Ok so I installed CWM recovery from the app above.... and moved the PRIME.zip file to my SDcard root but in the app now the "Custom or Stock recovery.img from microSD" is greyed out.
Any ideas how I install PRIME?
I also rebooted the device and managed to boot it into CWM, however when i go to "install zip from sd card" PRIME does not appear in the list, i get DCIM/ and LOST.DIR/

^ My advice is to STOP RIGHT THERE
Don't even THINK about installing Prime until you've read the Prime thread in the development section and UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
Otherwise you WILL KILL YOUR TABLET.
Seriously, newbies shouldn't be doing any of this stuff until you've understood how to do it safely.

prime should be in your external sd card... not in sdcard .. do you can understand this ???
cwm can only read external sd card and usb storage like usb thumb drive

[Q] Going to be modding a RAZR M in a few hours...

Was wondering if there was any sort of process I should be aware of or anything like that.
From what I understand, I have to have the phone rooted, then run Motopocalypse, and then from there I'll have an unlocked bootloader. From there, I install a custom recovery (going for TWRP) via fastboot, and then choose a custom ROM/Kernel and Gapps to flash.
Now at that point, I'm wondering if I can use a flash drive over USB OTG to flash the files, or if I have to adb push them over.
From there, I simply setup the phone and everything should be fine?
I have experience with custom ROMs on Nexus devices and a few Samsung devices; never really messed with any Droid devices though.

Well, the easiest method is to have the files you want to flash on a MicroSD care and have that in the phone. Personally, I copy the files over to the phone before wiping anything, and then install from the MicroSD card. TWRP will see it as 'external1'.

Accidentally wiped OS from phone

I accidentally wiped my OS from my phone when I wasn't paying attention. All recoveries wiped as well. It will not boot past startup screen. Odin v3.07 and 3.09 both display FAIL when I try to flash the stock ROM back. I am using a G900P. Help?

How do you accidentally wipe an OS from a phone?
You're putting the phone in download mode for ODIN right?

Yes. It recognizes my phone as plugged in but keeps displaying a FAIL message when flashing, Also I'm running Android 5.0.

Try this

If you're putting your phone into Download Mode you should be able to flash a custom recovery onto it (such as TWRP - the one I personally use.)
Try flashing that onto your device then flash a ROM through TWRP - You can mount your phone and SD card onto a PC through this, allowing for you to access the devices file system here.
Then, if you really wanted to, you can go through Samsung Kies on your PC and restore back to the original TouchWiz ROM from Samsung. It'll ask you to verify your device and ask you to put it into download mode but not sure if you'd want to go back to stock.
If you need any more help, just ask here and I'll give you a hand.

I'm going to try the Mounting method but I don't exactly understand the process.

It's quite basic, you simply just go into TWRP and select what you want to be mounted to the computer from the custom recovery. If you need more help here, just let me know.

Also, in download mode I'm not sure if you can access the devices file system through Windows / OS X - Never tried, but I'm assuming it works - Don't quote me on that tho haha.

No, that's what ADB is for, but the device needs to be booted for ADB, download mode is just for flashing with ODIN

If you wiped the OS, you have no reason for adb
Use my link to flash a rom, or use ODIN and a stock rom

Flash a custom ROM

Help! Please?

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy s4 (KitKat) with towelroot. I used CWM to backup everything as I'm supposed to do. It says I've lost the recovery file? Can someone help me. O have no access to a computer.
I need a .zip file for cwm recovery I have another phone with root access that I can use to transfer the .zip file to the cwm folder to restore the device.
It is US CELLULAR 4g lte, SCH- (I can't remember the rest of that)
I'm gonna cry. Please help me....

What exactly is the problem here? Your phone doesn't boot anymore or what?

I guess I need a computer. Damn.

Sorry. I don't know when you responded. Slow network. It just won't boot past the CWM recovery/reeboot system now screen. It says my CWM folder is empty. I have an S3 I can use to transfer the .zip CWM file to the SD card of the S4, if I had the .zip file. I have no way to a computer to do anything like that, that way. The I'm Samsung Leiss? (I think) to restore it back to the factory version.
Thanks for answering. Appreciate it a lot.

If you mean that you can use a s3 backup on the s4, then no, don't do that, i believe you can flash the stock firmware using your phone by MobileOdin or Flashfire apps...i guess, but i never tried them so i wouldn't recommend, if you have CWM recovery installed, you can try flashing a stock based ROM from development thread(if you like TW ROMs), you can also flash any custom ROM available for your model in the development thread.

That's a good method. When flashing twrp your internal storage will be wiped, you need to flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip + a ROM, otherwise it won't work

alright.

Ok..!! so
1. flash twrp.
2. flash no verify opt encrypt.zip.
3. flash supersu or magisk.zip
4. reboot.
is this the right way?

BRo, I just want root, so if I follow those steps, internal storage will be as it was and I will also get root access right?

No if you flash twrp everything on the internal storage will be gone , that's why you need to flash a ROM
