ClockworkMod#ClockworkMod Recovery

ClockworkMod Recovery is an Android custom recovery image. Once installed, this recovery image replaces the Android device's stock recovery image. Using this recovery image, various system-level operations can be performed. For example, one can create and restore partition backups, root, install, and upgrade custom ROMs.{{cite web|title=What is a Custom Recovery on Android, and Why Would I Want One?|last=Hoffman|first=Chris|date=17 July 2014 |publisher=How-To Geek|url=https://www.howtogeek.com/193055/what-is-a-custom-recovery-on-android-and-why-would-i-want-one/}}{{cite web |url=http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/whats-custom-recovery-exploring-cwm-twrp-friends/ |title=What's a Custom Recovery?
