ClockworkMod recovery is one of the most widely used custom Android recoveries that is available for most mainstream Android devices.
ClockworkMod, abbreviated as CWM, is a popular custom recovery for Android phones, tablets and TV Sticks, developed by Koushik Dutta (Koush), a well-known name in the Android development community.

This method does require you to fully root your device in order to be installed but once rooted (in our case, Bob already did that for us) installing it is as simple as re-naming the zip to “update”, copy on your SD card and stick in our device and reboot, done!
