hii friends some of members or newbies dont know anythig about cwm so let me explain all these things and flashing and booting in cwm
two methods can be used to flash cwm !
first is by using application
second is by using fastboot mode.
flash cwm via apps
there are mainly two apps are used to flash cwm
mobile uncle tool : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileuncle.toolbox&hl=en
recovery manager(rom manager may be) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en
how to flash :
choose flash cwm from sd card (recovery.img should be placed in sdcard root) and then flash. u need to be smart because app interface changes according to updates.
cwm links :
