[Q] How do I install clockworkmod recovery?

Hi, I have tried and tried to get CWM to put over my old version of CWM but it never works. I was wondering if you guys could pack this file into a .tar. Would installing the version I have on my computer right now by going to the old CWM menu then clicking install zip from sd card>install zip from internal sd card and then click the CWM file I have install CWM properly?

You cannot flash recovery, while being inside a recovery. Install zip from sd card will install over the system partition.
This is probably not what you want.
Use fastboot to flash your img file.
ROM Manager can also flash to recovery coz the recovery is not mounted when device is boot normally.

Mobile Odin is the only way I can flash 6.0.0.19, 5.5.0.4 works through Windows Odin though for me.
Just remember you should be flashing a recovery.img file

Unroot Karbonn A9 without bricking it.

For those who want to Unroot their Karbonn A9 with less chances of without bricking
Before performing any operation make a Nandroid backup using CWM.
Download this http://karbonnklinic.com/download/Downloads/sw/A9.rar 145 MB Update file which is in zip then extract it on your computer. After extracting there will be another zip file named Update.zip.
Now put the Update.zip on your phone's sd card, please make sure you have not put it under any folder.
Now reboot your phone into recovery and then install choose the option Install zip from sd card and then choose the option Install Update.zip from sd card, when you will select it, it will find the Update.zip file automatically on your sd card and ask you to install. Just install this file, it will took 2-3 min for install.
After successful installation don't reboot the device, just go to recovery andd wipe cache partition and then under advanced select option wipe dalvik cache, if you don't perform these option then you will stuck on the Karbonn Smart start-up screen.
