Try my Rom.and that folder is where you can backup and restore your phone.the way you get in cwm is complety turn off your.ill take out the battery just to be safe.after your phone is off.hold the up volume button and then presss and hold power button.and hold those those two buttons until to see a screen that has reboot system,install from sd,backup and restore.that is how you put your phone in recovery mode. basicly it cwm.so ill try my rom.all the instructions is in the thread http://androidforums.com/galaxy-pre...excel-prevail-beta-2-updated.html#post3767357

Exactly which apps have you installed so far? There is one in particular which may possibly add a CWM folder (ROM MANAGER) even if you don't have Clockwork installed. Please do not attempt to download anything from ROM MANAGER if that's the case. The Prevail is not compatible and will be turned into a plastic brick by the ROMS on that app.

Clockworkmod is an add on system in which you can make a recovery backup of your phone if CWM is installed . To access CWM on a "stock modded" phone you have to boot into recovery by pressing the power button, volume up, and the camera button basically at the same time. Upon the reboot screen let go of the buttons.

Sorry for the double post. I can't edit for some reason...

One issue... Clockworkmod is not installed by 1 click. You need to download and install Odin on the computer to install CWM.
