How To Root And Flash Clockwork Recovery All At Once-

Download the CWR AIO from the All Things Root section (The Forum you are in) You can find direct links to it in the All Things Root Guide that is stickied at the top of this forum.

Thanks to PlayfulGod and mtmichaelson they have made it very simple and easy to root and flash Clockwork Recovery all in one shot. Here's the How to step by step:

1- Download CWR onto your computer

2- After downloaded, right click and select "Extract" and extract the file.

3- Once extracted, on your phone go to Settings>Applications>Development and check the box next to "USB Debugging"

4- Then plug your phone into your computer and pull down the status bar and press the "USB Connected" notification and select "Internet Mode" and hit OK

5- Open the CWR file you extracted. Once you are in the file, double click "cwm_windows_install.bat" if you are using Windows or if you have Linux double click "cwm_linux_install.sh"

Now a black window will pop up and a bunch of stuff will run. Just let it do its thing and your phone will reboot and you will be not only be rooted but will have CWR flashed to your phone.

To reboot the easiest way download Quick Boot (Reboot) free off the Android Market. Open the app and select "Reboot into Recovery"


How To Make A Backup After Rebooting Into Recovery-

Once you flashed the CWR All in One Root and Recovery you want to make a back up BEFORE you do anything else. To make a back up in recovery:

1- Once you have used Quick Reboot to boot into recovery and are in CWR, using your volume keys to scroll and your power button to select, scroll down to "Back up and Restore" and select it.

2- Select "back up" with your power button

3- CWR will proceed to make a back up of your current ROM. It takes a couple minutes, but once its done select "Reboot System Now" and your phone will reboot

To restore,a back up follow the same steps but instead of selecting "back up" after selecting "Back Up and Restore" select "restore" then select a back up to restore.

The adb driver gets installed by your phone when you enable usb debugging the first time. Google the all in one esteem drivers download.

Check my test mode thread. I have a link in there.

 

[PlayfulGod]

most of the installers posted here (by me anyhow) include adb and the needed USB drivers.
