This tutorial covering how to install Clock Work Mode (CWM) on your Samsung Galaxy 5 device.

Requirements:

Note: I’m not responsible for any damages to your phone.

Usage:
ClockworkMod Recovery replaces the old "Samsung Recovery Utils for BML" recovery partition, and you can access it in the same ways as before: either via adb reboot recovery, or in the case of CyanogenMod, by choosing Recovery from the Reboot menu.
Once you've entered ClockworkMod Recovery, you will be presented with several options (some familiar, some not). I won't try to explain all of the options, as there are better guides on the internet (example: the AddictiveTips site above). However, these are the ones you should really know about:

  • Wipe data/factory reset - same as before
  • Wipe cache partition - same as before
  • Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard - this is the new method you will be using to flash ROMs and update packages
  • Backup & restore - this menu lets you perform a full backup or restore of your boot, /cache, /data/ & app2sd partition (which is compatible with mad2sd)
  • Mounts & storage -> mount USB storage - this lets you enable UMS mode to copy update packages (if you forgot to transfer before rebooting into recovery)
  • Advanced -> partition SD card - this lets you easily partition your SD card for use with mad2sd or any third-party app2sd solutions. It lets you select the size for the EXT4 partition as well as swap. MAKE SURE TO BACKUP ALL DATA ON YOUR CARD BEFORE USING THIS OPTION.

The most frequently used are Backup and Restore.
Usage example:

Let’s say you like to tries many apps on the market and you accidentally broke something on the phone (ex: Android market won’t work). In most cases you will wipe the entire data on your phone and install your favorite apps one by one from the beginning.

But with CWM you can have your life easier. Here’s how to:

Install must have apps on your phone which you use the most, after everything installed with no problems, use CWM to backup your system (the backup is more like disk image capture it will backup everything on your phone but not sd card).

After the backup complete you can find it on your sd card – clockworkmode – backup folder and copy these files to your computer (just in case if your sd card corrupt you still have the copy on your PC).

In this case if you broke your phone system, you can just restart your phone in CWM mode and restore from the backup you create earlier.
