How to Install ClockWorkMod Custom Recovery in Samsung Galaxy Y

If you have rooted your Samsung Galaxy  Y, then you can get even more control on your mobile by simply installing ClockWorkMod custom recovery on the rooted mobile. I’m repeating, ClockWorkMod custom recovery will work on if your mobile is already rooted. This is complete and detail guide to install ClockWorkMod Custom recovery in Samsung Galaxy Y.

Why installing ClockWorkMod Custom Recovery?

By installing ClockWorkMod Custome recovery, your mobile is enabled/capable of installing Custome ROM’s in it. If you proceed to install Custom ROM without installing ClockWorkMod recovery, you might end at Samsung S screen. I mean to say, mobile will become useless (Bricked mobile)
