Yes its for rooting. Clockworkmod (CWM) is tool that allow you to flash roms/kernels and other stuff. Even the stock rom comes with samsung own CWM. First it will flash a kernel with CWM then your suppose to use superoneclick to root it.

So i just have to download the file first?

Oh man its really complicated.

Isn't that recovery with less function. Clockwork mod recovery is there to replace the default recovery. That is what I always thought.

Yes its a limited recovery, which is why we still need the modded recovery from custom kernels.

Akcat, find a video tutorial, mimic everything shown. xD

ant, I get what you mean. I don't think a stock recovery can be called cwm. Oh whatever.

PS typing with s2 using Swype is frustrating.

Yes.

1. Power your device off (shutdown)
2. Boot into Download-Mode using Volume Down + Home + Power
3. Hit Volume Up to accept the warning
4. Start Odin on PC
5. Click PDA box and choose "GT-I9100G_XX_ClockworkMod-Recovery_X.X.X.X.tar" that you downloaded (Note this is .tar file) (DO NOT tick repartition)
6. Connect your Phone to PC
7. If odin detect your phone the first box will turn yellow
8. Click start
9. Once successful the first box will turn green
10. Device will auto reboot.
11. After reboot you can easily root your device using SuperOneClick. This will install superuser and busybox for u.

Edit
Note:
1. Make sure kies is installed for the correct drivers to allow odin to detect your phone
2. BUT make sure kies is not running in the background or odin will not work. Open up your pc task manager and kill anything with the word kies on it. tongue.gif
3. Some people prefer to disable antivirus also.
4. Never ever disconnect usb cable while flashing.

Touchwiz can't resize some widgets, use either Apex and Nova, they can resize any widget.
