You can now flash the bootstrap ClockworkMod Recovery package on the Motorola Photon 4G. You of course have to have your Photon rooted (if you need to root it still you can go to this article). Along with root access you will need an AC adapter with the USB charging cable.

Photon 4G ClockworkMod Recovery Installation Instructions:

  1. Download the recovery file (Download Link)
  2. Connect your Photon to the computer via USB
  3. Put the .apk you downloaded on your phone
  4. Unplug your phone from the computer
  5. find and install “Bootstrap_signed.apk” (the file you just put on the phone)
  6. After install is done run the application
  7. Click “Install Recovery”
  8. Accept the Superuser request
  9. After completed, plug your Photon 4G into the wall to charge
  10. Verify that your phone is charging from the wall
  11. Press “Recovery Boot”
  12. Your device will now reboot into CWM Recovery (be patient it is slow)

I have been interested in Android from the moment the first devices were released. I love the fact that it's such a widely accepted mobile OS and that I can be a large part of the community as a whole.
