How to Flash a Custom Recovery on the Samsung Conquer 4G

Installing ClockworkMod Recovery on the Samsung Conquer 4G will let you flash custom ROMs and all those mods that happen to be in the recovery flashable department. While you can always add new mods to your device using the recovery, you can also take backups of your current firmware so in case something goes wrong while flashing files, you can easily revert back to the working version of firmware in a matter of a few minutes. If this sounds good to you, then go ahead and flash ClockworkMod Recovery on your Samsung Conquer 4G smartphone.
