What's The Difference Between Stock Recovery And Clockworkmod Recovery

In stock recovery you can achieve root access without getting a yellow triangle which means that the flash counter is tripped by 1 which simply means you have rooted your device and it mainly shows up during boot up. In clockworkmod recovery you can do a nandroid backup and restore (backing up and restoring stock rom), install all custom roms, install all kinds of zips etc. These functions are unavailable in stock recovery. So its your duty to decide with which recovery you want to root your galaxy s duos.

• Download the galaxy s duos rooting package from the link in files section. Extract all the files on desktop in a separate folder.

• Backup of stock rom is required because if later you want to unroot your galaxy s duos then you should restore this backup of stock rom and flash the 'stock_recovery.tar' ( included in galaxy s duos root package) file via odin as you did with 'recovery.tar'
• Now after backup operation, select 'install zip from sdcard' now either choose 'Choose zip from external sdcard' or 'Choose zip from internal sdcard' depending upon where you stored the file and browse the 'CWM-Superuser-3.1.3' zip file.
